...evil side, I see Franz Stangl. Stangl was an ordinary Viennese policeman, a church-goer and family man, who, at the time of the Anschluss in 1938, was recruited by the Nazis to work as a "security" officer at a mental institution. He stepped onto the slippery slope when he began to organize humane little euthanasias for the very, very worst, most damaged, vegetable-like, no-quality-of-life-at-all mental cases (turnips, potatoes, a blessing, really, you understand, that they should be put out of their misery).

Though the idea is innovative, Welty simply seems to be showing us yet another way to appreciate the diversity of supplies from Staples...
...This is the largest collection of the Roulin family portraits ever seen together - 17 in total, including seven different versions of 'The Postman Joseph Roulin.' Granted, the exhibit was conceived in part because the Detroit Institute of Arts wanted to show off one newly acquired version, but the museum-goer gets a little lost in the mass of paintings of this family...
