They went through Bernard de Fallois who preserved them and worked on them to publish Jean Santouil and others. The Fallois archives went to the National Library where the researchers they have access and that is how last year they published excerpts from The Pleasures and Days and this year Les 75 feuillets ”.“Proust came a few times but it deeply influenced his sensitivity to the point that Combray's name is very present in" In Search of Lost Time. " It is the only place where we can precisely evoke the life of Proust and frequent a place where he came in life and since the 70s it is open to the public, it is a museum in France and the Society of Friends of Proust and the department own the house and they acquire collections that are directly related to the life and work of Proust.

Crede Bailey is the head of the White House security office. Now, Business Insider reports Bailey has lost part of his lower right leg and a big toe on his left foot, all amputated during an ongoing battle with COVID-19.

Dozens of top administration officials and White House staffers have contracted COVID-19. President Donald Trump has consistently downplayed the threat.

He's also mocked those who wear face masks, and condemned aggressive state measures taken to slow the spread of the virus.
