"Wisdom" check

Andrew Zuckerman photographed 51^ famous men and women aged 65+, everyone from Desmond Tutu to Vanessa Redgrave to Bryce Courtenay to Billie Jean King, and asked them to define wisdom. The results became a coffee table tome with an accompanying short fillum and a roadshow that's currently parked in the State Library Of NSW (and advertised on bus sheds around the city). "Wisdom" is free and I recommend it. They don't shut the doors until 8pm from Mon.-Thurs., so don't tell me it isn't convenient. I like the portrait of "Miffy" author and illustrator Dick Bruna. He looks about to burst into warm laughter.


^Why 51? The official numbering goes to 50, but there are two 48s - husband and wife designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli.
