...somehow look blacker and heroines fairer under that Caribbean sun. In 1897, on the eve of the U.S. intervention to free Cuba from Spain, the fairest of all heroines to North Americans was a rebel named Evangelina Cisneros-"this tenderly nurtured girl," the New York Journal mourned, "imprisoned at eighteen among the most depraved Negresses of Havana." In the flesh, Evangelina was a bloodthirsty lass who tried to kidnap a Spanish officer, but no matter. The Journal had her smuggled out of prison disguised as a sailor and exhibited her triumphantly at an open-air reception in Madison Square...
...Eighteen years ago a nine-year-old boy drowned in the pond and local residents circulated a petition asking Harvard University, owner of the property, to fill in the 30' by 50' pond. Although neighbors say that over 300 people signed the petition and turned it over to the University, no action was ever taken...

References to this century have priorities in the immediate moment, and beyond the eighteenth century the understanding are truly historical-the chosen preservations that have influenced...
...financial burden was too great to risk, or Dick Jones didn't want to bother doing all the work necessary for a double album. Or perhaps there is some reason I am missing. In any event Follies is available on a single record (Capitol SO 761) and of the eighteen songs which were recorded (four have been cut) Capital admits in fine print to having "abridged" seven of them. I guess this means that all of the lyrics are not sung, because the album has musically abridged at least twelve of the numbers. Some have survived rather well, others...
