Wisdom in SpaceIt seems to me the book has not just aesthetic values -- the charming little clothy box of the thing, the smell of the glue, even the print, which has its own beauty. But there's something about the sensation of ink on paper that is in some sense a thing, a phenomenon rather than an epiphenomenon.

jackhutton 🇺🇸[The New Yorker Archive]: A Nation of Eyewitnesses to J.F.K.’s Assassination How it feels—and what it means—to watch a President slain on TV. By John Updike November 29, 1963“None of our country’s four slain Presidents were victims of any distinct idea of opposition or hope of gain; they were sacrificed, rather, to the blind tides of criminality and insanity that make civilization precarious.
