Presumably there is now enough data to show what idiocy that was, not that the claims were being made by people on whom data have any impact.

I used to go to the Queensland Museum quite a lot and knew the curators of Aboriginal Archaeology and of art quite well.

Same problem the world over. In our ideal world there would be ten times as many directors all with appropriate training in archaeology.

Dolly Parton is the best of us.

Of course her music is an unparalleled gift, but I don’t know if many know about her Imagination Library.

As a children’s court judge I get many cases involving kids in all manner of vulnerable situations. I would sign up all the children to Imagination Library. Dolly sent each child an age-appropriate book every month, and all those kids continue to get a new book, every month.

Sometimes these kids are moving around between shelters or relatives and all they have are some clothes, and these books. We always make sure the books go with them.

It is hard to put into words the gift of the world coming in every month for these kids.

That’s what Dolly Parton chose to do (quietly) with her wealth.

She will be deeply missed, but her mark on the world will live on.

I think they have a more specialised pretentiousness. There are some nuance but not THAT many.

Ah, yes. Then there is the famous controversy over whether pizza can ever contain pineapple. Those who eat pizza say it is an Australian peculiarity. One of Australia's greatest rugby union players, David Campese, was of Italian heritage and used to play there in the off season. He loved that pizza. So he persuaded the local pizza shop to make it with pineapple. They sold it with a suitable Italian name: Pizza Campese.

one of the first amusements after I came here 52 years ago was that the lecturer in Italian had obtained a research grant to investigate the ingredients in pizzas with the same names in different restaurants in Sydney. He and his eventual research student had a lovely time sampling them all. I imagine that the variation would be much greater nowadays for the reasons you outline. The first pizza I had was in Italy in 1970 and was a bit of pizza base, a sardine and a smear of tomato
