THE BEST OF TIMES (188 pp.) Ludwig Bemelmans -Simon & Schuster($3.95)
“The average Austrian,” says Bemelmans, “is like the cocker spaniel, helplessly affectionate and sentimental.” Bemelmans himself has been a U.S. citizen since he was a young man, but his native affectionateness and sentimentality (he was raised in the Tyrol) still run like a groundswell under his clear prose and brilliantly childlike paintings and drawings. No man can be more superficial than he when commenting on the causes of contemporary misery (“If politicians can clean up the messes they have made and are making, then Paris will be the old place again”), but it is precisely this relaxed laziness of thought that gives him not only his sensuous warmth but his faculty to echo, like a verbatim record, whatever scenes or conversations may happen to brush up against his impressionable senses.

These drugs do the best job yet of controlling blood sugar and, of course, body weight, which is critical for those Type 2 diabetes, the common form of the disease that constitutes over 90 percent of cases and is associated with age and obesity.
In the fifth episode of The Acolyte, the latest Star Wars series on Disney+, the villain known as simply "The Stranger" finally reveals himself. While wearing a mask to hide his identity, the mysterious Sith Lord goes on a Jedi murdering spree.

We all hate tighty-whities, but really, Wellseley, come on.
Yes, the statue of a hyper-realistic sleepwalking man on the Wellesley College campus is truly creepy. His outstretched arms and lolling mouth make him look like a pasty, middle-aged zombie. His flaccid penis sagging in his graying briefs will haunt your dreams forever, like the ghost of your future sex life.
But outraged students at the prestigious women’s college aren’t just averting their eyes; they’re demanding that Tony Matelli’s “The Sleepwalker” be taken inside, calling it a “trigger” for sexual assault survivors.
