• Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., author of Slaughterhouse-Five, received a letter from an Indiana high-school student who boiled down the message of Mr. Vonnegut’s books to this maxim: “Love may fail, but courtesy will prevail.” Mr. Vonnegut was pleased with the maxim and wrote in the preface of his novel Jailbird, “I am now in the abashed condition … of realizing that I needn’t have bothered to write several books. A seven-word telegram would have done the job. Seriously.”
• Perhaps the most shocking letter that Judy Blume, an often-censored and often-challenged author of books for young people, ever received came from a nine-year-old who criticized her for writing about Jewish angels in Starring Sally J. Friedman as Herself. The letter was addressed to Jewdy Blume.
• The first fan letter that J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, received came from Francesca Gray. The letter began, “Dear Sir ….” Since then, Francesca and Ms. Rowling have met, and Francesca has realized her mistake.
Libraries
• The ancient city of Alexandria had an excellent and important library composed of papyrus scrolls. Whenever ships entered the harbor, they were searched for books that could be copied and added to the library. King Ptolemy I even gave the city of Athens 15 talents in gold — a HUGE sum of money — as a deposit so he could borrow the city’s collection of plays. The deal was that the gold would be returned after the Alexandrian librarians had copied the manuscripts and safely returned them. However, King Ptolemy I decided to keep the original manuscripts and gave the city of Athens the copies, thus forfeiting the 15 talents in gold.
• Malcolm Glenn Wyer was a librarian who was interested in expanding his library’s holdings in the field of aeronautics. Therefore, in 1940, he asked Maggs Brothers, a London book-dealing firm, to ship a collection of aeronautical books to the Denver [Colorado] Public Library, where they could be inspected, and if found suitable, purchased. Maggs Brothers agreed and sent the requested books. Later, Mr. Wyer received a letter from Maggs Brothers, saying that the day after the books had been sent, the warehouse where they had been stored was destroyed by Nazi bombs.
• As a child, Newbery Medal-winning children’s book author Lois Lowry often visited the library twice in one day, returning the books she had checked out, then read earlier that day. When the librarian told her that she shouldn’t borrow, then return books the same day, young Lois started taking out thicker books.
Media
• In the late 1980s, two Village Voice writers had a disagreement. Nat Hentoff had written something about abortion that upset Allen Barra, and Mr. Barra criticized Mr. Hentoff in a letter to the editor that used the word “fascist” frequently. Mr. Barra was so angry at Mr. Hentoff that he didn’t even ask the jazz enthusiast if he had heard any good jazz albums recently. Not long after, Mr. Barra received a reply from Mr. Hentoff in his Village Voice mail slot. Mr. Hentoff had placed there a very good jazz album by Pee Wee Russell. In addition, he left a note: “Hey, give me a break. You may need it yourself some day. P.S. Listen to this. It might clear your head out.” Mr. Barra, with tongue in cheek (and in check), wrote a couple of decades later about Mr. Hentoff, only without the use of the asterisk, “What an *sshole. Instead of jumping into the argument with pettiness and personal acrimony, he sought to create a dialogue with reason, tolerance, and jazz. What can you do with a guy like that?” Mr. Hentoff, of course, is not afraid to express his opinions, even when many or most people disagree with them. And he does not feel obligated to toe a knee-jerk liberal line. In fact, he once told a Village Voice editor, “When I want your opinion, I’ll ask Tom Hayden for it.”
Get onboard for this hit single by The O'Jays that reached number one on both the R&B Singles and the Billboard Hot 100, in February and March 1973, and was their first and only number-one record on the US pop chart. What is the title of this song?
Zills, also zils or finger cymbals, are small metallic cymbals used in belly dancing and similar performances. In western music, several pairs of zills can be set in a frame to make what instrument?
Zills, also zils or finger cymbals (from Turkish zil, "cymbals"), are small metallic cymbals used in belly dancing and similar performances. They are called sajat in Arabic. They are similar to Tibetan tingsha bells. In western music, several pairs of zills can be set in a frame to make a tambourine.

Hosted by Tom Bergeron, the table read will be directed by Victor Nelli.
Fox Rupert News has settled a lawsuit filed by the family of Seth Rich, the slain Democratic National Committee staffer who became the center of right-wing conspiracies about hacked emails.
Joel and Mary Rich filed the suit over a May 2017 story that claimed their son had leaked thousands of DNC emails to Wikileaks before his death. Fox News later retracted the story, saying it was “not initially subjected to [a] high degree of editorial scrutiny.”
In a statement, Joel and Mary Rich said they were pleased by the settlement, and said they hoped the media would exercise greater caution in the future.
“The settlement with Fox News closes another chapter in our efforts to mourn the murder of our beloved Seth, whom we miss every single day,” they said. “It allows us to move on from the litigation we initiated in response to Fox News’ May 2017 article and televised statements concerning Seth’s murder. We are pleased with the settlement of this matter and sincerely hope that the media will take genuine caution in the future.”
The retraction was believed to be one of the first made of a Fox Rupert News story.
From host of "The Daily Show" to host of the 63rd Grammy Awards: Trevor Noah has officially been tapped to emcee music's biggest night.
Hours before the 2021 Grammy nominees are set to be unveiled, the Recording Academy revealed Tuesday morning that Noah will helm next year's awards ceremony for the first time.
Noah's "Son of Patricia" scored a Grammy nomination last year for comedy album, but the award ended up going to Dave Chappelle's "Sticks & Stones." "The Daily Show" has been nominated for multiple Emmy Awards under Noah's tenure.
Next year's Grammys will air Jan. 31 on CBS at 5 p.m. Pacific. The nominations ceremony will be available to stream live today at 9 a.m. Pacific on the Grammys website.
