elusive and mysterious post WWII childhood memories of Paris...
Oleg Sentsov, a Ukrainian writer and filmmaker, was imprisoned for being a pro-Ukrainian activist who peacefully resisted the Russian occupation of Crimea. Sentenced to 20 years in jail on trumped up charges by the Russian court, Oleg was set free and returned to Ukraine along with 34 other prisoners in a long-awaited prisoner exchange last year.
For over five years Vladimir Putin’s regime denied him freedom expecting him to confess to actions he never committed. They tortured him but his spirit was unbreakable. During his 145-day hunger strike in prison, he demanded the release of all Ukrainian political prisoners in Russia. His selfless act has inspired many around the world and reminded us about the power of spirit and importance of principles.
Canada’s Conservatives have always stood up for human rights and will continue to advocate for the release of all unlawfully detained Ukrainians by Putin’s regime. I encourage all Canadians to learn more about Oleg Sentsov’s story.
Oleg Sentsov, un écrivain et cinéaste ukrainien, a été emprisonné à cause de son militantisme pro-ukrainien après avoir résisté de manière pacifique à l’occupation de la Crimée par la Russie. Condamné à 20 ans de prison par le tribunal russe en raisons de fausses accusations, Oleg a été libéré et renvoyé en Ukraine aux côtés de 34 autres prisonniers lors de l’échange de prisonniers tant attendu de l’an passé.
Pendant plus de cinq ans, le régime de Vladimir Poutine lui a refusé sa liberté, s’attendant à ce qu’il avoue des actes qu’il n’a jamais commis. Ils l’ont torturé, mais il est demeuré inébranlable. Durant sa grève de la faim, qui a duré 145 jours, il a exigé la libération de tous les prisonniers politiques ukrainiens de la Russie. Son geste altruiste a inspiré des gens du monde entier et nous rappelle la puissance de la détermination et l’importance des principes.
Les conservateurs du Canada ont toujours défendu les droits humains et continuent de se battre pour la libération de tous les Ukrainiens détenus illégalement par le régime de Poutine. J’encourage tous les Canadiens à en apprendre davantage sur l’histoire d’Oleg Sentsov.

Vancouver, Canada joins international emergency protests
following sentencing of Chelsea Manning!
Activists and supporters of Chelsea Manning (formerly
Bradley Manning) came together on August 21st on less than 24 hours
notice to protest the unjust prison sentence of 35 years handed down to
Manning. Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO) set up an information
table in downtown Vancouver while supporters held picket signs, collected
petition signatures and passed out brochures with information about the case
and sentencing. There was an unprecedented response of passer-bys in support of
Manning, and the info table and petitioners were constantly busy with people
signing the petition and expressing their opposition to the outrageous
sentencing.
The action caught the attention of Vancouver’s main news
talk radio station CKNW, who sent a reporter to cover the action. Supporter’s
chants of “Free Bradley Manning Now!” were recorded as well as an interview
with MAWO co-chair Janine Solanki. Coverage of the protest was aired on the
evening news and repeated throughout the night to the next morning on this
widely listened to station.

Six Years of Rohingya Refugee Crisis in Bangladesh: From Here to Where?
www.spf.org/apbi/news_en/b_240627.html
The Rohingyas are a Muslim minority from the North Rakhine State in western Burma. Over the past forty years, the Burmese government has systematically stripped over 1 million Rohingya of their citizenship. Recognized as one of the most oppressed ethnic groups in the world, the Rohingya are granted few social, economic and civil rights. They are subjected to forced labor, arbitrary land seizure, religious persecution, extortion, the freedom to travel, and the right to marry. Because of the abuse they endure in Burma, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Burma to seek sanctuary in neighboring Bangladesh. In the refugee camps along the south east coast where they settle, most are not recognized as refugees and are considered illegal economic migrants. Unwanted and unwelcome, they receive little or no humanitarian assistance and are vulnerable to exploitation and harassment. In recent years, the Rohingya have paid brokers to smuggle them by boat from Bangladesh to Malaysia and even beyond to Australia, sparking the attention of governments throughout the region.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has confirmed that the statelessness of the Rohingya is not just a Burma-related problem, but a problem with larger regional implications.

