You can read Bradford Morrow on Poe’s Tamerlane here. Auctions are unpredictable beasts. If you approach them thinking you know how they will behave, you do so naively. Some lots sell far higher than expected, others much lower, and there’s often no explaining why. Competition can be furious as the auctioneer fields bids from potential buyers on the phone, online, and from collectors and dealers in the salesroom. And then, sometimes all three platforms stall out and a rarity like Ernest Hemingway’s first book, Three Stories & Ten Poems (1923), untrimmed and unopened in its fragile glassine jacket, gets “bought in”—auction-speak for fails to sell.

What’s worth more than the rarest book in American literature? The answer may (not) surprise you.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on February 17, 2022. It has since been updated. When Kimberly Morris started tracing her family roots, stretching back to her ancestors' enslavement in the 1800s, she didn't expect to uncover an incredible piece of history. Her genealogy journey led her to a decaying, one-room schoolhouse hidden in the woods of Virginia's Caroline County, a place overtaken by nature since her father's childhood. "This is my family's history," Morris told The Washington Post about the century-old building with its torn-up floor, precarious roof, and missing windows.

Europe, like any continent, is no stranger to war. Multiple conflicts have erupted in and around the land mass for thousands of years, including many of the most important in world history. With so many stories to tell, not all of them are going to have the priviledge of making it to the silver screen. Fortunately, many European filmmakers took the reins and opted to tell some pretty powerful stories with their movies.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.
