The Euphony of Cellar Door

J.R.R. Tolkien, O'Donnell Lecture on English and Welsh : Most English-speaking people will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful,' especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky , and far more beautiful than beautiful . Well, then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent, and moving to the higher dimension, the words in which there is...

According to Buzzfeed: " This is an actual receipt from Nello's in New York City. The customer was Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who had no problem dropping 47k on food and drinks for himself and five other people." Personally, I couldn't afford the "large...

The Very Rich Are Different from You and Me

So wrote F. Scott Fitzgerald. To which Ernest Hemingway replied, ``yes. They have more money.'' Could they one day end up having more fingers? Toes? Brains? The economist Robert Frank wonders about that , picking up on Robert Saffo's suggestion that advances in artificial intelligence, robotics and personal genetics will be so expensive that they will lead, as Saffo put it, to the rich person ``evolving...

Living on $500,000 a Year

6 cents a word

For example, here’s one fun fact: The engine of Fitzgerald’s income (at least until he went to Hollywood) was not his novels but his short stories. He considered them his “day job,” a thing to be endured because writing them would allow him the financial wherewithal to write the novels he preferred to do. And how much did he make for these short stories? Well, in 1920, he sold...

Book Of A Lifetime: The Great Gatsby, By F Scott Fitzgerald

I was 17 years old, faintly spotty and in love with Rupert Brooke. I had just been removed from my Home Counties boarding school, slap in the middle of the A-level course. My parents had become disillusioned with the academic goals of the institution after discovering that the entire school had been awarded a day's picnic to celebrate one girl's successful application to university. Instead, I was...

F. Scott Fitzgerald Made $8,397 On Great Gatsby; His Daughter Gets $500,000 Per Year From It

There have been an increasing number of questions raised about both the length of copyright and the fact that it passes on to heirs after the original creator passes on.

Economist Greg Mankiw points out a "factoid"...
