...After moving to Sydney in 1971, Morley, too, shrank from view, moving away from commercial portraits toward home interiors for magazines; from faces to people-less landscapes. Morley has called the Keeler shot an albatross, and in the random pictures Annear has artfully assembled in the final room?an Indian child glimpsed through a bootmaker's doorway, a whirling carousel backlit by the sun, a garden shed that appears like Doctor Who's time machine in a misty Paris garden?Morley seeks to transcend the defining image, a kind of freedom this exhibition finally grants...
...staging ground, the researchers chose nearby Lucas County, a largely urban county in Ohio that contains Toledo. Using school records, they assembled a finely calibrated random sample of 1,316 boys and girls drawn from the seventh, ninth and 11th grades. Finding their subjects was one thing; getting the kids to talk openly was another. A certain amount of tact would be essential. "It's sort of creepy to be talking to a woman interviewer about your sex life," admits Giordano, who is 58. Each interview was started by one of Giordano's staff, who after a few minutes would...

OHinNY tries to capture authentic speech, diction and syntax, making it a fun, living record of how people talk. Imagine if OHinNY existed in 1906... The blog is an interesting contribution to an archive of what life is like today, as well as a re-creation...
...undergraduate Statistics degree from Harvard.During one of Vaupel’s first meetings with Mosteller, the professor kept spinning a coin and recording whether it came up heads or tails, according to Vaupel.When Vaupel finally asked Mosteller why, “he gently explained that it was more random to spin a coin than to flip a coin, because a coin spun on a desk would spin many more times than a flipped coin would turn over,” Vaupel said. Mosteller further explained that it was a penny made in 1942, and thus contained alloys other than copper...
