I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I was thinking the photos didn't do the glare justice.

Not so much. Awfully shiny. He said he went to PS 70-something in the Bronx, but got lucky and got spotted by some talent scouts that DeNiro sent in. Dropped out of school at 5th grade and did the biz and homeschooling thing. Also, computer nerd. Lots of people were taking photos and getting autographs post-Q&A, so undoubtedly more photos will show up on the interwebs soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(can you believe I was the only person in a meeting of 8 literate, bookish, educated people who knew who Seymour Hersch is?)

Yes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How lucky does Frank Capra IV really have to get? Is PS 70 inner city?

That's what I was wondering. Either they didn't get much out of the connections or he's got a story he's telling.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Let me rephrase. In the context of discussing the source and possible permissioned use of Abu Ghraib prison photos, can you believe...? (Hersh is the guy who broke that story in the New Yorker, and on 60 minutes.)

Well, Capra III isn't like a mogul or anything. But I still wouldn't put it past him being from Riverdale, the fancy part of the Bronx, but still using "Bronx public school" as code for "street."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Doesn't seem too bad for an NYC school.

But it's in my neighborhood in Queens.

Compared to most TV actors? He's doing okay.
