The University of Texas at Austin T. MICHAEL PARRISH
John Bell Hood and the War for Southern Independence. By Richard
M. McMurry. (Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky,
1982. Pp. xi+239. Preface, maps, notes, bibliographical essay,
index. $19.50.)
John Bell Hood, a Kentuckian by birth and a Texan by choice, was
the eighth and last Confederate full general appointed by President
Jefferson Davis. Undoubtedly, he was one of the most controversial
and least understood of the southern military leaders. He rose to fame
as the leader of the fighting Texas Brigade in the Army of Northern
Virginia and ended his military career as the ill-fated commander of
the Army of Tennessee. Brave beyond measure, seriously wounded
twice, Hood had few peers on either side as a brigade and division
commander, but, as most Civil War historians agree, lacked the ca-
pacity for corps and army command.
The author explores in some depth Hood's genealogy, his early
life and his career prior to the war, including his Texas assignment
with the Second U.S. Cavalry, trying to find the key to his wartime
behavior. As several of his contemporaries have done, McMurry por-
trays Hood as a romantic living in an unrealistic world, riding through
life as a chivalrous knight on a white horse. Unfortunately, he devotes
but a small portion of the book to Hood's career with the Army of
Northern Virginia, the most successful months of his Confederate
service. More space is devoted to Hood's "off again, on again" ro-
mance with Sally ("Buck") Preston than to any of the major battles
in the East in which Hood fought. One-half of the book is devoted to
less than one year of the general's participation in the war, his assign-
ment to the Army of Tennessee.
The most significant part of the book is McMurry's handling of
the Atlanta campaign, the subject of his doctoral dissertation at
Emory University. Even so, the detail makes for laborious reading, ex-
cept perhaps for the military analyst and the most dedicated and
knowledgeable of the Civil War buffs.
The author leans heavily on newspapers while ignoring almost
completely other primary sources such as the Confederate Veteran
Magazine and the "Record of Events" entries on the bimonthly mus-
Texas State Historical Association. The Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Volume 87, July 1983 - April, 1984. Austin, Texas. The Portal to Texas History. http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth117150/. Accessed May 27, 2015.

The domestic pig is an important livestock species and there is strong interest in the factors that affect the development of viable embryos and offspring in this species. A limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in early embryonic development has inhibited our ability to fully elucidate these factors. Next generation deep sequencing and microarray technologies are powerful tools for delineation of molecular pathways involved in the developing embryo.
Here we present the development of a porcine-embryo-specific microarray platform created from a large expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis generated by Roche/454 next-generation sequencing of cDNAs constructed from critical stages of in vivo or in vitro porcine preimplantation embryos. Two cDNA libraries constructed from in vitro and in vivo produced preimplantation porcine embryos were normalized and sequenced using 454 Titanium pyrosequencing technology. Over one million high-quality EST sequences were obtained and used to develop the
Using next-generation deep sequencing we have produced a large EST dataset to allow for the selection of probe sequences for the development of the EMPV1 microarray platform. The quality of this embryo-specific array was confirmed with a high-level of reproducibility using current Agilent microarray technology. With more than an estimated 20,000 unique genes represented on the EMPV1, this platform will provide the foundation for future research into the in vivo and in vitro factors that affect the viability of porcine embryos, as well as the effects of these factors on the live offspring that result from these embryos.

