the doge ate my homework


Always wanted to say that (it was the caption
of a cartoon in the New Yorker). We're taking
a behind-the-scenes tour of the doge's
palace this morning. You get a real sense of the
machinations that went on in those rooms,
visit Casanova's cell up under the lead roof (hot
in summer, cold in winter), and see how he escaped.
