A Tribute to Eros

Brooklyn Rail editor Theodore Hamm's tribute to Ralph Ginzburg includes four excerpts from articles that appeared in early 60s periodical Eros including “The Love Life of Napoleon,” “President Harding’s Second Lady,” “Memoirs of a Male Chaperon,” and “Love Making Can Be Fatal: In France they call it ‘The Sweet Death’.”

I did not know that Attorney General Robert Kennedy prosecuted Ginzburg for obscenity.

soul quiz

I may have posted this one before (they start to sound alike after a while).

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are quite expressive and thoughtful. You see the world in a way that others are blind to. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is all about change, but in very small steps. The end of the journey looks far, but it's much closer than you realize. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.
