In the face of a mistake we could remain comfortably silent but we are proud to persist in action, charged with memory and militant solidarity. The attack does not come to life in fervent virtual slogans, it is a threat when it bursts into the streets. These bitter situations are softened when we know from practice that although the State, police and prosecutors are careful to protect their territories, neighborhoods, institutions and infrastructures, the attack is still possible in contexts of control and passivity. With a quick entry and withdrawal from the environment we prioritize the safety of our comrades, understanding that the materials at our disposal come and go, while the life and freedom of our brothers and sisters is the most valuable component of the arsenal. Those who have been here, in the minority and diffuse practice, know that failing an attack is part of the many probabilities that arise in the bravery of the street, when we believe that everything is going well, we are surprised that something escapes from what was arranged and planned.ĭeciding on an electrical system to detonate an explosive charge is not a whimsical decision, it is the result of studying the objectives, our forces and our resources for action.

And You Thought It Would Fail: In one of the anniversary paperbacks, Grant Morrison recalls how an early version of the script was passed around for people to look at.This incarnation was also used by Neil Gaiman in The Sandman (1989), to good effect. Morrison re-imagined him as an emaciated cripple, trapped in a wheelchair, wasted by his inability to dream. Most incarnations of Doctor Destiny have him as a 7-foot tall, muscular titan with a skull for a head.Though the abstract storytelling makes it hard to know for sure, the story also leaves open the suggestion that Bruce Wayne may (or may not) really be either possessed by an evil spirit that gives him a symbiotic connection with Arkham Asylum, or the latest reincarnation of the deranged psychologist who founded the asylum. Invoked by Morrison in response to all the interpretations of Batman as borderline sociopathic, and partly because this was one of Grant and McKean's earliest professional projects.

Donne had a memento mori, lest he forget even briefly that we are born astride the grave – he left it to a friend in his will, ‘the picture called The Skeleton which hangs in the hall’.Īrtists and writers especially were expected to contemplate death: there were rumours (probably mad and unfounded) that Michelangelo murdered a man and watched him die in order to be able to paint the agonies of Christ more accurately. They prepared intensively for it, contemplated it Donne discussed it in letters that were otherwise about horses and dentistry. Donne lived in a time more familiar with the details and look of death than we almost every adult was likely to have seen a dead body. Scarcely anything exists, Donne wrote with relish in the Devotions, which has not caused the death of someone once: ‘a pin, a comb, a hair pulled, hath gangrened and killed.’ A grim truth, and one which makes our modern attempts to avoid the topic of death look malarially unhinged. The world is made up entirely of things that can kill you. “Spiritually speaking, many of us confronted with the thought of death perform the psychological equivalence of hiding in a box with our knees under our chin: Donne hunted death, battled it, killed it, saluted it, threw it parties,” writes Katherine Rundell in her new biography of the English poet, Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne.ĭid you know?

Rendezvous with Rama (Rama, 1) by Arthur C. Clarke FIRST BOOK CLUB EDITION DEL REY / BALLANTINE We see in him, from earliest childhood, a fierce, unquenchable necessity to be first, to win, to dominate-coupled with a limitless capacity for hard, unceasing labor in the service of his own ambition. Chronicling the startling early emergence of Johnson’s political genius, it follows him from his Texas boyhood through the years of the Depression in the Texas hill Country to the triumph of his congressional debut in New Deal Washington, to his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, of the national power for which he hungered. The Path to Power, Book One, reveals in extraordinary detail the genesis of the almost superhuman drive, energy, and urge to power that set LBJ apart. No president-no era of American politics-has been so intensively and sharply examined at a time when so many prime witnesses to hitherto untold or misinterpreted facets of a life, a career, and a period of history could still be persuaded to speak.
