AN UNWRITTEN RULE regarding adolescent health care is that one should never assume that what is true for adults or children will also hold true for adolescents. Unfortunately, in one dimension of health care, adolescents may not be so different from other age groups. Although the limited data presented by Elster et al1 in this issue of the ARCHIVES preclude any definitive conclusions, they suggest that teenagers of racial and ethnic minority backgrounds experience disparities in health care. In a systematic review of the literature, Elster and colleagues found that according to the majority of methodologically sound studies, African American youths received fewer primary care and mental health services than white youths. Comparisons between white and Latino youths yielded fewer differences than between white and African American youths, but when differences were noted, Latino youths also received fewer services. Several large studies indicate that after controlling for socioeconomic status, the prevalence of mental health disorders is the same among all 3 groups of youths; therefore, the observed differences cannot be attributed to differential need. Although Elster and colleagues appropriately call for more research in this area, we would not be terribly surprised if these preliminary data are confirmed.

This volume includes numerous papers by various authors and is an excellent summary of recent knowledge on infantile paralysis. The information in the opening statement by Basil O'Connor about the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was recently reviewed in an editorial in The Journal. In one of the papers Dr. Josephine B. Neal, of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, concludes that the seriousness of poliomyelitis is really overestimated when one considers that there are a large number of cases of the truly abortive type which cannot be accurately diagnosed but which confer immunity. Secondly, there is a large percentage of the nonparalytic type of case which can be diagnosed with a high degree of accuracy. If proper orthopedic treatment is carried out a large number of patients who develop paralysis recover with little or no disability. There is no fear of later unfortunate developments in poliomyelitis as there

Here's a question: If I am looking for a desktop speaker setup to place at most an inch away from the wall, should I even be considering these? I am currently looking at the AudioEngine P4 for the front port and the N22, and I can get them at a great price. Does anyone know how the P4 & N22 combination compares to the Airmotiv?

Speakers with back bass ports need at least a foot of space to sound best, it will still sound good if you put them ext to the wall but not the best theycould be.
Update: the airmotiv 5 and 6 are on sale http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/speakers?page=2 Party on
Well, I ordered a pair of the Airmotiv 6 Studio monitors. They will be used in a fairly large room. (A bit of a gamble I know) I will post a review in about 10 days. I hope they are up to the challenge.

If you're like me and are using them too close to a back wall, plug the rear ports with some foam. My desk has a gap from the back wall, which was turning the whole set-up into a huge bass port -- very far from ideal. The foam fixed that.
Thanks for the tip. I'm still waiting on my preamp/dac to arrive.
Just added the new SVS SB-1000 Subwoofer to my Emotiva 4s. I'm in love. Great sounding combination, highly recommended.

Here's a question: If I am looking for a desktop speaker setup to place at most an inch away from the wall, should I even be considering these? I am currently looking at the AudioEngine P4 for the front port and the N22, and I can get them at a great price. Does anyone know how the P4 & N22 combination compares to the Airmotiv?
I bought a pair of emotiva 5s over the summer.I am for the most part very satisfied with them and I am using them in a desktop siting and they are about 11 inches off the back wall and they sound pretty good though I did have to ramp the bass back to its mininum -4 db setting
because the bass was just to prominent at the higher settings in my situation.Of course an inch away I do not think it would work very well with its bass slot beeing situated in the rear.
I did try the 5s with my living room setup and they performed quite impressively on my two foot sound anchor 4 post stands.They did work somewhat better on video sound than they did on cds in my setting.The room is of medium dimensions and I think the 6 would have worked much better in the living room because of its larger dimensions and its advantage having twice the on board power rating of 201 wats rms per speaker.But the six is much too large for my desktop setting to be considered in that capacity.
But I am very happy with the 5s in my computer set up.I have made one tweak on them I am using a emotiva iec power cord from their cable listing and it works very well with my fives.The 5s sound much better with the upgraded power cable.The cord is very reasonably priced just check out the emotiva website.I am using two meter long power cables in my setup.

ljsegil, the svs sb-1000 seems like it would make a good combo with the airmotivs. I'm curious how you set up a 2.1 system with powered speakers such as the airmotiv 4s though. Do you have a preamp or are you running RCA or XLR to the speakers/sub directly from a DAC?
I'm going from a DAC directly to the sub that has stereo RCA inputs and outputs, then going from the outputs of the sub back to the Emotivas. The sub has a 80 Hz high pass filter on the outputs (not adjustable or switchable) so I set the crossover on the sub to match that. I'm very pleased with the results. I was worried that the bass would get flabby with the sub carrying most of the sound up to 80 Hz, but it seems to be doing surprisingly well, and the stereo separation is not diminished to my ears. And I guess I should mention that the bass does sound good as well.
Thanks for the reply. The base is very good on my Airmotiv 5s, especially considering their diminutive size, but I plan to add a powered sub in the near future for a little extra oomph on the low end. That seems like a simple, effective and relatively inexpensive way of setting up a nice 2.1 system.

