TRE Spring04 Ideas and Information for Readers nd September 2012 “Our 22 Year” Dear Friends, Reviews in This Issue LEADERSHIP Our country, and many cities, states, and other institutions are in crisis. These crises, Hemingway’s Boat (Hendrickson) Still the Best Hope it seems, developed and fed by numerous stress points, require enlightened management to take over and (Prager) Mission to Paris carry out effective solutions. But where are the leaders? Does it strike you that there is a dearth of leader - (Furst) The Coldest Night ship in America? There are countless books on leadership and management and the principles are well- (Olmstead) The Cold Dish known. To be effective, leaders must be unifiers, not dividers. They must be tuned into their constit uencies (Johnson) The Age of Doubt and be able to deal with the important issues without polarization and rancor. They must be courageous, (Camilleri) A Dublin Student Doctor unselfish, not hold themselves above the fray, and be able to engender a spirit of cooperation and together - (Taylor) The Innocent ness. They must build and nurture a culture, an environment of integrity and trust. But you know all of (Baldacci) Boomerang this. So, will the leaders please step forward? And will they be recognized when they appear? (Lewis) Death Without Company “FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO LEAD, READ” (Johnson) was the title of a piece by John Coleman Kindness Goes Unpunished Harvard Business Review (Johnson) in the blog network. The National Endowment for the Arts has found that Dorchester Terrace (Perry) reading has declined among every group of adult Americans and for the first time in American history, Why Capitalism? (Meltzer) less than half of the U.S. adult population is reading literature. The article notes that this is bad news for The Last Storyteller (Delaney) leadership, since deep, broad reading habits are often a defining characteristic of good leaders, serving as The Amateur (Klein) a catalyst for insight, innovation, empathy, and personal effectiveness. Common sense (there’s that rare A Pocket History of Ireland (McCullough) The Fallen Angel quality again) suggests that the leadership benefits of reading are many, such as improved intelligence, (Silva) Birdseye sharper insight, development of abstract reasoning skills, better commun i cation skills, improved creativity, (Kurlansky) The Chessman and a deeper psychological orientation to effectively understand and manage the human factors. (Burton) MINDING MANNERS Agent Garbo (Talty) We are regularly reminded of the breakdown of manners, protocols, niceties, House of Stone (Shadid) and decencies in our society. Many of the little rules that add decorum, civility, and sophistication to our The Chaperone (Moriarty) society, to say nothing of providing structure and defining limitations, have crumbled. Don’ts don’t The Road to Serfdom (Hayek) seem to mean don’t anymore! Do’s prevail and it’s all just fine because you are, of course, “doing Evensong S (Firestone) your own thing!” Dressing for dinner, speaking the language correctly, opening car doors for ladies, Empires of the Sea E (Crowley) removing hats indoors, and practicing good table manners, to name a few, should be recognized, Gone Girl N (Flynn) perhaps saving a few good souls from the number of those who have dropped their guards and Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf Goodman I slipped into the abyss of mediocrity. L TYING OUR OWN HANDS The Death of Common (Mnookin) City of Women Sense, Life Without Lawyers We heard lawyer/author Philip Howard ( (Gillham) E The Orchardist ) speak not too long ago about how America has tied itself in knots with (Coplin) The Sins of the Father H a deluge of laws, regulations, and legislation.

