Miscellaneous Rambling

We'll see what the market does today. I wonder: How much of this "crash" is due simply to people pulling money out of the market to pay college tuition? I haven't seen that explanation anywhere, but it seems it would be a factor. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* But I looked at August 8 to August 21 Dow Jones charts for 2012-2014 and saw no similar thing happen. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* [I stumbled across these great pictures of 1970s New York City](http://www.vintag.es/2015/02/50-amazing-color-photographs-of-new.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). I really dig old photos in general, but there's something about pictures an era that I remember first-hand, but only hazily, that appeal to me (perhaps related to a mini-essay that will appear tomorrow). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* What I find most interesting about those pics: What a dump large swaths of Manhattan were. These pictures really bring it home. And to realize the situation had reversed just twenty years later. Pretty amazing. Also interesting: Even the nice areas look shabby. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I still have first-hand memories of The Bowery circa 1970s, I don't remember the circumstances, but I walked down the Bowery with my Dad (and other family?) back in the 1970s. I remember being scared that the bums would attack us. My Dad (an ex-marine, never one for much fear) just scoffed, "They might attack us . . . If they could stand up." The images of those bums are still etched on my mind. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* New book notice: *The Memoirs of Louis Bouyer*. Man, I'm tempted. Very tempted. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* This line cracked me up: "Widener is the Great Unsinkable Library. Its ten levels contain fifty-seven miles of shelves, enough to hold some 4.6 million bound volumes, give or take a few." *Library: An Unquiet History*