Wow, these look quite interesting. I've been enjoying sound from speakers more lately than from my headphone adventures, thus, have been considering upgrading my desktop speakers.
These would be fine to use for games, right? I've been using the Creative T40 II for awhile now and really love them for all my uses. Came from a Logitech Z623. Glad I got rid of the sub.
Searched the thread for any KRKs. I wonder how the Rokit 5's compare, as I'm torn between the two. The front bass port on the R5 may do the trick, because I'm backed up in a corner.
changed my setup a bit. Got a pair of split RCA outputs coming from the DAC and directly to the Airmotivs and the SVS sub, so the Airmotivs are no longer getting their input through the sub. This allows me better control of the system by adjusting the crossover on the sub and allowing the Airmotivs to extend to their natural 50 or so Hz lower limit without being cut off by the high pass filtering of the sub outputs. Better sound than the setup I described above, though I find that I am adjusting the volume on the sub according to the type of music and particular recording to get the sound where I like it, but the result is certainly an improvement.

Hi everyone! So it is my turn to introduce myself to our readers as part of our weekly author bios.
I grew up in London, Ontario Canada and moved over to the big London last September. After studying in Copenhagen for half a year I knew that after I graduated I wanted to come back to here work. I love travelling and the opportunities for inexpensive travelling around Europe from the UK are amazing. Also, as cheesy as it may sound, I wanted to move back to Europe for love. I had been in a long distance relationship for almost a year, from Canada to Italy – so living in the UK is a lot more manageable with more frequent visits to Italy and less of a time difference. Although this 'shorter-long distance relationship' is still difficult it is a huge improvement from being half a world apart.
I love fashion and went to university for business so I started out in search of a career that combined these both. Throughout university I worked part time in a luxury lingerie boutique in Halifax, Canada. This is where I fell in love with gorgeous lingerie and the importance of having quality and a good fit. After moving to the UK, I started at figleaves as a studio intern. In the studio I helped style and fit the models (yes, even the male models) and assisted with photo shoots nearly everyday. While I was an intern a Digital Marketing Assistant position came up and I applied – and voila, here I am today working in DM for figleaves.com.
A few (interesting?) facts about me...
1. I was a competitive swimmer for 13 years, training 20+ hours every week
2. London, Canada, where I grew up, is only about 45min from Stratford – the home town of Justin Bieber
3. I took up golf two years ago and have been playing weekly throughout the summers with my Mom and her friends
4. I have one younger sister who I am very close with – she is visiting me next week and I can't wait to see her!
5. I watch far too much online streaming TV – Gossip Girl, Modern Family, Desperate Housewives, Californication, Better With You, Kardashians....and many others that take up too much of my time, but I'm also too addicted to give any of them up
Hope you all enjoy the blog. Feel free to get in touch any time on twitter @figleaves_reb

NEW YORK — Bloomberg LP and co-founder Tom Secunda are ranked
number one in Institutional Investor's Tech 50, a listing of the
top leaders and innovators in financial technology, according to
results announced today.
Institutional Investor (II) said Bloomberg, over the past 30
years, "has continuously scaled up technology development to
match ever-increasing customer demand for market news and data,
analytics and transaction services." When faced with specialized
client needs and no existing technology available in the
marketplace, Bloomberg has invented its own. Today, II said, the
underlying technology infrastructure for the Bloomberg
Professional service (Bloomberg Terminal) is "second to none."
The service has more than 310,000 subscribers, "a number that
only begins to measure the growth, scope and impact of one of
the premier data and communications platforms serving the
financial world," II added.
Bloomberg and Secunda won the top spot for a long history of
innovation and large-scale moves developed by its 3,000
technologists over the past year, including: Bloomberg NEXT, a
multiyear effort to improve work flow and discoverability on the
Bloomberg Professional service; the launch of Bloomberg
Industries research platform, with contributions from 100
research professionals; and the acquisition of PolarLake, a
provider of enterprise data management technology.
The article recognizes Bloomberg for providing low latency data
feeds and enterprise solutions to its global customer base. "The
same way that Bloomberg automated a lot of the activities in the
front office, we think we can do that in the enterprise,"
Secunda says in the article. "We should be able to produce
something for the industry and sell it at a fraction of what it
would cost one firm to build."
The Tech 50 listing has been conducted annually since 2000 by II
magazine, a leading global financial publication, to rank those
who lead the financial services industry in technological
achievement and innovation. II's editors and staff, with
nominations and input from industry participants and experts,
determine the rankings in four key areas: career achievements
and contributions, scope and complexity of responsibilities,
influence and leadership inside and outside one's organization,
and pure technological innovation.

