    The Other Tchaikowsky A biographical sketch of André Tchaikowsky David A. Ferré Cover painting: André Tchaikowsky courtesy of Milein Cosman (Photograph by Ken Grundy) About the cover The portrait of André Tchaikowsky at the keyboard was painted by Milein Cosman (Mrs. Hans Keller) in 1975. André had come to her home for a visit for the first time after growing a beard. She immediately suggested a portrait be made. It was completed in two hours, in a single sitting. When viewing the finished picture, André said "I'd love to look like that, but can it possibly be me?"

Finally, he managed a weak, "Would you say that again?" It was April 1985, and I had just arrived in London to enjoy six months of vacation and to fulfill an overdue promise to myself.

  • A Political Interpretation of Plato's Protagoras and Gorgias
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Self-Deception and the City: A Political Interpretation of Plato’s Protagoras and Gorgias A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Philosophy Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by Mary Elizabeth Halper Washington, D.C. 2019 Self-Deception and the City: A Political Interpretation of Plato’s Protagoras and Gorgias Mary Elizabeth Halper, Ph.D. Director: V. Bradley Lewis, Ph.D. Sophistry and rhetoric possess the disturbing power to appear to be precisely what they under- mine. Sophistry passes itself off as education even as it subverts genuine ethical and intellectual formation; rhetoric looks like a particularly compelling form of communication even as it sub- verts the possibility of seeking truth in speech. This dissertation begins with the claim that Plato wrote his Protagoras and Gorgias to treat of this disturbing power and its political consequences. I argue that the Protagoras and the Gorgias, as representative treatments of sophistry and rhetoric, should be read together in order to gain insight into the genuine art of politics, of which sophistry and rhetoric together form a subversive imitation. First I undertake an exegesis of the Protagoras and the Gorgias, both as individual dialogues and as a composite whole. Then I present systematic and philosophical arguments to support my central thesis, which emerges from my interpreta- tions and is supported by my thematic investigations. This thesis asserts that self-deception isan inherent feature of political communities, whereby political communities both must rely on the efficacy of appearance and cannot acknowledge this very reliance.

  • {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby Doctor Who: 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Doctor Who 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby Doctor Who: 1001 Nights by Emma Beeby. 1001 Nights (Emma Beeby, Gordon Rennie, Jonathan Barnes and Catherine Harvey) Currently Big Finish Production's main Doctor Who range has been divided into four trilogies every year, but with 13 releases in every 12-month cycle, there's always one story that stands alone and this has been reserved for the release for December. For December 2012 this stand-alone story is "1001 Nights" - a Fifth Doctor and Nyssa story starring Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton. "1001 Nights" has been written by: Emma Beeby and Gordon Rennie, Jonathan Barnes and Catherine Harvey. It has been directed by Barnaby Edwards and was recorded on the 7th and 8th August 2012. Joining Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton are: Alexander Siddig, Nadim Sawalha, Malcolm Tierney, Teddy Kempner, Kim Ismay, Debbie Leigh- Simmons, Christopher Luscombe and Oliver Coopersmith. Sylvester McCoy. It has been commented that this story’s lack of ties to other adventures is one of its strengths. As revealed by Barnaby Edwards ‘ The good thing about "1001 Nights" is that you don't need to know any continuity. You don't need to own any other Doctor Who audio stories for it to work - its great strength is that it's not part of a trilogy. It works incredibly well in its own right, and effectively because it's four stories all rolled into one, it's a quartet of new Fifth Doctor and Nyssa stories in one package. Very good value for money! ’.

This award is a great honor, considering that AAHKS is one of the largest organizations in the world dedicated to advancing hip and knee patient care through education, advocacy and research. Their annual meeting brings together thousands of clinicians in early November of each year. A highlight of the meeting is the presentation of awards to those outstanding individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the field of hip and knee surgery. To quote the AAHKS, “The AAHKS Humanitarian Award recognizes AAHKS members who have distinguished themselves by providing humanitarian medical services and programs with a significant focus on musculoskeletal diseases and trauma including the hip and knee in the United States or abroad.” See Dr. Jerry Engh, Humanitarian, page 2 INSIDE: Peter Gabrielli—Partial Knee Replacement Continues to Serve Well Page 5 Mr. Bernie Greene: Hip Replacement Patient—Enduring Sports Competitor Page 6 Hedda and Martin Brock — Dr. Jerry Engh proudly displays his AAHKS A Legacy of Generosity Page 8 Humanitarian Award. dr. jerry engh 2 Dr. Jerry Engh, Humanitarian Continued from page 1 While speaking with him about this From the time that he began his peers in the orthopaedic community.
