05-Jan-13Luxury Rental.
04-Jan-13We had spent enough time on an inflatable mattress on Thom Collins’ floor, and it was time to head for the house we had rented in Miami Beach – a $2700 per week rental house we would be sharing with eight friends. Again, this place surpassed expectations. It was a giant house – there were […]
Miami Beach.
04-Jan-13Miami Beach is technically a separate city from Miami, and in certain respects – amazingly – it is its equal or even superior in urban vitality. It occupies a broad barrier island in Biscayne Bay, as long and perhaps five or six times wider than the Rockaway Peninsula of New York. The area was opened […]
“Life Imitating Borges.”
03-Jan-13That’s how Steve Boykewich described the first chapter of Ingrid Rowland’s book about Athanasius Kircher and Baroque Rome: That strange, bitter Jesuit, Melchior Inchofer, who as censor of Kircher’s Coptic Forerunner had expressed such enthusiasm for the work, seems to have soured on his colleague’s enterprise some years later.

Palmettos Black and White.
03-Jan-13The Everglades without color.
Farming and Classics.
01-Jan-13There exists a memoir entitled Of Farming and Classics, which to judge from the title seemed like something I might find relevant. I wrote a review of it for the University Bookman.
Uruguay’s President, Who Lives on Less Money Than I Do.
05-Jan-13buy Ivermectin 6 mg What a fabulous profile. We have a city called Cincinnati, and Uruguay has an actual Cincinnatus. This is what Jefferson hoped for but neither was nor could help to create. It is not surprising that suffering – fourteen years in jail, more than ten in solitary confinement – helped to produce this. Some kind of […]
