Life Along the Bell Curve
A small town guy leaves the big city as a fired coach. He seeks the front porch of a mountain cabin across from a stream, to sit, smoke, drink whiskey and feel sorry for himself in solitude. He fishes once and the city follows. Dellabole Blue is too busy to enjoy the food and music mentioned.
The Cure of Childhood Leukemia
Fifty years ago, childhood leukemia was always fatal. Though the number of new cases has remained largely unchanged, what has changed is the outcome. In the United States, instead of 2,140 deaths of children with leukemia under the age of fifteen in 1961, there were 610 deaths in 1991, and the figures are improving every year.

Freireich, Emil Frei, C. Gordon Zubrod, Joe Burchenal, George Hitchings, Gertrude Elion, Howard Skipper, Jim Holland, and Donald Pinkel.

The Brummer Galleries, Paris and New York
This is the first thorough investigation of the Brummer brothers’ remarkable career as dealers in antiques, curiosities and modernism in Paris and New York over six decades (1906-1964). A dozen specialists aggregate their expertise to explore extant dealer records and museum archives, parse the wide-ranging Brummer stock, and assess how objects were sourced, marketed, labelled, restored, and displayed. The research provides insights into emerging collecting fields as they crystallised, at the crossroads between market and museum. It questions the trope of the tastemaker; the translocation of material culture, and the dealers’ prolific relationships with illustrious collectors, curators, scholars, artists, and fellow dealers.