This week we'll take a look at trends in the next season and at the new shows the networks have promised (or threatened us with) for fall. Then comes a review of an ABC news special on nukes that takes over prime-time Thursday.
The networks are resurrecting, recycling and remaking two great old mystery shows from the '60s: CBS' The Twilight Zone and NBC's Alfred Hitchcock. Hitch did well in a tryout last month, beating the panties off Lace II—and NBC better pray that that trend continues, since it's hired Steven Spielberg to create a third fantasy-mystery series, Amazing Stories. NBC committed to an amazing two years and 44 episodes. That's a gamble.
The real trend here is top talent; you will be seeing more of it on TV. The networks are finally learning what they prove every season: There's only so much talent in Hollywood, and they have to grab for all the genius they can. In the case of Spielberg, it took a two-year commitment to get him. Most people of his caliber don't want the drudgery of a full-time TV job but can be persuaded that producing, writing, directing or acting in one show could be a kick. And that's what these three anthology shows—plus George Burns' Comedy Week, produced by Steve Martin—could provide. A chance for big names to play with TV. Spielberg has Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese directing a few of his stories. Twilight Zone has goose bump manufacturers Stephen King, Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison writing. If it keeps up, this trend could be a real blessing.

As a seasoned Iaido trainer, I get many students in my class who go into the program with katana swords that aren't the right fit for them. Since Iaido is the art of removing the katana from the sheath (saya), striking, and then replacing the sword in the saya all in a fluid controlled movement, blade length is important.
I'll even admit that my first katana was much too big for me resulting in an unexpected cut to my left hand. Luckily nothing too serious but it did alter my outlook from having a katana that looks nice to one that actually fits the purpose planned for the training I was registered in.
When working with a sharp 26"+ blade, safety is a main focus of mine therefore I've altered my registration procedure to notify incoming students of the sizing computations prior to starting class. Get more helpful information about learning brazilian jiu jitsu from this amazing website www.crazy88mma.com .
How does having a sword too long impact safety?
Not having the correct length katana can cause problem in the control of the blade thrusts as well as incorrect depth understandings. Exactly what I mean by 'incorrect depth understanding' is that if the blade is too long it becomes easy for one to underestimate the reach it will have while in training. If your real blade length reaches farther than what you view it will reach you can easily harm yourself or others participating in the training with you.
How to size the blade
There are numerous techniques for sizing and depending upon the sensei you speak with each may recommend a various sizing method. There are two factors to consider to make when sizing a katana; the deal with (tsuka) length and the blade length.
1.) To size the tsuka place your arm to your side with your forearm straight ahead so that your elbow makes a 90 degree angle. Now use a tape measure to determine the length from your elbow to the base of your wrist. This is approximately how long your tsuka needs to be. If you're tsuka is too long it can disrupt your movement and get caught on your side triggering the blade to slip.
2.) For determining blade length the approach I have discovered to work best and suggest my students to follow is a height to blade length ratio chart (one can be seen below in the resources section). If you are 5' 2" tall your blade length must be 27.5" and for each 2" in height include a half inch to the blade length.
If you're still uncertain about exactly what length to get you can constantly start off Iaido training with a Bokken, a wooden training sword. I actually suggest this since it enables you to familiarize yourself with the art without doing so at the risk of hurting yourself or others around you.
Now keep in mind that these sizing methods are merely my approach for sizing my students and you ought to consult your sensei on the proper length prior to acquiring a katana.
A Quick Look at BoguKumite Kickboxing
The more you find out about karate and kickboxing, the more likely it is that you're going to be impressed by the exceptional number of varieties that exist within these concepts. BoguKumite kickboxing is possibly one of the most intriguing offshoots of kickboxing.
This design of kickboxing could certainly be referred to as full contact. While it has a number of similarities to other forms of karate and kickboxing, there are most certainly a couple of aspects that permit this specific brand of fight to stand all by itself.
In order to comprehend the differences between BoguKumite kickboxing and other types of kickboxing, it is essential to understand the singular components that this style delights in. It is also definitely worth valuing a few of the history behind BoguKumite, which is a reasonably brand-new variation of kickboxing and karate.
