Item 66 is a copy of the Circus Magazine and Program for the 1953 Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. It includes an essay from Ernest Hemingway entitled The Circus. In it he writes, "The Circus is the only ageless delight that you can buy for money. Everything else is supposed to be bad for you. But the Circus is good for you." This was a piece of expert advice, as Hemingway was quite familiar with those ageless delights which are bad for you. $125.
