The Wilder Aisles
Janice Wilder has been a legend of Sydney bookselling for over 40 years.
November 2016
Gleebooks Bookshop - Wednesday, November 09, 2016
Some time ago I became interested in the Manhattan Project and the making of the atomic bomb. I think it started with reading Los Alamos by Joseph Kanon, a crime novel, based on the secret happenings in the desert of New Mexico. I then went on to read some non-fiction, including Richard Rhodes' The Making of the Atomic Bomb and Brighter Than a Thousand Suns by Robert Jungk. I don't remember why I found all this so fascinating, but I think it was partly the men involved—Fermi, Feynman and Robert Oppenheimer, among others—all great men of science. This introduction leads me to a new book by Elizabeth J. Church, The Atomic Weight of Love. Beginning in Philadelphia, where Meridian Wallace is living with her mother and father—a father she idolises, who has instilled in her a love of science. After Meridian, known as Meri, wins a scholarship,in 1941, the action moves to the University of Chicago. One of the youngest students and lacking confidence and social skills, Meri spends most of her time peering down a microscope. Her mother says she scares boys off with her brains, so she is surprised & pleased when she is asked to a dance by her lab partner Jerry. She enjoys herself despite the fact that her mind is never far from what is happening under the microscope. Then she meets professor Alden Whetstone—long tousled hair, large bushy moustache, wearing baggy corduroy trousers, a shirt with frayed cuff beneath his suit coat, a man of great scientific intellect and over 20 years older. Meri thinks that in him she has finally met her expectations of what a scientific education should be. As their relationship develops, Meri decides to work with birds in her post-graduate work, concentrating e on crows. She has known for sometime that Alden is involved in some kind of secret work, but doesn't know the details. This work takes him away from Chicago periodically—Alden tells her that he is working in New Mexico, but not exactly where. They exchange letters that are heavily censored, and eventually Alden invites her to visit him down south, so she postpones graduate school to visit him. Eventually Meri gives up on her education and moves to live with Alden in New Mexico. Her life is dramatically changed—from scientific study she now finds herself a housewife in a small house in the middle of the desert. How Meri copes with the change and what happens in the future is somewhat surprising. She carries out her study on crows and this leads to an unexpected meeting with unexpected consequences. A lovely touch is that each chapter heading is a collective name for groups of birds and the cover has lovely pictures of birds.
And now another book about Berlin (and London as well). Set in WW2, The New Mrs Clifton by Elizabeth Buchan follows the relationships between five people—Intelligence Officer Gus Clifton, his sisters Tilly and Julia, his best friend Teddy, and Nella, Teddy's sister. Into this close group comes Krista—a German rescued by Gus from the horrors of worn-torn Berlin. She is sick, starving, her hair falling out, and terrified of everyone and everything. Gus marries her and takes her back to the family home in Clapham Common. To say that she is not made welcome is a bit of an understatement. For a start, Gus had been engaged to Nella, Julia's husband Martin was shot down by the Luftwaffe, and Tilly has her own reasons for not wanting Krista there, although she does, at least, try to understand what Krista is going through. And then there is Teddy, furious with Gus for jilting his sister, but with secrets of his own. The locals are at first hostile to Krista, but gradually most of them come round. She likes to visit Herr Laube, the owner of the nearby second-hand bookshop—happy to speak her own language, while he gives her English books to help her understand the people around her. Gus's work involves visits to Berlin, and he is forced to take Krista with him to act as an interpreter. She goes, reluctantly, and is devastated by the destruction of her city. Their work with war criminals is particularly awful for her—she is accused of being a traitor to her people, but she has no time for the perpetrators of such terrible violent acts. Why Gus married Krista, what happens to Julia, Tilly, Teddy and Tilly makes for a very entertaining read. I thought it a very good depiction of how war affects people lives, making them behave in ways they never would in peacetime. It seems that all walls are down and when rules that people live by are broken a new way of living needs to be found.
