he New York Public Library has acquired the archives of the New York Review of Books, the library’s board of trustees announced on Tuesday. The acquisition will bring about 3,000 linear feet of manuscript material to the library’s manuscripts and archives division, a “significant addition to the Library’s collections, already rich with materials documenting the political, cultural and intellectual history of New York City”, the library said in an announcement. Funds for the purchase were donated by Roger Alcaly, a hedge fund manager and writer, and his wife, the photographer Helen Bodian. http://bit.ly/1NanwFN http://bit.ly/1NanwFN+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