The Sedalia Bombers won on a walk-off error in the 10th inning, beating Joplin 4-3 in a MINK League game Tuesday at Dey Field at Liberty Park.
Daniel Arthur led off the 10th with a walk and went to second on a sacrifice. He scored when Sedalia centerfielder Jarrod Perry hit a two-out grounder to short and Joplin's shortstop one-hopped the throw past the firstbaseman.
"I was trying to see a fastball and see if I could drive something up the middle," Perry said. "I didn't hit it as hard as I wanted to, but it got the job done."
Bombers starter Cole Bartlett lasted eight innings for the no decision, striking out one and allowing three runs on eight hits.
"He struggled a little early, but really settled down," said Bombers manager Jud Kindle. "He started to find the zone a bit better in later innings. That inning that he struggled, those were hits, but we made some defensive mistakes behind him."
Joplin got on the board in the second inning. With a man on and one out, Perry made a diving attempt at a flyball from Joseph Paulino but could not quite get there, resulting in runners on the corners. The next batter up was former Bomber Ty White whose infield single scored one run. Paulino scored later in the inning when Ryan Lazo beat out a grounder.
The Bombers got one run back in the bottom of the inning. Jordan Dey and Jess Cartner led off the inning with singles and Dey scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Arthur.
The Bombers had chances in the third and fourth but could not cash in. Perry hit a double down the left field line in the third. The next inning, Shain Showers took first on a dropped third strike and went to third thanks to a pair of wild pitches. Neither scored.
Meanwhile the Outlaws added a run in the fourth when Matt Turner doubled home White. They nearly had another in the sixth, loading the bases before a grounder to first ended the inning.
The Bombers cut the lead to 3-2 in the sixth. Dey ripped a single to lead off the inning and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Arthur.
For Dey, batting cleanup, the game saw him go 2 for 3 with a walk. The one out came on a hard-hit linedrive right at the shortstop.
"I changed my approach the other day," he said. "I didn't have a good approach at the plate and (Tuesday) I got a lot of off-speed pitches. When they're throwing off-speed, you're going to expect it. Whenever I expected it, I sat back and went with it."
The Bombers eventually tied the game in the eighth. Jonathan Ramon laced a double down the left field line to score Alex Bee to make it 3-3. But the Bombers could not takes the lead, leaving the bases loaded in the inning.
They could not capitalize on a chance to win the game in the bottom of the ninth. After a wild pitch, the Bombers had runners on second and third with two out, but Showers flew out to right to end the inning.

Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: Two separate meetings here on Sunday to mobilise support for separate Telangana were of the view that nothing could be expected of Srikrishna Committee in terms of serving their interests and called for strengthening the movement by moulding public opinion.
Political Joint Action Committee convener M. Kodandaram told a meeting of Telangana Pharma and Chemical Employees Association that the Srikrishna panel was technical in nature and hardly had any role in the matter of formation of Telangana State. He asked the political leadership to strive for legislation to pave way for separate Telangana in Parliament.
Asking Congress and Telugu Desam to go to Srikrishna Committee on a single stand, Mr. Kodandaram said they should avoid double standards on bifurcation of the State. The Telangana movement gave people of the region a voice, personality and courage, he added.
Former Telangana Rashtra Samiti MLA Eatala Rajender denied legislators of his party, TDP and BJP who resigned recently, had become victims of political developments. In fact, they were proud of quitting. He said the resignations reflected their resentment over the snatching of fruits people got from the hunger strike undertaken by TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao. The stir resulted in Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram making an announcement in favour of separate Telangana but it was quickly overshadowed by a rival movement in coastal districts.
Mr. Rao's daughter and founder of Telangana Jagruthi, Kavitha said the liberal alienation of land around Hyderabad to business houses had become an emotional issue to Telangana.
'No legal sanctity'
At a separate meeting organised by Telangana Coordination Committee, a professor of Jawaharlal Nehru University I. Thirumali said there was no legal sanctity to Srikrishna Committee. He said the political leadership of Telangana lacked reputation to press the demand for separate Telangana with the Centre.
Human Rights Forum vice-president Burra Ramulu said the demand for alternate political leadership gained strength because the leaders at the helm failed to deliver. He called for a leadership to sustain the movement over a long period.

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli is delighted with the early AC Milan form of Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli left Manchester City in January for the Diavolo and he's netted four goals in four games for his new club.
"I'm seeing a great Balotelli," Prandelli told QS. "He is a player regenerated by the fact that he is close to his family again."
Not only can Prandelli now keep a closer eye on the striker, he can also see him in action alongside promising Italian forward Stephan El Shaarawy.
"As the national team boss, I have to be delighted to see Balotelli and El Shaarawy playing alongside each other," he added. "They are not incompatible."

