So I asked her tartly, after a wink in Slazinger’s direction, what sort of picture might please her more.
She replied that she wasn’t on Earth to be pleased but to be instructed. “I need information the way I need vitamins and minerals,” she said. “Judging from your pictures, you hate facts like poison.”
It’s Jackson Pollock’s birthday. Here’s a bit of Circe Berman being a total...

Oregon's My Home

“I live in Oregon, Oregon’s my home … I love the trees, the hills, the places I have roamed … I long to be there, I long to be there with my own kind!”