HEMINGWAY’S BOAT: This is a major triumph, a big book seven years in the making about a towering artistry, a EVERYTHING HE LOVED IN towering charisma, and a towering meanness. No wonder Hemingway (1899-1961) is the most LIFE, AND LOST, 1934-1961 written about American author, no wonder his literature won both Pulitzer and Nobel prizes, no PAUL HENDRICKSON wonder his books birthed three blockbuster movies starring no less than Tyrone Power, Errol (2011, 531pp, Flynn, Ava Gardner, Gary Cooper, Ingrid Berman, and Spencer Tracy, no wonder his books Knopf) (including the most reviled by critics) were gigantic best sellers. What more is not known 10 about the man? Why such a massive book about so worked-over a controversial writer? Paul Hendrickson—a lapsed priest, former journalist, and now distinguished professor of creative writing (University of Pennsylvania)—found the lost key to the enigmatic Ernest Hemingway— Pilar , his specially made fishing boat, worked in the Gulf Stream from 1934 to the early 1950s. Pilar’s existence as a deep-sea, working boat provides a new-found insight into what made Hemingway tick, and why Hendrickson can write a successful book about Hemingway’s years when he was in early and then full-blown decline, not even covering Hemingway’s glamor years, The Sun Also Rises, Farewell to Arms, his many triumphs of his 20s (his literary masterpieces Boat and his Michigan-set short stories, and, of course, his celebrated taking of Paris by storm). answers what nobody else has been able to—how could a man be so flawed, so mean, and yet so great at the same time? Hendrickson argues that Hemingway was horribly tortured by insomnia and depression (and their handmaiden, alcoholism), and the demons were always lurking— hence, so many meannesses, so many fights, so much licentiousness, so much homo phobia, so much boastfulness. He was at his worst when writing and, if it is humanly possible, even worse in his post-writing let downs. Hendrickson shows that the demons could be exorcised only on Pilar, only in the deep, limitless Gulf Stream, only when he was deep-sea fishing for big fish— Pilar, marlin and tuna. Just the prospect of going out on or savoring the day’s trip, allowed Hemingway to sleep, to work, and, most important, to be a decent human being. Implicit through - Pilar, out the book is that during the late 1930’s when critics were savaging him and his famous style was an object of parody, gave him the inner peace to get up off the floor (he was finished in For Whom the Bell Tolls his 30’s, the critics agreed) and write his final masterpiece, (1940). This splendid biography does not redeem Ernest Hemingway, if anything it makes him an even worse person, but it shows a rare side of “Papa,” as his beloved Cubans called him, a side of Hemingway which four good women found worth marrying and which scores of people, some of them famous Pilar but many just common folk, marked their lives by the time spent on with a great and kindly Pilar man. Once is gone (and with her Cuba, the Gulf Stream, and the fishing), Hendrickson’s Hemingway is consigned to his demons, which spiral into paranoia, then Mayo Clinic shock treatments, and then the shotgun in the Ketchum, ID house.

  • POPES HORATIAN POEMS.Pdf (10.50Mb)
    THOMAS E. MARESCA OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS $5.00 POEMS BY THOMAS E. MARESCA Recent critical studies of Alexander Pope have sought to define his poetic accom­ plishment in terms of a broadened aware­ ness of what the eighteenth century called wit. That Pope's achievement can be lo­ cated in wit is still generally agreed; but it now seems clear that the fullest signifi­ cance of his poetry can be found in the more serious meaning the Augustans at­ tached to that word: the ability to discern and articulate—to "invent," in the classical sense—the fundamental order of the world, of society, and of man, and to express that order fittingly in poetry. Mr. Maresca maintains that it is Pope's success in this sort of invention that is the manifest accomplishment of his Imitations of Horace. And Mr. Maresca finds that, for these purposes, the Renaissance vision of Horace served Pope well by providing a concordant mixture of rational knowledge and supernatural revelation, reason and faith in harmonious balance, and by offer­ ing as well all the advantages of applying ancient rules to modern actions. Within the expansive bounds of such traditions Pope succeeded in building the various yet one universe of great poetry. Thomas E. Maresca is assistant professor of English at the Ohio State University, POPE'S POEMS For his epistles, say they, are weighty and powerful; hut his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

  • The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin
    19 The Nude Figure in Renaissance Art Thomas Martin The establishment of the nude as an independent and vital subject in post-antique western art occurred during the Renaissance and is, along with the use of perspective, one of the most important markers differentiating Renaissance art from medieval art. One factor driving these innovations was the desire to portray a world that conforms to visual reality, where objects decrease in size as they move away from the picture plane, and where human anatomy is rigorously understood. Just as Renaissance artists employed perspective to portray naturalistic spaces, so they also populated those spaces with proportional, anatomically accurate figures and, during the course of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the occasions when those figures were depicted nude occurred more and more frequently. Naturalism, however, was but one motive for the increased use of the nude, and by the first half of the 1500s, the naked body had achieved a wider and more varied presence in art than had been the case in the Middle Ages or even in antiquity where, with few exceptions, its use was confined to male athletes, heroes, and divinities. This essay will focus on two issues: where is the nude used – i.e., what are its locations – and what are the meanings of its uses? As it is today, the body in the Renaissance was multivalent. European Christian society believed that as a cause of lust and sin, the body was fearful and needed to be covered up. Yet at the same time it was the form the Savior, Jesus Christ, took during his lifetime, and the Catholic Church taught that it is in our very own earthly bodies that, after the last trumpet, we will spend eternity either in bliss in Heaven or in despair in Hell.

