This journal a year ago yesterday—

Others are successful through sheer force.”

"Page 185: 'Whatever else we are, we are also mad.' "
Related material— last night's Outside the Box and, from Oct. 22 last year—
"Some designs work subtly.
Others are successful through sheer force."

Follow the Ring
From Penelope Green’s New York Times story on Wednesday night’s Cooper-Hewitt design awards gala (links added)—
“Then Mr. Wurman went into full curmudgeon mode, fiddling with the two mikes on the podium and questioning the format of the night.
‘We should have talked to each other longer,’ he said. ‘This is the least interesting part.’
When he was done, Gloria Nagy, his wife, recalled how he had critiqued Mrs. Obama’s speech during the awards luncheon in July. (The Huffington Post reported Mrs. Obama as saying Mr. Wurman was ‘quite dashing and sassy.’) Ms. Nagy said Mrs. Obama had teased her by offering condolences and asking how she put up with her husband. In answer, Ms. Nagy said, she flashed what she called her Hazardous Duty Prize, a blindingly huge diamond ring.
Some designs work subtly. Others are successful through sheer force.”

Design Awards Gala
"The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum
held its design awards gala at Pier 60
in Manhattan on Wednesday night…."
Click on "gala" above for a New York Times story.
Click on "Wednesday" above for a Log24 post.
A link from the latter may be viewed,
in retrospect, as honoring the late
Sylvia Kristel of the Netherlands,
who reportedly died Wednesday.
The link is to an image of a webpage
at the site Polen voor Nederlanders,
i.e., Poland for Netherlanders.
The Log24 post was titled Café Society.