In the heart of Vienna lies the abbey of Our Lady to the Scots, the habitat of Benedictine monks who know themselves addressed by this sentence from the book of Psalms in person.
By the aim of the search for God and by the concrete form of life the monks are associated with the many Benedictine monks and Benedictine nuns all over the world. In addition, they know themselves in solidarity with all people of good will, like them, seeking true life.

Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.
Schottenstift Deed - © Schottenstift
Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.

Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire stands in a commanding position above the River Swale close to the centre of the town of Richmond. It was originally called Riche Mount, 'the strong hill'. The castle was probably constructed from 1071 onwards as part of the Norman Conquest of Saxon England as the Domesday Book of 1086 refers to 'a castlery' at Richmond in that year.
www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157632524426141/ to see the full set.
William the Conquerer had put down the 1069 rebellion at York which was followed by his 'Harrying of the North' - an act of ethnic cleansing which depopulated large areas for a generation or more. As further punishment King William divided up the lands of north Yorkshire among his most loyal followers. Alan Rufus, Count of Penthievre in Brittany received the borough of Richmond and began constructing the castle to defend against further rebellions and establish a personal base for one of the most extensive Norman estates in England which covered parts of eight counties - the Honour of Richmond. The Dukes of Brittany became the owners of the castle though it was often confiscated for various periods by English kings.
One record which survives from the 1190s names the knights who were responsible for garrisoning various sections of the castle walls. From this list we read that, for example, Torphini, son of Robert Manfield was responsible for the section of the castle wall from the kitchen to the brewhouse.
The original stone Norman castle appears to have lacked an obvious final refuge or 'keep' but a 100-foot-high keep of honey-coloured sandstone was constructed at the end of the 12th century by the later Duke Conan. This keep was probably completed by King Henry II and had 11-foot-thick walls. At the same time that the keep was probably completed, Henry II considerably strengthened the castle by adding towers and a barbican outwork in front of the main gate. Henry III and King Edward I spent more money on the site including Edward's improvements to the keep interior.
In addition to the main circuit of the wall, there was the barbican in front of the main gate which functioned as an 'air lock' - allowing visitors and wagons to be checked before entry to the main castle. On the other side of the castle overlooking the river was another enclosure or bailey called the Cockpit which may have functioned as a garden and was overlooked by a balcony. A drawing of 1674 suggests there was another longer balcony overlooking the river side of Scolland's Hall, the Great Hall.
As a castle Richmond had fallen out of use by the end of the 14th century and did not receive major improvements after that date. A survey of 1538 shows it was ruinous but paintings by Turner and others and the rise of tourism and an interest in antiquities led to repairs to the keep in the early 19th century.
The castle became the headquarters of the North Yorkshire Militia in 1855, with a military barracks constructed in the great courtyard. The barracks were the home of Boy Scouts founder Robert Baden-Powell for two years until 1910 while he commanded the Northern Territorial Army but the barracks building was eventually demolished in 1931.
The castle was used during the First World War as the base of the Non-Combatant Corps made up of conscientious objectors - conscripts who refused to fight. It was also used to imprison some conscientious objectors who refused to accept army discipline and participate in the war in any way. These included 'the Richmond 16' who were taken to France from the castle, charged under Field Regulations and then sentenced to death, these death sentences then being commuted to ten years' hard labour.
As presented today Richmond Castle has one of the finest examples of Norman buildings in Britain including Scollands Hall, the Great Hall of the castle. The keep has a restored roof and floors but is shown with the original 11th century main gate arch unblocked. This arch is now in the basement of the later 12th century keep which was built in front of it, the main gate then being moved to its present position which was dominated by the adjacent keep while the original arch we see today was filled-in to secure the keep.
Today the site is looked after by English Heritage and easily accessed from Richmond's market place.

