Rip Sebastiao Salgado 88, astonishing documentary photographer from Brazil.

His photographs of Brazilian workers (I'm thinking of a series set in an open gold mine) are both hyper-informative and flat out gorgeous to see.

One of my favorite pieces of trivia is no more… Harrison Ruffin Tyler, last living grandson of our 10th President, John Tyler, died.

Born on Nov. 9, 1928 in Richmond, Tyler was the son of Lyon Gardiner Tyler and Sue Ruffin. His father was a son of President John Tyler and president of William & Mary for more than three decades; his mother came from another Virginia family of long lineage and ardent support for slavery and secession.

How a man living in the 21st century managed to be the grandson of one born in the 18th is due to one factor: fathers who had children late in life. President John Tyler was 63 when Lyon Gardiner Tyler was born; Lyon was 75 when Harrison entered the world.

A YouTube recommended video popped up on my recommended watches (all of the U.S. Presidents' favorite foods) and this bit of trivia stuck in my head for some reason:

Historian Henry F. Graff told the story in Cleveland’s 2002 biography “Grover Cleveland: The American Presidents Series: The 22nd and 24th President, 1885-1889 and 1893-1897.” He wrote that Cleveland had grown tired of the French food his chef, who had previously cooked for President Chester Arthur, would serve him. At one point, Cleveland wrote in a letter, “I must go to dinner, but I wish it was to eat pickled herring, Swiss cheese and a chop at Louis’ instead of the French stuff I shall find.” On one occasion, Cleveland ditched his meal entirely and requested it be swapped out with his servants’ meal, which was corned beef and cabbage. “To the dismay of the chef, he said to Sinclair, ‘Well, William, take this dinner down to the servants and bring their dinner to me.’ He declared it the best food he had had for months,” Graff elaborated.

Eating like Taft might get YOU into this thread, GB

When William Howard Taft was president from 1909 to 1913, juicy steak was served every morning at the White House. He liked the succulent red meat so much that he would eat an entire 12-ounce steak for his daily breakfast. (He sometimes even had it for all three meals; for dinner, steak was often served with President Taft's other favorite food, turtle soup.)

According to a recipe published in a 1935 issue of the Washington Post (via My Vintage Eats), Taft's breakfast was made with the best cuts of steak. Either sirloin, tenderloin, or T-bone, with the fat trimmed off. The steak was seared in the fat, then broiled for 10 to 15 minutes, seasoned with salt and pepper, and coated in butter.

We know quite a bit about Taft's dining preferences thanks to his housekeeper, Elizabeth Jaffray, who shared all in her book, "Secrets of the White House." As noted by The White House Historical Association, Jaffray revealed how the president wanted his breakfast prepared, which always included "two oranges, a 12-ounce beefsteak, [and] several pieces of toast and butter." Taft also liked to wash down his steak with "a vast quantity of coffee, with cream and sugar," but no eggs, as he decidedly was not a fan. Instead, he enjoyed potatoes with his first meal of the day, especially in the form of hashbrowns.

Goodbye, farewell and amen, Hot Lips

In the '90's I worked on a talk show and when Loretta Swit was a guest in the greem room she could tell I was dying to call her "Hot Lips" so she nipped it the bud by jamming a finger at me and quipping "He doesn't get to call me Hot Lips!" Was joking but you could tell she's had enough of that particularl moniker. RIP.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Was joking but you could tell she's had enough of that particularl moniker

I read once that while she was grateful for the opportunity, she felt constrained by her time on M*A*S*H.

She did get one big chance: she filmed the pilot for "Cagney & Lacey", and CBS picked it up for a series. But then the network also offered Alan Alda a crapload of money to do a final season, and they didn't want to wait for her so they gave the role to Sharon Gless.

@alanalda

Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it. She worked hard In showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person -- with real feelings and ambitions. We celebrated the day the script came out listing her character not as Hot Lips, but as Margaret. Loretta made the most of her time here.

I had it there as well. Also the best service I've ever had in my life. I was there during the 25 cent martini lunch and a waiter that had nothing to do with my table prior was walking by after tending to another table and looked over at me. I locked eyes with him and he sensed I was looking for yet another martini. He stopped in his tracks and said : "Another classic, extra dirty Mr. Swillus?" Allow me to reiterate, this guy WASN'T EVEN MY WAITER. Yet somehow, he knew not only my last name but what I was drinking. Unreal. Still amazes me to this day.

Going for lunch is the play. It's very reasonably priced for the quality of food and restaurant. Plus the $0.25 martinis.

Of note, it's where I took my wife on the night I proposed to her, so it has that going for it for me as well.

He's referencing Pete Rose getting into the HOF posthumously.

I thought he was talking about this:

Hornung's penchant for high-living proved disastrous when, in 1963, a major scandal erupted and Hornung and another of the league's top stars, defensive tackle Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions, were suspended from football indefinitely in April 1963 by commissioner Pete Rozelle for betting on NFL games and associating with undesirable persons. Forthright in admitting to his mistake, Hornung's image went relatively untarnished, and in 1964 his suspension, and Karras's, were re-evaluated by the league and both were reinstated in March.

Jim Marshall, Minnesota Vikings defensive end and member of the Purple People Eaters, dies at 87.

Not in the HOF. That's preposterous.

As a Lions fan, I remember Marshall and the rest of the Purple People Eaters destroying the Lions and every other team. It's downright criminal that he's not in the Hall of Fame.
