Or is that simple gamesmanship? “Theoretically, the Academy itself could sue in an effort to lower its tab with PwC, but experts speculate that the firm may proactively offer a deep discount, or even a total waiver of fees for the event, in an attempt to keep the business.”

What Do Memories Smell Like?
The role of smell in cultural preservation is getting its own attention – and the tool of the preservationists is “a sampling device that looks like a contraption out of Jules Verne: a crystalline dome with plastic tubing snaking from its side. The sampler is placed gently on objects — rare books, furniture, carpets — to capture the escaping molecules that create a distinct smell.”
Laurie Anderson On Lou Reed As A Writer, Their Retirement Plans, And Their Archives
Anderson doesn’t want the archives to go to a university where no one can access them. That said, some things can’t be captured: “The one thing I really miss from this archive that was such a big part of Lou — and can’t really be archived — is his dedication to meditation.

What Could Possibly Explain Last Week’s Oscars Flub?
Disaster science, in which lots of little, seemingly inconsequential things add up to large problems. For instance, at the Oscars, “having senior executives taking such a front-line role can be a recipe for trouble – they’re more likely to assume they’re going to do it right. Many accidents have been triggered by very experienced workers who grew overconfident and complacent — wilderness firefighters, for example, are most likely to be killed or injured in their 10th year on the job.”
Why (Almost) All Of Us Laugh
“Over a century ago, Henri Bergson, one of the first modern philosophers to think deeply on the subject, pointed out that laughter is an “inherently social” activity, and in recent decades, academics have found data to support this theory.”

“One expects change when a new artistic director takes over, as Kent did half a year ago. But in Thursday’s opening-night performance at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater, marking the start of the company’s spring season, it was clear that Kent’s touch is a subtle and sensitive one, apparent in such artistic intangibles as musicality, an apt quality of airiness and an overall attention to detail.”
