Surrogacy cases are cluster of people. Likewise, at my current favorite Disneyland attraction, the Tiki Room singalong is a whole flock of ridiculous 1960s animatronic birds of various cultural archetypes.

Michael Jackson is still popping up in the news. On July 20th, the current co-executors of his estate said to The Post, “The music of the greatest entertainer that ever lived, Michael Jackson, is in the hands of the number one publishing company in the world.” The executors were referring to a renewed deal between…