PORTLAND - A Portland woman plans to work a different job every week for a year.
I just turned 60, but I feel like it s never too late, said Linda Chase. She is 14 weeks into her job journey and so far she s made coffee, served popcorn at the movies and been a middle school aide just to name a few.
The weirdest job is being a campaign worker and standing on the corner with people so passionate about a candidate. It s like they d all had a triple shot of espresso, she joked.
Linda decided to juggle jobs each week after meeting Canadian author Sean Aiken on an airplane. He produced a documentary based on his own experience working 52 jobs in a single year after he finished college.
It was like a light bulb went on and I thought I m someone who could do this, she remembered. Her working hours are being documented by a filmmaker so her story can be shared.
She s 60 years old and has raised two kids. It s a lot different doing this now than when someone is in their twenties, said Jason deParrie-Turner of Heliorana Film.
Linda lost her husband to cancer three years ago. An extensive job search lead to only a few interviews even though she has a Masters in Speech Communication.
We went through foreclosure and a lot of hard knocks but this was a way to get me out the door in the morning, she explained. She admits the whole concept sounded exhausting but has found the experience to be therapeutic. I do feel stressed with planning each job and blogging about each one but it s been so good for me to feel useful, she said.
Only a third of the jobs so far have paid and so many of her work hours have been as a volunteer.
With her two children in college and rent to pay, she is looking for more positions that pay or sponsors for the project. Asked about her favorite job at this point, the animal lover was quick to respond.
I don t think anything can top being an alpaca ranch hand. She has 38 more weeks to find out.

Site Status
From 1987 thru 2010, remedial activities have occurred at the DuPont Spruance Plant (Facility) to address impacts to human health and the environment. The RCRA Facility Investigation/Corrective Measures Study report submitted by the Facility was approved by EPA in 2011. Based on the findings set forth in these reports, VDEQ has determined that past operations at the Facility have resulted in soil and groundwater contamination, and that further actions to remediate soil and groundwater are necessary to protect human health and the environment given current and reasonably anticipated future land use.
The Facility submitted a Class II Permit Modification request to modify its Hazardous Waste Management Permit for Corrective Action (Permit), which was approved on September 5, 2012. The Final Remedy for the Facility emphasizes source control through the improvement of the existing Groundwater Treatment System (GWTS), maintenance of the existing capping of soils with concentrations of contaminants above remedial goals, and continued long term groundwater and surface water monitoring to ensure clean up goals are met. Finally, institutional and engineering controls will be implemented through the development of a UECA Covenant to prevent current and potential future exposure to contamination.
A Corrective Measure Implementation (CMI) 30% Design Work Plan (WP) was approved on June 24, 2013; a CMI 90% Design WP is expected to be submitted by June 2014.
The DuPont Spruance Facility is located in Chesterfield County, Virginia, along the southern border of the City of Richmond. The site property is approximately 525 acres. It is bordered on the west by Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. Route 1) and on the east by the James River. The site is located just northwest of the I-95 and I-895 interchange.
The site has been in continuous operation since 1929 as a manufacturing plant for textile fibers and sheet products. In the nearly 70 years of operation, DuPont has significantly expanded its operations and intends to continue operations at the Spruance Facility in the future. Manufacturing products have included Kevlar®, Nomex®, Nylon, Mylar®, Tyvek®, and Zytel®.
There are no plans to use any portion of the property for non-industrial purposes. The properties immediately surrounding the Spruance Facility are entirely industrial and commercial in nature.
Contaminants and Risks
The voluntary investigations as well as the RFI determined that constituents were widely distributed in groundwater with only limited areas of impacted soil. DuPont Spruance has collected groundwater samples from approximately two hundred fifty (250) monitoring wells located on and adjacent to the facility. The groundwater constituents of potential concern (COPCs) identified are carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), trichlorofluoromethane (TCFM), vinyl chloride, and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Groundwater is not used on the site for drinking water, and no downgradient users of off-site groundwater exist between the site boundary and the James River.
Institutional Controls
Institutional Controls (ICs) and Engineering Controls (ECs) at the Facility will be implemented in accordance with the Final Remedy Implementation requirements described in the Facility's Permit. ICs and ECs will include (but will not be limited to) the prohibition of the use of the property for residential use, and the use of groundwater beneath the property except for non-contact cooling water. A draft UECA Covenant was submitted to VDEQ for review in March 2014.

