Stalwart

The American legal system is widely admired for its laudable moral qualities such as liberty, justice, and due process. Americans take great pride in seeing the legal system administer swift and fair penalties to those who have committed crimes. But what happens if the legal system is wrong? What if the person that was sent to prison, or executed by the state, did not commit the crime they were punished for? This was the situation that Ronald Cotton found himself in during the 1980s and 90s…

“We knew the world would not be the same,” Robert Oppenheimer says slowly [1]. He swallows, and continues, keeping his eyes downcast. “A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.” This man, known as the stalwart powerhouse behind the Manhattan Project, now stumbles over his words. He wipes his eyes dry, trying to keep his voice level. “I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and…

Chandra Roy, Chief Minister of our state and the Chairman of our Executive Council was keen to see that BITM develops as a science museum, something like the Science Museum London or the Deutsch Museum, Munich. Sthanapati: Did you interact with stalwarts like Mr G D Birla, Mr M P Birla, Dr B C Roy or Prof S N Bose in BITM? Bagchi: Of course many important personalities used to come to our museum when I was there. But I did not meet Mr. G D Birla in BITM. Mr. M P Birla was the Chairman of our…

land they are expected to take part in traditional activities, not take part in activities they are obligated to do by the increase of McCulture. McCulture is an American tradition and that it should remain in America Michael Prager writes, “It is a stalwart encounter in which Naim unflinchingly asks important questions about McDonald’s a pervasive purveyor of American culture outside America and lightning rod of the anti globalization protest movement, and Greenberg gives no ground in…

I am a Caucasian, over forty, middle class, Christian American female; technically a third generation American of Multicultural European Caucasian decent (I do not find it politically incorrect to label myself Caucasian and will refer to that status as white). Growing up I was called a mutt by my family members for all the different nationalities that I was mixed with; Austrian, Czechoslovakian, Irish, Russian, Lithuanian, Slavic or Polish (not exactly sure). On my mother’s side, my maternal…

1. I love the provocative question asked about the difference between force v. persuasion. And what a nicely formed question. One of the many things I find in my everyday life teaching the kids the difference between argumentation and debate.

Socrates certainly was pleading, but in that mind set, is that more of a persuasion? One might even debate that manipulation…

If you’re not familiar with Hot Chip, let me introduce you: Hot Chip is a synth-driven, pop-fantastic, disco fancy, funk-rock, dancey, sentimental, sassy, experimental anomaly from London. They make original music that doesn’t always make musical sense—by that I don’t mean it’s hard to digest because most of it is enjoyable to listen to. However, they offer melodies, sounds and chord progressions that keep the listener interested and often thinking, “I didn’t expect that.” Their sound is their…

“Perceval? I’m worried about Pawl,” Joan fretted while they prepared for the day in their quarters. “He’s not himself. He’s quiet and evasive.” Perceval sat on the edge of the bed and pulled on his boots. “Isn’t that better than bombastic and ranting?” “I don’t know. I thought it might be, but I’m worried. What if there’s something really wrong with him? I asked and he won’t say a word.” Months ago, Court Healer Pawl had confessed to Joan the reason he behaved the way he did – and the reason he…
