...party, Jenny had a request: would I help her write down the words to an American hit song she admired? Listening carefully for the first time to "Love Hurts," by Nazareth, I realize that it is powerful, thoughtfully-structured music. Peruvian girls are crazy about it. I cannot condemn this "cultural imperialism," if that's what it is, because it is perpetrated by the music I grew up on. Others might have been weaned on Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, cello lessons and madrigal singing around the family piano, but I spent my Wonder Years humming along to Diana...
...unfortunate that it took the body of the UNESCO member states so long to come to their senses. But it was rewarding and encouraging to see intellectuals throughout the world, and especially those in France and the United States, protest and condemn the original decision. The efforts of many in the Harvard community, most notably Kenneth J.

There is probably still another reason for America's official reluctance to deal with South Korean corruption.

That explanation immediately shook the fragile alliance that Williams and Corrigan had formed with moderate Protestants. Further clarifications, in which the women affirmed their support of the army and Royal Ulster Constabulary as legitimate instruments of law, may cost their movement some Catholic support...
Later, Dersu goes to live with the Captain and his family in town. But he is gradually stifled. Kurosawa is not facile, and he does not hymn the natural man just to condemn the spiritual debilitations of modern life. Dersu Uzala takes place during the first decade of the century and suggests that the ideal reconciliation of urban knowledge and bucolic temperament is, sadly, unattainable. Dersu Uzala may be a shade over-inflated and simplistic, but it also has the clear resonance of genius. Kurosawa can find grandeur in the intimate as well as the infinite...