Just quickly, a couple of recommendations for some summer reading, First Ann Patchett's Commonwealth, which I reviewed a month or so ago—a story of love, marriage and children. Also, An Isolated Incident by Emily Maguire, crime in country Australia. Music and Freedom by Zoe Morrison, music and love in London. And I have a confession to make—I have set aside for future reading Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz, the writer behind the TV series Midsomer Murders. I must say it looks like fun. I love the fact that so many people are killed, not just a namby-pamby one or two. I will let you know what it is like in the new year, but perhaps you could find out for yourselves. Janice

I haven't read much fiction set during World War II, and far from enough nonfiction about it, so I can't really compare Gone to Soldiers to anything except Sherri L. Smith's Flygirl (Putnam, 2009), about a young African American woman who passed as white to become a WASP. I started to read Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead a couple of years ago but only did a couple of chapters; maybe it's time to go back to it. And I really should read From Here to Eternity and other of James Jones's works. Piercy's characters are mostly Jewish, both in the Europe and in the US, and often lower-middle class, and as always her perspective is feminist, anti-racist, and pro-labor, so she covers the anti-Semitism that American Jews faced at home as well as what European Jews faced at the hands of the Third Reich and its collaborators. She describes the harassment that women faced in the factories, and that the women fliers of the WASPS had to deal with. Her account of the Detroit race riots of 1943 is chilling. White racists were using the same folklore they use today:
The buses and trolleys were overloaded with people jammed into each other, after waiting half an hour or longer. The whites said the colored belonged to bump clubs and sought opportunities to jostle whites [275].Today it's called the "knockout game," and though according to this article the Justice Department says "there have been similar incidents dating as far back as 1992", Piercy's research turned up the same basic idea from fifty years earlier. (She declares in the afterword that although the novel is fiction, she wanted everything in it to have really happened to someone.)
Another striking bit: the Nazis "opened the sea war by sinking an unarmed passenger liner, the Athenia, and then claimed the British had blown it up themselves for propaganda" (109). That's familiar too. Very familiar. (Ironically, the best-documented case I know of where something like this actually happened was when US Special Forces soldiers killed three Afghan women -- two of them pregnant -- and dug the bullets out of their bodies, trying to make it look like an honor killing by the Bad Guys.)
Gone to Soldiers isn't a novel I'll reread often, because of its length and because much of it is so emotionally painful, but I'm glad I reread it this time.
I can't say the same for Veronica Roth's Divergent (Katherine Tegen, 2011), now a major motion picture but even more of a drag, as far as I'm concerned, than Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. Partly because it's longer: the first volume is 500 pages long. I picked up Divergent at the library a couple of days ago and am now about halfway through it. For awhile I wasn't sure I'd read it all, but I think I can finish it in two days so I might as well. The writing is adequate (she at least uses the verb "diffuse" correctly, which is more than I can say about many pop writers these days) but thin. I don't think she's built her world very well, and her characters are cardboard. Roth's imagined dystopian future just doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe I'm just too old for it.

Join The Conversation With Mishpacha's Weekly Newsletter
In the closing days of the campaign, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump trailblazed across the country. Along for the ride was Mishpacha's special correspondent
Wednesday, November 02, 2016
t's true that hindsight is always 20/20. But the first signs that the presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was tightening were already apparent before FBI Director James Comey authorized additional investigative steps into Hillary's email indiscretions.
Anyone who arrived for opening day at early-voting polling stations inNorth Carolinacould discern the phenomenon that many pollsters have dubbed the "shy Trump voter."
Long lines with dozens of people twisted their way into a polling station inWinston-Salem, a city of 240,000 people (including about 500 Jews) in the foothills of theSauratownMountains. Some voters stood in line between one and a half and two hours to vote.
Most of the 15 voters I surveyed said they would cast their ballots forClintonand were happy to speak on record and be photographed. The others refused to tell me directly whom they voted for the second they saw my recording device. They sufficed with answers like "we voted for the man," or "for the party that is against abortion."
