ruthless careerism, but as the Pulitzer Prize–winning critics Mark Stevens and
Annalyn Swan write in their new biography,
Francis Bacon: Revelations,
the reality turned out to be more haunting. Beginning in 1972, Bacon regularly
checked into the hotel room where Dyer died. He slept in the same bed where
Dyer had cheated on him; he sat on the toilet where Dyer took his last breath.

For 129 years, Vogue magazine has been the world’s most prestigious style bible. Nina-Sophia Miralles looks back at the moguls, models and eccentric editors that made it a success – even during the Blitz

Lynette Jaramillo, co-founder and chief executive officer of Casa de La Luz hospice died from heart failure on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at the age of 78.Â
She was at home in the arms of her husband and with her daughter when she passed away, said her son William Jaramillo II. She was pronounced dead at Banner University Medical Hospital.Â
âIt was just a beautiful end of life, you know, being with her loved ones,â said Jaramillo II. âThe reason she started the hospice was so that nobody died alone.âÂ

People today complain of the commercialism of Christmas, from advertisements that begin in September to Black Friday sales that never end. There was plenty of wheeling and dealing at Christmas a century ago, too.
In Jacksonville in 1902, the papers were filled with ads offering everything possible at Christmas, from the everyday to the ridiculous. Indeed, the Christmas crush kept cash registers jingling across the city.
In the days before television, radio and the internet, Christmas shoppers relied on display ads in newspapers, which shamelessly tempted consumers with almost anything, under the pretense of yuletide.