Interview with S.K. Voltaire at Silent Knight Comics
Posted on June 5, 2014 AT 06:56am
Below is an interview with S.K. Voltaire, lead writer for Silent Knight Comics, a brand new comic publisher in the making.
Joey Iglesia: Where did you guys get the idea to open a new comic book company?
S.K. Voltaire: Well originally the story I was writing was In the form of a script. It was about a team of superheroes but when our executive producer backed out, the director (Frank Ruiz) had the idea of breaking up the heroes and starting a comic universe. So he founded Silent Knight Comics and a new universe of superheroes was born.
Joey Iglesia: Considering this project was originally suppose to be film, do you ever see your heroes coming to life on the silver screen?
S.K. Voltaire: Of course! We would love that, however right now we're concentrating on selling comic books and graphic novels. Our universe continues to expand with new and exciting characters each day. Changing the medium for tv series to comic book universe has made the characters and stories a hundred times richer. So although I think the silver screen is far off, I have overheard some talk about ,and seen concept art, a few possible animated series but I'm just a writer, you'd have to ask Frank Ruiz about that one.
Joey Iglesia: As a comic writer, you must have experience with storytelling, can you describe the process when forming a new story or creating a new event in the plot of a comic book.
S.K. Voltaire: Well I have rather unconventional methods. I typically create the characters in great detail first. Their looks, bio, personality, likes, dislikes, love interests, rivals, etc. Then I just create a setting and put myself into that character's shoes. With an extensive background In acting, I'm good at taking on different personas. It's like a form of meditation. Once I've lived in that world for a while, I put it down on paper, or in my laptop.
Joey Iglesia: Do you have any tips for other comic writers who are new to the business?
S.K. Voltaire: I think the best advice I could give would be to remember when you are writing you have to have your heart and soul into it. If you force it, something will feel off. When your heart is in it, readers can tell. It affects the quality of the story and the depth of your characters.
Joey Iglesia: Did you have inspiration from any existing characters in DC, Marvel, Image or any other publishing company?
S.K. Voltaire: I am a huge DC fan, but I love Marvel too mainly X-men. I love the X-force. I have been inspired a lot by comics I've read growing up, but every hero since Superman has some sort of inspiration, Bob Kane being inspired by Zoro to create Batman.
Joey Iglesia: Who do you think will be the main seller for you comic book?
S.K. Voltaire: Probably our premier heroes, Commander and Titan
Joey Iglesia: When will we see comics hit the shelf?
S.K. Voltaire: Christmas this year for sure. Just In time for the holidays!
Joey Iglesia: Do you plan to visit cons?
S.K. Voltaire: So far we have been approved for Florida SuperCon and we are In talks with ComicCon Tampa and I heard we might travel to Texas or even out of country later this year
Joey Iglesia: Where do you see the future of Silent Knight?
S.K. Voltaire: Hopefully growing to rival DC and Marvel. It has the potential. It's hard for me not to talk about it, I'm so excited.
Joey Iglesia: What is one thing you can say that readers will love?
S.K. Voltaire: Oh wow, theres a lot. Each character is deep. There is a lot to learn and love, or hate, about them. If I had to say one thing, for me, its the villains. Both DC and Marvel have great villains, but each one of our villains are absolutely awesome. You have to remember that with these other major comic companies they have old characters that used to be cool but now might come off a bit corny, especially on film but we have the amazing advantage of having had grown up with decades worth of examples and inspiration, and that's what makes us so great. We have an unfair advantage that companies like Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse didn't have.
Joey Iglesia: Do you guys ever see yourself partnering with smaller companies to get their ideas out there or partnering like Vertigo with DC
S.K. Voltaire: Sure, if one of them was willing to. I could see us doing a crossover. Our universe, though it will be revealed in phases, is as vast as the major comic universes. We have, I think, roughly over 25 heroes and twice as many super villains and we haven't released an issue yet. So yeah, we would be interested and there is plenty of material to pull from.

