...object it always was. John M. Reynolds Augusta, Georgia, U.S. Severgnini's Italia Beppe Severgnini's new book, Label-La Figura, provides a good way to understand Italy [Aug. 28]. He's the best person to describe the highs and the lows of our country. Most books on the subject drown readers in a sea of awful clichés. Since Severgnini has traveled all over the world, he can draw fair comparisons on how we see our society and how it is seen outside our borders. I'm not really patriotic, but your review somehow made me a little...
...reminded of all this recently, when I read the edition by Professor Theodore Khoury (M?nster) of part of the dialogue carried on - perhaps in 1391 in the winter barracks near Ankara - by the erudite Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus and an educated Persian on the subject of Christianity and Islam, and the truth of both. It was presumably the emperor himself who set down this dialogue, during the siege of Constantinople between 1394 and 1402; and this would explain why his arguments are given in greater detail than those of his Persian interlocutor. The dialogue ranges widely over the structures...
...psychopathic minds and was in no way motivated by general social conditions or, indeed, by anything-other than perhaps a chance encounter-that was deeply woven into poor Betty Short's brief, sad, agonizingly ended life. In that sense it is both the perfect crime and the perfect subject for realistically rendered, but fantastically imagined crime fictions...
...Black Dahlia is far from being a perfect version of that story. It is, in fact a major disappointment, despite the fact that it seems, superficially, to be an ideal subject for Brian De Palma, given his passionate, long-standing obsession with the sex and violence nexus. Mostly, the movie is a tin of red herrings. That's particularly true of the triangular relationship between the cops and Kay. She, too, has been sexually abused and the movie seems to want to say that violent crimes against women were-are-more common than we like to pretend, which is doubtless...
...truly impressive lecturer. Maryellen Ruvolo and John Wakeley clearly have interesting points to make, but get lost in their expansive Powerpoint presentations and statistical data. Robert Lue in 1a and Craig Hunter in 1b have the toughest material, but Lue gets students more excited about his dense subject matter. Life Sciences 1b is still interesting, but not as innovative as its fall counterpart. It’s important to keep in mind that the professors in 1b didn’t have a semester’s worth of CUE evaluations to turn the class around as the 1a staff...
