I went into my local library and this book was on the display table at the front door and at first I did judge the book by its cover, and I said to myself, yeah I want to harmonize!” I am so glad I got it, I love this book!

Rexford G. Tugwell—even conservative critics of the New Deal who liked to call him "Rex the Red" couldn't deny that he was the "handsomest of the Brain Trusters."

It’s been an adventure and a joy to make this documentary about folk song collector Sidney Robertson Cowell with @RhiannonGiddens and the help of wonderful and generous researchers @AranSongs @SKaskowitz Cathy Hiebert Kerst, Jim Leary and Robert Cochrane: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Apropos of nothing, has anyone else noticed how fierce the National Archives logo is? That angry eagle's wing is at a weird angle for flying but perfect for smacking someone trying to steal its stuff.