Taking On The World Of BoguKumite Kickboxing
In terms of popularity, BoguKumite is perhaps not as big in stature as other forms of kickboxing. It is definitely not as popular as knockdown kickboxing. Nevertheless, it has a rich tradition as a competitive entity. This custom stretches back a great number of years.
With BoguKumite karate, you're going to want to note that it has relatively close ties with a few of the more conventional types of Okinawan karate. These forms include Shorin-ryu, Isshin-ryu, and Chito-ryu. From this fact alone, we can understand that both the kickboxing and the karate have strong connections to the history of karate, particularly in the Okinawa area.
BoguKumite kickboxing is another type of continuous competition. It is categorized by being a kind of complete competition kickboxing, which also uses heavy cushioning to guarantee each competitor is totally secured. It is comprehended that this kind of padding has its origins in the armor and helmets that were used by the Japanese kendo.
The Bottom Line
BoguKumite kickboxing has the capability to offer a lot to those who want pursuing its particulars. It is extremely distinctly an extraordinary, long-lasting type of kickboxing.
JeetKune Do Benefits - Benefits of Learning This Martial Art
JeetKune Do is a martial art that was created by the famous Bruce Lee in the late 1960s. It means "Way of the Intercepting Fist" and is a modification of numerous conventional martial arts, primarily the Chinese system of combating called Wing Chun, in addition to Western style boxing and fencing. There are quite a few benefits to learning this specific martial art, and they flow from Bruce Lee's belief that a fighter must never ever be bound by standard guidelines and should rather be able to use any technique that fits the scenario.
JeetKune Do is significant in that it encourages adaptability to any situation. It is reasonably simple to protect oneself from assaulters when one is trained to use react to the circumstance at hand rather of counting on fixed strategies. In fact, this is the ideal martial art for street combating. Further, this combating design can be practiced by people of all ages and levels of physical fitness since the fighting style is extremely refined and requires the fighter to do feints that put the challenger off guard and to conserve energy whilst fighting. The primary advantage of this martial art is that it is perfect for regular people who want to feel safe as they set about their daily lives.
Another benefit of learning this style of combating is that it enhances balance and flexibility rather of simply focusing on power. As an outcome, the person who practices it benefits from improved co-ordination. A person who practices this martial art frequently will also acquire a fantastic deal of confidence that comes from the capability to look after oneself.
JeetKune Do lacks doubt an excellent martial art to learn however one has to commit time and energy to mastering it. It is necessary to obtain trained from a trusted and experienced instructor or else one might lose out on the subtleties of this fighting design. It is safe to state that an individual who has actually taken the problem to learn this martial art effectively and to practice it frequently will be relatively unequalled in a street battle.

Two thousand eleven is starting to look a lot like 2005 on the natural-disaster front. First the Japanese earthquake and tsunami; then tornadoes in the South that killed nearly 300; and last night, Missouri was rocked by a tornado that killed at least 90—and climbing.
Here is the story of that disaster from The New York Times:
"There was panic—firefighters were pulling themselves out of the debris and then helping others," said Mike Bettes, a meteorologist for the Weather Channel who arrived in Joplin 10 minutes after the tornado touched down, as part of the show "The Great Tornado Hunt."
Hours later, he said, the scene was "very serene—dark, relatively quiet." He and his Weather Channel crew had set up to report from the hospital grounds, he said in a telephone interview, and "we are on a hill and the only lights we see are on the fire trucks or ambulances."
Joplin's was by far the worst damage on a day of brutal storms in the Midwest, including a tornado in Minneapolis that city officials said left one person dead and dozens injured in an area that covered several blocks. By Sunday night, Missouri's governor, Jay Nixon, had already activated the National Guard and declared a state of emergency.

trapped somewhere across the room
across the room
watching me and
the things your eyes
do to me
make me wish
everyone would just
go home...
so i do
the only thing
i can think of,
throwing myself
on the floor
flopping like a fish
trying to get
to the water
while you escort
awe struck friends
to the door
making apologies...
entwined, we'll giggle
down a trail of
cast off clothes
and who knows-
letting your eyes
lead the way &
tomorrow, i'll
regale them with
stories of the miracle
that saved me...
if only we were
not stuck at
this party and me
in my fantasy
i watch you
across the room
watching me and
the things your eyes
do to me
make me wish
everyone would just
go home...
no, really, come back soon...
drive safe, and have a good night everyone.

