# Duane's Depressed

Duane's Depressed is a 1999 American novel by Larry McMurtry. McMurtry said it was one of his favorite works.
It is the third in a series of novels about Duane Moore from The Last Picture Show. McMurtry later wrote, " I never thought of Duane as me. Except for a handful of passages — the chapters in Duane’s Depressed that describe his depression — the books aren’t autobiographical. He doesn’t know what I know, despite having been forced by his analyst to read Proust."

## Reception

Kirkus wrote "There’s a scarcity of story here, but McMurtry obviously enjoys these folks so much he can’t resist hanging out with them for 400-plus pages. You probably won’t be able to either."
The New York Times wrote that:
   Duane's Depressed is guilty of neither the self-indulgence nor the sentimentality a less poised writer than McMurtry might have allowed himself in the last book of a trilogy he had lived with for so many years. Indeed, he proves again that he is as clear-eyed a writer as anyone in the business. He understands counterpoint wonderfully, knows when to balance pathos with humor, irony with admiration. But he does allow himself to get away with some things he shouldn't. At times the book's plot seems forced: certain deaths happen too neatly, as if McMurtry felt the need to leave a tidy house behind at trilogy's end.

# Aćim Čumić

Aćim Čumić (Serbian Cyrillic: Аћим Чумић; 1836 – 27 July 1901) was a Serbian jurist and politician who served as Prime Minister of the Principality of Serbia.

## Biography

Aćim Čumić studied and completed his law degree at the universities in Heidelberg and Paris. He worked as a high school professor, then in court. He was appointed Professor of Criminal Law at the Grandes écoles (Velika škola) in 1865. He participated in the work of the Constitutional Committee of 1868 and was noted for his eloquence and for suggesting that the government was to be placed under the control of the State Council, and not the Assembly.
He was a politician of conservative orientation, sharing similar beliefs with older politicians such as Ilija Garašanin and Jovan Marinović. He was the leader of a group of young conservatives.
In 1871, he became president of the Belgrade municipality but was soon overthrown by the Liberal deputy, headed by Jovan Ristić. He then opened his law practice in Belgrade, and from 1873 to 1874, he was Minister of the Interior in Prime Minister Marinović's cabinet.
On 25 November 1874, Čumić replaced Marinović, who resigned, and became prime minister himself. As the government did not enjoy the confidence of the National Assembly, Čumić was replaced after another three months, on 22 January 1875. He was then appointed Judge of the Court of Cassation.
He was arrested by the Liberal government in 1878 for alleged involvement in the Topola Mutiny and was sentenced to death together with Jevrem Marković and Ilija Milosavljević Kolarac. He was later pardoned and received a commuted sentence of 10 years in prison instead. Marković was the only one executed. Čumić and Kolarac were released from prison after the fall of the Ristić government in 1880. Later, Čumić ceased his engaging in politics.
During the 1880s he was a government representative ('commissioner') of the Serbian Railways Construction and Exploitation organization. He was very involved in raising the Ilija M. Kolarac Endowment.
He was a member of the Serbian Learned Society and an honorary member of the Serbian Royal Academy since 1892. He served as a senator during the Kingdom of Serbia in 1901.

# Hôtel de Ville, Nice

The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation:, City Hall) is a historic building in Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, southern France, standing on Rue Saint-François de Paule.

## History

The building was commissioned as part of a masterplan instigated by Louis XIV, in 1706, to reclaim the Pré-aux-Oies area of Nice which had previously been marshland. After sanitation had been installed, Rue Saint-François de Paule was the first street to be laid out. Located on the north side of the street, the building was originally conceived as a seminary. It was designed in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar stone and the first phase was completed in 1722. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing onto Rue Saint-François de Paule. The original design of the five-storey building was austere: it was fenestrated with tall casement windows with shutters on all floors. There were iron grills on the windows on the ground floor, and segmental pediments above the windows on the second floor.
In 1792, Victor Amadeus III of Sardinia declared war on Revolutionary France, and his officers requisitioned the building for use as military barracks. After the city was conquered by troops of the French First Republic later that year, the barracks were occupied by French republican troops. The building remained in military use until 1804, when it became a gendarmerie. Following the fall of Napoleon in 1815, it was acquired by Saint-Roch Hospital for medical use. The new Saint-Roch Hospital on Rue Pierre Dévoluy was completed in 1858, and the building on Rue Saint-François de Paule then reverted to being a gendarmerie.
The building was acquired by Nice City Council in 1866, and was converted for municipal use to a design by the city architect, François Aune. Council officers relocated from their old accommodation at the Palais communal de Nice in Place Saint-François into their new home on Rue Saint-François de Paule in 1868.
Following the election of Jean Médecin as mayor of Nice in 1928, the council decided to remodel the building in the Art Deco style. A major programme of external works was carried out to a design by Nicolas Anselmi, and the interior was redecorated to a design by Clément Goyenèche. The external works included the installation of a two-storey portico, formed by six two storey Doric order columns supporting a balcony, on the Rue Saint-François de Paule, as well as the creation of a new courtyard entrance on Rue de Hôtel de Ville i.e. the east side of the building. A sculpture depicting a 6 feet (1.8 m) high thumb, designed by César Baldaccini, was installed in the new courtyard in 1965.
Further internal modifications were made in 1967 to a design by Émile Rous. A plaque, intended to commemorate the lives of 17 resistance fighters from the 1st Canton who died in the Second World War was installed in the courtyard and restored in the early 21st century. Individual plaques commemorating the lives of the resistance fighters, Jean Marius-Gordolon and Joseph Giuge, both of whom died close to the building, were fixed to the main façade of the building.
