    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    I chanced upon a quatrain of Nostradamus while in college, forget the applicable century chapter, but that passage mentions Hitler by name: The evil Hiser... When the child of Germany knows no laws. Padre Pio de Pietrelcina was questioned at his monastery in 1945 as to Hitler's future and he...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Murphy's Law, BBC fare, bit dated 2001 or so, but none the worse for wear. Irish cop in London, troubles back Northern Ireland; wife left him after their daughter murdered. Blames himself, cannot let go. Acceptable undercover dual-life cop drama, cogent tight plot. Solid English thespian strut...

    You know you are getting old when:

    Grad proctor days, tutorial sessions, distant memories.... I didn't start college until I was twenty one; however a few years before I began to realize that there was more to life than baseball and girls. Thrown into circumstances unlike most with older men whom had inner lives, highly read...

    When Travel was Romantic

    Gorgeous pix counselor. How goes your law practice? Speaking about airport security procedure, fifteen years or so ago; while babysitting my sister's kids I took a Playboy away from my nephew. Took it home, looked it over, read through it, tossed out. A week or so later going through Chicago's...

    When Travel was Romantic

    Uncle Sam's Army kicked my ass all over the place. Called my mom around Christmas and she thought I was in Saigon, but told her I was enroute to Bethlehem. :)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    The Quincy, MA young woman brutally slain by a satan thief all too vividly recalls this morning's televised news coverage of certain events shown as war criminal rape and murder. And children were victims. Beyond disgust. Mr and Mrs Leslie received fairly lenient sentence considered against...

    When Travel was Romantic

    Earlier in my travels I seemed a suspicious Irishman, regularly selected for profile. Things seem more relaxed now, aside noted security criticism of books inside carryon. I've noticed that too. First lacks class... I habitually sit in steerage.;)

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    ^ A Susan Hayward movie dimly remembered except Arthur Kennedy took a punch from a cowboy, resentment writ large across his phiz, and Bob Mitchum stepped in. Suzie-Q there for emphasis isosceles triangle. ;)

    The Era -- Day By Day

    ^CTS: I confess, mea culpa, to having seen the late honorable Mr Justice Douglas as foolish aged satyr whose jurisprudence fell wayside against a curmudgeon's seeming sexuality and reluctance to quit stage with a modicum grace. I read enough of him to have known better. :(

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Object. The first thing I learned in law school was to know the facts of the case. And, while in school I did a turn behind the counter of a convenience store; during which time a Chicago cop came in for the free coffee kept for the blue and recounted a local traffic homicide. Pedestrian later...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Caniff plays characters like pawns on a chessboard. Still chess not checkers but with his prognostic grasp of the larger events unfolding readership deserve credit for perseverance. April is far too young for cavalier romping around; so the board game suddenly changes from adroit chess to...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Limerick usage Ireland boyo, not Germany. And Uncle Sam was landlord.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    I recall my mother telling the clan how I would approach her with the Sunday comics section asking her "read me this" and I still remember Dondi and Terry. My introduction to literature. Normandie, undeniably admirable, and equally inexplicable even strange. Or, uncharitably: weird. Padraic...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    My personal inference is Normandie has begun to see reason. She cannot rationally ignore the fact that she has married a louse. But, Merrile aside for a moment, Pat is at least for now stuck in Limbo-a purgatorial that may chastise his guilt while perhaps cleansing his love for Normandie. Ardor...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Many years ago in Munich I met this girl, gorgeous blonde, we were both teenagers, her father was American, had fought in the OSS, stayed in Germany, married a local girl, and his daughter I immediately fell for. She knocked my socks off. And she slipped away. :( But, I met the most fascinating...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    The crux here is that Normandie is a woman of moral rectitude. She is also inexplicable to ordinary expedient measure, which would have witnessed Padraic do the Maciavelli, sans remorse; yet as actor, wife, mother she remains, ostensibly, and her word must be considered valid testament to her...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    The post script panel Lizzie dug up circa 1937 serves legal and moral template, objective statement neither discharged nor suborn vantage 1942 five years later, evidenced Normandie mens rea after felonious assault her husband by Padraic Ryan, defendant.
