...concoction of descriptors is strangely appropriate for the Lilly look, for the “nut house” is essentially where Lilly Pulitzer as a brand all started. Born into New York society, marrying money and lacking a livelihood, Lilly, then wife of Peter Pulitzer who was grandson of the Pulitzer-Prize-Pulitzer, had a breakdown, spent the requisite New York woman’s time in a mental institution (her friends called it Bloomingdale’s), and upon release was told that her cure would be to find a hobby, start a business—anything...
...farfetched that a man would forget his own grandson? Sure. But the gag works, because many of us also forgot Ben existed, even though he figured heavily in the sitcom's first two seasons.

Taula ’04, part of both the Umatilla and Nez Perce tribes in the Pacific northwest, spent a year living on the Umatilla Reservation; and John T.

Times Square was conceived, really, in 1895, when Oscar Hammerstein, whose grandson would write The Sound of Music, opened the Olympia Theater, a gilded concert hall and playhouse that covered an entire city block on what was then called Longacre Square. The kind of man who once composed an opera in 24 hours on a bet, Hammerstein was also the kind who sold 10,000 opening-night tickets for 6,000 seats. Disappointed ticket holders broke down the doors. Within three years, he was bankrupt. But the idea of the neighborhood as a center of entertainment spectacle lived...
