You know very well that Russia was an ally during World War ll. And FDR wanted Russia help against Japan at Yalta. One can argue Roosevelt was wrong
-
Tolstoy's War and Peace is not just the punchline of a joke. It is an interesting novel about Napoleon in Russia. The is taught in several Ivy League universities, so your snob rating is not in danger.

Premier Escort closed. So the escort scene is less robust in Philadelphia now. I hire much less often, mostly traveling guys.

Have You Ever Been To A Taping Of A Television Show?
+ WilliamM replied to + Avalon's topic in The Lounge
Talk shows occasional have audience members who attend every show. In the the 1960s, the most well known was "Mrs. Miller." After our senoir prom in high school, we went to small local night club. The perfomer was someone who became famous on "The Tonight Show." I could not believe "Mrs. Miller" was there also. -
Me also, until I was a junior in college. Luckily, he also taught a two-semester German history course the next year when I was a senior. By accident, we both lived in the same Massachusetts town.
-
I had several excellent history teachers as well, more in Euopean history than American. But, I was a political science major, so especially remember the seminar I took at Penn State on the U.S. presidency.

I might have put Keanu Reeves on this list if had not seen his band Dogstar several times years ago. He is much better looking in person.
-
I live in Philadelphia, and mostly like the city. But, please consider Louisville as well.
-
This is Florez's first opera at the Met in three/four years. Earlier he sang at the Met almost every year. Glad he is finally back.
-
There are some parts of Philadelphia that a bit more dangerous, including near the University of Pennsylvania in West Philadelphia.
-
Rather than start a new thread: So far my only selection from MET Opera this upcoming season is Juan Diege Florez in La Traviata.

I saw Ryan Idol in an off-Broadway play. A first-rate con artist and just ok actor.
-
Forgot to mention the house where Garbo was born in Stockholm is now in a quite wealty neighborhood.
-
Garbo was not always alone, yet she would never comment on a brief scene in a porn film. When she died in 1980, Garbo was buried in Stockholm, not the United States.
-
I saw "Funny Girl," and Steisand's other musical, "I can get for you Wholesale" before the cast albums were released. The same thing happened with " Hamilton," so I am a bit confused why I did not like "Hamilton." Perhaps I missed the details only possible in a long book.
-
As you know, I live in Philadelpia. So I was aware of many locations when Hamilton served at Valley Forge and later in Washington's cabinet. I missed that connection in the musical.
-
Please ignore @Avalon, who is a huge fan of Wikipedia. The Hamilton bio I mentioned is by Ron Chernow.
-
Wonderful. I greatly enjoyed the recent Hamilton biography, which included Laurens. Thank you for the video. He was left out of the musical, so the video is valuable (at least to me).
-
You must not live close to New York City. Several of the actors have done nude scene on Broadway or off- Broadway. Best by far: David Burtka in Albee's "The Play About The Baby." Thanks, Avalon.

Gay Teen Kicked Out of Home Becomes School's Co-Valedictorian
+ WilliamM replied to + Avalon's topic in The Lounge
Georgetown may be better if it is only four or so coursse that make a difference later in life, especially history and/ or literture courses -
Yes, but the Kennedy Center is breaking from the stated purpose of the Honors. From Richard Rodgers to Lunt and Fontane to Mary Martin to Chita Rivera, significant Broadway people have been chosen for a lifetime of work. The same standards applied to everyone associated with the arts.

Financial considerations are important, but so is the superior education at Georgetown (for four yesrs). Whatever he decides to pursue after college, even if is just a first job, Georgetown is the best option by far. -
Why every gay man should visit Palm Springs at least once in his life
+ WilliamM replied to + Avalon's topic in The Lounge
According to a relatively new Martin biography, "Some Enchanted Evenings," Mary moved from Palm Springs to a condo at 82 Princeton in Rancho Mirage. I did not remember she also lived in Palm Springs. -

I did not finish my Larry Hagman post above. They spent many summers at his mother's home in Rancho Mirage. His mom (Mary Martin) often spent summer in London. -

l guess nobody told Larry Hagman. Before he was cast in "Dallas," he rented out his Malibu beach home and spent summers (with his family) in various places includimg Typical Kenny response!
