  1. What a book: edited by Matt Cheney, published by the excellent people at Third Man (check their list, it's strong), foreword by Kelly. Carol wrote weird great stories for 50 years —— you never know what's coming next. Any day a new Emshwiller book comes out is a celebration so thanks all for this.

  2. You almost never see/hear/read a person-on-the-street quote in which that person is saying "Yeah, immigrants are great."

  6. We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
