In the News (Sat 22 Nov 08)

  
  The Life and Times of Don Marquis
Marquis, belonging to an earlier generation of New York wits, wasn't a regular at the famous Algonquin Round Table, but he was welcome in their company.
Marquis spent much of his time at the Players, a private club made famous for its membership of actors, artists and writers, and it was there that Marquis delivered one of his most memorable quips.
Marquis could not bear this final assault; his health spiraled downward, and the last year of his life was pitiable.

 Archy and Mehitabel
Marquis was a writer for The Evening Sun in New York when, in 1916, he introduced Archy the cockroach in his daily column, The Sun Dial.
Marquis wouldn't give a name to the cat for several months yet, but eleven years later Mehitabel's name was slipped into the opening text when it was republished in a book, the first of many editions of the beloved "archy and mehitabel."
Marquis used his newspaper and magazine columns to comment on the events of the day, good and bad, exposing a progressive heart and an increasingly cynical soul.

 FMC Magazine - October 1999 The Marquis 2000
The exterior lines of the Marquis 2000 feature a new look, as Beaver designers have moved away from employing the flat, bus-style nose formerly used on this model.
As in previous Marquis models, Beaver has created a single-piece fiberglass slideout roof that is shaped to facilitate runoff, thus eliminating the need for topper-style awnings.
Among the many standard Marquis features are solar panels, window awnings, a Girard smart awning, electric locking bay doors, a Sony DVD player, a Datron 3000 digital satellite system, a Bose-engineered sound system, a 10-kilowatt Onan Quiet Diesel generator, and an HWH four-point computerized air/hydraulic leveling system.

 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis Safety, Powertrain - Intellichoice Review - Automobile Magazine
The Grand Marquis has long been equated with safety, and it’s the only car to win, nine years running, the government’s five-star rating for driver and front-passenger frontal crash tests.
In side-impact testing, the Grand Marquis scores five stars for front and rear seat when equipped with the side bags, without the additional protection, the front is rated at four stars.
The Marquis floats on its soft suspension, so it feels less maneuverable than large cars that are better damped, such as the Chrysler 300 and even Mercury’s own Montego.

 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis - Intellichoice Review - Automobile Magazine
The Grand Marquis is available in five trim packages, ranging from the base GS to the decked-out LS 30th Anniversary Limited Edition.
The soft-lined exterior of the Grand Marquis is nearly identical to that of its brother, the Ford Crown Victoria, and it’s a familiar profile to anyone who has traveled by taxi (or, uh, police car) in recent years due to the prevalence of Crown Vic in fleets.
No rear-seat DVD entertainment system is offered—a shame given that many a Marquis makes the long annual journey from Florida to the Midwest and back, and the folks in back likely would whine a lot less with a few movies to watch.
