Denby states his reasons clearly: Brooks transformed popular comedy, turning it into “a celebration of the body and an assault on death.” Friedan kicked off second-wave feminism, teaching women “to dismiss humiliation (and) confront anger.” Mailer created new forms of American prose and virtually invented “the bad Jewish boy.” And Bernstein wrote Broadway shows, popularized classical music and became one of the great conductors of the 20th century.

Fertilize trees with a slow-release product.Get pruning. Most deciduous trees and shrubs (those that lose their leaves in autumn), including fruit trees, should be pruned before they emerge from dormancy. But hold off on pruning spring bloomers until just after their flowers fade.

Similarly, relocate trees and shrubs while they’re still dormant. Be sure to dig up as much of their root systems as possible and replant into a hole that’s twice as wide but exactly as deep.
