Marla Goldberg and I ruminate about the end of the Democratic primary season, and even though we supported different candidates, we still respect one another! It’s a thing, people. Filmmaker and critic Larry Hott talked about the short films commissioned by the Library of American Landscape History, including the films “Fletcher Steele and Naumkeag: A Playground of the Imagination,” and “Ruth Shellhorn: Midcentury Landscape Design in Southern California” go to this site. The films were produced by Larry Hott and Diane Garey. Lolita, Rosario and their mother, the awesomely great Lola Flores sing us out with “A tu vera.”
