"Good for you. My father was in that union", the man said, in the same solemn and reflective tone he would have used for speaking about a religion. It was as though, Parker thought, the mention of the union stirred many memories - of his father, of the pat, of hard times. The man then became vague and lost in smile in thought, and after he had gone Parker asked himself why he lied to such an insignificant man, and concluded: Because he was insignificant. The truth was for those few who really mattered.

An effervescent Cole Porter musical with heaps of toe-tapping numbers. Fred Astaire stars as a dancer who falls for chorus girl Rita Hayworth (and who can blame him?) before being drafted into the army. Robert Blenchley and Frieda Inescort give lively support. (1941).

The thunder ceased, but the rain still continued, and the scene was enveloped in an impenetrable darkness. I revolved in my mind the events which I had until now saught to forget: the whole train of my progress towards the creation, the appearance of the work of my own hands alive at my bedside, its departure. Two years had now nearly elapsed since the night on which he first received life, and was this his first crime? Alas! I had turned loose into the world a depraved wretch whose delight was in carnage and misery; had he not murdered my brother?

WELSH RABBIT - Wales

4 large slices wholewheat bread
225g grated Cheddar or Caerphilly cheese
3 tablespoons of milk or beer
Cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper

Toast the bread; arrange the slices in a grill pan or on a baking sheet which will fit under the grill. Put the grated cheese and milk or beer into a saucepan and heat them together, stirring all the time until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat and add a pinch of cayenne pepper and a grating of black pepper. Pour the cheese mixture over the toast and pop it under a moderately hot grill for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Serve immediately.
This goes well with a tomato and onion salad or a nice crisp lettuce salad with fresh green herbs in it; alternatively serve the Welsh rabbit on its own and follow it with some fresh fruit.

In , (I think), 1874, Karl Marx made a number of marginal comments in Michael Bakunin's Statism and Anarchy. He later published Bakunin's arguments along with his own replies. This is an extract :

BAKUNIN : Universal suffrage by the whole people of representatives and rulers of the state - this is the last word of the Marxists as well of the democratic school. There are lies behind which lurks the depotism of the governing minority, lies all the more dangerous in that this minority appears as the expression of the so-called people's will.

MARX : Under collective property, the so-called will of the people disappears in order to make way for the real will of the co-operative.

BAKUNIN : Result: rule of the great majority of the people by a privileged minority. But, the Marxists say, this minority will consist of workers. Yes, indeed, but of ex-workers who, once they become only representatives or rulers of the people, cease to be workers.

MARX : No more than a manufacturer today ceases to be a capitalist when he becomes a member of a municipal council.

BAKUNIN : And from the heights of the state they begin to look down upon the whole common world of the workers. From that time on they represent not the people but themselves and their own claims to govern the people. Those who can doubt this know nothing at all about human nature.

MARX : If Mr Bakunin were familiar with the position of a manager in a worker's co-operative, he could send all his nightmares about authority to the devil.

As usual, Bakunin was right and Marx was wrong.

 

"No, I can't do it. No, I can't. They'd catch me. They always catch fellas. Always. I can't".

"For a dime?"

"For anything ma'am". He looked pleadingly at her. And then his face lost its fear. He took ten cents from his pocket and rang it up in the cash register. "There", he said with relief. He pulled a little bag from under the counter, whipped it open and scooped some sugar into it, weighed the bag, and added a little more sugar. "There you ar", he said. "Now it's alright.You bring your slip an' I'll get my dime back".

Ma studied him. Her hand went blindly out and put the little bag of sugar on the pile in her arm. "Thanks to you", she said quietly. She started for the door, and when she reached it she turned about. "I'm learnin' one thing good", she said. "Learnin' it all a time, ever' day. If you're in trouble, or hurt, or need - go to poor people. They're the only ones that'll help - the only ones".

Dominance is a trait that seems to creep up on a family without their noticing, if the daily routine gives the dog increasing feelings of supremacy that goes unnoticed by the human members. Dogs with dominant tendencies will be trying their luck as early as when they are still in the nest.

I knew I was good. I knew I was brash. I was brave. And with Goliath that day, I knew that if I could get within twenty-five paces of the big son of a bitch, I could sling a stone the size of a pig's knuckle down his throat with enough velocity to penetrate the back of his neck and kill him, and I knew something else. I knew that if I was wrong about that, I could turn and run like a motherfucker and dodge my way up the hill to safety without much risk of anyone chasing me in all that armour.

It was only the monks of Hibernia in their monasteries who wrote and read, read and wrote, and illuminated, and then jumped into little boats made of animal hide and navigated towards these lands and evangelized them as if you people were infidels, you understand?

A good third of our laws - and each country possesses some tens of thousands of them - the fundamental laws on taxes, excise duties, the organisation of ministerial departments and their offices, of the army, of the police, the Church, etc., have no other end than to maintain, patch up, and develop the administrative machine.

Once, as she turned to walk away, he got hold of her through the back of her uniform, gave her a pinch that turned her face as red as his hair. I think if the doctor hadn't been there, hiding a grin himself, she would've slapped McMurphy's face.
I tried to talk him into playing along with her so's to get out of the treatments, but he just laughed and told me Hell, all they was doin' was chargin' his battery for him, free for nothing, "When I get out of here the first woman who takes on ol' Red McMurphy the ten-thousand-watt psychopath, she's gonna light up like a pinball machine and pay off in silver dollars!"

"Discover effortless toning - You too can look better and feel great"

Joey Bull, 4 times British Fitness Champion praising some vibrating pad things on page 141 of the Argos catalogue.

There is a great picture of a guy and a woman on a sofa in their underwear with these things on, grinning at each other. A box is placed strategically over the man's crotch, so you can't see if he's toning that muscle, (I would).
