For what it's worth, this is one of my favorite quotes of all time
Linus Pauling (40 Years Ago)
"The man who carried to the UN a petition denouncing nuclear proliferation, censured and ridiculed for not being 'sufficiently anti-communist'. When Pauling was asked why he risked so much in an atmosphere still redolent with McCarthy-like menace, he answered:
'To be worthy of the respect of my wife'."

Most courteous of the gentlemen to enquire
It is true: an ever-increasing number of fine establishments have been printing requests for patrons to refrain from using their cell phone in their dining rooms.
The Wulfshead has no such prohibitions.
All in all, the management trusts patrons to observe proper cell phone etiquette.
As the gentlemen may know, there is no knowing when an emergency may occur.
When such calls come in, our experience has been that most cell phone users usually excuse themselves to continue their conversations in a more private spot.

The Final Manifesto by Joshua Mehigan appeared in last February's issue of Poetry~~~
1. We see you.
2. We know who you are.
3. Your ideas are worthless.
4. Your aesthetic is stupid.
5. Your “technique” is a welter of narcissism, superstition, and habit.
6. All your little tiny ideas, all your whoring attempts at creation, and you yourself are nothing, nobody wants you, we despise you, it’s in our nature.
7. You should be kept as a pet.
8. You are a Philistine, the Paul Bunyan of decadence, an acromegalic fraud.
9. You are a minnow, a speck, a stain.
10. The genre humain is sick, and you are to blame.
11. You are a necrophiliac.
12. You are a museum of irrelevance.
13. It will take years to make Art vital and important again.
14. You are from this moment forbidden.
15. As the Italians say, Parla quando piscia la gallina.
16. We are here now.
17. Our aesthetics is empirically grounded.
18. Our taste will be raised to principle.
19. You and your band of jays will be flushed out.
20. Yes, Art is resurrected today: Victory is ours!
21. History will forget you and salute us.
22. Here you are, and here is oblivion.
23. This is the final manifesto, and the only one.
