...almost see the seven angels. It's 85 miles from Great Falls to Helena, with a lot of curves (it'd help if they had signs saying CURVE AHEAD, SLOW TO 90), and you cover it in a 57-minute blur with neither the doors falling off nor an officer of the law making an appearance...
...self portraits from 1896 and 1897. In the earlier of these paintings, we see a young man in three-quarter profile looking out at us from beneath the shadow of his dark, unkempt, hair.

...wish I could really remember the time in 1950 when my dad took me to Ebbetts Field to see Jackie Robinson play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. But I was only three years old, and the day is a blur. No matter, my dad explained to me many years later, he wanted me to be in the presence of history. The hopes and fears of millions of African Americans were inextricably connected with every clutch hit, every stolen base, every acrobatic catch in Robinson's career. Not just Robinson but an entire race was coming to the plate--and he knew...