Dang! I've never been at a party where this happened. Once, at a do celebrating the hosting couple's forthcoming divorce, we DID have to step over the hostess on our way out - She had found herself happily unable to stay vertical but wanted to be sure to thank everyone for coming so she lay across the door sill.

Child-like, playful thoughts to catch an attention but what made this really special is the romantic intention behind such foolish one-man-show on the floor.
This poem leaves a smile on the face and a long sigh for the romanticism implied.

By The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis, a former Ole Miss standout, has undergone surgery on his right knee to remove an inflamed fluid sac that kept him out of this year's Pro Bowl.
The 49ers said the surgery, considered minor and done about a week ago, was performed by Dr. Tim McAdams and Dr. Gary Fanton at Stanford Hospitals and Clinics in nearby Redwood City.
Spokesman Bob Lange said there is no infection and no structural damage. The team will not put a timetable on Willis' return, but he isn't expected to be sidelined for long. The team will adjust his offseason conditioning and regimen as he rehabilitates.

February is shaping up to be a banner month for the country's 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. Soon the nation will commemorate Presidents Day, followed by the Academy Awards where the movie bearing the former president's name is nominated for a whopping 12 Oscars. And today, we celebrate the man's 204th birthday.
Join in this year's celebration with a getaway to the Land of Lincoln -- Springfield, Ill. For $99, this exclusive Travelzoo deal includes two tickets to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum and an overnight stay in a suite steps from the Old State Capitol, where the president infamously announced, "a house divided against itself cannot stand." The Museum has garnered national attention for its extensive exhibits and displays of original artifacts -- including the original Gettysburg Address.
Springfield is a three-hour drive from Chicago and 1.5 hours from St. Louis. Or opt for a ride on Amtrak from both cities -- the hotel is three blocks from the station.

The death of the deejay, 36, brings to a close the life of a tremendously talented – but troubled – individual who, as it so happens, had cheated death on numerous occasions.
Born Adam Goldstein, the Pennsylvania native's struggles began at a young age in Philadelphia, where he was raised by his mother Andrea, and a father "who seemed to hate me," he told Glamour in January 2008. "The verbal abuse he subjected me to was unbelievably cruel. I would find out later that there was a good reason my father was so tortured – he was secretly gay and addicted to drugs."
The tumultuous upbringing took its toll: struggling with depression, Goldstein first turned to drugs at 12; his first visit to a rehabilitation center came when he was 17.
Two years after a visit an Orange County, Calif., rehab center, he discovered cocaine and Ecstasy. He told PEOPLE in 2005, "That brought me to my knees really fast. I would deejay until 2 a.m., go get drugs and stay up until 10 in the morning doing drugs alone in my apartment. When they were all gone, I would take a whole bottle of Tylenol PM to go to sleep."
Obese and SuicidalGoldstein also developed a habit of overeating, and, in his early 20s, was tipping the scales at nearly 300 lbs.
Despite his considerable success spinning on the party circuit in Los Angeles, the deejay hit a low point at 24 when, after a night of using cocaine, he loaded a .22 gun and tried to kill himself. "I sat back on my heels, cocked it and put it in my mouth," he told "Glamour". "Then I squinted my eyes and said, 'F--k this.' I pulled the trigger." The gun, he says, didn't go off.
Following his suicide attempt, Goldstein went sober with the help of friends in recovery meetings, and got sober – and after his 30th birthday lost 155 lbs. by undergoing gastric bypass surgery. At a Television Critics' Association panel in Pasadena July 29, while he was promoting his upcoming MTV series, Gone Too Far, Goldstein announced, "I've been a recovering addict for 11 years."
Haunted by the CrashStill, as might be imagined, the the horrific 2008 plane crash rattled the recovering addict. In December 2008, wen he filed a lawsuit against the aircraft manufacturer, he explained he was seeking damages for "pain, suffering, mental anguish, psychological and emotional distress, disfigurement and pre-impact fear of death and burning."
His recovery offered several revelations. Among them: while in the hospital being treated for burns, he learned of a potentially fatal blood clot that, he said, "could have traveled to my heart and I could have died."
Goldstein own struggles made him more sensitive to those of others. One of his friends told PEOPLE that she emailed him last week when she feared that someone she knew was becoming an addict. Goldstein replied, "I hope you all agree that what a real friend does is help someone to LIVE and not to die. It may sound dramatic but it's really just as simple as saying, I will do EVERYTHING to help you live, but nothing to help you die."
A month after the crash, Goldstein told PEOPLE he was experiencing a nightmare of a man chasing him with a blowtorch. Already seeing a behavioral modification specialist as part of his ongoing recovery from addiction, he had plans to meet with somebody for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
"There's no reason why I should have lived or I lived and they didn't," he said in July. "And it's something I struggle with every day."

