![]() ![]() Capitalizing on nearly two decades of unprecedented American techno-military advancement, the execution of such a wide-reaching surgical campaign signaled a revolution in warfare. Chuikov, remarks regarding the Soviet offensive at Stalingrad, October 1942.Įarly on the morning of January 17, 1991, the multinational Coalition arrayed against Saddam Hussein kicked off an air campaign the likes of which the world had never seen. To force the enemy to take the offensive earlier than at the time which he had set is more advantageous for us than to sit and wait until he is fully prepared. I calculated that it is only by a counterstrike that one can disrupt the enemy’s preparation for a new offensive. ![]()

It is this reason that leads Nora to draw a very smart conclusion: that tests and grades should not be the only way students are judged. Most of all, she does not want her best friend Stephen to feel less good about himself because she is so much smarter. She does not want to leave her regular fifth-grade class to attend the Gifted Program. She does not want her family, friends, or teachers to know that she is highly intelligent because she does not want to be singled out as different. The secret is that she is very, very smart. Fifth-grader Nora Rose Rowley has been keeping an unusual secret for most of her life. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Hemingses, of course, knew of their blood ties to Martha what Martha knew remains shrouded. The Hemings-Jefferson family connection began in 1772, when Wayles’ daughter Martha, born to one of his white wives, married Jefferson. Hemings went on to have eight children with Wayles, including Sally, the descendant of two generations of white man/slave woman relationships. Wayles married three white women and buried them all before he and Elizabeth Hemings became involved. The story begins with Elizabeth Hemings, born in 1735 of a white father and an enslaved African woman, who became the property of John Wayles, an English immigrant to Virginia. Gordon-Reed, author of a previous work on the Jefferson-Hemings relationship, is just the person to cut through the tangle. This “Gordian knot of family relationships” serves as the ligature holding together a remarkable new book, The Hemingses of Monticello. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Though the details of Moshfegh’s books vary wildly, her work always seems to originate from a place that is not quite earth, where people breathe some other kind of air. She sometimes gets the sense that she has the power to conjure reality through her writing. “Did I do this?” Moshfegh said, only half kidding. It was like an enactment of the world inhabited by the protagonist of Moshfegh’s forthcoming novel, “ My Year of Rest and Relaxation,” who works at a gallery in Chelsea, amid objects like a quarter-million-dollar “pair of toy monkeys made using human pubic hair,” with camera penises poking out from their fur. Almost immediately, she was lost in the labyrinth of works for sale: Takashi Murakami’s lurid blond plastic milkmaids with long legs and erect nipples the words “any messages?” spelled out in neon tubing. “I hate this fair already,” she said when she walked in, handing her ticket to a very tall, very pale man dressed entirely in black lace. There was an unearthly quality to the atmosphere inside the Frieze New York art fair, like the air in a plane-still but pressurized, with an unsettling hum-when the fiction writer Ottessa Moshfegh visited to speak about her work one afternoon in May. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The various guises of displacement and resistance examined in this essay include: the involuntary migration of Aboriginal peoples, especially the Nyungar and the Mardudjara, along the rabbit-proof fence towards government-assigned settlements such as Jigalong (equivalent to "reservations" in the U.S.) the forced relocation of mixed-race children (the Stolen Generations) to missionary camps to be made culturally white and the children's heroic journey of escape and homecoming-again navigated through the rabbit-proof fence. This essay analyzes how contemporary Australian Aboriginal storytelling, exemplified by Doris Pilkington Garimara's book Rabbit-Proof Fence and its film adaptation by director Phillip Noyce, transcribes the various experiences of displacement and resistance of Aboriginal peoples and provides a basis for a collective listening/rereading of the nation's complex colonial history. ![]() ![]() ![]() The demigod Dionysius, who lives on Naxos, finds Ariadne and marries her. ![]() Sister Phaedra flees to Athens to avoid the wrath of Minos and because she, too, has fallen in love with Theseus. Fleeing the wrath of Minos, Theseus brings Ariadne to Naxos, a nearby island, where he seduces and abandons her, for no apparent reason. When the hero Theseus arrives with his fellow citizens of Athens as forced tributes to the monster, Ariadne falls in love with him and, with the assistance of Daedalus (yes, THAT Daedalus!) the brilliant engineer, provides the key to the maze prison so that Theseus can slay her brother. Pasiphae is forced by Poseidon's anger at Minos to mate with a bull and gives birth to the Minotaur. There's an amazing cast of well-known monsters, heroes, and deities, but the dual narrations by the daughters of Minos, tyrant king of Crete, and his wife Pasiphae, reveal previously unimagined events and circumstances. Of all the recent books offering lookbacks on the roles of women in Greek mythology, this straightforward rendering of the stories of sisters Ariadne and Phaedra is the most enlightening. ![]() ![]() What he doesn’t know is that his mother hasn’t been paying the motel fees, and soon the family is living in their car.
