1953  Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me…
Midland school, 15 years old, we had an English teacher, feared, respected
named Sniffer by boys.
Vic Bryant did not sniff back snot or tears
He sniffed our complete lack of sophistications
2 seconds, many times a class.
I did make him cry.
In the hay barn, on the bales, 15 classmates, and Sniff  
With my faux Mark Anthony I come to bury Caesar…

Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

+: the electoral college is a holdover from tweaking
So slave states were placated
∴ Jefferson elected
I heard it on our KPFA!

People using helpful words are everywhere.
Beware directed-interpretations, short-circuits, as usual.
For pictures, my favorites are Szarkowski and Schjeldahl.
I am not worthy.
And here is a kind of pointing I love.
I won’t do it.
My Flickr friend John Reiff Williams does it:
Giving back, is my read on the expression of this blowing a kiss to the audience. There is a sense of gratitude here Bill (for me) that this act was not all about the surface, but an existential question about the nature of life itself and that as this lovely woman walks off the stage she remains a whole person no more emotional untraumatized as when she walked in. There was an unspoken sense of understanding being expressed. And for everyone that views this image there will be a different read ( i hope) hence the nature of art. Thank you, John

Elie Wiesel,
Always remember that there is one sin we must never commit and it is to humiliate another person or to allow another person to be humiliated in our presence without protesting.
