I thought I'd check on the critical reception of Jerry Bruno's "The Advance Man" before submitting a recommendation for a book on politics.

The first link that came up was The New Yorker story. The first thing I saw was the typo or was it a scanning error? I'll see if I can find the microfiche.
For every semester each course gets a new image in our LMS (learning management system). One course, the gaming course, took a bit more time because I'd program a list of objects to create a pattern, e.g., a list of fish with each fish rotated slightly from the previous one. The only concern was getting the image cropped and resized.
For many years, Photopea.com, a free online graphics editor was a quick reliable way to do image editing. The default file type was PhotoShop's PSD file. For the minimal needs of me and my students it was fine. By minimal I mean cropping, magic selection, and exporting an image at different qualities to see the relationship between file size and quality. Everything else was, as far as I was concerned, a bonus for those who had artistic ability.
When I tried to use Photopea yesterday the app froze, weird things happened when I tried to crop the image. I loaded the image (left below), used the magic wand to select and then delete the background. The crop started out fine, but froze when I tried to remove the pixels (right below).