This is an important leaf from of Peter Lombard's Sentences produced in England c.1280. (See also Ref 73).
The text is perhaps from Distinction XIV of the book, as the second rubric on the verso seems to refer to Chapter 77 of the book (Chapter 4 of that Distinction). Having said this, the other two rubrics are not easily recognisable as referring to Chapters 76 and 78 and it is not known what the long text on the recto is.
The size of the leaf, including repair, is 326mm x 219mm (12 8/10ins. x 8 6/10ins.).
Many letters in the top and bottom lines with calligraphic extensions, most highlighted in red and five of which include dragon's heads.
The text seems to have been proof read, as there are instances where omissions have been identified and noted in the margin (example - line 15, right column, recto). There are also instances where the original text has been removed and replaced (example - line 52, left column, recto).
This leaf is quite well glossed. There are two glosses in bright red, the longer of which translates as "Here begins the permitted authorities that are explained". Other glosses in at least four different hands can be identified.
CONDITION OF LEAF: -
The leaf must have fallen away from the book at some time and then repaired so that it could be re-attached. Otherwise it is in very good condition for its age.

On 7 November 2019, Trial Chamber VI of the International Criminal Court (“ICC”), unanimously, sentenced Bosco Ntaganda to a total of 30 years of imprisonment. The time Mr Ntaganda has spent in detention at the ICC - from 22 March 2013 to 7 November 2019 - will be deducted from this sentence.
Well-known television host Pamela Parker reports live from the Lincoln Fields Correctional Insitute, a medium-security prison for men and women in present-day Toronto. She's researching a story on the workings of the criminal justice system – in particular, the effectiveness of incarceration and the programs available to inmates to help them reintegrate into society once they are released.
The correctional facility is run by the socially progressive prison warden Beckett Benjamin Graff, a lover of theatre who believes in the therapeutic power of the arts. Graff decides that the gang members, prostitutes, con artists and thieves held in his institution will benefit from the opportunity to put on a play that mirrors their plight: a play about the social ills, societal inequality, human failings and moral choices they made that put them behind bars. The inmates have volunteered to design and perform a production of John Gay's The Beggar's Opera.
The Beggar's Opera tells the story of a love triangle between the thief Macheath, Polly Peachum, the sheltered daughter of Macheath's fence, Mr. Peachum, and the jailer's daughter Lucy Lockit, who is pregnant with Macheath's child.
Upon discovering Macheath and Polly have secretly married, Mr. Peachum is determined to have Macheath put behind bars. Polly warns him, but Macheath is betrayed by the prostitutes he frolics with and is caught and imprisoned. Lucy finds him in jail and Macheath convinces her it's not true that he's married to Polly, so Lucy helps him to escape.
Recaptured, Macheath is sentenced to be hanged. At the last moment, the jailer brings in four other pregnant “wives”. Macheath pronounces it all too much and claims he’d rather be hanged than deal with all these demanding women!
At this point, the news reporter Pamela Parker steps in, and pleads with the Warden to give the play a happy ending, with Macheath reprieved but forced to settle on one wife only.
Warden Graff hopes that enacting the 18th century Beggar's Opera will give 21st century inmates the self-knowledge that will help them on their path to rehabilitation.
But will it?

Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.

In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.

In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.

Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.