Is there a Brexit-like, anti-establishment atmosphere in the air? Or was ours a random sample and not representative of the true picture? We'll only know next Tuesday.
But at press time, it was clear the lead that Hillary Clinton has clung to most of the election cycle is in clear and present danger. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll — which showed Clinton holding a double-digit lead for most of the October stretch run — had her lead down to one point (46%–45%). The poll attributed the change to rising interest among Republican voters in Trump, who likewise turned a six-point deficit among independent voters into a 16-point advantage. The same survey showed that loosely affiliated or reluctantClintonsupporters are less likely to vote — perhaps because they believe she can win without them — a supposition that looks less reliable every passing day.
The poll also showed that a small number ofClinton's supporters (7 %) say the newest email revelations make them less likely to support her. About one in seven in some of her key support groups, such as Democrats (13 %) and liberals (15 %), say the same, rising much higher among groups already predisposed not to vote for her, including 47 % among conservatives and 52 % among Republicans and evangelical white Protestants alike.
North Carolina, where both candidates spent their days last Wednesday and Thursday, has received a lot of attention during the home stretch of the race. The Real Clear Politics average poll showedClintonwith a 2.5% lead in this large Southern state, which holds 15 Electoral College votes.
Last Wednesday inKinston, a city of just over 21,000, thousands of people stood in line for hours to get into a Trump rally, held on a runway of the local airport.
Kinstonlooks like a rather placid town; it's located in the southeastern part of the state, off I-95. Outside town, there are abundant pick-your-own farms and orchards, several vineyards, and tree trunks lying on the side of the road — a reminder that Hurricane Matthew struck just weeks ago.
The Trump rally was called for 7 p.m. But by 4:30 p.m., traffic was at a standstill half a mile away. Parking was at a premium and when legal spaces ran out, people left their cars on the shoulder of the road and walked. Because of the security checks outside the gates, many people were unable to get inside before the event began.

< Who Is Your Teacher My New Health Regimen - Week 2 >
April 6, 2010
One of the places I really clear my head and become very creative is when I am driving. I can go for hours on the highway with no music playing and just come up with new ideas for content and for how to be more effective at something. So I am recording this as I am on my way from New Jersey to Pennsylvania this afternoon to pick up my mother and bring her back to New Jersey.
Today I have been thinking about starting a new health regimen. It is actually one that a dear friend of mine recently completed with some amazing results. By following this specific program, in 4 1/2 months he lost 75 pounds and has maintained that weight loss for another 4 months. His energy level has dramatically increased as well as his self-confidence. Achieving these kinds of results with his health has also allowed him to transform his life in other areas. He now has new references for his ability to discipline himself and stay committed to a specific outcome based on his results with his new health program.
The reason that I have decided to commit to this process is not so much about a desire to lose weight. The main intention of my committing to this program is to improve my health by eating a more healthy and nutritious diet. My primary outcome is to increase my energy level and to improve my overall health.
Even though I know all the benefits of healthy eating, I will admit that I have terrible eating habits. I don't eat a lot of junk food. My problem is that I do not eat regularly, and when I do eat there is little to no nutritional value in the food I choose to eat. As an example, my food for the day usually consists of an egg salad sandwich around 12:30 in the afternoon or a Caesar Salad. Even though I have been up since 8 or 8:30AM, this is usually the first time that I eat. Then around 5PM I will have a Monti Cristo Panini which if you are not familiar with it, that is simply a sandwich with ham, turkey, cheese and peppers in a pressed bread Panini style bread. Then 3 or 4 nights of the week, later on in the evening I will have a TV dinner, a pizza or some chili. The other nights, I eat some small snacks or nothing at all.
