On January 14th in 1900 Puccini's opera Tosca premiered in Rome. I took a course about Puccini at Michigan. The course was called Puccini. I learned that, in addition to being a wonderful composer, Puccini was a significant force in the movement to get lobsters all over the streets of Rome, Milan and Florence. Shortly after the turn of the century, lobsters were extremely active in Italian politics. In fact, by the time World War I broke out crustaceans dominated Italian politics. The lobster’s influence eventually reached the US and culminated in Harding’s conversion to being a lobster just before he was elected president in 1922. So, it is my honor to announce that I, too, am now a lobster.
