  • Plague Diary by Margaret Porter Troupe
    Plague Diary Margaret Porter Troupe, Graham Court Apartments, Harlem, New York City April 4, 2020 By the time I start this diary, I’ve been sheltering in since March 20th. The last person who’s visited us inside the apartment was Monique Clesca. She came to lunch here. We sat apart and neither of us wore facemasks. We elbow bumped and didn’t shake hands or kiss. I waited 14 days to see if I had symptoms of Covid-19. The police arrived yesterday and made the people who hang out in A. Phillip Randolph Square Park, (formerly Dewey Square), drinking, loitering, littering, and just being an eyesore and nuisance, leave the park. This little triangular park is directly across the street from Graham Court and where Miles Davis and other beboppers playing at Minton’s during the 1940s used to come to shoot up or do whatever they did there in-between sets. Minton’s is around the corner on 118th Street between 7th Avenue and St. Nicholas. The police or parks people removed the benches too and put up a chicken-wire fence at the entrances to keep people out. Now those people come across the street and congregate under the scaffolding in front of Graham Court. There’s a lot of drug dealing going on too. It feels quite a bit more unsafe around here lately. Must keep antenna raised for trouble. Woke up today thinking about my friend Cynthia, who was sounding scary to me yesterday as we discussed how we’re both feeling. I’ve been having congestion the last eight days and she has been having symptoms too but don’t know whether to attribute them to her blood pressure medication, pollen (it’s Spring now and everything’s bursting in bloom) or the novel coronavirus, Covid-19.

On what is arguably the most influential show in television history, she has gotten her guests—often the biggest celebrities in the world—to bare their love lives, explore their painful pasts, admit their transgressions, reveal their pleasures, and explore their demons. In turn, Oprah has repeatedly allowed her audience to share in her own life story, opening up about the sexual abuse in her past and discussing her romantic relationships, her weight problems, her spiritual beliefs, her charitable donations, and her strongly held views on the state of the world.After a quarter of a century of the Oprah-ization of America, can there be any more secrets left to reveal? Yes. Because Oprah has met her match.Kitty Kelley has, over the same period of time, fearlessly and relentlessly investigated and written about the world’s most revered icons: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan, England’s Royal Family, and the Bush dynasty. In her #1 bestselling biographies, she has exposed truths and exploded myths to uncover the real human beings that exist behind their manufactured facades.Turning her reportorial sights on Oprah, Kelley has now given us an unvarnished look at the stories Oprah’s told and the life she’s led.
