A young Maryland boy named Joshua Eisner, 14, committed suicide early in
June. He used a reproduction civil war era black powder rifle to do it. Now
his father is launching an ill-advised and unnecessary drive to force more
gun laws on Marylanders, pushing an idea he wants called “Joshua’s law.”
According to his obituary, young Joshua was interested in music and history,
the latter being why he owned the old-style firearm. News reports say that

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Confidential diplomatic cables from the U.S. embassies
in Beijing and Hong Kong lay bare China's growing influence as America's
largest creditor.
As the U.S. Federal Reserve grappled with the aftershocks of financial

investments in American financial firms -- from Lehman Brothers to the
Primary Reserve Fund, the money market fund that broke the buck.

The healing power of art is not a rhetorical fantasy. Fighting to keep
language, language became my sanity and my strength. It still is, and I know
of no pain that art cannot assuage. For some, music, for some, pictures,
for me, primarily, poetry, whether found in poems or in prose, cuts through
noise and hurt, opens the wound to clean it, and then gradually teaches it
to heal itself. Wounds need to be taught to heal themselves.

One fact that must be accepted by all is that our presence on this earth
will come to an end. Various theories have been put forth regarding what

A hundred thousand whom the earth devours,
Who, torn and bloody, palpitating yet,
Entombed beneath their hospitable roofs,
In racking torment end their stricken l... 阅读全帖
