FBI spent decades scrutinizing black literature
"...domestic agents analyzed African-American novels, poems and other writings in order to anticipate unrest."
"...many acts by the national agency in its decades-long drive to confuse, suppress and blunt the works of black American writers, intellectuals and artists of such movements as the Harlem Renaissance."

“Painting a Picture” Sexier Than Coding, Study Finds
"...815 ethnically diverse participants were asked to rank 43 creative behaviors ranging from 'painting a picture' to 'making a website' according to which were most 'sexually attractive in a potential mate.' Painting a picture was, by all accounts, much sexier."
...
"According to the survey, 'making a clever remark,' 'performing in a band,' and 'taking artistic photographs' rank among the sexiest creative behaviors, while 'presenting scientific or math papers' and 'writing an original computer program' rank among the least sexy.

The Inner Ear
"My blue-sky proposal: teach America’s kids to read by making them read poetry. Shakespeare and Pope and Milton by the fifth grade; in high school, Dante and Catullus in the original. By graduation, they would know Anne Carson and Derek Walcott by heart. A child taught to parse a sentence by Dickinson would have no trouble understanding Donald H. Rumsfeld’s known knowns and unknown unknowns."

Word Virus
The William Burroughs Reader
Fourth Estate, London 2010
"When gangsters write the laws...ethics become fugitives, sanity is branded madness, and the artist's only option is total resistance."
"...he instructed readers in the art of deprogramming."
"...in his fiction, though everyone is complicit, everyone is also responsible, for everyone is capable of resistance. There are no victims, just accomplices; the mark collaborates with his exploiter in his own demise."
"Burroughs claimed to belong to only one group, the 'Shakespeare squadron'; in the historical impasse in which he lived, language was his only weapon."
-from the introduction by Ann Douglas
