Father Daniel Berrigan is best known as a peace activist, but he spent the latter part of his career caring for AIDS patients at St. Vincent’s hospital in NYC—ground zero of the epidemic in the US. While the religious right preached a message of fear, intolerance and hatred of those infected and the LGBTQ community in general—while President Reagan ignored the death and suffering of thousands, Father Berrigan offered compassion.

“In the late ’80s, Ronnie Leibowitz robbed 21 banks in the suburbs of Tel Aviv for more than $400,000.

Local media crowned him Ofnobank, a combination of two Hebrew words for “motorcycle” and “bank,” and his exploits made him a national celebrity, even after he was identified and caught.”

“The unprecedented nature of the trench warfare in World War I created a communal experience. As the French and British soldiers suffered from being sitting targets, so too did the Germans. Erich Maria Remarque’s novel “All Quiet on the Western Front” may have been written by a German from a German infantryman’s perspective, but it captures all of the existential terror faced by the men who fought in the Great War.”

“Reading Virgil in college, the narrator of “My Ántonia” is struck by the lines “for I shall be the first, if I live, to bring the Muse into my country.” For the Roman poet, “my country” was rural Lombardy; for Cather, transplanted to New York, it was the prairies, cottonwoods, bleak winters, cornfields and homesteaders of 1880s Nebraska. Her first novel, set in patrician Boston and Savoy-Hotel London, she acknowledged a mistake. Turning to “the people and the country that are my own,” she made a second, truer beginning with “O Pioneers!”
“My Ántonia,” five years later, returns to the prairies. Its voice is that of middle-aged Jim Burden, recalling his Nebraska youth, especially the fascinating Bohemian girl Ántonia. The ward of prosperous grandparents, Jim becomes a town boy, goes off to university and Harvard Law, achieves big-city success, marries an heiress. Ántonia slogs on the farm to help her impoverished family, works as a hired girl in town, and later, seduced and deserted, returns to the farm. Years later, Jim revisits Nebraska to renew their friendship.”

“(H.L.)Mencken set out to describe and account for the differences, obvious and subtle, between English and American vocabulary, pronunciation, syntax, intonation, idiom, grammar, slang, euphemism and much more. The job entailed his becoming an etymologist, lexicographer and field worker generally among the native speakers in his own country. Along the way, Mencken, being Mencken, attacked British linguistic pedantry, stodginess and snobbish superiority, while never neglecting American pretentiousness, comic aspiration, and hospitality to foreign words—Spanish, German, Yiddish, Chinese prominent among them.”
