The Morgue Lives!
It is a cramped basement annex, stacked high with metal filing cabinets, full of three-fourths of a million pounds of old newspaper clippings and photos, going back 160 years.
It’s simply called “the morgue.”
To get here, a reporter must leave the shiny glass tower that is the 40th Street headquarters of the New York Times, walk a half-block down the street, and descend three levels below the sidewalk. There, in a nondescript tower, she will emerge from a dirty elevator, walk past a janitor’s closet, then past a giant, rusted pump contraption with running water, and finally reach a pair of metal doors. There are glue traps with belly-up cockroaches in the corner.
A really interesting read.

Polyglot vs. Multilingual
What’s the difference between these two concepts? Are they interchangable? And what level of profficiency is needed to identify as either one of these?
Lately, I’ve come across a lot of people who seem to identify as polyglots though their stories concerning the subject would suggest they are still at a very superficial level of learning.