1. Standby list
As we work with NSW authorities on the planning of the Newcastle Challenge for next February, it has emerged that total rider numbers may have to be capped.
Therefore we have temporally suspended further event entries until we have a clear idea of how many riders can be accommodated in the event.
This does not necessarily mean you have missed out if you have not yet entered. We have created this standby list where you can register your interest and you will then be first in-line for an entry when event numbers are clarified.

Advances in the Mode of Action of Pyrethroids

The ability to clone, express, and electrophysiologically measure currents carried by voltage-gated ion channels has allowed a detailed assessment of the action of pyrethroids on various target proteins.
Recently, the heterologous expression of various rat brain voltage-gated sodium channel isoforms in Xenopus laevis oocytes has determined a wide range of sensitivities to the pyrethroids, with some channels virtually insensitive and others highly sensitive. Furthermore, some isoforms show selective sensitivity to certain pyrethroids and this selectivity can be altered in a state-dependent manner. Additionally, some rat brain isoforms are apparently more sensitive to pyrethroids than the corresponding human isoform. These finding may have significant relevance in judging the merit and value of assessing the risk of pyrethroid exposures to humans using toxicological studies done in rat.
Other target sites for certain pyrethroids include the voltage-gated calcium and chloride channels. Of particular interest is the increased effect of Type II pyrethroids on certain phosphoforms of the N-type Cav2.2 calcium channel following post-translational modification and its relationship to enhanced neurotransmitter release seen in vivo.
Lastly, parallel neurobehavioral and mechanistic studies on three target sites suggest that a fundamental difference exists between the action of Types I and II pyrethroids, both on a functional and molecular level. These differences should be considered in any future risk evaluation of the pyrethroids.

What keeps the 'heart' of a band like Moonstar88 beating all these years?
More News from INQUIRER.net
Interestingly enough, Moonstar88, despite being part of the local scene–on and off–for more than a decade, still has a timeless appeal about them. So much so that most listeners and music aficionados do not feel that this veteran band is an "old act" to watch or passé to listen to when compared to newer bands that have started to make their own marks.
Even with the change of lead vocalist a couple of years ago, they still have managed to keep that signature "Moonstar88 sound" about them and not lose it over time. That is one reason they have kept a loyal following to this day.
Furthermore, the members of Moonstar88 have band chemistry. I believe it is because the old and new members all share some similar personality traits which has generated to the harmonious working relationship among themselves. Herbert Hernandez, Maychelle Baay, Pao Bernaldo, and Bon Sundiang all seem to have a goal in mind and that is to continue their band's existence in delivering quality sentimental and inspired love songs that are uniquely and undeniably OPM at heart.
I already had a good impression about them years ago and this perception of mine was further cemented in my mind when I was lucky enough to be able to interview Moonstar88 a few months back. During that interview, I found them to be forthright and sincere in their answers and very professional in every sense of the word. And there is a palpable "warmth" about them which to me represents musicians who have a clear understanding of their purpose–of why they are here and why they are still making music together.
Coincidentally, each time Moonstar88 released an album and in between the years that they didn't do so, significant events did unfold in the local scene. FM stations that had strongly supported the local scene are now defunct or have been completely reformatted to the point that you feel their original format had never existed–with DJ's then who were knowledgeable and passionate manning the booth and playing music that people actually wanted to listen to. Now, when you listen to these reformatted stations, you would hear senseless banter and shameless boisterous laughter from these "goof ball" radio DJ's who seem to have nothing informative or of value to contribute to the listeners who would have actually–and "sana" –have learned a bit or two from them. To add to the blow, a few long time establishments have closed, and major bands have ended their run, as well.
But on a more positive note, while some things have changed for the worse in the local scene, one of those things that have remained constant is an inevitable new studio-release from bands like Moonstar88. Whether it would take 2 or 5 years in between new studio-releases from the acclaimed and respected local band, they have remained consistent in always coming back and returning with a brand new record for everyone and not just for the hopeless romantics. I, for one, am glad that Moonstar88 is still around and I hope they continue to make music for many more years to come.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Closer analysis of the patent office "non-final" decision on a human embryonic stem cell patent held by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) shows the following gains made for researchers:
-- The original broad patent was abandoned showing it was underserved and new amended claims have been narrowed.
-- The original patent covered all embryonic stem cells no matter how they are derived, but the amended "non-final" ruling, while permitting the patent, narrowed the claim only to stems cells derived from pre-implantation embryos.
-- The newest stem cell research technology -- Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (IPS cells) -- would clearly not be covered by the narrowed patent.
-- Stem cells derived from fetal tissue could have been claimed under the old patent, but now cannot be.
Consumer groups still believe the narrowed patent is invalid and should be revoked. They intend to challenge the latest patent office decision.
The challenge brought by the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) and the Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) already produced a major victory for consumers and researchers when WARF announced in January 2007 that it was substantially easing its licensing requirements on stem cells. The groups filed re-examination requests on three patents, the '913, '806 and '780 in July 2006.
"We've made progress in thwarting WARF's overreaching patents and changing the organization's aggressive behavior toward the research community," said John M. Simpson, FTCR Stem Cell Project Director. "We are in this for the long haul."
The groups said they would appeal any later final decision by the
examiner supporting the amended claims to the Patent and Trademark Office's
Board of Appeals, which frequently overturns the decision made by
examiners. The groups also have the right to appeal any decision of that
board to the U

