Irish Sports Section Latest: Lyricist Robert Hunter at 78. Hunter kept a low profile, but he could forge a tune, Smith! Not to everyone's taste, for sure, and the effect is probably significantly enhanced by Ripple, Mr. Frosty, and other Sundries Not to Be Named. But I thought he had a great style, form, and pacing. He's got a place in my palace of poets. Example: China Cat Sunflower (1969). Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono like a crazy-quilt stargown through a dream night wind Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana like a one-eyed Cheshire like a diamond-eye Jack A leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle to a double-e waterfall over my back Comic book colors on a violin river crying Leonardo words from out a silk trombone I rang a silent bell beneath a shower of pearls in the eagle wing palace of the Queen Chinee

I'd watch that Fame 45 (Im Just a Prisoner by Candi Staton) go around in circles and there was just something about that record that made me look close enough to discover it was recorded in a place called Muscle Shoals, Alabama. I imagine I had no choice but to watch this YouTube thing that was suggested to me via recommendation engine, cause it was a day in the life of Fame. You'd have to watch all the way through, but if you watch the video to the end you see the musicians actually punch out for the day on a time-clock by the door! This is a little bitty old thing in the style which we used to call Cinema Verite.

Before taking office, Trump told aides to think of every day as “an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals.” Mr. Trump has been playing himself instinctually as a character since the 1980s; it’s allowed him to maintain a profile even through bankruptcies and humiliations. But it’s also why, on the rare occasions he’s had to publicly attempt a role contrary to his nature — calling for healing from a script after a mass shooting, for instance — he sounds as stagey and inauthentic as an unrehearsed amateur doing a sitcom cameo. His character shorthand is “Donald Trump, Fighter Guy Who Wins.” Plop him in front of a camera with an infant orphaned in a mass murder, and he does not have it in his performer’s tool kit to do anything other than smile unnervingly and give a fat thumbs-up.

Rather than the anticipated jubilation, there was stunned silence and stiff upper-lip manning-up among mission controllers and others gathered at India’s Satish Dhawan space command center today. The mission was planned as the first to land on the Moon’s South Pole. One Indian commentator suggested the final rate of descent may have been at too great a velocity.
