Look at the pictures labeled "Hofheinz' Apartment."
And yes, there was a Presidential Suite. I'd forgotten about that. That was gone after LBJ left office.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

FDA official quits over morning-after decision: [link]
Director of Women's Health Office resigns in protest over agency's delay
...
The FDA last Friday postponed indefinitely its decision on whether to allow the morning-after pill, called Plan B, to be sold without a prescription.
The agency said it was safe for adults to use without a doctor’s guidance but was unable to decide how to keep it out of the hands of young teenagers without a prescription — a decision contrary to the advice of its own scientific advisers.
“I can no longer serve as staff when scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated and recommended for approval by the professional staff here, has been overruled,” wrote Wood, who also was assistant commissioner for women’s health.

I was scouting around on LJ and I found Poppy Z. Brite's post -- she got out of the city, but she left all but one of her 28 animals behind.

It's amazing to think of what hadn't happened/didn't exist/came to be in her lifetime.
My grandfather passed away on 2000, and was nearly that old (there were no proper registrations where and when he was born, so his age was only an estimation). He kept expressing his amazement and joy over the differences in the world, all the things that happened during his life. I don't think I can properly imagine how life was when he was not only a child, but my age. Crazy century.

Huh. The cheapest gas in Chicago is $2.67. The most expensive is $3.69. (Both of these are regular unleaded.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, yeah, Beth. Much better for her to be in Hattiesburg than Biloxi.

Regular unleaded is still a shade under $3 -- $2.97 downtown, $2.91 in the U District, still $2.79 by the house. Up 10-15 cents over Monday.
Word is that the West Coast supplies are great, so the refiners are planning on shipping out the excess to the Gulf States and selling it at a considerable profit. Because, after all, the 437th Rule of Acquisition states that "if you have two coats and your neighbor has none, sell the coat to him for the shirt off his back, then sell that shirt to the shirtless man for a considerable markup."