59-61 West 44th Street, Midtown, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
The Algonquin Hotel, which opened its doors in 1902, has played host to generations of famous men and women from the literary and theatrical worlds. Most often associated with the legendary Round Table — the group of critics and humorists who convened almost daily in the 1920s for luncheons spiced with quotable conversation and repartee — the hotel has also been frequented by countless others in the acting and writing professions. The particular cultural character of the Algonquin was nurtured by its devoted and congenial proprietor, Frank Case. "I was determined to get the Arts, especially the Theater,M Case later reminisced, and beginning with such illustrious guests as John and Ethel Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, Booth Tarkington and Sinclair Lewis, he proceeded to become 'boniface' to not only the stars, but to aspiring young artists as well.
The hotel is a representative example of an architectural mode highly popular in the early years of the century, a Beaux-Arts inspired design, with continuous projecting metal bay windows and neo- Renaissance detail. Designed by architect Goldwin Starrett, it complements the other fine buildings on this West 44th Street block, among them the New York Yacht Club (1899) and the Harvard Club (1894), both designated New York City landmarks.
Founded in the years immediately after the First World War, the Round Table, or the Vicious Circle as they apparently preferred to call themselves, began informally, first meeting for lunch in the. Oak Roan and later at a round table in the Rose Room. Its membership was never fixed, but generally speaking the group was fairly young and very convivial, confident and witty, and imbued with the high spirits of the 1920s. Their interests centered on theater and literature, politics and sports. Many were avid poker players. Frank Case provided them with an upstairs room for all night card games, played by the so-called Thanatqpsis Literary and Inside Straight Club. It was founded by Franklin Pierce Adams, who named it after a similar poker group he had formed in Paris while serving on the Army newspaper, Stars and Stripes. The key figures were all writers, and all enjoyed quips, bons mots, and repartee. A favorite punning game was termed I-Can-Give-You-A-Sentence (see below.) Begun when the members were relatively obscure, all became famous in their own day. The group was early an associated with the New Yorker magazine, founded by Harold Ross in 1925. Ross, although never known for his witticisms, nevertheless played an important part in the Round Table. His "prospectus" outlining the intended character of his fledgling magazine, might well have described the Pound Table itself:
Its general tenor will be one of gaiety, wit and satire, but it will be more than a jester. It will not be what is commonly called radical or highbrow. It will be what is commonly called sophisticated.... It will hate bunk.
With the onslaught of the Depression, the original cast of characters and a good deal of the spirit of the Round Table was dissipated, although numbers of the New Yorker staff, among them Peter Amo, James Thurber and E.B. White helped to fill the gaps.
Among the central figures of the group:
Franklin Pierce Adams (1181-1960): "Father" of the Round Table, columnist for the Herald Tribune, World, and Post, writing 'The Conning Tower" fear thirty years, with contributions from Round Table members. Wrote light verse and appeared on the radio program, "Information Please."
"The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool all of the people all of the time."
Robert Benchley (1889-1945): Drama critic for Life and The New Yorker. Humorist and writer of Hollywood comedy film shorts.
"It was one of those plays in which all the actors unfortunately enunciated clearly."
Heywood Broun (1838-1939): Began as drama critic for the World. Liberal, politically active columnist, writing "It Seems to Me." Founded American Newspaper Guild.
"The only real argument for Marriage is that it remains the best method for getting acquainted."
"Repartee is what you wish you said."
George S. Kaufman (1889-1961): Playwright, producer, director and drama critic for the New York Times. Highly successful collaboration with other playwrights, creating Pulitzer Prize winning plays and musical comedies.
On visiting Boston: "I went through once, but it was closed."
Playing I-Can-Give-You-A-Sentence using ^punctilious': "I know a farmer who has two daughters, Lizzie and Tillie. Lizzie is all right, but you have no idea how punk Tilly is."
Ring Lardner (1885-1933): Began as a sports columnist is Chicago. A master of the short story and of rural American dialect.
On a certain baseball player: "Although he is a bad fielder, he is also a poor hitter."
"Mr. Cobb took me into his library and showed me his books, of which he has a complete set."
"Frenchmen drink wine just like we used to drink water before Prohibition."
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967): Literary critic, short story and verse writer. Drama critic for Vanity Fair. Politically liberal and high priestess of Round Table wit.
