The Return of Krankheit and Dubious

Filed under: General — m759 @ 2:39 am

In memory of Ramsey Lewis, famed for his recording
of "The In Crowd" —

An old vaudeville routine, slightly adapted :

— Are you a doctor?
— I'm a doctor.
— I'm dubious.
— I'm glad to know you, Miss Dubious.

"The In Crowd" was a leitmotif in the 2015 film "Irrational Man."

Joaquin Phoenix as Dr. Krankheit,

Posthumous Man

Filed under: General — m759 @ 3:45 pm

The above book, a tribute by admirers of the late Michael Weinstein
(not, as a campus obituary states, by Weinstein himself),
was reportedly published by Routledge on December 19, 2014.

This journal on that date had a post on an early Greek philosopher who
supposedly was killed because he discovered irrational numbers.
