Newspaper Headlines! (I won't say clippings)

I really want to write about my students' comments on songs and what I learned about "God Is a Girl," but the only way I can get myself to share the piles of newspaper clippings is to sort them right here on this blog!

So what's in this exciting excavations project?

96 Hous wit Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike on the cover.  Inside there's a blurb on Durang's Tony0winning play:  "Life is always a little funnier and weirder with a Christopher Durang play around."  I still want to read this, but I'll put it in the "Linda" envelope I have, which goes back to when Book of Mormon was playing around here.  This 96 Hours also has something on an Octavio Solis Dust Bowl journey to salue the 75th anniversary of Grapes of Wrath.

Of course, I also have a clipping of a movie review by Mick LaSalle on Inequality for All with Robert Reich.  (This morning I bought and downloaded the book Aftershock, which this is based on.)

I'm tempted to read "When lawmakers employ lawbreakers" a review of On the Job

I had clipped out something about "Walking to School" in Walk about Town.  Maybe I should give the students the link or the web site of the series.

"A lifesaving strategy--testing iswth teens/Pilot program opens for troubled youth bent on suicide."

"Windmill firm gets permit to kill eagles.

"Domestic workers to get overtime pay."
I really do want to read "Former soldiers give testimony about massacre in Guatemala."    But I'm bravely recycling it iwth just some notes so I can find it online later:  Dos Erres...Jorge Sosa...Cesar Franco Ibanez

"Describing the path to a better way of death" is Meredith May's article on Katy Butler's Knocking on Heaven's Door:  Th ePath to a Better Way of Death."

I'll save a copy of The Guardsman for Linda.  (Maybe we can sit down for the whole evening and read what's i her envelope!)

I love the "Meat no treat to produce-loving hound" pet tales article so much that I think I'll slip it into a vegetarian cookbook.  The same with "America Wasting food."
I have Saul Landau's obituary from September 12, 2013.  I should get his documentaries.  I should also write to Greg Landau to give him my sympathy.

I clipped out Libya "Car bomb hits on anniversary of attack in 2012" because I was so horrified by how Moammar Khadafy was butchered.  I see here in this araticle that he overthrew King Idris in a bloodless coup in 1969.  Is that close to what Castro did a decade earlier with Batista?  How is it that we never successfully butchered Castro?

Tripoli...Think of how that features in "From the Halls of Montezumia to the shores of Tripoli."

Carl Nolte has a Native Son article on September 8 "Beautiful bridge deserved a great party, but we blew it."

And I'm now throwing away pages I savaed on America's Cu like the September 8th on "Smooth salng for Kiwis."  And from September 13 "Kiwis sweep day--3 wins from tropy."

I see that John Morse was recalled in Colorado because of baking a limit on guns there.

"Silicon Valley 'well' helps fight world water crisi/NY nonprofit gets one-third of funding from tech titans' sizable donations.

"Immigration status no bar to the bar."

"Spirited 'Ella' hits all of the right notes" by Robert Hurwitt.  Shoudl I look up Ella, the Musiscal?

Meghan McCain raises her foice in Raising McCain--Docu-talk show 10 PM Saturdays.

Dear Abby reader says people are now texting on bicycles as they ride.

"Stolen iPhones's GPS leads cops to suspect."

Visual arts:  'A Little Piece of Mexico:  The Poscard of Guillermo Kahlo and His Contemporaries"  Main Library's Jewett Gallery on Larkin Street through Dec. 29.

Elizabeth's Open Forum "Politics not war, solution to crisis.

Bay Bridge "Mystery of the troll grows as rumors fly?

"CIA supplies weapons to rebels, reports say"  (Surprise!)

"Domestic workers:  They do the work--now they should get right pay."

"Appeals court rules 'Like' is free speech"  (in Richmond, V.  there was a judgment that employees of a sheriff's office should nto have been fired for "liking" their sheriff's opponent on Facebook!

Well, I've been at this for more than an hour, and that was what I was asking myself for.  So I'll close with a headline from September 24:  "What can be done to keep fake reviews off websites?  Apparently, businessess are paying for glowing reviews on sites like Yelpl, Citsearch, Google and Yahoo.  NY attorney General Eric Schneiderman has announced that he has reached agreements with 19 companies to stop "churning out bogus online reviews" and pay $350,00 in fines.  The biggest headline was "Erasing digital skeletons" of the kids who are haunted by what's online.  Now they can delete.

Gotta go, gotta go.  But thre's an article about VW van production hitting the end of a very long road illustrated by people diing at Nakombi in Sao Paulo, a Jaanese restaurant syled after the VW vvan, which is known as athe Kombi in Brazil

Thaaaaaat's all folks.
I'll proof read another day.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
