1922--HAROLD F. McCORMICK WEDS GANNA WALSKA IN PARIS---DUDLEY FIELD MALONE, WITNESS
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
Now this is a strange little article from 1922 concerning opera singer Ganna Walska---and Croton's Dudley Field Malone. Click on the images below. You may recall that the late Robert Scott deemed Malone worthy of a two-parter in his CHRONICLES OF CROTON'S BOHEMIA series. READ THAT HERE.
As for Ganna Walska, Ganna Walska (born Hanna Puacz on June 26, 1887 – March 2, 1984)--she was a Polish opera singer and garden enthusiast who created the Lotusland botanical gardens at her mansion in Montecito, California. Ganna Walska was a coloratura soprano with a vocal range of approximately 2.5 octaves. She was married six times, four times to wealthy husbands. The lavish promotion of her lackluster opera career by her fourth husband, Harold Fowler McCormick, inspired aspects of the screenplay for Citizen Kane. READ MORE HERE.

Dept. of Justice appeals federal district court's ruling Sarcone is serving unlawfully
BY Spectrum News Staff Albany
PUBLISHED 3:42 PM ET Jan. 23, 2026
The U.S. Department of Justice on Friday appealed a federal judge's Jan. 8 opinion and order stating John Sarcone III is unlawfully serving in his position as acting U.S. attorney overseeing the Northern District of New York.
The move also appeals the quashing of Sarcone's August subpoenas against state Attorney General Letitia James' office, seeking records about civil cases brought against President Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association.
An additional motion asks the District Court judge to stay the ruling pending appeal. MORE AT Dept. of Justice appeals district court's ruling on Sarcone
