A remark usually attributed (though without proof) to Napoleon calls the Piazza San Marco "the drawing room of Europe". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza_Sa…
The history of the Piazza San Marco can be conveniently covered in four periods, but the only pre-renaissance buildings and monuments still standing there are St Mark's, the Doge's Palace and the two great columns in the Piazzetta.
The first patron
saint of Venice was St Theodore, a Greek warrior saint, and the first chapel of the Doge was dedicated to him. It was probably built about 819 and stood near the site of the present church of St Mark.
In 828–829 relics of St Mark were stolen from Alexandria and
Robert Koch’s work with anthrax is notable in that he was the first to link a specific microorganism with a specific disease, rejecting the idea of spontaneous generation and supporting the germ theory of disease. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ko…
While at Walter Reed, Stanley "Stan" Falkow worked with African-American microbiologist Othello Washington. Washington was older and more experienced than Falkow, but was assigned to be Stan's technician.
Washington is an author on a study titled
"Invasion of HeLa Cells by Salmonella typhimurium: A Model for Study of Invasiveness of Salmonella".
This paper helped establish HeLa cells as an appropriate cell line to model Salmonella infection of intestinal epithelium.
The "Gowrie conspiracy" resulted in the killing of the earl and his brother by attendants of King James at Gowrie House, Perth, a few weeks after Ruthven's return to Scotland in May 1600.
The King was lured to Perth from his hunting near Falkland Palace, possibly by a story of
buried treasure, and offered dinner in the house. James was separated from his companion and threatened in a room at the top of the house. His retinue killed both brothers during the attack, and the king survived. The angry townspeople of Perth were pacified.
His experiences at the 8055th M.A.S.H. were the background for his novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors (1968), which he worked on for eleven years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_H…
MASH was rejected by many publishers. He worked with the famed sportswriter W.C. Heinz to revise it. A year later, the book was acquired by William Morrow and Company.
When William Morrow died in 1931, Thater Hobson bought control of William Morrow and Company and made
himself president. While at Morrow, Hobson was the publisher of Erle Stanley Gardner, who wrote the Perry Masonseries.

The indictment, filed and unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, accuses Dmitri Simes, 76, and his wife, Anastasia Simes, 55, of participating in a scheme to violate U.S. sanctions for the benefit of the Russian state-controlled broadcaster and to
If Simes’ name sounds at all familiar, it’s not your imagination: The dual U.S.-Russian citizen worked as an advisor to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and as NBC News’ report added, Simes’ name also “appeared numerous times
in the reportcompiled by special counsel Robert Mueller on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.”

Polly Jessup, the Decorator Time Almost Forgot | Architectural Digest
“Polly Jessup loved wallpaper, antiques, and lampshades,” Foster said in a phone conversation. “She truly loved lampshades. I’m like her. I can spot a bad lampshade at 50 paces.” architecturaldigest.com/story/polly-je…
Many of Jessup’s clients were serious collectors. A prime example is Robert Hudson Tannahill, for whom she began to work in the late 1940s.
His was among the first entire houses she completed after John died in 1945. Tannahill, a noted connoisseur and the quiet heir to the
Hudson department store fortune, lived alone in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, near his cousin Eleanor Ford.
Tannahill donated 475 works of art and $550,000 in cash to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) during his lifetime. Upon his death, the museum received an additional
