An interesting 3-page article on Vanity Fair yesterday:

Not your average grain-of-sand-article; that Steve King did his research.

I didn't learn much, but it was very well researched and written, a pleasure to read.

Caitlin, as knowledgeable as you are, it would take some work to teach you something new...

Thank you for always sharing that knowledge with we new ones!

Thanks IB
I am almost pedantic enough to be a College Professor, not!

I have my passions and ignore most else.

Delightful writing, that!

The thought of Carl Linaeus in Mikimoto's shoes proves history does have a sense of humor: [the man had singular business sense...]

We have the advantage of hearing about the best from the best, but it is a good article. Thanks for sharing!

It was like finding a new version of a King Arthur book, a retelling of the tale we all know, but refreshing to read in a new version.

Beautifully written article - thanks for sharing it with us Effisk!

Sidenote.... do you always read Vanity Fair?

Interesting though missing some pictures and photos,
speaking of pearls must come with some illustrations, IMHO

Looks like Slraep hacked into Nerida's account.
