“I knew he was important and he was special, and I wanted some of that energy,” said Mr. Karefa-Smart, a photographer and artist living in Paris, who wrote the foreword to the new edition. “I said, ‘Uncle Jimmy, when are you going to write a book about me?’”

In commenting on the origins of her recipes, Oliva said they came from her late Italian father, William Fote, who was a contractor in Olean. Oliva said her mother, Olga, died when she was just 8 years old, which made it necessary for her to cook for her father and four siblings as she grew older. She learned how to prepare food from her father, whom she remembered as a very good cook.

And finally, Macbeth was recently staged at a place where both actors and audience members deeply related to the characters they portrayed: Twin Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla, Oregon. One of the actors portraying Macbeth is currently serving life in prison for murder. (Reporter Noelle Crombie at the Oregonian goes into great detail about the performance and the organizations that bring acting programs to inmates.)

In the upcoming spring semester, the museum’s leadership team will teach a new UA class, held at Crystal Bridges. Students will venture behind the scenes and discuss emerging issues for museums: the role of technology in an object-oriented field, ways art can drive economic growth and sustainable tourism, and best practices for presenting controversial art and subjects.

Those in the global 1 percent, Oxfam calculates, may well be stomping a carbon footprint 175 times deeper than the poorest 10 percent. Another analysis concludes that the richest 1 percent of Americans, Singaporeans, and Saudis on average emit over 200 tons of carbon dioxide per person per year, “2,000 times more than the poorest in Honduras, Rwanda, or Malawi.”

Wimpfheimer sees this hypothetical example as a way to contrast biblical times and today — the “big gap between us and them,” he said. “Our world is very different from these strange rabbis’ conversations in the Talmud.”

One thing was clear after “Beautiful Boy” made its world premiere at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival: Timothée Chalamet is a “shoo-in” to earn his second career Oscar nomination, this time for best supporting actor (so says IndieWire’s awards editor Anne Thompson). The 22 year old stars opposite Steve Carell in this true story drama that marks the English-language debut of Belgian director Felix Van Groeningen (“The Broken Circle Breakdown”).

There were a few big birthdays in 2018 that underscored just how far we’ve gone in space. NASA turned 60 and the International Space Station turned 20. There was a lot of chatter from the White House about starting up a Space Force, but its future remains unclear. 

Ina Garten makes cookbooks by retreating into her tasteful barn, an Eileen-Fisher-store-gone-rustic of barns that she made for herself, and doing things to death. There was the season when she grilled chicken, the weeks when she roasted lamb. For years, she would then hand the recipe to her assistant, Barbara Libath, and watch her make the recipe by herself.

“Think of each unit of synthetic DNA as a high-tech fingerprint,” explained SelectaDNA vice president Joe Maltese. “Each application of Synthetic DNA generates a unique code, providing clients with the ability to identify and recover lost or stolen rare books. Raptis is using the technology to demonstrate their rare books have been authenticated and sold by them.”

PMG said that over a century ago, replacement notes for certain U.S. bank notes did not use a star. Many of these, however, are still identifiable by a slightly different font used for the serial number. This font was the result of replacement notes being printed using different equipment.

Jeff Smith is the creator of Bone, the series often credited with kicking off the boom in graphic novels for children when it was published beginning in 2005. Now Smith has a picture book set in the world of Bone, “Smiley’s Dream Book,” aimed at kids ages 2 to 6 — who may be the series’ future readers. I talked to Smith about where the Bone characters came from, how Bone ended up as a series for children, and what the transition from comics to picture books was like for him. These are edited excerpts from our conversation.
