Let’s see what the Bible says: “And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The

illustrates more than any other character the brutal ramifications of a repetitive existence. The most consistent consequences of following mundane routines are loneliness and unrequited love. In “Araby,” a young boy wants to go to the bazaar to buy a gift for the girl he loves, but he is late because his uncle becomes mired in the routine of his workday. In “A Painful Case” Mr. Duffy’s obsession with his predictable life costs him a golden chance at love. Eveline, in the story that shares her

He rents an apartment near Prospect Park. He wants nothing but being alone and quiet. He has sold his house after his divorce, and so has no problem with money. He was an insurance agent, but doesn’t know what to do now. His daughter Rachel (a researcher in bio-chemistry) comes to visit him and suggests

As this amount is very low compared to the earning possibilities (contrary to scratchcards or even fruit machines), the risks of loosing money “for nothing” is considered by many as pure entertainment even if winning expectation does exist. This behaviour is of course not characteristic of the British gambler but widespread in the gambling industry. On the opposite, there is a big gap between favourable

politics. Every politic campaign will claim that it will be new reforms, new money, and that the health care system will be better. Politics assure that they will promote the basic well-being of individuals in need. Every day we hear that insurances will help you if you need help one day.

There are a lot of different systems. A

High on the critics’hit list are the traditional forms of advertising that greet schoolchildren each day : the Reebok commercials on Channel One television, which is featured in many classrooms, the Coca-colla spots on Star Broadcasting radio, which is piped into schools, the slicks signs on school buses.

BROOKLYN FOLLIES OVERTURE I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn, and so the next morning I traveled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain.

My parents had moved out of the city when I was three, but I instinctively found myself returning to the neighborhood where we had lived, crawling home like some wounded dog to the place of my birth. A local real estate agent ushered me around to
