The power broker by robert a caro5/13/2023 ![]() And, most of all, he had not sufficiently taken into account the need for power. He had not sufficiently taken into account self-interest. He had not sufficiently taken into account greed. But Moses had failed in his calculations to give certain factors due weight. ![]() ![]() In free and open encounter would not Truth prevail? And he had gotten the hearing. He had really believed that if his system was right-scientific, logical, fair-and if it got a hearing, the system would be adopted. Convinced he was right, he had refused to soil the white suit of idealism with compromise. Intending to reform the city, he had worked hard and mastered with a supreme mastery reform's techniques. There was no civil service standardization, no great highway along the Hudson, no mothers' shelters in Central Park. The net result of all his work was nothing. One must wait until the evening To see how splendid the day has been. ![]()

Blood bones and butter5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Hamilton nimbly cranks up her own literary time machine to transport us back to the hippie-ish world of rural Pennsylvania in the 1970s, and to New York City at the height of the coke-and-urban-cowboy era of the ’80s. Hamilton’s childhood was abruptly shattered when her parents separated, and memories of their “luminous parties” and the meals they’d shared as a family would shape her adult life, from her marriage into an Italian family that shared her passion for food to her opening of a New York City restaurant named Prune, which would win kudos from critics for its homey, rustic cooking. ![]() In preparation Gabrielle and her sister and brothers would fill dozens of brown paper lunch bags with sand and candles and set them along the stream’s edge under the weeping willows to light everyone’s way, and juice up glow-in-the-dark Frisbees in the car headlights, so they could send those “glowing greenish discs arcing through the jet black night.” When Gabrielle Hamilton was a child, growing up in Pennsylvania, her family gave an annual party that was legendary in its small town a spring lamb roast for almost 200 people, who came from as far away as New York City: former ballet dancer friends of her mother’s and artist friends of her father’s, along with local friends and neighbors, who all gathered in the meadow behind their house to feast on lamb and asparagus vinaigrette and shortcake. ![]()

Blue exorcist vol 01 kazue kato5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() When Satan himself then possesses Father Fujimoto, Rin has to realize this is all frighteningly real. Besides, shouldn’t this mean his twin brother is also the son of the devil? Well, it turns out it doesn’t matter because all the evil powers went into Rin, not Yukio. Father Fujimoto gives Rin a phone to call a friend, and a sword he must never unsheathe. Father Fujimoto announces that Rin is literally the son of the devil and he is in grave danger. Father Fujimoto comes to the rescue, realizing that now Rin can see the demons everywhere. Come to find out, those “bugs” are actually demons and the boy sprouted a horn and tail because he’s possessed. While walking, he starts noticing bugs everywhere, and this one boy he doesn’t like now sports a horn and a tail. So Rin goes out for a job interview because he has to. ![]() While the father has a sense of humor, he’ll also get on Rin’s case and tell him to make something of himself. Rin and his younger twin brother Yukio are being raised by Father Fujimoto, who is an exorcist as well as a priest. He’s also the son of Satan, which could explain that, but he doesn’t know his family relations yet. ![]()

My life meir autobiography5/11/2023 ![]() The October War had been a major surprise since its first spark. ![]() The first line is through war and undermining the strength of the enemy and second is through negotiation to absorb American ‘impartiality’ in favor of Israel and prevent it from working against the Arab demands. Former Egyptian President Anwar Saddat realized from the start of the war that regaining the captured territory would be through two lines. ![]() Today, as Arabs celebrate the October War victory which changed balance in the region, they should also look at the failures which led them to lose their gains in that war. We were certain that we will be given ample warning time before the first strike, let alone their belief in their ability to prevent Egyptians from crossing the Suez Canal,” she said. “The possibility of it happening in October was minimal. ![]() She indicated that they endured deep depression which was not only from shock over how the war started, but due to the reality of Israel and its main assessment which proved to be wrong. She wrote how the Arabs exceeded them in number – whether in weapons, tanks, planes or men. ![]()

Little eyes book5/11/2023 ![]() The characters in Samanta Schweblin’s wildly imaginative new novel, Little Eyes, reveal the beauty of connection between far-flung souls – but they also expose the ugly truth of our increasingly linked world.

Lamb the gospel of biff5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() The one thing I liked most about this book is the believability. I have to say here, that through out all of their adventures, Josh remains true to who and what he is. Along the way, they learn the ways of the Buddhists, Hindu's and even walk into a cult sacrifice ceremony, before finally returning home. So, off they go to find The Three Wise Men. Finally Josh and Biff come of age, and it's time for Josh to figure out what exactly a Messiah is supposed to do. ![]() He knows he's The Messiah, because his Mother won't let him forget, being the stereo-typical Jewish Mother that she is. Getting into typical little boy mischief with the Roman guards, going to school together, and both having a crush on the same girl (Mary of Magdalen) with the exception that Josh must deal with being The Messiah. They have a typical childhood, just two young boys growing up in Roman controlled Israel. So, here's Biff & Josh (Jesus) growing up in Jerusalem. I thought, how dare someone write their own version of events?! But I decided to have an open mind, after all, I absolutely loved "A Dirty Job". ![]() |
