"Evening Cocoon, by Kate Browne, in Cragsmoor, New York. Beginning today, Browne will be building a large cocoon in the Plaza Tlatelolco (sight of the infamous 1968 massacre) in Mexico City. It will be lit on March 21st, the first day of spring."
The really interesting thing here is that "Evernote indexes handwritten notes and makes the text searchable."

I was googling through the LIfe magazine photo collection at Google, looking for more Freedom Rider photos, when I came across a set of images by staff photographer Robert W. Kelly. The web site says the pictures were taken at a Mississippi Democratic Convention, but there are no other details -- nothing identifying the subjects, the location or the date.
Based on a similar photo by Kelly at Getty Images, I think these were shot at the state Democratic convention in July 1956, ahead of the national Democratic convention the next month, in Chicago.
Kelly shot for Life from 1947 to 1966, and worked out of the Atlanta bureau for much of his time there. He died in 1991, at the age of 71. Obituary: http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19910912&slug=13...The full set of convention photos: http://tinyurl.com/ydnaykd

I'm pretty sure the bow-tied speaker above is James Stennis, who represented Mississippi in the Senate from 1947 to 1989.

This is James P. Coleman, who was elected governor of Mississippi in 1956, and was succeeded by Ross Barnett. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_P._Coleman
Coleman helped create the State Sovereignty Commission in 1956.
