In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at International Women's Day, AP's week, Bloody Sunday 1965, Can Manap, black-and-white emulsions, filters and Karen Russell.
