✖ Via Little Ego by Vittorio Giardino, Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 1989, 48 p.
Vittorio Giardino (born December 24, 1946), is an Italian comic artist. Giardino was born in Bologna, where he graduated in electrical engineering in 1969. At the age of 30, he decided to leave his job and devote himself to comics. Two years later his first short story Pax Romana was published in La Città Futura, a weekly magazine published by the Federazione Giovanile Comunista Italiana and edited by Luigi Bernardi. […] Starting in 1984, Giardino produced a number of short stories for the Italian magazine Comic Art, where he introduced Little Ego, a young and sexy girl inspired by Winsor McKay’s Little Nemo who stars in one-page dreamy erotic stories.

 | Mais l’accusation a buté sur le pourquoi des actes de celui qui, comme l’avait indiqué à l’audience le témoin Jean-Pierre Mustier, « vivra et mourra comme étant le trader au monde ayant fait perdre le plus d’argent à sa banque ». « Fou ou incompétent?” a demandé Jean-Michel Aldebert. Philippe Bourion avait évoqué une autre hypothèse: celle d’une « variante financière du bovarysme, qui consiste à se voir autrement que l’on est, à se donner des sensations fortes”. “Il y aura un avant et un après Kerviel dans les banques”, a affirmé le procureur, tout en s’interrogeant sur la capacité du système à lutter contre un nouveau « génie dévastateur ». |

✖ Via Pasa La Vida: “Professor’s Dream” by Charles Robert Cockerell, 1848
Although he built comparatively little, and only one of his buildings - the Ashmolean Museum and Taylorian Institute in Oxford - remains in the public eye, C.R. Cockerell (1788-1863) is described in Howard Colvin’s A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects (3rd ed., 1995) as ‘at once the most fastidious and the least pedantic of English neo-classical architects’, and by a leading architectural historian of the period as quite simply ‘the greatest English neo-classical architect of the 19th century’ (Frank Salmon, Building on Ruins, Aldershot 2000, p.144).
