ay with fire joni mitchell little green betty wright clean up woman bonnie raitt women be wise shirley bassey diamonds are forever mary lou williams what s your story morning glory the joy of cooking brownsville mockingbird esther phillips i m getting long alright in new york in the summer of 1971 most of her friends have gone out of town so diane arbus stays in her tiny apartment with its view of the hudson one envied by her neighbors she haunts the walker evans exhibit at the museum of modern art goes to movies in the afternoon a former classmate sees arbus slumped in a seat at the 68th street playhouse but the classmate depressed herself avoids talking to her arbus has already established her name moma has bought some of her photos but her finances are a mess she spent the past spring sparring with harper s over an expenses claim she picks up a few assignments fashion shows tricia nixon s wedding a black separatist minster in detroit hortense calisher s latest author photo calisher has the shots destroyed arbus has as she has for decades found her art in photographing her menagerie of freaks the misshapen the distorted those who hate their bodies those who bear them like scarred trophies eddie carmel the jewish giant of the bronx or a new jersey housewife who makes her pet macaque wear a baby s bonnet and snowsuit or an albino sword swallower the latter is the subject of one of arbus last photographs she stands before a carnival tent her arms outstretched the sword half down her throat the sword s hilt and the swallower s body each make a crucifix lately it s been striking me how i really love what i can t see in a photograph arbus tells her students in what will be the last photography class she teaches she lingers on the element of actual physical darkness it s very thrilling to see darkness again in 1971 the radio is full of women they ring across every narrow band with songs of reckonings and negotiations a marriage ends early one morning cloud strained daylight falling across the kitchen table another ends late one night with a call from a phone booth in irma thomas we won t be in your way anymore we never hear thomas husband as he surveys his empty home maybe he s stunned or screaming thomas just dissects the marriage disclosing she s been beaten in the last verse tells him where his wallet and keys are lets him know the kids will be all right now you done me wrong you done us wrong she sings at the fadeout those are her final words to him her phone call lasts only as long as the record two phases of irma thomas carole king s it s too late played everywhere that summer answers one fine day which king co wrote when she was 21 the wedding photos are in boxes in the closet the only conversations left are vague reminiscences about when they first met old friends names come up as punchlines to forgotten jokes the woman wakes one morning and knows she can t play her part anymore though she tries to cushion the blow king s piano chords slam close each verse and finally the song it s a wintry contrast to the ebullient piano line with which king had opened the chiffons track innocence at last bows to experience tapestry pat nixon at work in the white house ca 1971 in early 1971 lynn anderson s rose garden tops the pop and country charts its rhinestone arrangement and dancing melody make it fit for a nixon white house social yet its lyric is blunt as it is wise sung by a wife standing her ground brokering her humanity as with other songs hanging in the air that year it can be ground down to a single line it doesn t have to be this way it won t be this way any longer 16 greatest hits gloria steinem interviewing pat nixon on the campaign plane during the 68 election had asked nixon who her greatest influences had been when she was growing up who had she identified with pat nixon born in a nevada mining town had lost her mother to cancer and her father to silicosis before she was 18 she had made it through the depression taking any job she could find as a cashier an x ray tech sweeping floors in a bank she and her husband had clawed out of the hole with their fingernails she had endured the humiliation of having her husband beg for his vp slot on national television and she would endure worse in august 1974 smiling while her husband boarded a helicopter home to california so pat nixon looked at steinem took her measure drew a breath i never had time to dream about being someone else she said i had to work loretta lynn s one s on the way is on all time greatest hits new woman magazine hires arbus to shoot germaine greer who has recently helped to pummel norman mailer in a debate over feminism greer opens the door of her chelsea hotel room to see a rosepetal soft delicate girl struggling with her camera equipment greer six feet tall and imperious has sympathy yet once she s set up arbus commands greer to lie flat upon her hotel bed and nearly slams her wide angle lens into greer s face she baits greer asks intrusive personal questions snaps the shutter whenever greer tenses or snaps out an answer so greer makes her face a mask it was tyranny really tyranny greer later told patricia bosworth but because arbus was a woman i didn t tell her to fuck off if she d been a man i d have kicked her in the balls the session s a failure new woman rejects the photos also in the chelsea hotel while arbus wars with greer harry smith in room 705 playing skip james 78s for a visiting monk dennis hopper and terry southern stumbling out onto 23rd street

really and it lasted far longer than i expected so what now i m really not sure i d like to keep this place up if solely as a repository for the old stuff and i hope to keep doing some early 70s

of stuff around that the u s is not to be trusted with power you hear that our presidents lie us into wars you hear that the u s is imperial and aggressive but we build up our enemies after wars and
