TUSCALOOSA, AL—A Southeastern Conference replay official conducting a video review of a sideline catch during the Alabama-Tennessee game Saturday overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling granting women the right to abortions. “Well, I certainly don’t know what the refs were looking at down on the field to make that call,” CBS analyst Gary Danielson said moments after the controversial ruling came in. “A woman’s right to choose her reproductive future is clearly covered by the constitutional right to privacy, and that guy certainly didn’t have control of the ball when he went out of bounds.” Confirming the conference stood by the decision, an SEC spokesperson also said that officials would be disciplined for last week’s Florida–Mississippi State game, in which a “grave error” was made when a replay call upheld both a Florida touchdown in which the ballcarrier had clearly fumbled before crossing the goal line and Brown v. Board of Education.

The Song of the Two Rabbits
Why am I posting about a German children’s song? Because, according to the biography by Stefan Müller-Doohm, it is “one of Teddie’s favourite songs that Maria and Agathe Calvelli-Adorno used to sing to him.” Maria and Agathe are the mother and aunt of Theodor Ludwig Wiesengrund-Adorno. He became Theodor W. Adorno after filling out his formal application for US citizenship.

I’m still waiting for my photograph of the National Archives (II) to be accessioned into their collection. Will it be filed under my currently non-existent papers collection? A possibly existing collection entitled “NARA College Park, photographs of”? The dustbin?
This is one of the greatest films of all time.

I am reminded of some lines by Stephen Crane:
A man said to the universe:
“Sir I exist!”
“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation.”
