@StephenFidler1 Available on Amazon: „Our Hearts’ Desire and other Poems”, by me with illustrations by my wife Ingrid … who we talked about at your apartment late at night back in 1982 …

@TonyBarber8 I recall introducing you to the No Name Bar, on the corner of Hudson & Jane streets. Highly salubrious. I also remember being surprised when you composed verse on the green screens amid the chaos at 1700 Broadway. But I never heard of Hudson’s Funeral Feast. I think I should.

Tony, you’re retiring. (You buried the lead. ) A lot of water under the bridge since you walked into the Reuters newsroom at 1700 Broadway 44 years ago as a trainee. Quite a career. All the best in retirement.

" Bon," (s’interroge Google) "alors golfe d'Amérique ou golfe du Mexique ? » Le changement de nom annoncé par Trump s'inscrit dans une longue tradition de mobilisation de la cartographie au service du pouvoir, rappelle @TonyBarber8. ft.com/content/68d3ba… via @ft
