...Padan Aram--A mysterious poetry/literary magazine that appears once every few months, then goes away again. Uneven quality, and it's only in its third year of operation. Lots of weird poetry...
...DIED. Aram Khachaturian, 74, prolific Soviet composer whose works pulse with the rhythms of his ancestral Armenia; after a long illness; in Moscow. A patriot who celebrated the "wrath of the Soviet people waging a struggle for humanity" (Second Symphony, 1943) and a Roman slave insurrection (the ballet Spartacus, 1953), Khachaturian won numerous Soviet prizes, returning one 50,000-ruble Stalin award during the war and asking that a tank be built with the money.

Alright, so being travel editor for a poetry magazine doesn't sound like the most exciting thing in the world, but you'd be surprised who I got to meet...
...House drowning in a big vat of Polynesian Meatless Balls? Ever hear of Milton Berle? Yep, I stole them all from Pete and Tommy over at the Indy. Now I'm giving credit where credit is due. You know what they say over at the Travel Desk at Padan Aram--Harvard may be Childhood's End, but Wit's End is truly Wit's End. That's what they say over at the Travel Desk at Padan Aram...
