The Yves Saint Laurent Museum has a new exhibition exploring one of the clothes designer’s main themes – flowers, part of his love of nature and also a name (‘les fleurs’) he used to call his models… With over thirty creations on display, this new exhibition is presented much like a book, with each chapter […]

The Marmottan Museum, which celebrates its 90th birthday this year, has a new exhibition on the vast and fascinating topic of trompe-l’œil – the representation of the real in art. And while the term trompe-l’œil was coined sometime around 1800, the art it describes existed many centuries previously, as the museum shows with over 80 […]

Plus qu’une simple exposition, le Musée Maillol (pas loin de nos hôtels) propose une rétrospective du travail de Nadia Khodossievitch-Léger, un des grands peintres du 20ème siècle, à travers plus de 150 œuvres. Nadia Léger a quasiment disparu de la mémoire collective, peut-être à cause de ses idées politiques, peut-être à cause de la prominence […]

Le Musée Zadkine, près du Jardin du Luxembourg et à quelques minutes de nos hôtels, propose une nouvelle exposition sur un sujet jamais exploré – le lien fort entre le sculpteur Zadkine et le peintre Modigliani, illustré à travers près de 90 œuvres (sculptures, peintures, dessins, photos…) Zadkine et Modigliani, tous les deux débarqués à […]

This week you should start seeing two new Epic beers arriving at your usual craft beer outlets. Epic Brooklyn OTP (One Trick Pony) is the next in a series of single hopped IPA’s. The Brooklyn hop is a brand new release from NZ Hops, and was made commercially available in December 2015, with Epic being the first brewery to place and order and brew with it. One Trick Pony beers all use the same recipe, and just replace the hop. The Brooklyn hop, as all the others before it (Zythos, Mosaic, Comet & Equinox) is added in three additions to […]

Happy Easter. I did a tasting of some of the Epic beers to see how they would match with hot cross buns.

The meaning of the title of this post is up for grabs in the Supreme Court in a vaccine case against drug company Wyeth, now owned by drug giant Pfizer. It's a complicated case in legalities, and which court should be hearing the arguments, and more jargon and nonsense.

What it's really about, is that a little girl was severely harmed by a vaccine years ago, and several years later that vaccine was removed from the market because it was so dangerous. Yet the courts say the proof is not there that the vaccine was at fault.

"...case turns on the text of the federal law, which bars ordinary lawsuits “if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.”

Much of the argument concerned the meaning of the word “unavoidable.”
“The language that they used is certainly, to say the least, confusing,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said." [NY TIMES]

The Obama administration sides with Wyeth. The record of the FDA in coming to the aid of US public health is so abominable, it makes the reference to it in the following quote worse than any Comedy Central punch line:

"The U.S. government filed a brief and argued on behalf of Wyeth, with assistant to the solicitor general Benjamin J. Horwich telling the court that the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control make determinations about which vaccines are safe and effective, and it should stay that way.

'It would be extraordinary to institute a system where juries would be second guessing a decision' by federal experts, he said." [Post-Gazette]

As they say in the movie business, "What a throw-away line!" Any jury would have the benefit of input from various experts from all sides--and in this age of skepticism of government oversight, from Katrina on down to the recent multi-million-egg recall, who wants to have the sole last word on vaccine safety be the FDA and CDC? Hands please?

"Justice Sonia Sotomayor, meanwhile, seemed to sympathize with the argument that manufacturers could keep less safe vaccines on the market without a legal incentive.

'What is the motivation for manufacturers to continue testing [vaccines] and voluntarily stopping [sales] if a better design is found somewhere else?' she asked. 'I don't see why they should stop before they cause as many injuries as they need to before the FDA tells them to stop.' " [Post-Gazette]
