This morning's print edition of The New York Times 
on the American Folk Art Museum:

"The museum’s executive director, Anne-Imelda Radice,
six months into the job, says her strategy is not to compete
with the Mets and MoMAs of the world, but to make
the institution a niche destination with a clear specialty.

'In a way, you become the mother ship of that particular
subject,' she said. 'We can be the leader. We’re the place
you check out first.' "

Presumably her lapel button, too small to read, does not say "6."

"From the age that is past to the age that is waiting before . . . ."

"We must hail an ambulance." — Rolls Royce owner
to Society wannabe in West Palm Beach, 1969.

From the Apple TV+ series "Palm Royale," Season 1 Episode1 . . .

On the right:  Kristen Wiig, executive producer, plays Maxine (not Maxxxine).

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone has adopted the Hebrew name Esther.

I personally feel that a more deserving candidate for such a flattering name change would be Piper Laurie (nee Rosetta Jacobs).
