"What distinguishes the K67 is its position between architecture and industrial design, embeddedness in the framework of a modern city and society, the rituals of daily life, and, last but not least, its persistent capacity to reinvent itself."

"Little is known about the history of Warsaw, Poland during World War I. Public memory of Warsaw’s role in the Great War has been obscured by the terror, violence, genocide and physical destruction during World War II."

WRITERS! Any of you fancy writing a biography/longform piece about Ivy Benson? She was so famous during the war but I can't find any biography of her and the Radio 4 show (hosted by Mel C for some reason) was pretty tame (there was definitely a lot more sex going on than the BBC was prepared to discuss). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-29557015 I want to write a TV script about her, but first off someone needs to get round all the surviving women's houses to interview them before they join Ivy's band in the sky.
Edit: Reading back it sounds like I'm being lazy and hoping someone else will do all the work for me, which is only half true. I'd love to do it, but I'm not allowed to start any new side projects until all my other side projects are finished.

http://mg.co.za/article/1998-07-10-how-samora-machel-signed-his-own-death/#.V-3SJ-SZt3Y.twitter Despite the (apartheid) government of South Africa denting that it played no prt in the plane crash that killed neighbouring Mozambique's president & a commission of inquiry that confirmed the same, Mail & Guardian have pieced together evidence that indeed does confirm that the apartheid government killed Samora Machel & it also tampered with evidence in addition to trying to get rid of the witnesses plus tampering with the 'accident' scene. All this because Samora Machel supported the African National Congress.
