People don’t appreciate what a celebrity GKC was a century ago. He wasn’t a niche writer for nerdy Catholics.
In 1910 Theodore Roosevelt visited London after his African Expedition, and was given the choice of whom he'd like to have next to him a dinner party. "Gilbert Chesterton!" was the answer. After the event he is reported to have said "What a supreme genius Chesterton is! I never met a man who could talk so brilliantly and interestingly."
Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Theodore's eldest child), just like J.R.R. Tolkien, could also recite Chesterton's epic poem Lepanto by heart, all nine stanzas and 150 lines (just reading it aloud takes 8-10 minutes).

RIP, Gary Fisketjon. No editor in my lifetime—not even Gordon Lish—had a greater impact on American letters. He kept Cormac McCarthy’s novels in print before Cormac was a household name, and published The Border Trilogy at Knopf. Also: Richard Ford, Tobias Wolff, Donna Tartt, Richard Russo, Kent Haruf, and so many others.

"Bond is not a hero, nor is he depicted as being very likable or admirable. He is a Secret Service Agent. He’s not a bad man, but he is ruthless and self-indulgent. He enjoys the fight - he also enjoys the prizes. In fiction people used to have blood in their veins. Nowadays they have pond water. My books are just out of step. But then so are all the people who read them".
~ Ian Fleming (1908-1964)

Governor Bob Ferguson was caught on leaked audio lashing out at Microsoft for daring to tell the truth about how bad the state's business climate has become. Rather than own up to his party's failures on taxes and spending, Bob demands absolute loyalty.

The finale of the brilliant historical sitcom Blackadder left many of us in tears. It remains just as powerful today, and so it should. Lest we forget.

Ten times prettier and sexier than any movie star. As good as a woman can get. No one comes close.