Critical Review by Richard Eder
SOURCE: "Faces of Revolution," in Los Angeles Times Book Review, September 18, 1994, pp. 3, 10.
In the following review, Eder emphasizes the theme of change, both social and personal, in the South Africa of None to Accompany Me.
There are revolutions—the French, the Chinese, the Russian—that devour the children who made them. More often, perhaps, it is a matter not of being devoured but of being digested. A little ahead of the curve of history, as always, Nadine Gordimer writes of two anti-apartheid fighters from whom victory, like a river rising and jumping its bed, has begun to withdraw and leave stranded.
None to Accompany Me takes place in the blurred and confusing excitement of South Africa in the early 1990s. Nelson Mandela was out of jail and negotiating with the government, the black exiles were returning and change was happening too quickly to be legalized or stopped—or safe. What with so many straws, leaves and twigs in the wind, it was like Birnam Wood advancing.
Two of the characters, for example, meet at an elegant gallery. It was showing a black painter "whose work had become fashionable since city corporations and white collectors had seen such acquisitions as the painless way to prove the absence of racial prejudice." Gordimer is a master ironist; here she plays in light tones.
She can play in darker ones. Odendaal, an Afrikaner farmer, refuses to negotiate with several thousand squatters. At the same time—if you can't lick the devil perhaps you can make a profit off him—he quietly but unsuccessfully tries to get the government to proclaim the land a black township and buy it up.
In a patriarchal fury, but not really losing his head as it turns out, he enlists a band of white commandos. Nine squatters are killed and many wounded, including their leader, Zeph Rapulana, one of the book's pivotal figures and one of its richest. Zeph is not happy about it—Gordimer is rarely simplistic—but he recognizes the advantage. Both sides will profit. With nine dead, at a time when De Klerk and Mandela are subtly maneuvering toward change, the government will have to give the squatters the land. And Odendaal will be handsomely paid.
Two families are the center of the novel. Their fortunes, their nerves and their deepest sense of themselves all refract the change between the old struggle and the new times. As other authors use sexual passion, Gordimer is able to use politics as the fine psychological matrix of her characters. (In this novel Gordimer uses sex too, and in some detail, but she uses it awkwardly; it lacks pheromones.)
Vera and Ben Stark are privileged and conscientious whites. She has worked for 20 years as the indomitable moving force in a foundation that fought apartheid in one of its cruelest aspects: its forced displacement and resettlement of rural black communities. Her husband, a sculptor once, became a businessman to provide security for her dangerous life.
In their youth two of their closest friends had been Didymus Maqoma, a budding Soweto lawyer, and his wife, Sally. Their families would spend weekends together at the Starks' pleasant house, despite the apartheid restrictions. Then the Maqomas disappeared, ostensibly abroad. In fact, while Sally lived in London, Didymus went underground as one of the top leaders of the African National Congress resistance inside the country.
Now they are back. Among the hundreds of returned exiles he has pride of place—a chauffeured car met him at the airport—as one of the movement's authentic heroes. But he had made enemies; and in any case his courage and fighting qualities are not what are wanted. Flexibility and the ability to negotiate with the white powers are what counts. Shockingly, he is excluded from the newly elected executive committee.
Sally, on the other hand, who had lived quietly during the fighting years and held their family together, is elected in his place. She had been put in charge of finding jobs for the returning exiles. To do so she had to deal with the business community; and she showed such tact, energy and talent for it that she has become a rising star. The night of her election, and his defeat, she rages and mourns in their bedroom; at the same time she feels a dizzying exhilaration.
