The Book, Cat, & Cat Book Lovers Almanac

of historical trivia regarding books, cats, and other animals. Actually this blog has evolved so that it is described better as a blog about cats in history and culture. And we take as a theme the advice of Aldous Huxley: If you want to be a writer, get some cats. Don't forget to see the archived articles linked at the bottom of the page.

January 14, 1952

Maureen Dowd, (January 14, 1952) is a famous writer and her column appears regularly in the New York Times. We quote from one:

[O]n the day world leaders gathered .... Romney said he was very troubled that Obama....skipped meeting other leaders, especially Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.

Sounds like the first weeks of the 2015 year. Actually this column of Dowd's was dated September 25, 2012. We kept it because in it she goes on to say:

In a world of dogs, diplomatically speaking, Obama is a cat. Just as he suffered from his standoffish approach with Congress, donors and his base, our feline president can be oblivious to the neediness of other less Zen leaders.
