How I adored her performance as Mrs. Nellie Lovett in Sweeney Todd and her brilliant Rose in Gypsy in London. And Madame Armfeldt in A Little night Music.

This is the first time I've seen the NYT retract an obituary. I don't know if they are less punctilious than in the past, or if there's a failure to communicate between the Dow household and the rest of the world.

MMMDP Form Guide #18 Luis Echeverria Mexican lawyer, academic and politician affiliated with the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), who served as the 57th President of Mexico from 1970 to 1976.

I sort of like Charles. I read many of the black spider letters and think he's intelligent and well-informed. But he is a narcissist and needs a lot of coddling and handling.

I really did check my spelling.

R Robyn Griggs Ronnie Atkins This is from a team list. Then if I search for them using correct spelling, I get results like this for both: Robyn Griggs. Search No Matches Found for "Robyn Griggs" It's the same with Ronnie Atkins. "No Matches Found for Ronnie Atkins" The team with these players is the winning team currently. I was browsing them--honestly, looking to poach. But I don't see the fairness in them getting potentials who are not open to all.

I see a team has at least two players who are not in the DSCDP data base: Robyn Griggs and Ronnie Atkins. I am not sure how they can be on somebody's list if they are not available to all players.

And it was a great achievement: they avoided the paps and the British Media. It's refreshing to have a members of the family who are not in cahoots with the tabloids.

Most of mine have long since shuffled off.... People who still excite me include: 1) Angela Lansbury (what a career!) 2). Sherrill Milnes (stirring impressive baritone) 3. Richard Howard (poet: "not / Death but a fruit-stand) 4. Anne Tyler (American novelist) 5. Leontyne Price (oh, that warm voice) 6. I believe Diana Ross is still purring! 7. Imelda Staunton (Just a kid, really) 8. Joan Baez (she sang me through elementary school) 9. Stewart O'Nan (fine novelist) 10. Donna Leon (every word she says is addictive) 11. Wendell Berry (poet) 12. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter I have (mostly) avoided politics, Zelensky is swiftly climbing into the very small, modest list of political leaders

There are some other signs of decline: Her Maj has stopped wearing bras (I think her mother wore them to the full 101). She also has some dresses that are close to mumus with a loose fit. In addition to Philip, she's had a couple of close confidantes die recently. She has not ridden in ages. In one photo her green coat was very unkempt: there was nobody to smooth it down so that it looked like a bit like a drawing by a 2 year old. No matter how much she loves her Prince Paedrew, she cannot but feel some measure of regret that he got caught. And the commemorative plates have the misprint "Jubbly" on them.

Just a note that Sean has two Dick Van Dykes on his list. I cannot send him a message so I hope that this note reaches Sean.

A great point, Toast, but I suspect that in the rule-book of royalty, a King's secondary titles are not to be used. They could probably use something that has been extinct for a while. The Duke of York was Bertie's name before he became George VI. The Duke of York was Bertie's name before he became Edward VIII. But public sentiment about the necessity of having a Bertie in the family seems to be draining away quickly. Whenever Fergie goes on vacay alone, it's time to put a "suicide watch" alert on top of the teddie bears.

I want to thank everyone who worked so tirelessly for our amusement, pleasure, and edification. I know how tedious and mind-numbing administrative work can be, especially if you get somebody like me who foolishly submits Kyle Rittenhouse as Kyle Rottweiler. I am very grateful.

Another hint: This song has SOME association with Kate Winslet, Burt Lancaster, JImmy Stewart, Guy Van Duser, and Michael Shannon.

My song is a tribute to the current Jeopardy! reigning champion. But if you don't know her, you can always contemplate sunken treasures. It has been covered by diverse hands/bands.

She Bop by Cindi Lauper sang in anticipation of Prince Harry's birth?

I know. I was trying to limit my list to the more obscure "literary" types who show up in the syllabus of graduate schools. I could add a lot of mystery/thriller/romance/ authors who have much higher recognition than Ishmael Reed or Jorie Graham. Danielle Steel, Dean Koontz, Jeffrey Archer, John Grisham are all alive (I don't know how old they are).

I have a few authors I am watching: to the best of my knowledge none are ill....but they like to be secretive about their lives. In no special order: John Barth /. Thomas Pynchon. /. Charles Simic. / Robert Hass. /. William Kennedy / Henry Louis Gates. / Ann Beattie. /. Cormac McCarthy. /. Jay Wright. / Walter Abish. /. John Edgar Wideman / Frederick Barthelme / JM Coetzee Don DeLillo /. Mario Vargas Llosa. / Joyce Carol Oates. / Cynthia Ozick. /. John Irving. /. Richard Howard / Ishmael Reed / Paulo Coehlo Annie Proulx / I think the above should all qualify as famous and have Wiki pages. I'm sticking with the ones who are (I think) 70 or above. And I'm not looking at genre fiction. I agree with Bibliogryphon about the importance of Penelope Lively, Edna O'Brien, AS Byatt (and Margaret Drabble, younger but it seems regal that her sister), Alice Munro These people are unlikely to head any lists but I see them all as potential great supporting players.
