Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

The Prince Hall Masonic Lodge bought a parcel in Arlington, MA, that was used as a cemetery. It fell into disuse and was forgotten until the 1980's. It has now been restored and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.

Counterpoint: Bostonians famously love that dirty water.
Americans don’t want dirty water. They don't want polluters to run roughshod over their environment. That’s why we have federal laws to protect our water—but Trump and Zeldin are turning the Clean Water Act into a polluter's paradise. Clean water is a right, not an inconvenience.

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"
