bh: I used to spend a lot of time in this place when I was a little kid. Seeing this photo brought up the funny bits of memories I have about it. For example, I remember the giant number 5 that covered the wall of fifth floor by the elevators. I remember spinning around and around in one of the desk chairs in the newsroom. I remember meeting Ben Bradlee while clinging to my mothers leg and attempting to hide myself behind her dress. I remember the chocolate pudding in the cafeteria and the odd mural of strangely colored elipses painted on the glazed bricks in the hallway. And of course, the wall of glass in the lobby that looks down on to the presses made an impression.
I wonder how much that place has changed.

Vladimir Nabokov’s first important American catch, taken on June 9, 1941, from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. He named it Neo-nympha dorothea for Dorothea Leuthold, a friend who drove the Nabokovs west on the trip and “kicked up” the first specimen, enabling the butterfly’s discovery.
