I worked at BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) for more than 30 years -- a very professional, nonpolitical, and important statistical agency ( www.BEA.Gov ). They are the next to get attacked and politicized if GDP estimates are less than rosey.

I am biased by being a jazz-playing clarinetist, but I have said for many years (with a FEW people *sort of* agreeing) that American pop music peaked in 1937 with Benny Goodman's Down Home Camp Meeting. Fletcher Henderson was SUCH a genius composer and arranger!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKwo...

When two of my sons returned from summer camp with spreading poison oak, the recommended treatment was Aveeno Bath, which I heard as "a vino bath," and I started mentally calculating the number of bottles of wine it would take to fill a bathtub.

I believe the Epstein files WILL eventually come out, but heavily redacted (i.e. "censored") so Trump's name will not appear in any incriminating way, nor will the names of his current lapdogs. They will justify this by saying it just eliminates "phony made-up stuff." Probably working on it now.

In grad school *LONG* ago I met (not at the same time) two Nobel prize economists: Milton Friedman and Paul Samuelson. I met a third, Joseph Stiglitz , when I worked as a professional economist. All were nice, friendly, helpful, and kind. But Dr. Friedman was downright ebullient.
