I am taken very ill and Mrs Begg denies me access to the electronic toys of the toddler’s which, on having taken a peek today, inform that the Americans, as ever, love a good riot and they are having many such in States and cities ruthlessly controlled by The Children’s Party.
~~
I recall Mr Hedrick Smith, a swell guy and not a bad writer for a corespondent on that aging yellow rag, The New York Times, but then Rick is a fellow Scot and old like myself and men like Rick and I were ever gentlemanly.
~~
Rick was born under the reign of George V while I was born under that King’s son, George VI.
~~
During the last Democratic Party riots called, I think, Occupy Wall Street, Rick put these questions to the rioters in the pristine manner of our joint class and background:
~~
Quo Vadis?
~~
Again for the unlettered, that means:
~~
Where are you kids going with this riot?
~~
Which is, again, to ask:
~~
Whence?
~~
That is to ask~~if you succeed in Occupying Wall Street, after that:
~~
What are you going to do?
~~
Where are you going after your victory?
~~
Other then, that having made the starling discovery that there are rich guys and poor guys:
~~
After the toddlers secure the victory, just what will that victory mean?
~~
After the victory, what comes next?
~~
As, again, Hedrick so pithily put it:
~~
Where’s the follow through?
~~
To which I add only this in the case of the instant riots:
How short the list one could compile of those of whom it can be said that fame and money did not deprave?

Finis Origine Pendet…
The escape commences…

September, 1957

Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic parochial school, called, by anyone of any background, simply: “Chan~al,” a place where, of an autumn day in 1957, school, for me, began and ended in the first convening of the first grade in which a tiny nun, one Sister Dom Bosco, appeared before me, just behind the window appearing at far left of this photograph, and piped out this: “I may be small, but so then, is the Atom Bomb.”
~~
My determination to escape school commenced immediately on hearing about this Atom Bomb business and took 16 dicey and arduous years to finally accomplish.~~

"Jean-Marie Le Pen is a friend. He is dangerous for the political set because he's the only one who's sincere. He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own."~~
