ellauri106.html on line 65: Philip Roth was the younger of the 2 boys of Herman Roth (1901–1989) and his wife Bess, nee Finkel (1904–1981). Both parents were assimilated American Jews of the second generation of immigrants. The maternal grandparents came from the area around Kiev, the Yiddish-speaking paternal grandparents, Sender and Bertha Roth, from Koslow in Galicia. Sender Roth had trained as a rabbi in Galicia and worked in a hat factory in Newark. Herman Roth, the middle of seven children and the first child in the United States, first worked in a factory after eight years of schooling, then became an insurance agent selling door-to-door life insurance. By his retirement he made it to the district director of Metropolitan Life. Philip Roth's brother, Sanford (Sandy) Roth (1927–2009), who was four years older than him, studied art at the Pratt Institute, became vice-president of the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather in Chicago and made a name for himself as a painter after his "early retirement".

Sprague de Camp's Harold Shea stories, the modern American adventurers Harold Shea and Reed Chalmers visit the world of The Faerie Queene, where they discover that the greater difficulties faced by Spenser's knights in the later portions of the poem are explained by the evil enchanters of the piece having organized a guild to more effectively oppose them. Juppajju, dominoteoria. Hullut vietnam-veteraanit sekoaa kun pitäs syödä lo meiniä. Kiinattaret tuoxuu tutusti halvalta hajuvedeltä ja herneenpalolta.

Svedu perkeleet. Joona on kuin Prattin trolli joka ajattelee salamannopeasti syväjäädytettynä. Sen nimikin on vizi: 2 o:ta peräkkäin. Dead giveaway! En finne igen. Harmi että Slussenin sillat on purettu, sieltä alta niitä sai.
ellauri402.html on line 431: Teini-ikäisenä Smith, lempinimeltään "Pixie", kävi taidekoulua New Yorkissa Pratt Institutessa. Kun hänen äitinsä kuoli vuonna 1896, Smith jätti Prattin valmistumatta liittyäkseen matkustavaan teatteriryhmään ja johtaakseen trubaduurin paimentolaiselämää. Lavatyöskentelyn lisäksi Smith sai mainetta taitavana puku- ja lavastussuunnittelijana. 1900-luvun alussa tämä oli epätavallinen ammatti nuorelle, naimattomalle naiselle. Hän oli myös aktiivinen naisten äänioikeusliikkeessä edellisen vuosisadan vaihteessa.
