Hey, here's a thing ...
I've just learned that Whites Aviation was the company of Leo White – whose grandson is ace news and feature photographer David White.
David's dad Ross White was a photographer too.

Hard News: Friday Music: Just William, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Let’s not forget that the seemingly indefatigable William Dart not only did reviews for Rip It Up (I remember many a deadline with late night trips to retrieve a review from his letterbox)
Me too!
I recall the first time I actually got to go inside and behold William's vast basement record library ...

It was the aural equivalent of close reading – making you slow down and notice what was happening in a recording.
Yes, that's a very good way of putting it.

Hard News: On the Clark candidacy, in reply to Bart Janssen,
It is possible that The Maori Party is neither everything to all Maori nor nothing to any Maori.
Something like that. My impression is that politically-aware Maori want the party to be there and see it as representing something important – even if they're not going to vote for it.
I would reiterate my respect for both the co-leaders. Not so sure about Tuku Morgan, but it's not my party.

Context is important all-round.
Which is why the boilerplate identitarian response "context isn't magic" always annoys me.
Well, no, it isn't, although it's often important. But neither is saying "context isn't magic".
