by Gerry June 2, 2022

Jonathan and Joshua Shapiro

A letter to the editor of PennLive.com today, suggested that Pennsylvania GOP Chair, Lawrence Tabas, was using an "anti-Semitic dog-whistle" when he referred to the Democratic candidate for governor as Josh Shah-PIE-Roh, rather than Shah-PEER-Oh, which is the way the candidate, Josh Shapiro, pronounces his last name. One has to wonder if the person making this accusation … [Read more...] about Shah-PEER-Oh? Sha-PIE-Roh? How Do You Say, Shapiro?

Josh Shapiro To Make ‘Special Announcement,’ October 13

by Gerry October 6, 2021

Josh Shapiro Announcement

The worst-kept secret in Pennsylvania is that  Attorney General, Josh Shapiro, is running for Governor. Actually, it's a stretch to describe his intention to succeed Tom Wolf, when Wolf's term expires at the end of this year, as a secret. It's more like a known fact lacking the pomp and ceremony of an official announcement.  Back in May of this year, without the … [Read more...] about Josh Shapiro To Make ‘Special Announcement,’ October 13

In their minds, it is directed toward Palestinians, not against […]

Both come out of the work of Raymond Loewy and his design firm. Raymond Loewy (1893–1986) helped define what modern America looked like in the mid-20th century. Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]

It’s an unapologetically analog event: pens, paper, ink, and the people who still care deeply about them.
