News of the Week: Olivia Is Popular, Jetpacks Are Real, and the Best Cereal of All-Time Is …

What’s in a Name?
I don’t see a lot of new babies being named Robert these days. I used to have such a popular name. What happened?
The Social Security Administration is out with the list of the most popular baby names for 2020, and it’s pretty much the same list it was last time. The top male name is Liam and the top female name is Olivia. Other names in the top ten include Noah, Oliver, James, Emma, Ava, and Mia.
At that link you can see how the most popular names have changed over the years and even check lists by decade and by state. It’s interesting to see how names that were popular in the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s — names like David and Steven and Mary and Patricia — barely register in an era of Elijahs and Harpers. William and Elizabeth are still pretty popular though.

cartoon is endlessly malleable, able to serve as a staple of children’s programming even as it questions gender norms (e.g. Bugs Bunny) or functions as a proponent of U.S. foreign policy (may I introduce you to U.S. soft power ambassador Donald Duck?).
Artist
Paul Pescador is interested in cartoons for those reasons but for many others, too: their saturated color, their emotionality — cartoons are pure melodrama — and their ability to render bodies in inventive ways. “There is no more abstract version of the body than the cartoon,” says Pescador. “You shift a pencil line and you make something more curved, and you make it more feminine. It can make this remarkable change to how the body is constructed.”

He grew up near Symphony Hall, but Martin Bookspan’s love for classical music was not initially ignited by a concert at the venerable venue. The spark came from his family’s most treasured possession in the depths of the Depression: an Atwater Kent radio.
