May I suggest you get a hold of the blueprints? Thing about libraries is\u2014librarians, cover your ears\u2014many of them tend to reside in historical or at least oft-remodeled buildings with easily exploited blind spots. Let the architecture guide you: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cabinetmagazine.org\/issues\/58\/manaugh.php\" target=\"_blank\">Stephen Blumberg stole an estimated twenty million dollars\u2019 worth of rare books and manuscripts from institutional archives and academic libraries around the United States<\/a>. His plan for hitting the rare books collection of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles was characteristic: researching the history of the building, Blumberg had learned that a series of disused dumbwaiters had once functioned to deliver books between floors. The dumbwaiters were no longer active, but the shafts inside the walls of the library still offered a direct connection to book stacks that were otherwise inaccessible to the public \u2026 No alarms, no cameras, just narrow, chimney-like chutes invisible to outside view through which Blumberg could shimmy his way to treasure. And shimmy he did, successfully raiding the building from within.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in things that are clearly art but that you\u2019ve probably never really thought about as art: <a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/278892\/library-of-congress-acquires-four-decades-of-courtroom-art-spanning-manson-to-madoff\/?ref=featured\" target=\"_blank\">the Library of Congress has acquired ninety-six (they couldn\u2019t just make it an even hundred?) courtroom sketches covering more than forty years of trials<\/a>, featuring such prominent malefactors as Bernie Madoff, Charles Manson, and Larry Flynt. \u201cThe Thomas V. Girardi Collection of Courtroom Illustration Drawings at the Library of Congress enhances our existing holding by increasing the number of artists represented, especially female courtroom illustrators,\u201d the curator Sara W. Duke told Hyperallergic. A press release confirmed the obvious: \u201cThe Girardi acquisition affirms the LOC as having the most comprehensive American collection of courtroom art.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Adam Shatz on Nina Simone, whose \u201chusky contralto\u201d perplexed the jazz critics of her day but captivated just about everyone else: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/articles\/2016\/03\/10\/fierce-courage-nina-simone\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eroticism and suffering lay at the heart of Simone\u2019s work from the very start: she seemed to have one foot in the deep South and another in Weimar cabaret<\/a> \u2026 Simone cut deeper than her peers: she knew how to open the wound, to make pain audible and moving. So long as she felt adored, she was full of mischievous, salty banter in her mike breaks. But if she felt slighted, she could be explosive, even violent \u2026 Simone gave expression to a taboo emotion that, in a 1968 best-seller, two black American psychiatrists would define as \u2018black rage.\u2019 Her songs were peopled with avenging black angels, most famously a woman named Peaches who, in her 1966 song \u2018Four Women,\u2019 declares that she will \u2018kill the first mother I see.\u2019 Seldom has anyone combined art and protest to such a sublime effect, in the classical sense of fusing beauty and terror.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>To read Daniel Clowes\u2019s graphic novels, you\u2019d think he\u2019s a total depressive, if not an out-an-out misanthrope, even. In fact, as Robert Ito writes, he\u2019s a family man: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/story.californiasunday.com\/daniel-clowes-patience\" target=\"_blank\">Unlike a lot of cartoonists, Clowes is a lot happier than the characters he creates<\/a>. Most of his hapless protagonists spend much of their miserable lives futilely chasing after the sort of contentment and familial joy that Clowes has found for himself in Piedmont \u2026 Clowes acknowledges the huge impact that his own childhood\u2014the divorce, the constant shuttling around\u2014has had on how he views marriage and parenting today. \u2018I always grew up wanting what I have now with my own family,\u2019 he says. \u2018A house, a wife, a child, everything very stable.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>Facebook has introduced \u201cReactions,\u201d a collection of five \u201cgraphicons\u201d that allow you to respond to content (and everything is content) in one of five ways: Like, Love, Sad, Angry, Wow, Haha. If you\u2019ve noticed that those words are, uh \u2026 syntactically nonparallel, you\u2019re not alone in being confused and a little afraid: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/2016\/02\/linguists-not-exactly-wow-facebooks-new-reactions\" target=\"_blank\">The syntax of the new Facebook Reactions makes no sense. When Facebook asks you to respond to a status with that set of six words, it\u2019s actually asking your brain to do something that\u2019s slightly complicated<\/a>: to fill in an implied sentence, or to \u2018predicate\u2019 it. Programmatic linguists call this \u2018inferencing.\u2019 The problem is, because these words are not the same category of speech, they require different predicates \u2026 If those inconsistencies bother you, you may in fact have a disorder called \u2018grammar purism.\u2019 Sufferers of GP have been known to correct mistakes on dinner menus and chew their cheeks in an effort not to correct their friend who always says \u2018I have drank way too much tonight!\u2019 GP has no cure, but some sufferers find poetry or Winston Churchill quotes soothing.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hear you\u2019re trying to knock over a library.
