    Blake Bailey’s biography "Philip Roth" is already unavailable on Kindle. In the coming digital dark age, it may be prudent to have some physical books stashed in your basement so you can at least say, “These fragments I have shored against my ruins.”

    NEW: We’ve only been here about an hour and already a large group of 46 migrants just crossed the Rio and presented themselves to local deputies here in Del Rio, TX. Several of the migrants I asked said they are coming from Venezuela, just like yesterday.

    Here's David Bowie doing "Heroes" at his famous 1987 concert just west of the Berlin Wall: It's interesting how Bowie' vocal range increased in his later years -- note the falsetto on "you can be QUEEN" in 2002. That's not unusual among opera singers.

    Here's David Bowie doing "Heroes" at Live Aid in 1985, wit hthe up-tempo rhythm of the coked-up early 1980s. His performance gets better when he briefly slows down about 3:30:

    And here's Bowie doing in Berlin in 2002 his greatest song "Heroes," an even better Cold War anthem than Jesus Jones' "Right Here, Right Now" and the Sex Pistols' "Holidays in the Sun:" Bowie was just so much more _healthy_ in his 50s than when younger.

    "While the current Black Craze is flatteringly described as “egalitarian” and “liberatory,” black artists’ main objections to thrones seems to be that blacks aren’t sitting on them." -

    And news coverage of World War Hair has never been better!

    A footnote: Women are now in charge of the newsrooms at the Washington Post, CBS News, ABC News, NPR, MSNBC, Reuters, Financial Times, Guardian and the Economist. The fact that this is not a big deal is kind of a big deal.

    In 1960, novelist John Updike, a casual but extremely intelligent baseball fan, anticipated some of the Bill James Revolution in stats analysis (the value of slugging over batting average, home park effects) but didn't quite grasp on-base percentage:

    Here's John Updike's 1960 article "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu" about Ted Williams' last game. Updike battles against the then tyranny of Batting Average to argue that Ted was baseball's best hitter ever. Updike is missing only the modern concept of on-base%:

    Setting aside the "quantitative" element. . .this is really excellent, excellent work by Sailer. Well worth reading.

    Dear : You might find interesting my new column that quantitatively compares the career arcs of novelists John Updike and Philip Roth. Updike expected to fade like an athlete (his Rabbit Angstrom character peaked in high school) and did.

    It had to become much coarser, stupider, and more propagandistic to arrive at this point where this is being taught to STEM teachers...

    Idiocy from John Oliver, who maintains that only whites are responsible for all the problems blacks have with their hair.
