The only color available was purple. The buyer was Jennie Jerome (later Winsto ...

| | | | Williams College: Encyclopedia - Walter Kaufmann Walter Arnold Kaufmann (July 1, 1921 - September 4, 1980) was a 20th-century Jewish German philosopher, scholar, and poet. He produced much original philosophy, most of which was on subjects related to what would now be called authenticity. He also wrote on, among other things, atheism, tragedy, and Shakespeare. His translations of Nietzsche and his anthology of existentialist works, such as Existentialism from Dostoevsky to Sartre, are also celebrated works of his.
Kaufmann believed that critical analysis and acqu ...

| | | | Williams College: Encyclopedia II - Tlön Uqbar Orbis Tertius - Fact and fiction in Tlön Uqbar Orbis Tertius It is by no means simple to sort out fact and fiction within this story. The picture is further complicated by the fact that other authors (both in print and on the web) have chosen to join Borges in his game and write about one or another fictional aspect of this story either as if it were non-fiction or in a manner that could potentially confuse the unwary reader. A few online examples are:
The Italian-language http://www.uqbar.it treats Tlön itself as duly fictional, but writes as if the fictional Silas Haslam's entirely ima ...

| | | | Williams College: Encyclopedia II - Stockbridge Massachusetts - History Stockbridge was first settled in 1734 and was officially incorporated in 1739.

| | | | Williams College: Encyclopedia II - Stephen Sondheim - Career At about the age of ten, around the time of his parents' divorce, Sondheim became friends with Jimmy Hammerstein. Jimmy's father was the well-known lyricist and playwright Oscar Hammerstein II. Hammerstein became something of a surrogate father to Sondheim, as the young man (for obvious reasons) attempted to stay away from home as much as possible. To say that Hammerstein was an influence on Sondheim is to make a gross understatement; if Oscar had been a geologist, Sondheim observed later in life, he probably would have become one too. Durin ...