Vera's passage is less marked and less dramatic. She remains active in her mission to fight for displaced black claimants. She works with Zeph against Odendaal. And, reluctantly, she will let herself be elevated to the mixed commission in charge of drafting the crucial document of the future: a constitution. Her decline has to do with a gradual loss of function: White heroes will no longer be relevant to the fight for black empowerment. The word itself is a displacement for her. "What is this new thing?" she asks Zeph. "What happened to what we used to call justice?"
There is a hint of "Animal Farm" foreboding here and in a few other places, but it is only a hint. Gordimer can at the same time be ironic about the changes, committed to them and capable of seeing the dangers. There are shadows on the new forces; there is also the infinitely promising figure—though with his own dangerousness—of Zeph. By the end of the book he has achieved stature, deepened mystery, and perhaps large promise.
None to Accompany Me is a political novel of intelligence and subtlety and it brings us news that we need. It is more than that, as well; though its more is somewhat less successful. The characters have an expository function, and for the most part what they have to expound is worked into their vital condition. Several are memorable; particularly Vera's endearing assistant, Oupa, who becomes a tragicomic victim of the changing times, and Didymus and Sally. Their reciprocal rise and fall makes a political point, but it is also a moving and beautifully imagined account of the intimate shifts within a marriage.
Gordimer works them all hard, though, and sometimes their duties wear their essences pretty thin. The writing grows rough when it tries to do too much, knotting into an odd mix of the baroque and the elliptical. This is particularly true with Vera, the novel's main voice. Her personal history, her emotions and her character get the fullest treatment of anyone. She has a gnawing will to power, as well as genuine nobility, and Gordimer works it into her two marriages and her two adulterous affairs. The more deeply she is opened up to us, though, the more effortful and less real she becomes. She and the author seem to need a certain distance from each other.
Measured distance lights up the book's most haunting link between the political and the personal. Vera's function as white mentor dissipates gradually; gradually too, she is growing old. Her last love—her husband has faded away—can exist only as a relinquishing. No One to Accompany Me, alludes both to the waning of all white hegemonies, even that of heroic idealism, and the waning of old age. Gordimer's novel is prophetic, and it has the very still quality of what is already passing. Your truest revolution is your clock's: recurring each 24 hours, always predictable and always a dismay.

All the regional seafood classics, including famed New England chowder, stunningly good crab cakes, and wood-grilled seafood can be found here at the Cambridge outpost of the Legal chain. Just as worthwhile are more modern takes: Italian seafood stew, for example, and blackened rare tuna with sesame-chile vinaigrette.

Part of a large chain. Maybe not the best seafood spot locally, but still a good option. Food generally good (probably the best place to get the really thick kind of New England clam chowder), rather expensive, OK service. A weaker location in this chain than the others, food and service is more inconsistent.

I visited a pal in Cambridge recently and she and I and another friend went to Legal in Harvard Square for Saturday lunch. We decided to sit at the bar, and we had a great time; the two of them had oysters as a starter. Our guy friend had a bowl of chowder, my pal had a salad and I had coleslaw and a fish sandwich. The bartender was charming and attentive and we all thought the food was tasty. The slaw was one of the very best I've ever had.
No Thanks
