...whether you are in the military or not, it's about how you contribute to our country and its future. And I think Australians see that. I took two of my children to the service in Martin Place in Sydney last year and we couldn't get near the Cenotaph - there were so many people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, a real cross-section of the community. I think Australians look around the world and see a lot of death and destruction, but when they look at the Defence Force's contribution it's seen as a very positive...
...stage-the man who, more than any other, defined the nation's architectural identity in the last half of the 20th century. The University of Tokyo-trained Tange rocketed to fame with his 1949 design for the Peace Memorial Park at Hiroshima's ground zero, the concrete museum, arched cenotaph and mammoth public square of which managed to be arresting without quite being beautiful, distinctive without quite being iconic. His later commissions embodied Japan's re-emergence as an increasingly confident economic power: the sweeping National Gymnasium Complex for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games; the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka...
...listens to The Crystals and The Ronettes on the other, and Annie (Mysha K. Mason ’04), an actress who is campaigning to free Brodie (Stephen J. Quinlan ’04), a soldier jailed at an anti-missile protest for starting a fire on the Cenotaph using the wreath of the unknown solider as kindling. Early in the play, Henry and Annie leave their respective spouses, Max (Alexander L. Pasternack ’05) and Charlotte (Stephanie Jaggers), to live with each other. However, once together, they have to deal with betrayal and jealousy?...
...Ridley demonstrates in this engrossing study of the relationship between Edwin Lutyens, the leading English architect of the first half of the 20th century, and his wife Emily, nothing could be further from the truth. Lutyens - the prolific and imaginative designer behind much of Imperial New Delhi, London's Cenotaph war memorial and scores of country houses in England and France - had the good luck to work at a time when a leisured élite gave him the space to realize his ideals. Though his reputation dipped following his 1944 death and the rise of modernism, a new generation...
...those great 20th century works of broken-hearted testimony, of the Holocaust documentary Shoah or the string quartets of Shostakovich. With 382 black-and-white pictures spread across oversize pages, it has the heft of a gravestone, which is not so different from what it is, a cenotaph for the last victims of the 20th century. What it tells us is that history did not end with the conclusion of the cold war. It just moved to places where its worst work was harder to see, or would have been if Nachtwey had not gone there...
