To be fair to the legacy of Warhol, it may not really matter in the end what kind of person he was. It may have mattered to those who loved him, the characters Leamer chronicles.But as Warhol’s art becomes a chapter in history, his reality takes another dimension. He speaks to us, and the world, as Andy Warhol, the artist.

His art is a powerful statement on America, whether you ever knew him as a person or not. The characters in his life, even if they are gorgeous and tragic, are mere footnotes.In 1966, Warhol told a young reporter that he preferred to stay a mystery.“I never have time to think about the real Andy Warhol,” he said.

From the murder of a Neanderthal-like man to the infamous“Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder” provides a sarcastic, witty and quirky look at the history of a rather simple tool often found at the scene of a crime: an axe.

Rachel McCarthy James spends each chapter of “Whack Job” detailing an instance where “axe murder” has occurred, but for true crime fans the book might not make the cut.

Instead of looking at the gory details and dramatizing events, James examines the social-economic, political issues and human nature that caused these individuals to befall their fate to an axe. As such, the book, while having a true crime element, is ultimately a history crash course on the axe’s evolution — from a survival tool in 430,000 BCE to a modern-day weapon of murder.from the Commerce Department showed that consumer prices increased 2.5% in February from a year earlier, matching January’s annual pace. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 2.8% compared with a year ago, higher than January’s figure of 2.7%.

Economists watch core prices because they are typically a better guide of where inflation is headed. The core index has barely changed in the past year. Inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, making it difficult for the central bank to cut its key interest rateThe report also showed that consumer spending rebounded last month after falling by the most in four years in January. Yet much of the additional spending reflected price increases, with inflation-adjusted spending barely rising. The weak figure suggests growth is rapidly slowing in the first three months of this year as consumers and businesses turn cautious amid sharp changes in government policies.

“Inflation too hot and spending too cold,” said Stephen Brown, an economist at Capital Economics, a consulting firm, in an email. “The Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates this year.”Brown estimates that economic growth could fall to zero in the first three months of this year,
