![]() “Above all,” said Gaus, “people were offended by the question you raised of the extent to which Jews are to blame for their passive acceptance of the German mass murders, or to what extent the collaboration of certain Jewish councils almost constitutes a kind of guilt of their own.” ![]() ![]() ![]() What Gaus especially wanted to know was what Arendt thought about criticism levied against her by Jews angered by her portrait of Eichmann and her comments about Jewish leaders and other Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, her controversial analysis of the Jerusalem trial of Adolf Eichmann, had just been published in German in the Federal Republic and Gaus used the occasion to generate a “portrait of Hannah Arendt.” The interview ranged across a wide field of topics, including the difference between philosophy and politics, the situation in Germany before and after the war, the state of Israel, and even Arendt’s personal experiences as a detainee in Germany and France during the Second World War.Īlready a cause célèbre in the United States, the book had brought Arendt lavish praise and no small amount of damnation. ![]() Fifty years ago, on October 28, 1964, a televised conversation between the German-Jewish political theorist, Hannah Arendt, and the well-known German journalist, Günter Gaus, was broadcast in West Germany. ![]()

![]() ![]() The 1987 remaster even features narration from cinematic icon Orson Welles, who was firmly in the "I'll do pretty much anything for a paycheck" phase of his career.You can really hear that diversity of artistic sensibilities in the tracks themselves. It's really a mid-'70s progressive rock super-group lineup. ![]() In addition to core Project members Parsons and Eric Woolfson, Tales features contributions from composer Andrew Powell, guitarist Ian Bairnson, singer/actor Leonard Whiting (of 1968's Romeo & Juliet fame), vocalists Arthur Brown, John Miles, Jack Harris and Terry Sylvester and the full rosters of both Ambrosia and Pilot. The musical approach in Tales is as diverse as Poe's stories themselves, reflected in the staggeringly long list of artists who contributed to the album. ![]() Tales of Mystery and Imagination is a musical adaptation of some of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poems and stories, with tracks like "The Raven," "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado." Binge It! Band of Brothers Remains a Compelling WWII StoryMost APP works are framed as concept albums built around a clear, unifying theme, whether it's gambling and addiction in 1980's The Turn of a Friendly Card or the way 1987's Gaudi acts as a sort of musical biography of the famous Catalan Spanish architect. ![]() ![]() The panels unveiled yesterday are part of Callaway County's effort to mark locations on the Gray Ghosts Trail, which traces the history of the war across the northern part of the state. The fight was part of a summer of battles against Porter and other guerrilla leaders that did not diminish until fall. ![]() ![]() Porter had returned to North Missouri to recruit men for the Confederate army. Guitar, a Columbia lawyer before the war, had recruited a militia regiment early in 1862 comprised of men from several Central Missouri counties. The biggest Callaway County battle of the war pitted a mix of Unionist militia and federal troops under Col. "It is a far more pleasant place to be today than it was 150 years ago," former Judge Joe Holt, co-chair of Kingdom of Callaway Civil War Heritage, said in his introductory remarks. They unveiled two roadside interpretative panels that tell the story of the battle, its principal leaders and two modern Callaway County men who, before they died, studied the battle in detail. Yesterday, almost 150 years later to the hour, descendants from both sides of the fight known as the Battle of Moore's Mill came together with Civil War re-enactors and about 100 other spectators to remember that fight. CALWOOD - At noon on a hot summer day in 1862, a Columbia militia colonel led about 800 men in an attack on a Confederate camp of about 260 that included a company of men from northern Boone County known as the Blackfoot Rangers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lisa Immordino Vreeland is married to Alexander Vreeland, Diana’s grandson, but never got to meet Diana before she died. At 70, after being fired from Vogue rather brusquely and disdainful of the idea of retirement, she became a special consultant to The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art until she died in 1989. In 1936, Vreeland was hired as the fashion editor for Harper’s Bazaar – a position she would hold for 25 years before being named the editor-in-chief at Vogue. Lisa Immordino Vreeland is the director of the new documentary “Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel,” an intimate reflection and celebration of Diana Vreeland’s remarkable life and clout in the fashion scene. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Padawan fought heroically against them with his lightsaber, executing a flip and killing several clones, as well as striking down Commander Appo, before being shot and killed by Clone Sergeant Fox. Jukassa attempted to flee via one of the Temple hangars, but he ran into a group of clone troopers on the landing platform. As such, Jukassa and his Jedi brethren were forced to fight for their lives when the Sith Lord Darth Vader and the Grand Army of the Republic's 501st Legion stormed the Temple with orders to exterminate its inhabitants. In 19 BBY, Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, issued Order 66 to the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic, labeling the entire Jedi Order as traitors to the state. ![]() Jukassa fights clone troopers during the execution of Order 66. As Jedi librarian Jocasta Nu conversed with Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jukassa walked up to Nu, who then attended to him after finishing with Kenobi as Jukassa understood the importance of a Jedi's studies. Prior to the start of the Clone Wars, in 22 BBY, Jukassa was present in the Order's library, the Jedi Archives, located in the Jedi Temple on the Core Worlds planet of Coruscant. Zett Jukassa was born in 29 BBY and, after being trained as a Jedi of the Jedi Order, he attained the rank of Padawan during the time of the Galactic Republic.

