Sculptor Siah Armajani's lecture was based on this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Beauty must come back to the useful arts, and distinction between the fine and the useful arts be forgotten. If history were truly told, if life were nobly spent, it would be no longer easy or possible to distinguish the one from the other. In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, no will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men. It is in vain that we look for genius to reiterate its miracles in the old arts; it is its instinct to find beauty and holiness in new and necessary facts, the field and the roadside, in the shop and mill."

Who can ever forget the Sable bomb?
In WrestleMania XIV Sable delivered a spectacular superkick to Goldust, then turned to Luna and executed a powerbomb, known ever since as the "Sable bomb.” She also delivered a TKO and pinned Luna to finish the match, with the crowd chanting Sable's name in the background. When you enter my room, this Sable icon says, "I'm not just another pretty face. What are you looking at? You can look all you want but keep your hands to yourself." Her eyes move too, darting from left to right.

In the waning years of WW II, we were living in Rockville Center, Long Island, I was about 12 and dad was dying of a brain tumor. Mom said NYC was no place for a widow to bring up a child, so she packed us up and we took a train to her childhood home in Detroit Lakes Minnesota. That's where she met and married this widower. He was a clothing salesman and outdoorsman.
