The Committee has prepared this volume con- taining the Literary Exercises, a brief account of the Din- ner, and a catalogue of the members of the Club to date. A full account of the Annual Meeting and the Dinner may be found in the Club records.

    LUCA CODIGNOLA FRANCIS PARKMAN'S ROMAN EXPERIENCE (1844) On 5 April 1844, the twenty-year old Francis Parkman (1823-93) wrote to his mother, Caroline Hall Parkman (1794-1871), from Rome.' He had been there for some six weeks and was about to leave for Florence. He had fallen under the charm of the Eternal City. "You may think two months a long time to remain in Rome, but it is not too much to see the place thor- oughly-in fact, it is not half enough. I do not think the time could be more profitably spent. "^ He was careful to reassure her that his extended stay had nothing to do with a new penchant towards Roman Catholicism: "The farce of [Joseph] Coolidge Shaw has not been reenacted in my person." J.C. Shaw (1821-50 ori 851), as we shall see, was a cousin of the Parkmans and had recently converted, vainly trying to persuade Parkman to follow his example. "We are in the midst of the fooleries before the Holy Week," Parkman continued, going on to describe the weeks before Easter and the pagan rites performed by the superstitious faithful in their thousands.^ Almost 46 years later, a historian of great repute, Parkman was still using expressions of the kind to describe his days in Rome to a consider- ably wider public. That had proved a useful, first-hand introduction to the Catholic world he was afterwards to write about so extensively in his books, he explained. However, it had had no particular effect on his philo- sophical or religious convictions, despite the many positive aspects he was forced to acknowledge in so many members of the Catholic Church.'^ One A preliminary and shorter version of this article was published as Luca Codignola, "Francis Parkman.

  • John Quincy Adams
    “HE IS AN OLD ROUÉ WHO ... 1 MUST HAVE SULPHURIC ACID IN HIS TEA.” JOHN QUINCY ADAMS When this ex-President returned to Washington as a mere member of the South-dominated House of Representatives, representing the Plymouth district of Massachusetts, rather than retiring into safe and benign statesmanship, his passionate campaign to repeal the gag rule by which all petitions concerning slavery were being tabled without consideration led him to introduce the topic of disunion. From the floor arose the cry “Expel him! Expel him!” and a resolution was sponsored accusing this former President of the United States of America of — high treason. 1.According to Ralph Waldo Emerson. HDT WHAT?

  • The Dancing Wu Li Masters an Overview of the New Physics Gary Zukav
    The Dancing Wu Li Masters An Overview of the New Physics Gary Zukav A BANTAM NEW AGE BOOK BANTAM BOOKS NEW YORK • TORONTO • LONDON • SYDNEY • AUCKLAND This book is dedicated to you, who are drawn to read it. Acknowledgments My gratitude to the following people cannot be adequately expressed. I discovered, in the course of writing this book, that physicists, from graduate students to Nobel Laureates, are a gracious group of people; accessible, helpful, and engaging. This discovery shattered my long-held stereo- type of the cold, "objective" scientific personality. For this, above all, I am grateful to the people listed here. Jack Sarfatti, Ph.D., Director of the Physics/Consciousness Research Group, is the catalyst without whom the following people and I would not have met. Al Chung-liang Huang, The T'ai Chi Master, provided the perfect metaphor of Wu Li, inspiration, and the beautiful calligraphy. David Finkelstein, Ph.D., Director of the School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology, was my first tutor. These men are the godfathers of this book. In addition to Sarfatti and Finkelstein, Brian Josephson, Professor of Physics, Cambridge University, and Max Jammer, Professor of Physics, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat- Gan, Israel, read and commented upon the entire manu- script. I am especially indebted to these men (but I do not wish to imply that any one of them, or any other of the individualistic and creative thinkers who helped me with this book, would approve of it, page for page, as it is written, nor that the responsibility for any errors or mis- interpretations belongs to anyone but me).
