the most interesting thing to me about this article (including the bit about the banana) is that the NY Times has two different page layouts for it

That's explained in the correction at the bottom:

> A correction was made on Jan. 3, 2024: A picture with an earlier version of this review was published in error. The image should have shown Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle, not Margaret Cavendish Bentinck, the Duchess of Portland.

Ah - this is a quite common error. They selected the duchess on the right when they should’ve passed the duchess on the left hand side.

Nice reference to the Musical Youth Song of 1982!

Cheers. Only waited 40+ years for it.
