...years since his suicide on July 2, 1961, Ernest Hemingway has had more books come out under his name than he managed to turn out during the last two decades of his life. Over that latter span, he published only Across the River and Into the Trees (1950) and The Old Man and the Sea (1952). Thanks to the piles of manuscripts, in varying stages of completion, that he left behind for his estate to ponder, four new Hemingways appeared after his death: A Moveable Feast (1964), Islands in the Stream (1970), The Dangerous Summer (1985) and The Garden...

And if out walking for a while with a friend, Gertrude would say, "We must be getting back to Alice. If I am away from her long, I get low in my mind." Discussing homosexuality, Stein once told Hemingway that men were disgusted after sex together but "in women...
Indeed, Harvard has a history of deans of the College who implement sweeping changes early in their terms. Fox restructured the housing system, ending upperclass housing in the Yard, during his first semester as dean. And Ernest R. May--who served as Dean of the College for just two years--had to deal with the tensions of the 1969 University Hall takeover from his first...