  • Is God an Obstacle to Science
    Is it Creation, Evolution or Intelligent Design? Was there a “Big Bang”? What is a “Black Hole?” Are the so-called Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? Are Science and Religion compatible Friends or incompatible Foes? (This study is jam packed with Bible quotations … For the sake of flow, biblical passages are sometimes repeated for emphasis and convenience) “For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth” (2Cor 13:8)… “Truth cannot contradict truth, and will never go against God, for he is the one and only Absolute Truth” (All Heavenly Faiths’ stance) "When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" (Attributed to Sherlock Holmes - TV fictional character-) “Numberless are the world’s wonders, but none are more wonderful than man himself” (Sophocles) “Fate determines what will happen to us, while ideas, convictions and intentions are no more than phosphorescent epiphenomena” (Joseph W. Krutch) PRELUDE “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes” (Matt 11:25). Although he opposed Christianity and passionately defended paganism, Lycaeus Proclus (410- 485AD), the Greek philosopher and dialectician, wrote this opinion in one of his commentaries: “The first principle in NeoPlatonism is the One (to Hen). It is the principle which produces all Being. For this reason, the NeoPlatonists thought that the One could not itself be a being. If it were a being, it would have a particular nature, and so could not be universally productive of all being.

  • The Head As Subject Matter in Sculpture by Lewis Daniel Acker A
    The head as subject matter in sculpture by Lewis Daniel Acker A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF APPLIED ART Montana State University © Copyright by Lewis Daniel Acker (1965) Abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to come to a fuller and clearer understanding of my own position in relationship to the most prominent subject matter of my work - the human head. I hope to accomplish this by two means: 1. The study of the feelings of a variety of master sculptors towards the subject of the head; 2. The writing of my own personal convictions concerning my philosophy of sculpture in general and the place of the head as subject matter in my own work. There is only one specific conclusion involved in this paper besides the hope that it will give me a better understanding of myself and my work and perhaps provide me with more intelligent questions. The single conclusion is that in spite of the wide variety of sculptors discussed they have one thing in common - a background built on the study of the human figure. This study is missing in much of today's art. Perhaps a new outlook towards the examination and investigation of the figure can provide a needed revitalization and direction for art on all levels.

  • Marwood Hill
    MARWOOD HILL The day came for us to leave for the airport. Destination: London. Our four boxes of treasures had long gone by air and would hopefully be waiting for us at Marwood Hill. We arrived at Heathrow exhausted and took the bus into town and then a taxi to my mother’s flat. Margie slept that night in The Slit, I was on the sitting-room floor and the boys camped under the dining-room table. My mother was delighted by our arrival and in hindsight I see that our coming back to England filled the final years of her life with joy. She loved Margie and the boys and of course I was still her baby. Getting old can be a very lonely and sad affair, so our arrival must have been a blessing in her eyes. Next morning we went to Paddington and boarded the express to Exeter and changed trains for Barnstaple. I had rung the taxi driver I had met in August and told him the time of arrival and he promised to be there to meet us. England was in the grip of a cold winter that was a far cry from the sun- soaked beach of Portsea we had enjoyed only a couple of days before. The friendly taxi driver was waiting for us when the train pulled in and we set off up the hill towards Guineaford. The excitement mounted as we turned left down the lane that led to the house, passed the church hall and rectory and drove through the gates of Marwood Hill.

  • Words of Faith
    STATEMENTS ON AND ABOUT POVERTY, HUNGER, HELPING AND CHARITY FROM THE ANALECTS OF CONFUCIUS (Quotations in this collection are drawn from The Essential Confucius, translated by Thomas Cleary, Harper: San Francisco, 1992.) Confucius said, "To guide a state, be serious and faithful in its affairs; be economical and love the people, employing the citizens in season." - 1:5 Confucius said, "Be dutiful at home, brotherly in public; be discreet and trustworthy, love all people, and draw near to humanity. If you have extra energy as you do that, then study literature." - 1:7 A pupil asked Confucius, "If one is poor but does not curry favor, or is rich but not haughty, how would that be?" Confucius said, "Fine, but not as good as one who is poor but takes pleasure in the Way, or one that is rich but still courteous." - 1:15 Confucius said, "Exemplary people understand matters of justice; small people understand matters of profit." - 1:16 Confucius said, "When government is done by virtue, it is like the North Star abiding in its position, with all the other stars surrounding it." - 2:1 One of the elder statesmen of Lu asked Confucius, "How would it be to make the people serious and loyal, and thus enthusiastic?" Confucius said, "Preside over them with dignity, and they will be serious. Be filial and kind, and they will be loyal. Promote the good, instruct the unskilled, and they will be enthusiastic." - 2:20 Confucius said, "If people are not humane, what is the use of rites? If people are not humane, what is the use of music?" - 3:3 Confucius said, "If people are in high positions but are not magnanimous, if they perform courtesies without respect, or if they attend funerals without sadness, how can I see them?" - 3:26 Confucius said, "It is beautiful to make humaneness one’s home.
