… and based on a novel by Anders Bodelsen (Think of a Number). I haven’t seen the film since it was released in the late 70s but really enjoyed it and would love to see it again.

Sorry, I was wrong about Reader View, so I’ve deleted previous post.

And when I try to skip forward to the 30-minute point, it won’t let me, but continues to play from the beginning. Why do people put up with Substack?

As a critic, Carey was brilliantly insightful about a wide range of authors and periods but he was at his best writing about Andrew Marvell. This past few days I’ve been rereading his lecture “Reversals transposed: An aspect of Marvell’s imagination” (1978), which I haven’t reread often enough.

Well, we’re getting *some* redistribution of wealth. Unfortunately not in the right direction.

I’m reading a mass market paperback from 1996 at the moment. The paper quality is much better than I was expecting.

It would be at least as good an idea to break up the United States. Not necessarily into 50 sovereign states but say into 3: California, Orgon and Washington (with maybe Arizona and Nevada, if they were interested), a second bloc from Illinois over to Maine and south as far as Virginia at least.

Noah be damn’d and all his race accurst,
That in sea brine did pickle timber first.
What though he planted vines! he pines cut down.
He taught us how to drink, and how to drown.
He first built ships and, in that wooden wall
Saving but eight, e’er since endangers all.
