...Hirschfeld sketch increased after 1945, when Dolly gave birth to their daughter Nina. Hirschfeld began hiding her name within his portraits of famous men and women - in a Gwyneth Paltrow gown, in a Groucho jacket fold. (Good thing they hadn't named the child Hildegarde.) Eventually he placed a numeral next to his signature - e.g., "Hirschfeld 5" - to indicate how often the Ninas appeared. Forty years before Martin Handford was playing "Where's Waldo?", Spotting the Ninas was the niftiest Sunday parlor game. I recall the little thrill I felt on first hearing of the ruse, back in college...
...Iraq itself, medical experts claim that cancer rates have increased ten-fold since 1991, and a 1998 conference in Baghdad highlighted the increasing number of Iraqi babies who have been born with neurological disorders, kidney problems and missing limbs.

(Keep in mind that despite decades of similar fetus-flashing campaigns, 1.5 million American women continue to seek abortions each year.) Instead of a guilt contest, the debate is two-fold: it is first a policy debate at the state and national level over a woman’s right to choose—which is just that, her right to choose. More importantly, it is a movement to increase pre-natal, adoption and foster care awareness and services to American...
...John G. Patch ’03 got pretty hammered last weekend. Heading to sleep, he was able to take out his contacts, put his wallet on his bedside stand and successfully fold his pants over the chair by his desk. For some reason, however, Patch woke up the next morning under his bed wearing a Batman costume he’d never seen before...
