The night is very clear and unusually cold. We are so near to the star that its light banishes the darkness that tries futilely to extinguish it. A small village twinkles in the foothills to our east. The cry of a lost sheep cuts the night like a blade and a shepherd boy not much younger than I am scampers across the path before us to bring the lamb back to its fold. “Peace to you, brother shepherd,” Melchior calls out. “Can you tell me the name of that village?” The boy hauls the sheep over his shoulders. “That one over there?” he responds with a nod of his head. “That is Bet Lehem, the house of bread. Why should men of greatness such as you travel to Bet Lehem? I think you made a wrong turn. Jerusalem is that way, to the north. Who are you?”...

Urmărirea oficială a început pe data de 22.03.1985 (deşi am găsit în dosare şi rapoarte din ianuarie 1985) şi a continuat şi după fuga obiectivului „SAVU” pe data de 07.09.1988 în lagărul de refugiaţi politici din Istambul şi Ankara (Turcia). A fost luat în atenţie de Serviciul III din cadrul Inspectoratul Judeţean Dolj, pe linia problemei „Atlas”. Ȋn vreme ce ei „mă lucrau în urmărire informativă” cu atȃta zel … eu habar n-aveam! Ba chiar mă băgaseră în atenţia Serviciului de Contraspionaj (conform Notei RD. 5/890/1985): fiindcă aveam multe legături cu străinii. Ca-n filme poliţiste, numai că antieroul eram... EU însumi! Existau zile cȃnd mă „filau” pas cu pas (unde mergeam, cu cine mă întȃlneam, la ce oră anume), ba mă şi pozau... Eu nici nu mi-am dat seama! Cȃnd i-am istorisit chestia asta lui Ion Soare, el a adăugat rȃzȃnd: - Păăi, aveam Securitate, domnule (!) Revăzȃnd acest D.U.I. 742 „Savu”, format din 4 volume şi însumȃnd peste 1200 file! – cu menţiunea -, m-a apucat deodată o nemulţumire generală, o scȃrbă pentru această viaţă irosită, în zbatere continuă... cu o soartă mereu în cumpănă.

Pierderi de manuscrise Am pierdut vreo 350 pagini de manuscrise în perioada aceea. A fost şi greşeala mea că mă grăbeam să le public ori să le scot din ţară... n-am avut răbdare să aştept. Dar cine se gȃndea atunci că o să cadă dictatura, cȃnd ea părea aşa de stabilă şi tare ca betonul?! 1) Trei plicuri mari şi groase, albe, puse la poşta din Craiova, din spatele Universităţii Centrale, şi expediate către aceeaşi Chantal Signoret în primele zile din septembrie 1988 – înaintea „fugii mele”. Acestea au fost confiscate de către Securitate şi menţionate în Dosariada lor, dar neînapoiate manuscrisele (în jur de 100 pagini) - în ciuda apelului meu către CNSAS, cu toate că majoritatea erau inofensive, adică: probleme propuse şi rezolvate de matematică, rebusuri, şi poeme nepolitice. Nu înţeleg nici acum de ce nu-mi înapoiază CNSAS-ul manuscrisele? Au fost distruse? Dar... au vrut să-mi facă rău cu tot dinadinsul... Curios, că alte doua plicuri, la fel de mari, trimise din Bucureşti de la o poşta din Drumul Taberei, în aceleaşi zile, au ajuns la Chantal, care mi le-a retrimis în Turcia. Deci Securitatea din capitală nu mă avea încă în...

AGAINST THE WAR follows the intertwined lives of four friends, rowing team mates, who graduate from college at the height of the Vietnam War and struggle to make decisions about the war and the military draft. Two become involved in the war, one as a combat pilot and one as a medic. The other two of the four friends, in trying to avoid the war, become involved in the “war on poverty,” the anti-war movement, and the counterculture that arises from the anti-war movement. In the course of the four and a half years covered in the novel, the four men also meet and court the women who become their eventual spouses. These women become part of the story as they position themselves with respect to the war and the women's liberation movement. In the course of this, also, the eight young people of the novel find themselves within an ever growing phenomenon involving thousands of American youths like themselves reacting to the same far-reaching dynamics of the counterculture and the war. "Menge's book reminds me of both Theodore Dreiser and John Dos Passos. It's a vast panorama with enormous attention to detail." David Willson, Vietnam War F...

234. Morris is relocated from Sam Neua to a Lao village From Sam Neua, the group that included prisoner of war James Morris headed southwest, so far as he could determine from occasional glimpses of the sun through the canopy of leaves above the road on which the caravan was traveling. Then the shield of leaves dropped away briefly and Morris saw that the wagon was moving along on a road about 400 feet above a town with narrow streets and Chinese-style pagoda roofs. Some of the buildings were demolished and others were in flame. “That is Sam Neua, the actual town,” the third passenger informed. “Where was the camp then?” “Place called Xanthon. Just a few miles away.” “The damage here is from bombing?” “Yes, American planes.” “You’re a soldier?” Morris asked. The man was an American, Morris had already decided, based on the easy informality that he had learned set Americans off from other English-speaking people overseas. “No, I’m a clergyman. Catholic priest.” “Is that so?” “Yes. I’ve been working up in the mountains north of Long Thiueu for about five years. My name is Leonard Blair.” “Well, pleased to meet you, Father....

Dear Madhu Ji, On my way back home I recapitulated, as my routine exercise, the discussions at the Coffee House. Can you recall the reaction of Mr Malik to Lal's outburst against the final outcome of Dhananjay Chakrovarty's legal battle to ward off the Capital punishment pronounced on him for rape and murder of a minor girl, when he himself was just 21 years? ……………..." I suppose Mr. Malik came out with some amusing retort, which made almost the entire group at the table giggle and I could not make out anything but only observe Mr. Malik move towards the toilets. Respected Sir, I clearly heard your `Guruji`, I mean Mr Malik, murmur aloud, “Is there any punishment available to your civilized society to punish an errant woman who voluntarily and actively seduces and commits rape on an innocent, uninitiated and in the prime of his youth?” “Do you mean a rape amongst a Lesbian fraternity?” Mr. Lal Singh speaks out smilingly. Mr. Malik simply hung his head down and spoke in his normal pitch, “I mean, on a companion belonging to the opposite sex.” Having uttered these words Guruji peacefully got up and moved in a gentle pace towards pu...

Paradise Lost by John Milton; An Easy to Read Edition. Milton's masterpiece was difficult for me to read. I was challenged by three things: Milton's use of his "blank verse" format; the archaic spelling in currently available editions; and Milton's many references to obscure historical and mythological events, locations, and characters. To make my next reading of this beloved poem easier, I have made changes in three areas. First, I have updated the spelling. Second, I have included a glossary. Third, I have reformatted the poem into something very much like a script. This quasi-script format offers a side benefit of making this text much easier to read aloud. ...

Calendar symbols of one sort or another occur on a surprising variety of monuments, both of early and late periods. The most important of these monuments for the study of the workings of the calendar system in detail are certain remarkable picturebooks or manuscripts, made on folded strips of deerskin, or on paper made of the fibre of the maguey (Agave americana). These manuscripts are usually spoken of as "codices." Only a few of these native manuscripts survived the introduction of European civilization into America. Those which were preserved were taken to Europe as curiosities, and often preserved through mere luck. The ones still extant have received a great deal of attention since the early part of the last century. All but a few of the originals are still in Europe, and are at the present time considered priceless....
