ALSO: With the sad news of Michael Jackson’s death, a few hours after Farrah Fawcett’s, the world loses its biggest pop icon ever.

Jun. 24th Suddenly, it was 1961 again

TAKEAWAY: The world wide web is famous for providing a huge basket of surprises at every click and scroll. So, what a wonderful surprise it was for me to find a website that offers a vast collection of Cuban films,  including one in which I participated as a child actor.  Forty-eight years later I get to see it.

Jun. 16th From the Daily Me to the Daily Perfect

TAKEAWAY: Can anyone create the perfect newspaper? It has been tried for years, usually under the project title: the newspaper of the future. Now, a website goes for the ultimate customized newspaper, yes, yours. Give it a try. To me, the “daily perfect” is more than a customized version of what interests me. Indeed, daily perfect to me is a combination of serendipitous encounters with depth and analysis of what I already know.
