...England) supper of fish, beans and rice. In the Bay a forest of masts swayed wildly. But wind and cold are nothing new to the citizens of Hakodate, Japan's ninth biggest city and enterprising port of a northern island that is nearly the climatic counterpart of the Canadian Northwest...
...Circe, the brothel. A less obvious parallel: the passage between Scylla and Charybdis, Bloom's walk through the National Library while Stephen and some literary men are discussing Aristotelianism (the rock of Dogma), Platonism (the whirlpool of Mysticism).

I have always taken American newspapers with a large grain of salt and personally think ours far superior, but TIME is a dog of another colour altogether. Well, here...
