BURROUGHS CENTENARY (b. FEB. 5, 1914) IN RECOGNITION: William S. Burroughs (Photo: K. Jirgens) Detail of Burroughs’ Shotgun Painting Rampike Cover, Vol. 7, #1 (1990) QUOTES FROM WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS: “Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside.” “The junk merchant doesn't sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.” “I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it.” “A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.” “Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. ” “Language is a virus from outer space.” “After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say I want to see the manager.” “Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer.” “Nothing happens by coincidence.” “Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.” “As soon as you know you are in prison, you have a possibility to escape.” “I am forced to the appalling conclusion that I would never have become a writer but for Joan's death. I had no choice but to write my way out.” [Burroughs accidently shot his lover, the mother of his child]. “There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.” 2 Rampike 23/1 __________________________________________________________________________________ Editorial This issue of Rampike focuses on expressions “What we are doing is nothing more than a drop exploring conflict and/or concord. It remains in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the unclear how much of the choice between ocean would be missing something.” Albert discord and harmony is trulyours.

  • Jewish Issue in Friedrich Gorenstein's Writing
    JEWISH ISSUE IN FRIEDRICH GORENSTEIN’S WRITING Elina Vasiljeva, Dr. philol. Daugavpils University/Institute of Comparative Studies , Latvia Abstract: The paper discusses the specific features in the depiction of the Jewish issue in the writings by Friedrich Gorenstein.The nationality of Gorenstein is not hard to define, while his writing is much more ambiguous to classify in any national tradition. The Jewish theme is undoubtedly the leading one in his writing. Jewish issue is a part of discussions about private fates, the history of Russia, the Biblical sense of the existence of the whole humankind. Jewish subject matter as such appears in all of his works and these are different parts of a single system. Certainly, Jewish issues partially differ in various literary works by Gorenstein but implicitly they are present in all texts and it is not his own intentional wish to emphasize the Jewish issue: Jewish world is a part of the universe, it is not just the tragic fate of a people but a test of humankind for humanism, for the possibility to become worthy of the supreme redemption. The Jewish world of Gorenstein is a mosaic world in essence. The sign of exile and dispersal is never lifted. Key Words: Jewish , Biblical, anti-Semitism Introduction The phenomenon of the reception of one culture in the framework of other cultures has been known since the antiquity. Since the ancient times, intercultural dialogue has been implemented exactly in this form. And this reception of another culture does not claim to be objective. On the contrary, it reflects not the peculiarities of the culture perceived, but rather the particularities of artistic consciousness of the perceiving culture.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Poetry of Richard Milhous Nixon by Richard M. Nixon Four Poems by Richard Milhous Nixon
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Poetry of Richard Milhous Nixon by Richard M. Nixon Four Poems by Richard Milhous Nixon. Abraham Lincoln, John Quincy Adams, and Jimmy Carter all published collections of poetry—and I don’t mean to diminish their stately, often tender contributions to arts and letters by what follows. But the simple fact of the matter is, their poetical efforts pale in comparison to Richard Nixon, who was, and remains, the most essential poet-president the United States of America has ever produced. The Poetry of Richard Milhous Nixon , a slim volume compiled by Jack S. Margolis and published in 1974, stands as a seminal work in verse. Comprising direct excerpts from the Watergate tapes—arguably the most fecund stage of Nixon’s career—it fuses the rugged rhetoric of statesmanship to the lithe contours of song, all rendered in assured, supple, poignant free verse. Below, to celebrate Presidents’ Day, are four selections from this historic chapbook, which has, lamentably, slipped out of print. THE POSITION The position is To withhold Information And to cover up This is Totally true. You could say This is Totally untrue. TOGETHER We are all In it Together. We take A few shots And It will be over. Don’t worry. I wouldn’t Want to be On the other side Right now. IN THE END In the end We are going To be bled To death. And in the end, It is all going To come out anyway. Then you get the worst Of both worlds. The power of Nixon’s poems was duly recognized by his peers—other writers, most notably Thomas Pynchon, have used them as epigraphs.

    PREAMBLE Whereas the People of the State of Oregon find that gun violence in Oregon and the United States, resulting in horrific deaths and devastating injuries due to mass shootings and other homicides, is unacceptable at any level; and Whereas the firearms referred to as “semiautomatic assault firearms” are designed with features to allow rapid spray firing or the quick and efficient killing of humans, and the unregulated availability of semiautomatic assault firearms used in such mass shootings and other homicides in Oregon, and throughout the United States, poses a grave and immediate risk to the health, safety and well-being of the citizens of this State, and in particular our children; and Whereas firearms have evolved from muskets to semiautomatic assault firearms, including rifles, shotguns and pistols with enhanced features and with the ability to kill so many in such an increasingly short period of time, unleashing death and unspeakable pain in places that should be safe: our homes, schools, places of worship, shopping malls, communities; and Whereas a failure to resolve long unrest and inequitable treatment of individuals based on race, gender, religion and other distinguishing characteristics and failure to develop legislative tools to remove the ability of those with criminal intent or predisposition to commit violence from acquiring such instruments of carnage and never-ending sadness; It is therefore morally incumbent upon the citizens of Oregon to take immediate action, which we do by this initiative, to reduce the availability of these assault firearms, and thus reduce their ability to cause death and loss in places that should remain safe; Now, therefore, BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OREGON: SECTION 1.

The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

This willful ignorance is also displayed in the two official works on the company's history: On the one hand, the digital "chronicle" of the company on the company's homepage is extremely short and covers only a few events which are seen as positive from the company’s perspective (see https://www.heckler-koch.com/de/unternehmen/historie.html). On the other hand, the book by Manfred Kersten and Walter Schmid, published in 1999: "Heckler & Koch: The official history of the Oberndorf company Heckler & Koch" on 383 pages describes the development of the Oberndorf arms manufacturers up to the end of the last century in a differentiated but one-sided, company-friendly manner.
