Oblivion
"Born of blood and tribulation"
— Gangs of New York
"Oblivion is not to be hired: The greater part must be content
to be as though they had not been, to be found in the Register
of God, not in the record of man."
— Sir Thomas Browne
The part of the above quotation preceding the first comma may be
found, among other places, in a New York Times piece published
online on August 7, 2012. See also this journal on that date.

Secretary
Margalit Fox in The New York Times this evening—
Judith Daniels, the founding editor in chief of Savvy ,
the first glossy magazine aimed at executive women,
died on Sunday at her home in Union, Me. She was 74….
“Savvy will not tell you how to be a good secretary,”
one of its early promotional fliers read. “Savvy will tell you
how to hire a good secretary— and how to fire.”
From the date of Daniels' death: The Crossword Omen.
See, too, Vogue in this journal and Ontology.
