Monster or wizard
I n the festive weeks leading up to Christmas, I was approached by a number of friends and acquaintances eager to offer best wishes and, as is customary with me, ask me to weigh in on the state of the world. They do this not because I am a retired world leader but because I am American, which after all these years still somehow qualifies me as an erudite observer of the global scene. At 70, nearly blind and cancer-burdened, I am in fact no such thing.

They came, they posed, they conquered the style of the MET Gala
IMHO, the place every year where celebrities make the most dramatic career-altering fashion statements is the Met Gala in New York. There, on the red-carpeted steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vogue’s Anna Wintour hosted and welcomed attendees to a black-tie fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The goal is not necessarily to look stunning, but to be stunning, make an artistic statement, and of course, get as much attention as possible.

Richard Wilbur The Undead Even as children they were late sleepers, Preferring their dreams, even when quick with monsters, To the world with all its breakable toys, Its compacts with the dying; From the stretched arms of withered trees They turned, fearing contagion of the mortal, And even under the plums of summer Drifted like winter moons.

By now, you should have seen (or maybe not) how wokesters followed Democratic Sen.