Assessing Political Positions of Media
Daniel E. Ho
Stanford Law School
Kevin M. Quinn
UC Berkeley School of Law
June 21, 2007
Stanford Law and Economics Olin Working Paper No. 343
Although central to understanding the role of the media, few quantitative measures of the political positions of media exist. Collecting and classifying editorials adopted by 23 major U.S. newspapers on 495 Supreme Court cases from 1994-2004, we apply an item response theoretic approach to place newspapers on a substantively meaningful - and long validated - scale of political preferences. Our results provide significant insights into the study of the media. We show that 17 of the 23 papers are more likely to the left of the median Justice for this period, but also find considerable evidence that this may be an artifact of the liberalness of urban, elite, high circulation papers.
Number of Pages in PDF File: 36

Bruce Catton's writing on the Civil War is every bit as fascinating as its reputation. (I have read in several places that if he is not the best writer on the war, than certainly he is one of them.) Right now I am reading his second book in his trilogy about the Army of the Potomac, Glory Road.
It's really interesting getting into the lesser known details of this war, that we are still dealing with the political ramifications from. This war is a large part of our country's DNA, even if it is something not always dealt with. I often marvel at the lack of movies and TV shows that deal with this period in comparison to something like World War II, which is much more of an easy sell, as it is one of the few wars where people can be proud of.
Because the Civil War was a war of a people, there are many moments in the war when different sides strangely put down their arms, only to resume horrible bloodshed later. Different sides would often trade with each other. They also made deals where they would promise not to shoot each other at night so that they could get a comfortable nights sleep. In one instance in the book, an argument between a Confederate and a Union regiment gets so heated, that they all put down their weapons for a fist fight between two members, only to pick up their weapons and go their separate ways once the fight was settled.
But for every story like this, there are also stories of typical wartime behavior that often don't make it into the more popular accounts we see on TV documentaries and such. Here is a passage that deals with the looting of Fredericksburg:
"The city had been rudely sacked; household furniture lined the streets. Books and battered pictures, bureaus, lounges, feather beds, clocks, and every conceivable article of goods, chattels, and apparel had been savagely torn from the houses and lay about in wanton confusion in all directions. Fires were made, both for warmth and cooking, with fragments of broken furniture. Pianos, their harmonious strings displaced, were utilized as horse troughs, and amid all the dangers animals quietly ate from them." A solider in another Pennsylvania regiment noted "great scenes of vandalism and useless destruction of books, furniture, carpets, pianos, pictures, etc.," and reported a grotesque carnival aspect in the streets still swept by Confederate shell as Union soldiers cavorted about in women's dresses and underwear. "Some of these characters," he added, "might be seen with musical instruments, with big horns, violins, accordions, and banjos"; and he noted that his own regiment took several hundred bottles of wine out of someone's cellar, a part of this wine appearing later on the colonel's own mess table. One illiterate private rifled an express office and carried off a huge bundle of receipts and canceled checks under the impression that he was robbing a bank and getting money.
It should be noted that some of the soldiers looking upon this were horrified. It should also be noted that this kind of behavior was not by any means only on the Union side of things. There is a passage roughly around this one where the Confederates rob a large amount of dead Union soldiers, leaving them naked by the time they are picked up for burial. And that is only one story. Both sides acted in surprising ways, good and bad, at times. Catton does go into explanations for this behavior, but I will not get into that here.
The point, or question, that I wanted to make was that this is only 150 years ago, carried out by many of our ancestors against one another. What kind of strange blood is flowing through our National veins, inherited from this time period?
As a side note, again, I don't know why more films and shows aren't made of this time period. Only a small way through this book, though I have read others, and there are endless scenes that one could fashion interesting story lines around.
