Lesbian Connection Established in 1974 by the lesbian-feminist collective Ambitious Amazons based in East Lansing Michigan, Lesbian Connection (LC or Elsie) is the longest-running publication for lesbians in the United States. The founders of LC sought to create the first free, national lesbian newspaper to encourage the growth and interconnectivity of lesbian communities across the country. "It occurred to us that no matter how many artists created lesbian albums, books, or posters, or how many activists organized lesbian groups, centers, or conferences, it all would be basically pointless if other lesbians had no way of knowing these things existed. In an attempt to fill this need for a worldwide lesbian communications network, we decided to start Lesbian Connection, a free worldwide magazine for lesbians" (Margy Lesher, editor of Lesbian Connection, from "The Lesbian Press" in Jan Whitt, Women in American Journalism: A New History p. 163. Interview with the author, Dec. 9, 2003). In an attempt to represent the diversity of lesbians across the nation, all content in Lesbian Connection is submitted by readers. The publication is essentially a readers' forum, as opposed to a more common format that combines content produced by the publishing collective with reader submissions.
Upon establishment, Lesbian Connection was unique from existing publications of its genre for its nation-wide geographical scope, open submission policy, and its now international "Contact Dykes" list that made available the names and telephone numbers of women willing to provide information about lodging, restaurants, and activities to other women travelling in the area. Also uncommon at the time of LC's conception, the publication was (and still is) offered to all lesbians free of charge, with a suggested donation that has generally increased over time. As Lesher explained, "Our point was to help the lesbian movement grow. Accessibility was important. Being free was important. We didn't want a lack of money to stop anyone" (Lesher, unpublished history of Lesbian Connection, 1999, from Women in American Journalism, p. 164).
Issues of Lesbian Connection typically include news of court cases, festivals, cultural events, demonstrations, and lesbian resources (such as publications, organizations, businesses, books, music, and films). It does not publish fiction, personal ads, or requests for pen pals.

Vegetables Vegetables.
Few things are more commonly cooked than vegetables, and few things are served more often in an unwholesome and unpalatable form. It is too often thought and said that "any one can cook vegetables," and it is true that few cook them well. Of course, much depends on the freshness and quality of the vegetables themselves, even when well cooked. Green vegetables are never so fine as when freshly gathered, and all vegetables are best in their season, the forced ones lacking in quality and flavor. For chemical reasons cook young green vegetables in hard salted water, and dry vegetables, as dry peas, lima and other beans in soft water, without salt. Put them on in freshly boiling water, boil continuously until tender and drain at once. Have them neither underdone or overdone, if you would have them perfect. Especially is this true of potatoes. Wilted green vegetables may be freshened by sprinkling with cold water. Old potatoes may be improved by soaking in cold water for several hours. Dried beans and peas should be soaked over night in soft water. To keep celery and lettuce fresh roll in a damp napkin and place on ice. When green peas are growing old add a pinch of Wyandotte soda to make them tender.

The following is all I know about cooking squirrels. First catch your squirrel. Skin him, etc. Parboil in a little water in a kettle, add salt, pepper, and enough butter to fry it brown. Then eat. If the animal is tough parboil a little more till he is tender.

How to Preserve a Husband HOW TO PRESERVE A HUSBAND.
Be careful in your selection, do not choose too young, and take only such varieties as have been reared in a good moral atmosphere. When once decided upon and selected, let that part remain forever settled, and give your entire thought to preparation for domestic use. Some insist on keeping them in a pickle, while others are constantly getting them into hot water. Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender, and good by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with smiles, and flavored with kisses, to taste; then wrap well in a mantle of charity, keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream. When thus prepared they will keep for years.

CFNC program book: Rogelio Martínez Furé Martínez Furé and other scholars who went on to become major figures in folklore and Afrocubanist studies studied with León in a series of seminars on folklore and ethnographic research (Moore 2006). Rogelio Martínez Furé founded the ensemble with the Mexican choreographer Rodolfo Reyes, who soon departed. Ramiro Guerra, who founded the Modern Dance Ensemble of Cuba, did some work with the CFNC and was apparently influential in the techniques, but likewise did not remain with the group. Roberto Espinosa Amor and later Manolo Micler were the main choreographers during the first three decades.

Abakuá concert program cover This is the reproduction of the cover of a concert program for abakuá music. The original concert was part of a series produced by Argelier León between 1959 and 1962. This one was of Abakuá music and the program notes include an essay about abakuá music and a transcription of some of the songs. The cover shows the ritual writing, a set of graphic symbols denoting important elements of the group's history and cosmology. I received a copy of the program at an event at Casa de Africa in 2011.
