A story six years in the making, that required six trips to Venice. But, as Judy noted in her introduction to the presentation: “The best thing about working on this book was the friends that we made.” Through those friends, they got know “the City of Bridges” inside out. Or, more to the point, they got to go beyond its tourist-and-postcard look of canals and gondolas, carnival crowds and masks.

  • Lawyer NEW DEAN TAKES CHARGE
    Stanford FALL 2004 FALL Lawyer NEW DEAN TAKES CHARGE Larry D. Kramer brings fresh ideas, lots of energy, and a willingness to stir things up a bit. Remember Stanford... F rom his family’s apricot orchard in Los Altos Hills, young Thomas Hawley could see Hoover Tower and hear the cheers in Stanford Stadium. “In those days my heroes were John Brodie and Chuck Taylor,” he says, “and my most prized possessions were Big Game programs.” Thomas transferred from Wesleyan University to Stanford as a junior in and two years later enrolled in the Law School, where he met John Kaplan. “I took every course Professor Kaplan taught,” says Thomas. “He was a brilliant, often outrageous teacher, who employed humor in an attempt to drive the law into our not always receptive minds.” In choosing law, Thomas followed in the footsteps of his father, Melvin Hawley (L.L.B. ’), and both grandfathers. “I would have preferred to be a professional quarterback or an opera singer,” he says (he fell in love with opera while at Stanford-in-Italy), “and I might well have done so but for a complete lack of talent.” An estate planning attorney on the Monterey Peninsula, Thomas has advised hundreds of families how to make tax-wise decisions concerning the distribution of their estates. When he decided the time had come to sell his rustic Carmel cottage, he took his own advice and put the property in a charitable remainder trust instead, avoiding the capital gains tax he otherwise would have paid upon sale. When the trust terminates, one-half of it will go to Stanford Law School.

  • The Finnish Sauna
    CHAPTER 10 The Finnish Sauna If sauna, tar, or alcohol doesn’t help, you are sick to die. —Finnish adage Finns are reverential about the sauna.In the glow of the softly lit wood-lined space, they chat jovially or fall into a comfortable silence. The heat makes one welcome a dip in ice-cold water or a roll in the snow, as improbable as that sounds. Food and drink afterward never tasted so delicious. There is etiquette which has to do with practical and safety questions, but generous Finns will walk you through it. As is their method of rearing children, it’s a window to the Finnish psyche. —Anonymous Finn (quoted in Kaiser & Perkins, 2005) inland is located between Sweden and Russia on the Baltic Sea and has a pop- ulation of 5.3 million. There are 15.4 people per square kilometer in compari- Fson to 31.7 in the United States. With 2 million saunas in Finland, the sauna density is clearly greater than that of any other country in the world, even if most of the saunas are in the countryside where 70% of the land surrounding 60,000 lakes is forested.Finland also extends beyond mainland Finland into the Archipelago Sea with its 80,000 islands, which include the self-governing, Swedish-speaking Åland Islands province. Throughout Finland both Finnish and Swedish are official languages. However, most mainland Finnish-speaking Finns, who have taken obligatory Swedish courses in school, have only limited competence in that language. The sauna began in the forests as a hole in the ground with hot stones and evolved into a small log cabin.The sauna metaphor is functionally and symbolically related to local and nature-focused values and customs.
