Editor's note

We are very sorry to announce that Peter David, our Washington bureau chief, Lexington columnist and former foreign editor, died in a car accident on Thursday night. He had worked at The Economist since 1984 and was a much-loved colleague and friend. We will pay fuller tribute to him in next week’s issue.

Today, at 86, Delpire seems to sum up his accomplishments with a deceptively simple statement: “A publisher’s job is to showcase the work of others,” says Delpire. “It’s not just the work of a team; it requires deep mutual understanding. I’ve never published anyone who was of no interest to me.”
The Pace/MacGill Delpire tribute opens May 10 in New York City. Five simultaneous companion exhibitions across the city will expand on Delpire’s work.

Édouard Manet's In the Garden of the Villa Bellevue
View Poster

Édouard Manet, born on this date in 1832, was a painter who greatly influenced impressionists, though he chose not to be identified as one himself. Many of his works scandalized the French, who were especially shocked by his paintings of nudes. In his Luncheon on the Grass a young female sits nude, having lunch with several fully clothed men. When the Salon refused to show the painting, Manet submitted it to the Salon des Refusés, where it was hung and still drew criticism for what viewers considered lewd content.

[Middle English, from Old English til, from Old Norse.]

USAGE NOTE Till and until are generally interchangeable in both writing and speech, though as the first word in a sentence until is usually preferred: Until you get that paper written, don't even think about going to the movies. • Till is actually the older word, with until having been formed by the addition to it of the prefix un-, meaning "up to." In the 18th century the spelling 'till became fashionable, as if till were a shortened form of until. Although 'till is now nonstandard, 'til is sometimes used in this way and is considered acceptable, though it is etymologically incorrect.
