I remember how overplayed it was on the radio. By the way, the theme song to this film received TONS of airtime back in the 80s. And, perhaps all the more unpleasant because it's mostly true. It's definitely a movie to watch with some Kleenex nearby. My only complaint, and it's not the film's fault, but the story is depressing and hard to watch. ![]() It's a very high quality production with lovely acting and is well written. ![]() Together, you have two very fine actors.with capable support from quite a few familiar character actors, such as Steven Hill, Stockard Channing, Jeff Daniels, Catherine O'Hara and quite a few others. Nicholson is definitely a secondary character in the story. The film's star is Streep.and she's in the lion's share of the movie. Not surprisingly, the marriage cannot withstand this and the film is about this process of discovery, divorce and, eventually, life going on from there. They have a child and another's on the way when she discovers he's cheating on her. Soon they both marry and things seem swell. The story begins when Mark and Rachel (Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep) meeting. Clearly this is a great example of a wronged wife getting her revenge. While names were changed in order to avoid lawsuits, the story is about her marriage to famed Washington Post writer Carl Bernstein.and how he eventually destroyed the marriage through his infidelity. "Heartburn" is a movie based on the book and subsequent screenplay by Nora Ephron. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Narwhal by ben clanton![]() ![]() And finally, Narwhal and Jelly read the best book ever - even though it doesn't have any words.or picturesīen Clanton showcases the joys of friendship, the benefits of working together and the power of imagination in the delightful Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea.

The book was adapted into a Broadway play: The Caine Mutiny Court Martial. Drawing from his experience aboard the mine sweep during WWII, The Caine Mutiny won the Pulitzer Prize in 1951. It was around this time that Wouk became a full-time writer to support his family. His work was forwarded to a New York editor which resulted in a publisher’s contract, and the novel was published in 1947. He began writing his first novel, Aurora Dawn, during his off-duty hours. He joined the Navy, serving as an officer aboard two mine sweepers, later becoming an executive officer. Wouk started his career as a radio dramatist and later worked for the United States government writing radio spots to sell war bonds. Wouk was born in 1915 in New York City to a Jewish family who emigrated from Russia. ![]() ![]() Many of the ideas and themes explored in the short stories were later revisited in Gibson's popular Sprawl trilogy. ![]() Most of the stories take place in Gibson's Sprawl, an anonymous, shared setting for most of his cyberpunk work.

In this case, what it looks like did not matter because this book is one of the books that will be discussed in the late fall class I am taking in Ottawa through Carleton University’s Learning in Retirement program called Classics of Detective Fiction: From the 1960s to Today. ![]() Of course, once you have a book in your hand, it matters not a whit what the cover looks like though the cover may have helped that book find its way into your hands in the first place. I suppose that is what happens to a successful book as it gains some age. This book, however, seems to have had a lot of different looks. I am surprised though I know that different book formats come with different covers. Interesting the number of covers Ian Rankin’s Black and Blue has had. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While each story arc works well on its own and appear to be independent, by the end all three cleverly converge into a climax that affirm the need to embrace one's heritage and Be Yourself.

In Boston, another city Humboldt had never set foot in, the centenary was marked with a two-hour address delivered by Louis Agassiz. The whole city, according to the Times, “seemed to be in holiday dress.” Flags waved from public buildings, military bands played, and homes were decorated with Humboldt’s portrait. The unveiling was scheduled for 2 P.M., but long before the appointed hour, the paper reported, “an immense throng of people had gathered,” and when the statue was finally revealed “there were not less than 25,000 persons” in attendance. ![]() The following day, the Times devoted its entire front page to chronicling the festivities. On September 14, 1869, the centenary of Alexander von Humboldt’s birth was commemorated in New York-a city Humboldt had never visited-with a parade, a torchlight procession, a proclamation by the mayor, a formal banquet, and the unveiling of a bronze bust in Central Park. Humboldt passed along his love for the natural world to his many admirers. ![]() |