NBC is bringing back gameshow College Bowl with NFL legend Peyton Manning hosting.
The Colts star will front the series, which was handed a ten-episode order by the network.
Steve Mosko’s Village Roadshow and Universal Television Alternative Studio will produce in association with Mark Itkin’s Tough Lamb Media. The Titan Games exec producer David Friedman will be showrunner.
The series, which originally aired on radio stations in 1953 before moving to CBS between 1959 and 1963 and NBC between 1963 and 1970, featured two four-member teams representing various colleges competing in a series of question rounds.
Participating teams will be selected from schools of all sizes with the individuals receiving a scholarship for participating. The winning team members will have a chance to take home even bigger scholarships, as well as bragging rights.
Two of Charles Darwin’s notebooks have been declared stolen, almost 20 years after they were first reported missing from Cambridge University Library.
Cambridgeshire Police are now investigating the suspected theft of the small red-leather-bound manuscripts, one of which contains the naturalist’s famous Tree of Life drawing on the relationship between species.
The notebooks, which are worth millions of pounds, were last seen in November 2000, when they were taken to a temporary studio in the library’s grounds to be photographed.
Two months later, a routine check found they were missing. However, librarians at the time assumed they had just been misplaced in the library, whose shelves run to a total of 210 km, roughly the distance between Cambridge and Southampton.
Dr Jessica Gardner, who has been the director of library services since 2017, now believes otherwise, telling BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that these notebooks have probably been stolen.”
Dave Chappelle had made it clear that he did not approve of ViacomCBS licensing his Comedy Central series, Chappelle’s Show, without paying him a dime. The comedian spoke about it during his recent Saturday Night Live monologue, and now he has done something about it.
In a video, titled Unforgiven, which was posted on Instagram this morning, Chappelle says that he had asked Netflix, where he has a deal for standup specials, to take Chappelle’s Show, which the streamer had licensed on a non-exclusive basis, off the service.
Netflix has honored Chappelle’s request, and removed the show overnight last night, a rep for the streamer confirmed to Deadline. The show began streaming on Netflix in the U.S. on Nov. 1. Chappelle’s Show, owned by ViacomCBS, is still available on the company’s Comedy Central and CBS All Access outlets and was also recently licensed by HBO Max. Companies that license a program pay the seller who, in turn, has to compensate the creatives on the show.
“People think I made a lot of money from Chappelle’s Show,” Chappelle says in the video, filmed during a recent standup set, in which he reminisces about his comedy career. “When I left that show I never got paid. They (ViacomCBS) didn’t have to pay me because I signed the contract. But is that right? I found out that these people were streaming my work and they never had to ask me or they never have to tell me. Perfectly legal ‘cause I signed the contract. But is that right? I didn’t think so either. That’s why I like working for Netflix. I like working for Netflix because when all those bad things happened to me, that company didn’t even exist. And when I found out they were streaming Chappelle’s Show, I was furious. How could they not– how could they not know? So you know what I did? I called them and I told them that this makes me feel bad. And you want to know what they did? They agreed that they would take it off their platform just so I could feel better. That’s why I f*ck with Netflix. Because they paid me my money, they do what they say they’re going to do, and they went above and beyond what you could expect from a businessman. They did something just because they thought that I might think that they were wrong. And I do — I think that if you are f*cking streaming that show you’re fencing stolen goods.”
Chappelle repeated his appeal to fans, which he also made on SNL earlier this month. “So I’m not going to the agents, I’m coming to my real boss — I’m coming to you. I’m begging you — if you ever liked me, if you ever think there was anything worthwhile about me, I’m begging you, please don’t watch that show. I’m not asking you to boycott any network — boycott me. Boycott Chappelle’s Show. Do not watch it unless they pay me.”
Amazon is hiring detectives from the notorious Pinkerton agency to spy on warehouse workers and monitor them for labor unionization efforts, according to a Monday Motherboard report.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to the outlet that Amazon has indeed recruited operatives from Pinkerton, the spy agency that has a centuries-long history of upending worker union activities, among other services.
Per Motherboard, Pinkerton spies were "inserted" into a warehouse in Wroclaw, Poland, in 2019 to look into an allegation that job candidates were being coached for job interviews.
Amazon spokesperson Lisa Levandowski told Business Insider that the firm partners with Pinkerton to "secure high-value shipments in transit," not to gather intelligence on warehouse workers, and that all activities are "fully in line with local laws."
Motherboard obtained internal emails written by members of Amazon's Global Security Operations Center in 2019. The leaked documents reportedly show Amazon analysts tracking union organizing activity of workers in Europe, with members having the ability to stay updated on labor organizing efforts conducted at warehouses, right down to the date, time, location, and the number of workers involved.
Four Native American tribes on Louisiana’s Gulf Coast requested United Nations assistance this year to force action by the U.S. government on invading salt. Their formal complaint cited “climate-forced displacement’’ and said saltwater had poisoned their land, their crops and their medicinal plants.
“That strips us of not only being able to generate an income to provide for ourselves, it also strips us of our ability to feed ourselves healthy,” Shirell Parfait-Dardar, chief of the Grand Caillou/Dulac Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw, said in an interview.
The tribes’ plight offers an extreme example of a lesser-known but fast-growing impact in the climate crisis: saltwater intrusion.
The landward movement of seawater threatens drinking water supplies, coastal farming and coastal ecosystems. Rising seas, more frequent storms, higher tides, drought and the pressure of pumping for drinking water are combining to accelerate the salt invasion.
New scientific research along the East Coast and in California shows measurable and sometimes startling change, much of it from saltwater’s unseen advance beneath the surface. The threat is widespread; roughly 40% of Americans live in coastal counties, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
