@ReichlinMelnick My mother once borrowed Gone With the Wind from the public library to keep me occupied when I was home sick as a child. Read it in 3 days!

What's in a name? Trump International switch has airport $2.8M in hole

It will cost about $5.5 million to switch to President Donald J. Trump International Airport. The state budget covers less than half that cost.

Eva Marie Saint turns 102 today
North by Northwest (1959)
She’s the oldest living Oscar winner and one of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Her scene with Cary Grant is still among the hottest ever filmed; every look, pause, and line lands. This is how it’s done

I've been reading the NY Times for decades, and this is one of the best pieces they have ever done. Magnificent.

“Washington was beloved by many for giving away power he could have kept. Trump is reviled by many for snatching power he isn’t entitled to,” writes our columnist Maureen Dowd. “One famously wouldn’t tell a lie. The other famously can’t stop telling lies.” https://t.co/9dIN6gQnEY

@NancyAFrench Can't tell you how many times I've passed this statue on my way to City Center. This evening, I stopped to take a good look, inspired by "Ghosted." Thanks so much!

@NancyAFrench Greetings from 6th & 55th!

"As Washington retreats into parochialism, narrowness, and hate, and falls to grappling and pummeling each other senseless on the ground, New York, a city of immigrants, leaps and bounds over it...the truecapital of Jefferson’s 'Empire of Liberty.'"

@greggnunziata Recently stopped at a Nathan's cart in Manhattan & the guy inside didn't know what I meant when I asked for a frank!

A herring is a fish.

When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.

It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

It's already glaringly obvious that if you want to feel the magnitude of what happened on July 4th 1776, you'll ignore the grotesque circus orchestrated by Trump and head instead for @nypl for a dramatic and moving (free!) exhibition including a copy of the D in Jefferson's hand
