In the thought-provoking exhibition, “Love Songs: Photography and Intimacy,” at the International Center of Photography, two series of photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki face off on opposite walls. In the first, “Sentimental Journey,” from 1971, Araki charts his honeymoon with Yoko Aoki, his young wife. Love and loss. Many of the photographers are charting the end of a love affair. As songwriters have recognized, the pain of a breakup is more emotionally penetrating than the joy of a happy romance.

The Boston Marathon is arguably the most elusive finish line of all, and not just anyone can cross it. In 2013, on a cool, partly sunny day, this ebullient scene was shattered when two bombs exploded near the finish line. On Monday, nearly 30,000 runners will journey, down and up and down, toward the finish line of the 127th Boston Marathon. Volunteer, runner I used to volunteer at the finish line, reading information about runners as they finished for the announcer. It means something so different crossing that finish line compared to other marathon majors.

☆ ‘The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley’ Review: A Poet’s Emancipation
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-07 | by ( Randall Fuller | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

A 1773 edition of Phlllis Wheatley’s ‘Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral.’Leading up to the American Revolution, England possessed one advantage in the heated propaganda war with its wayward colonies: American patriots, so preoccupied with their own liberty, were among the largest buyers and sellers of humans in the world. The hypocrisy was self-evident. As one English writer noted, even as Bostonians claimed that officials in London were “forging infernal chains,” they themselves “actually have in town two thousand Negroe slaves, who neither by themselves in person, nor by representatives of their own free election ever gave consent to their present state of bondage.” Samuel Johnson put it more tartly: “How is it we hear the loudest yelps for liberty from the drivers of Negroes?”So effective was this line of attack that many revolutionaries considered slavery in the colonies the greatest obstacle to their own rights. Responses ranged from a defensive justification of slavery on grounds of racial inferiority to full-throated calls for the end of the practice altogether.

☆ A weed gummy theory for the Fed’s high-stakes interest rate gamble

Here’s the thing: The Fed right now is wearing blinders, and it only cares about bringing down inflation, my colleague Paul R. La Monica writes. The Weed Gummy TheoryThere’s an analogy offered by investment analyst Peter Boockvar last month that I can’t stop thinking about. He compared the Fed to an eager but inexperienced consumer of weed gummies, which, notoriously, take longer than anyone expects to kick in. Bankruptcies: Rate hikes make it more expensive for companies to pay down debt, increasing the risk of corporate bankruptcies and defaults. The so-called PPI, which tracks what suppliers charge other businesses for goods and services, showed prices going up 8.5% from a year ago.
