I'm excited to announce that starting today, visitors to Google Books will be able to search and browse even more magazines on Google Books. We've partnered with Life Inc. to digitize LIFE Magazine's entire run as a weekly: over 1,860 issues, covering the years from 1936 to 1972. Most of us are familiar with the term "American Century," but chances are few of us have been able to read Henry Luce's defining editorial in its original context, a 1941 issue of LIFE. You'll be able to find and read Leonard McCombe’s iconic cover and photo essay on a Texas Cowboy and Richard Meryman's famous last interview with Marilyn Monroe. You can find a 1968 cover story on Georgia O'Keeffe (which you may want to read if you're visiting the Whitney Museum anytime soon).

Cool beans! There's a piece on Francoise Sagan that I've always wanted to read, as well as a classic "Here Are the Beats of San Francisco!"
What issue is the Beat article in?

Bastards. I just paged through about 6 issues, looking for car ads....
Happy Birthday, Matilda!!! Poor thing. I still can't stand people singing happy birthday to me.
It took two people to write that song.
I hate singing Happy Birthday. It always sounds like a funeral dirge, people sing very slowly and often off key.
A friend of mine from West Virginia use to sing what he swore was a genuine West Virginian version of Happy Birthday, to the tune of the Volga boat song:
It's your birthday *stomp*
It's your birthday *stomp*
People dying, children crying
It's your birthday *stomp*
I doubt WV really gets the blame, but it does make a change from the usual version.
