Alternatively, I often wonder if the older fans superimpose ghostly images of Ted Williams patrolling left field or imagine Carlton Fisk rounding the bases after his wave-it-fair home run in the World Series. Even without these vivid recollections, one fan could recall exactly where he sat in the 1946 World Series or another how he shimmied up the railroad ties backing up against the “Green Monster” when he didn’t have a nickel...
...even a three-line email; of, at 5’7”, fitting into approximately the same place in the Teutonic height spectrum as I did in the American one 8 years ago, when I was 5’1”. But by far the most vivid evocation came in the form of a poster I saw in a subway station on my very first day here.

...schools to adopt the national curriculum. B.R.N. and other insurgent groups were neutralized by government amnesties by the 1990s, but their cause has been taken up by a new breed of militant, groomed by religious leaders and hardened by the military solution Thaksin pushed in the south.

Given this context, it's easier to comprehend the striking degree of empathy Kissinger displayed following the Tiananmen crackdown. "No government in the world would have tolerated having...
Rescue Dawn hasn't quite the intensity or veracity of Little Dieter. Somehow, hearing Dengler testify to the atrocities he survived is more vivid than watching an excellent cast re-enact them. But the Herzog team's devotion to the horror of the story, and to Dengler's unkillable spirit, is gratifying. Rescue Dawn is a tale of heroism untainted by political skepticism. In an age when U.S. soldiers are seen as villains or victims, the movie offers a GI who bravely, or madly, simply refuses...