Every interaction can be misconstrued, but there’s no mistaking the darkening of his gaze, the lingering of his touch, or the illicit image of his bare skin pressed against hers. Kova's power and domination, coupled with Adrianna's fierce tenacity, reveal there is more for her body to learn. As the relentless pursuit of her dream keeps her striving, a passion is ignited within him. She doesn't come close to his high standards.

Her death devastated the author, and she inspired the character of Rose Maylie in Oliver Twist. Mary lived with Dickens and his wife, her sister Catherine, and died suddenly in May 1837, at the age of 17. The exhibition also includes a page from Dickens’s handwritten manuscript of the novel, letters from Dickens discussing the writing process and a previously unseen locket belonging to the author, which contains a lock of hair from his sister-in-law Mary Hogarth. “I know the man’s character perfectly well, but as it would be necessary to describe his appearance also, I ought to have seen him, which (fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be) I have never done.” “In my next number of Oliver Twist, I must have a magistrate and casting about for a magistrate whose harshness and insolence would render him a fit subject to be ‘shewn up’ I have, as a necessary consequence, stumbled upon Mr Laing of Hatton Garden celebrity,” Dickens wrote. ![]() Laing’s office is a stop on the tour, while the letter in which Dickens asked for help in observing the magistrate will feature in the exhibition. ![]() ![]() ![]() Herbal Hill, formerly known as Little Saffron Hill. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The soft-spoken, small-scale art invites viewers in for a bite-size interaction with these impressive pieces, all of which contribute to a larger theme. The gallery layout allows you to look at your own relationship to viewing and consuming artwork because of the nontraditional viewing experience. Park View is symbiotically related to Koch’s enchanting pieces. The unique space is a fully operational gallery running on a miniature scale in the most intimate of ways because you are continuously aware of the idea of this public yet private art-viewing experience. This disparity is heightened by the exhibit’s specific venue: Park View, a 300-square-foot apartment/gallery hybrid in Los Angeles’s Echo Park neighborhood. But this divergence is quintessential to Koch’s creative bravery, as demonstrated by her new show, Aidan Koch: A to Zed. Artwork this soft and delicate runs the risk of being overlooked in an assertive large city like Los Angeles, and to embrace the simple words “pencil on paper” is unusual in our time of mega installations and larger-than-life art-entertainment experiences. The smooth surfaces of her orderly pencil-on-paper drawings and small-scale sculptures are echoed by her delicate fabrications, which instill feelings of a story while leaving enough room for viewers to formulate their own experiences among her pieces. LOS ANGELES - Aidan Koch’s minimalist storytelling is as soft as it is powerful. ![]() Aidan Koch: A to Zed, installation view (photo by Jeff McLane, courtesy of Park View) ![]() ![]() ![]() However and that all being said, I definitely still think that Clementine absolutely needs some parental rules, maybe not as many as her friend Margaret seems to have, but still, I firmly believe Clementine’s parents are more than a bit too laid-back at times (and actually, perhaps even often). ![]() While I generally do tend to find Sara Pennypacker's Clementine fun and endearing as a literary character, I am also finding her somewhat spoiled and a bit too rambunctious for me (but then again, maybe my frustration might also be a bit of displaced jealousy, as I certainly would never have dared to be that spunky, outspoken and spontaneous as a child). ![]() |
