Still the tallest statue in the USA, the Statue of Liberty arrived from France - in no less than 214 crates - in New York City on 17th June, 1885.

Durante la pandemia aprendimos a oír los sonidos del encierro. Los que se escuchan con facilidad, y también esos pequeños, enervantes y repetitivos que no nos dejan dormir: el sonido de la soledad y la culpa. En “Tár” (2022) Cate Blanchett encarna a una directora de orquesta brillante y atormentada por esos ecos.

Until the mid-20th century, putting nappies on babies involved folding and pinning cloth towelling, then pulling a pair of rubber pants over the top. That all began to change on June 12th, 1951, when the US inventor Marion Donovan patented a new kind of nappy, with an envelope-like plastic cover and an absorbent insert.Her invention ultimately netted her a million dollars (nearly $10 million in today’s money) and paved the way for the development of disposable nappies which have become ubiquitous
