Abortion pill politics: Jesse Kremer likes what he sees in Arizona and Arkansas

Jesse is running unopposed for re-election to a 2nd term in the Assembly.  (He won the GOP primary in 2014 with 38.6% of the vote and was unopposed in the general election.)

As reported in Jesse Kremer to propose requiring doctors to notify patients of 'abortion reversal'.  (Madison.com, 7/1/2016)

Doctor began abortion reversal movement.  (San Diego Union-Tribune, 4/11/2015)

Jesse didn't come up with this himself. Activists in both states relied on Delgado’s work with the hormone progesterone to push for amendments requiring health providers who prescribe abortion medications to tell patients that “it may be possible to reverse the effects of the abortion if the pregnant woman changes her mind, but that time is of the essence.” 

Those words, which are part of a bill that Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson signed into law April 6, were inspired by a short case report that Delgado co-authored in the journal Annals of Pharmacotherapy. A nearly identical sentence was part of the legislation that Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed on March 30.

John Petersen Warwick, Adman Behind the Timex 'Torture Test' Campaign, Dies at 90.  (Advertising Age, 7/1/2016)

One of the most famous campaigns under Mr. Warwick's stewardship at the agency was the Timex "Torture Test." It was the first network TV campaign for Timex, which began at Hirshon-Garfield in 1956 and was moved to Warwick & Legler two years later. In the commericals, celebrity newscaster John Cameron Swayze conducted "torture tests" on the watch, including a live 1958 television spot to demonstrate the watch's durability after being attached to the front of a speedboat propeller in water.

"He took it to a new level with John Cameron Swayze and the speedboat propeller," Brian Warwick said. "It catapulted the brand."

How the Boston Store is dealing with wardrobing

Don't Even Think About Returning That Dress.  (Bloomberg, 9/26/2013)

Many merchants have long lived by the mantra that the customer is always right, adopting liberal return policies in hopes of winning the loyalty of free-spending shoppers. But with a recent increase in the wearing and subsequent return of expensive clothes—a practice merchants call wardrobing—many retailers are taking a stronger stand against the industry’s $8.8 billion-a-year return fraud problem.

And why would I even care about this or go to the bother of taking these photographs? you mght be wondering.

Well, as I explained it in a letter to my brother and sister-in-law.

[My wife] and I spent an hour at the West Towne Mall Boston Store yesterday evening, although it seemed longer than that. The purpose of this shopping trip was for her to buy a dress for the wedding we are attending tomorrow in Oak Park, Illinois.  She tried on more than a dozen -- probably closer to 20. In the process, we must have at least eyeballed every single dress in the store's substantial inventory. Flowery patterns seem to be the predominate style for the summer of 2016. 

While she tried on the dresses, I stood near the entrance to the fitting rooms, ready to offer a requested critique. A few times, I didn't have to say a word, as a grimace of disapproval immediately registered on my face. At one point, I thought we might have to leave the store empty-handed and repeat the process at Macy's Hilldale. It was shaping up to be a brutal night.

Fortunately, a Calvin Klein number came to the rescue.

40 years of Gallup polls show that a substantial majority of American think that abortion should be legal. 

According to Gallup polling, the number of American adults identifying as 'pro-choice' has increased 9 percentage points since 2012.  (Perhaps recent poll numbers help to explain the current Republican assault on Planned Parenthood.)

Frank Sinatra's version appeared on a 4-disc set of 78 rpm records, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, released on March 4, 1946.



Otis Redding's version made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 3, 1966.  It spent 10 weeks on the chart, peaking at #25.

In an inspired bit of programing, guest DJ Carly Simon played these 2 versions of this classic song back-to-back.
