The Turtles’ “Elenore” is such a fun song-it was written as a self-satire of “Happy Together” and other poppy, saccharine love songs of the era, and features such great lyrics as “you’re my pride and joy, et cetera”-always loved the thought that he couldn’t possibly think of anything else to say about his girlfriend so he just slapped an “etc.” on the end

Streusel is not a type of pastry, but a crumbly topping of flour, butter, and sugar.
Isn't Habsburg spelled incorrectly here?
You are correct. I thought it was P, as well, but research confirms your comment.
Not incorrect no, just less common. It is an alternative spelling
@@alexgberg It's an American way of spelling it, apparently. That would make sense in the context of th NYT, and why I haven't seen it before, I guess
