Ex Libris: Lehninger-Biochimie

La Vida, by Oscar Lewis, is a study of Puerto Rican poverty in San Juan, Puerto Rico and New York. The sub-title, a chapter heading in the book, refers to the move a family makes, at the urging of a social worker, from a slum dwelling to a housing project, the caserío in Villa Hermosa. The mother talks about how much worse it is for her in the caserío. Housing projects the world over are notorious for being incubators of social unrest, ongoing poverty and crime. A trap, a prison, a dead end. Dios mio! Get me out of here!

Ex Libris: La-Vida, Cruz Moves to a Housing Project

She had remarkable eyes. Clear powder blue with a touch of melancholy. They were not quite innocent yet not piercingly knowing or wise.
To the public, Diana Princess of Wales, was a princess of the fairy tale variety, the object of every projection, male and female alike. In private she was a tortured soul struggling with many demons. Her public life was a constant round of duty and paparazzi.
She became the spokeswoman for the movement to ban landmines. There is a classic photo of her with a black African child whose one leg had been blown off by a leftover land mine. Hounded and abused by the press and the royal family, it seemed only a matter of time before she would be driven to self-destruction.
Despite her privileged social status one could not help but feel a certain empathy for her. But she was different.

The Canadian North was a very big part of my life. From my childhood in Northern Ontario to work in Northern Quebec (Nunavik) along the Hudson Bay to yearly wilderness canoe trips through boreal lakes and rivers. The North is a part of me.

"The Aleph?" I echoed. 
"Yes, the place where all the places of the world meet without mingling, beheld from every possible angle at once…." I tried to make sense of it. 
"But isn't the cellar very dark?" 
"Truth never penetrates an unwilling mind. If all the places of the earth are in the Aleph, then all sources of illumination, all lamps, all veins of light are there." 
"I shall go and look at once." 
(J.L. Borges, El Aleph, quoted in Millennium)

Jaqueline Susann’s novel, published in 1966, was a runaway bestseller in its day although panned by the usual intellectual snobs of the time. The ‘dolls’, of course, are pills - Reds, Greens and Yellows - used and abused in the climb to the top in the fashion biz. By 1974 it had sold 17 million copies and was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records as the best selling novel in publishing history. At present, 2019, it has sold more than 30 million copies world wide.
