Cycle may prove instructive

Bring out ye dead.
At first glance, University of Maryland scholar David Kirsch's Web site, www.businessplanarchive.org, may look like a library of failure, the kind of index in which no entrepreneur praying for a second chance would want to appear.

Medieval Cookbook Released to Public
Thu Jun 27, 3:35 PM ET
By SUE LEEMAN, Associated Press Writer
Chopped sparrow, roast swan, poached pike, conger eel, porpoise and lamprey: if it walked, swam or flew, the English medieval nobility ate it — usually with a dash of cinnamon, ginger or cloves — according to an ancient cookbook released to the public Thursday.
Dating from 1500, "A noble bok of festes ryalle and cokery, A bok for a Prynces housholde" is the earliest copy of a printed cookbook in English, according to the British Library.

use.

Is It O.K. to Wear Drag to a Museum Opening?
By PATRICIA LEIGH BROWN
SAN FRANCISCO -- This is a city inebriated by its own history. Of its many landmarks, perhaps not one is as intriguing as the disassembled remains of the Bulldog Baths, a gay bathhouse opened in the 1930's and closed at the height of the AIDS crisis, one of thousands of artifacts being preserved by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Historical Society.
