Look who turned 100 yesterday

Claude Lévi-Strauss

As Alex says, “he looks just like Levi!” It’s his namesake anyway, and yesterday he went and turned 100! We ought probably to have thought smarter than to name our litter after a baseball player, a bevy of artistic types and an anthropologist (not the jeans man, alas); a Wall Street tycoon (if there is still such a thing), shark lawyer, and brain surgeon might bode better for our retirement. No matter – we’ll celebrate Levi’s namesake a day late with pain au chocolat and a trip to the NICU!