On hearing that Calvin Coolidge had died: "How can you tell?"
Playing I-Can-Give-You-A-Sentence using * horticulture*: "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think."
Of her poetry: "I was following in the exquisite footsteps of Miss Edna St. Vincent Mil lay, unhappily in my own horrible sneakers."
Alexander Woollcott (1887-1943): Literary and drama critic, and radio commentator. Important arbiter of contemporary taste and fashion.
"All the things I really like to do are either immoral, illegal or fattening."
Located at 59 West 44th Street, the Algonquin is a twelve-story building with a three-story annex at the west, and belongs to the turn-of-the-century and early 20th-century development which characterizes much of the block. The Mansfield and the Iroquois Hotels, the New York Yacht Club, the Harvard Club, the Bar Association Building, and the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen building are also among the buildings contributing to the block's architectural interest, while the Algonquin annex, a converted stable, recalls the area's earlier 19th-century history.
In plan, the Algonquin displays a modified version of the traditional "dumbbell" arrangement, with recessed courtyards on the east and west elevations, and with the elevators banked at the core of the building. Originally, each floor contained single rooms and suites .
The facade of the building is executed in brick, with limestone, metal and terra-cotta detail in a Beaux-Art inspired version of the neo-Renaissance style. There are numerous comparable structures in the city, among them the Wolcott Apartments at 2 West 31st Street of 1902-04 and the Hotel Churchill at 252 West 76th Street of 1902-03. These buildings are all fine examples of their type, one very popular in the early 20th century. (At the Algonquin, major alterations are restricted to the first story, with its replacement marquee, and at the twelfth story, where the cornice has been removed.) The facade is symmetrically disposed with a two-story smooth rusticated limestone base beneath a projecting bandcourse on console brackets, and another bandcourse above the tenth story which demarcated the shaft and upper section of the building. Four groupings of projecting metal bays each with three lights and two-over-two sash rise from the third to the eleventh stories, flanking the three-bay wide central portion of the elevation.
At the first story which is five bays wide, segmentally-arched doorways appear at the outer bays with two segmentally-arched windows flanking the central main entrance (reached by a shallow stairway). The west doorway has glazed wooden doors, that at the east is a service entrance. The windows are tripartite with transoms. Canopies and the marquee shelter the doors and windows. Above the water table to each side of the main entrance with double doors are stone bases surmounted by planters. Unadorned rectangular panels appear above the four arches to each side of the main entrance.
At the second story, which is also five bays wide, tripartite square-headed windows with two-over-two sash appear at the first and second, fourth and fifth bays. These have central scrolled keystones with festoons. At the center bay are three windows divided by shell and tassel motifs, with a leaf-covered molding above. The bays are interspersed by the console brackets which support the projecting bandcourse above.
The upper stories are of light red brick with prominent keyed limestone bands. The central three windows at each story are square-headed with two-over-two sash- The projecting metal bays have a central window and narrower side lights. These angular bays are adorned with panels, floral and urn-like elements. Air conditioner grilles have been placed in some of the panels. A balustrade and flagpole appear at the central portion of the facade beneath the third story windows.
Above the tenth story is the dentilled projecting bandcourse on scrolled console brackets. The windows in the outer bays at the twelfth story echo those at the second story. Between the three central windows at the eleventh and twelfth stories are panels with roundels and a panel also surmounts the 12th story windows. Above are festoons supported by lions' heads and roundels, with floral ornament suspended from them.
The annex, which was raised a story in 1905, when it was converted from a stable for the hotel's use, is three stories and constructed in brick with a glazed wooden storefront at the first story and metal detailing.The first story, beneath a sheltering canopy, contains a central double doorway, reached by a shallow stairway with railings, and is symmetrically flanked by paired windows which are decoratively enframed. These have transoms with metal grilles and panels beneath. Side pilasters are adorned by diminutive Indian heads. At the second story is a single projecting bay with a metal canopy, and a large central window with narrow sidelights. At the third story is a three-part window, beneath a metal cornice with brackets and modillions.
