Cosmologist Tom Abel reveals some incredible facts in his <i>7th Avenue Project</i> interview with Robert Pollie about the universe and you. Considering the age of the universe is 13.8 billion years old:</div>

In "What's My Line?" celebrities try to guess a guest's occupation through a series of yes or no questions.<br />
<br />
I love the gentle jokes. I love the sponsorship. Such politeness in voice and dress.<br />
<br />
"What's My Line?" ran for 17 years from 1950 to 1967 and for good reason is still entertaining today. It recalls an era when people would dress up to take an aeroplane. What a time! When great TV involved a few celebrities playing a simple parlor game. How did they figure out the magic formula so early on?<br />

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is playing tonight at the Majestic along with Tunde Olaniran. I'm pumped. Two of my favorite bands, two high energy performances. I still owe Tunde full coverage in a separate post.<br />

This one is especially good. Matthew Klam reads "The Point" by Charles D'Ambrosio. Involving a precocious child, absent parents, a glamorous summer and twisted backstories in an otherwise picture-perfect seaside resort town. Exactly my thoughts as well. Take a listen.<br />

Flâneurs éclairés March 19, 1965<br />
<br />
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr marches the 50 miles from Selma to Montgomery with his wife Coretta and supporters. This was the third attempt--the marchers were attacked by state and local police with clubs and tear gas previously on March 7, 1965, "Bloody Sunday," and did not complete an attempt March 9th to comply with a court injunction. The march was finally successful with the protection of 2000 US Army soldiers.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387193927701756237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255192808508771384.post-64885243889236069582012-08-11T13:58:00.003-04:002013-12-14T14:30:27.612-05:00MODS PARISIENS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
