Jo-Anne M. Watts: Sometimes a Cigar is Just a Cigar

May 16, 2011 by PBQ

Frank and I were running a little short on money so we had to cancel our trip to Italy. Instead, we decided to spend a few days in NYC, not exactly an exotic place to go considering Frank is from Brooklyn, and I’m a transplanted New Yorker who worked for years in Manhattan until I […]

Vicki Weissman: Harry Potter — The Renaissance of Reading?

May 16, 2011 by PBQ

You can’t, as they say, argue with success, and there’s no doubt that J. K. Rowling’s success has been phenomenal. She is now a very rich woman and that’s before she has finished the series. Not only has her boy hero made her rich, he has also given her the chance to tell the BBC […]

Steve Fellner: Inspiration

May 16, 2011 by PBQ

It’s the scene that attempts to show Pollock’s discovery of his Action paintings. The Big Moment of Discovery. This is the Moment: Pollock is doing one of […]
