I was sitting in an Austin Starbucks last weekend, absorbed in the recently published "New Deal Art: Culture and Crisis in the Great Depression" by John P. Murphy.
"Hello." A smiling man was standing by my table. "I'm the author of the book you're reading."
What a delightful coincidence! We sat together and chatted for a while about the book, the thirties, and the exhibition of American modernist art at the UT Blanton Museum where he was going to be giving a talk.
Even though I was already planning to post a few thoughts on the book, the chance meeting has provided me with additional impetus.

"US, Israel, & The Palestinians"
"Palestine was not seen as a particularly significant issue by decision makers in Washington before the US became a global power during the 1940s."
Since then, within the US-Israeli relationship, "different dynamics prevail at different times for differing reasons."

On the night of July 3, 1901, a small band of outlaws stopped the Great Northern Coast Flyer near Wagner, Montana, and walked off with $40,000 in untraceable government bank notes. What followed — Pinkerton manhunts, arrests in four states, and a string of violent ends — was the final act of the Wild Bunch, America's most celebrated outlaw gang. Here's the real story.

“A blue-tinted basin is more appropriate to a resort or theme park,” Birnbaum said in a statement.
…The foundation also cited #Trump’s other Washington construction projects, including his decision to tear down the White House’s #EastWing to build his #planned ballroom without first seeking authorization from #Congress or obtaining approval from federal review panels.

The foundation also wrote that the Commission of Fine Arts, a federal agency that advises on design projects related to the capital, has been involved with past changes to the #ReflectingPool but did not review the new #Trump project.
Charles A. Birnbaum, who heads the foundation, noted that the neutral colors originally used for the pool’s basin were intended to convey greater #depth & #reflection, which is now threatened by Trump’s changes.

They started with 49 students, borrowed classrooms, and $5 in the bank. Skeptics said an “Indian college” was a bad idea. They were wrong. Salish Kootenai College rose from a Ronan schoolhouse to launch an actual satellite into orbit — and graduated more Native students than all of Montana’s colleges combined over 125 years. This is how they did it.
