Some may feel that the Saint in question is Philip Berrigan, who joined Saburo Ienaga and Ivan Illich on Dec. 6, 2002.

Others may feel that the Saint is Don Ameche, who died on Dec. 6, 1993.

Finite Jest:

"Much bing, high bing"
 
-- Wallace Stevens


Bing.com search for 'finite geometry and physical space'

The above was, like the
previous entry, suggested by
this morning's monumentally
tasteless NY Times obit page
.

The author of the
"pleasantly discursive"
remark has been called both
"King of Geometry" and
"King of Infinite Space."

He lived in Toronto.

a New York City real estate firm.
Today's Bing.com search image is
  a view of the city from Central Park.)

"We keep coming back
       and coming back/To the real...."

Sade's Margquee: two album covers and a figure

For those who prefer
 the less tasteful:

Vega's more recent album

Suzanne Vega, 'Beauty And Crime' album

NY Times obituaries Monday, July 13, 2009

Note the story on the July 11 death of boxer Arturo Gatti in Brazil, apparently possibly not [updates of July 18 and 30] at the hands of his wife, a former exotic dancer.

Connoisseurs of tasteless prose will appreciate the following:

"Vega writes from a perspective of memory and maturity... applying a musical Brazilian wax to 'Pornographer's Dream'...."

Annals of Politics and Religion

In honor of
 William York Tindall
 (yesterday's entry):


A Literary Symbol

for Boyne Day

Mary Karr was "an unfashionably bookish kid whose brain wattage was sapped by a consuming inner life others didn't seem to bear the burden of. I just seemed to have more frames per second than other kids."

Geneva drive from Wikipedia

Click for animation.


Karr is Catholic.
Geneva is not.
