It seems ridiculous to suppose the dead miss anything. I’m always a little surprised to find my eyebrows unsinged after I’ve suffered one of those looks. It’s a kind of furious pride, very passionate and stern. You reached up and put your fingers on my lips and gave me that look I never in my life saw on any other face besides your mother’s. And then you said, Don’t laugh! because you thought I was laughing at you. I told you you might have a very different life from mine, and from the life you’ve had with me, and that would be a wonderful thing, there are many ways to live a good life. And you put your hand in my hand and you said, You aren’t very old, as if that settled it. ![]() ![]() ![]() I told you last night that I might be gone sometime, and you said, Where, and I said, To be with the Good Lord, and you said, Why, and I said, Because I’m old, and you said, I don’t think you’re old. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, the idyll begins to turn into a nightmare. ![]() ![]() The deal doesn’t seem bad especially since in return the family gets a private beach, a large garden and, above all, a huge house. The owners, the eccentric Allardyce siblings, willingly give up their property, leaving only their old mother, who does not leave her room, for whom food must be prepared. No wonder that when there is an opportunity to go for two months to a huge mansion outside the city for a small amount of money, the couple packs their clothes, takes their son David and Aunt Elizabeth and seizes the opportunity. The scorching heat of the 1970s US summer doesn’t help them at all, but only deepens their frustration. They are both fed up with living in a cramped apartment with their neighbors constantly jumping at each other’s throats. Ben and Marian Rolfe are a married couple with several years of experience, living in Brooklyn, New York. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s nationalism.Īnd, weirdly, it’s the kind of nationalism I can get behind. But that - like cheering for our White Sox players - isn’t exactly patriotism, by some definitions. Daniel Shirey/WBCI/MLB Photos via Getty ImagesĪbove I said that was patriotism. Here we see our best players suiting up for a team that grabs our loyalties automatically. ![]() That’s part of why the World Baseball Classic is such a delight while Mookie and Mike Trout and TA might play together in an All-Star Game, no one gives a fig who wins or loses. There’s too damn much going on in the Olympics and we don’t do Eurovision, due to a tragic lack of upper-echelon camp professionals. ![]() doesn’t compete in many big international events, which is why the World Cup always feels big. It feels extremely patriotic and extremely unifying, a rare occasion in these grim and seismic times. World Cup cheering montages I love seeing that tense anticipation in a crowd of thousands turn into spasms of shared joy, flags waving and water flying through the air and the crowd chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” whenever the women’s or men’s team does something amazing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though this unlikely heroine receives only token mention in Virgil’s original, Le Guin brings her to vibrant life as a dutiful virgin whose world is circumscribed by daily routines who is the uncooperative cynosure of several suitors’ eyes and who eventually distances herself from the misrule of her stepson Ascanius (Aeneas’s successor), biding her time until the new metropolis of Rome is made worthy of its intrepid founder. But omens decree otherwise, and Lavinia weds Trojan warrior-adventurer Aeneas, a bereaved and conflicted husband, son and father who will, over the years, earn the initially reluctant Lavinia’s undying respect and love. ![]() ![]() The story is that of the eponymous princess of Latium (a royal city before Rome existed), promised by her parents, King Latinus and Queen Amata, to neighboring Rutilian king Turnus (who is Amata’s nephew). Le Guin ( Powers, 2007, etc.) departs from her award-winning fantasy and science-fiction novels to amplify a story told only glancingly in Virgil’s epic The Aeneid. ![]() ![]() ![]() This film stars Vera Zorina and since she was once an accomplished ballerina, several dance numbers and an allusion to "Swan Lake" was inserted into the film.

Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird stands as a touchstone of heroism in the face of bigotry and injustice in the United States’ Depression-era Deep South. ![]() |
