But U.S. Army officials are advising tenants to notify German landlords of potential problems with on-time payments to prevent misunderstandings.

I remember seeing the Supremes on The Ed Sullivan Show — feeling, for the first time in my young life, there was a side of life I knew little about. It opened a musical and cultural door. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Brilliant doc on Netflix ‘Sunday Best - The untold story of Ed Sullivan’
Amazing, the amount of black performers he hand picked & broke to largely white, US prime time TV audiences in the 50s & 60s defying network & sponsors
Sad to read that the talented director Sacha Jenkins passed away recently

I should, however, mention that I very much connected with his piece, “The Story Part.” Not surprisingly, I wasn’t the only one who felt like an “outsider” at Columbia back then.
I’m 3 mos behind on the @newyorker.com. But I need to correct Hilton Als. Columbia was not “an all-boys school back then.” The engineering school was part of Columbia. Women engineers stayed at Carman (700 men/26 women) as Barnard wouldn’t let us use their dorms or compete on their sports teams.

I’ve started to collect more physical media. While I sometimes buy individual DVDs, once in awhile I get a used box from shopgoodwill. I keep some and put the rest in our neighborhood lending library. Here’s some of my latest haul.
