It kinda all happened at the same time. I had a subscription to Rolling Stone. I was really into Miles Davis. He was like my god in the 1970s.

Fifteen years later they talk about My Lai and its aftermath. — ed. By Betty Brink Kountze "It was a small tragedy in a small place." — Lt. William L. Calley, Jr., 1970; convicted of murdering Vietnamese civilians at My Lai 4, South Vietnam on March 16, 1968. TO THE VIETNAMESE families who lived there and to neighboring villagers, My Lai 4 had always been known as Thuan Yen. The hamlet, located in the Son My Village near the South China sea coast, was called My Lai 4 only on the U.S. Army maps. Americans, who had trouble with Vietnamese names, found it simpler to pinpoint one large hamlet and give n o its name to others nearby, numbering them 1, 2, 3 and so on. is In 1968 there were six My Lais in the Son My Village on the Lia American Army maps. The hamlet was centuries old when the men of Charlie and /Gamma Bravo companies landed at its northernmost edge on that hot, x muggy spring morning in March, 1968.

  • Josephine the Songstress Or the Mouse Folk
    An Excerpt from Essential Kafka – translated by Phillip Lundberg. Josephine the Songstress or The Mouse Folk Josephine is the name of our songstress. Those who have never heard her sing simply haven’t experienced the power of song. Everyone who hears her is pulled out of him or herself, transported, and this is yet more of a mystery since our race as a whole has no great love for music. Peace and quiet {Stiller Frieden} are what we yearn for more than anything—our lives are hard—such is the music that, generally, we love above all others, we just don’t have it in us after another long day of work in which we strive to do our best in dispensing with a thousand and one cares, there’s just nothing left over with which we might pull ourselves to the distant heights, so far removed, where music comes alive. But we don’t generally shed any tears over this, not once do we go so far as to lament our loss, it’s just—at least this is my personal opinion on the subject—it’s just a minor irrelevancy. There’s a certain sort of sly cleverness that kicks in here, one, indeed, that we need terribly: we consider this as being our greatest asset and we use it to laugh off any and all criticism and to console ourselves about everything. Such is our way, such clever- ness in all things practical; indeed, it kicks in even should there be some yearning—though there isn’t—but if there were to be such a yearning for the sublime happiness {Glück} that music may, perhaps, deliver.

  • New Student Orientation Program
    THE COLLEGE OF WOOSTER 2021-22 NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION A P L A C E O F S T U D I E S F O R A L L THE COLLEGE OF WOOSTER LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT For over 10,000 years, many native communities have moved through and cared for the land the College of Wooster stands on today. The name “Ohio” derives from the Haudenosaunee language, referring to their name for the Ohio River, Ohiyo, which means “great river” or “beautiful river.” Indigenous narratives and experiences are part of this collective history and are central to our understanding of the indigenous-settler dynamic that has and continues to shape the this country’s history, culture, and land we occupy. More recently, this land has been tended—and these buildings, and the infrastructure that brought most of us here, were created, built, and maintained—by laborers from many different backgrounds, including African Americans who fled slavery in the South but continued to face discrimination and violence; immigrants and refugees from the Americas and all over the world who have been the target of recent ICE policing raids, Ohio farmers who have recently experienced the state’s worst planting season on record, and working people from all over our area whose socio-economic position has made access to this institution largely unavailable. By acknowledging these complex and sometimes painful histories that give us the opportunity to be here today, they also call us to learn more about this community, build relationships with our local indigenous communities, learn how to better care for the land we inhabit, and to show respect to the diverse peoples and cultures who preceded us and those who come together now in this place.
