One display for the spreadsheet of horror; one for the book of horror; one for the newspapers I am reading. (The laptop display is too small to be useful.) The good news: no more connectors for displays.

Adding Watermark to All Slides in a PowerPoint 2013 Presentation
I want to add a light gray background word SLOW to all screens in a PowerPoint presentation. (I think you can guess why.) Everywhere I look, it says change the master and it will apply that change to all slides. No, it doesn't. Is there some additional step required, on Princes and Princesses of PowerPoint?

Note: Not for the Squeamish
Chester, IL (1880)
Before 12/7/1880: A man of 22 “became insane a few days ago
from religious excitement.” Adjudged insane
and ordered by the court to the asylum, he escaped the police, stripping off all his clothes as
he ran, and a quarter mile away, he murdered “Thos. Ryan, an old man of 68
years of age, with whom lived his widowed daughter, Mrs. Smith, and her little
girl of 12 years…” The madman murdered
Mr. Ryan and Mrs. Smith with an ax, and beheaded the little girl. The younger son escaped of Mrs. Smith escaped
unharmed. The madman ran from the scene “swinging
the bleeding head of the innocent girl by its long flaxen hair, and swinging it
at arms length over his own head…” After
capture, he was sent to the asylum as originally planned.

A bit to frequently, the screen goes black, and I have to right click close it. Sometimes it remembers its tabs but just now it lost them 34 newspapers (I think) into 1883. Suggestions on a reliable non-Google, non-Mozilla browser?

3/1/19 Daily Caller:
Of course, when my son took his then girlfriend (now working on her Ph.D. in biology) to senior prom he took the Corvette, so maybe I should not talk.
Students and parents at a New Jersey high school plan to protest a new policy banning limos and party buses as acceptable transportation to and from the senior prom, CBS New York reported this week.The wretched excess and excuse for parents to look the other way about premarital sex is one of the reminders that Christianity is a rapidly shrinking minority faith in America. A year or so ago, one of the Catholic high schools back East abolished senior prom because of how outrageous it had become. At my high school in 1974, one couple flew to San Francisco to spend the night, and alcohol flowed at the afterparties, I understand. (I did not attend senior prom: where would a nerd like me have gotten a date? And dancing wasn't my thing.)
