Thus to my Hegelian sensibility, the pendulum theory appears an arbitrary construct. Western culture incorporates not only Biblical and Hellenic elements, but also Gothic. It takes up parts of these traditions and discards others. The classical Renaissance did not simply resurrect the Ancients in their old form. Gibbon dressed his Romans and his Christians as neo-classicists, and while Hellenism dominated the synthesis, it did not emerge pure. Consequently, it hardly seems likely that the impending transformation will be accomplished with a religion designed for the Hellenic Babel...
Mark Roskill's poem about Hadrian is straightforward but unconvincing. Its impact depends upon the reading of two words, "resurrect," and "facile," words which the poetic context does not define for me. As a result, the poem is, for me, an amusement...

Paepcke built Aspen into a center of muscle and mind, with one of the world's longest ski lifts (14,000 ft.) and summer conferences featuring greats of philosophy, education and musiC−Albert Schweitzer, Reinhold Niebuhr, Jacques Barzun, Mortimer Adler, Igor Stravinsky, et al. This week, with the tax evaluation of Aspen increased sixteenfold, Paepcke, 60, prepared to open a new nonprofit enterprise...