Sadly that is basically a day of eating for me. One of the reasons for this kind of "diet" is that the majority of my days, I spend DJ'ing in NYC. In the environment that I work in, you do not get a break to eat, so I have learned to eat based on the "cleanliness" of the food because I do not want to eat something "messy" being around musical equipment and the microphone. So over the years I have "conditioned" myself to eat things that are not messy and also things that I can eat relatively quickly. As I am also aware, eating quickly is another bad eating habit. But I have rationalized that because the type of club that I DJ in, I have to make announcements every 90 seconds to two minutes for an eight hour period. I don't get a lunch break, I don't get a 15 minute break; It is eight hours of being on the microphone and playing music.
So what has happened is that I have conditioned myself over 17 years of DJ'ing to eat this way. I know it is not healthy. I know my body is not getting the nutrients that it needs to function at a basic level, let alone the level that I push myself. And as I approach my 45th birthday I am noticing that my energy level is not anywhere close to what it used to be. I am also noticing that it is taking longer for my body to heal. Even simple things like a cut I had on my knuckle which would normally heal within a week, has still not fully healed after close to a month and a half. I know that as we grow older our ability to heal changes, but I also have to take responsibility for the fact that I am also not giving my body what it needs to do the job.
So I have made the decision, committed to the process and have resolved myself to conditioning new habits that will allow me to create this new way of living. I am getting ready to embark on a journey of health consciousness, and I am going to be documenting it as I progress. I will talk about the energy level, the weight loss benefits, and how this new discipline transforms other areas of my life. I have signed up with a coach, ordered the food and will be starting tomorrow.
I had originally intended this next section as a follow-up article, but since I am starting the program earlier than I expected, I will include it here. Below I am going to talk about the fears that I needed to overcome as I was preparing to start this journey.
I have been looking at doing this for quite a long time. I have known that I am not taking care of my health in a way that supports my lifestyle. And even with that knowledge, it has taken me until this moment to make the commitment to change. I wonder how many of you know that there is something that you need to incorporate into your life, something that you need to change and you still haven't. You even know that your life would improve dramatically if you did, but you've been putting it off. Any of you ever had that problem in the past? And what was preventing you?
So as I prepared to embark on this new path, I had to look at what has been preventing me from doing this for myself. I have multiple motivations to do this because not only am I teaching people how to overcome fear, how to break through procrastination and how to live better lives, it is also a part of the journey that I am on. So if I were to coach myself on this, I would need to look at what's been preventing me from taking actions that I know I need to take.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to come up with excuses? And have you also noticed that the excuses usually have absolutely nothing to do with what you are trying to avoid? Two excuses that seem to be common for everyone are "time" and "money". I was actually taught that in a sales course in regard to overcoming objections. They taught me that the main reason that people do not take action is because of two excuses; they don't have the money and they don't have the time. As I looked at my "reasons" for not doing this earlier, those were mainly the same excuses I had been using. I could of course give those "reasons" validation. But really they are simply excuses.
Yes, there is an investment in the food needed for the program. Just under $300 actually. And then there is the discipline in respect to time, where I need to make sure that I eat every two and a half to three and a half hours. I could use that as a "reason" not to do this. My schedule is all over the place.
But the reality is that money and time are simply excuses. What has really been stopping me from getting started in the past has been fear. Just like with most "changes" that we make in our lives I had to look at the fear of failure, as well as the fear of success. There are fears of the unknown, fears of how I would be perceived if I fail… the list can go on and on.
What I'm getting to is that even though I am teaching these kinds of things, I have to deal with them in my own life on a daily basis. I am not saying that to sound egotistical. I'm saying it because many times we hear people speaking about personal development and self awareness and they're coming from the place of the guru, the teacher, the coach, and many of them don't share their own struggles. The person being taught is not aware that the teacher has to struggle with these obstacles themselves.
I will be the first to admit that I am not perfect. I'm no better than anybody else. I am using the same skills that I'm sharing with you. That is what I believe in, sharing the skills that I have used to overcome obstacles in my past and continuing to share what I'm working on now as I move into my future. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

Weekend Kneeler Jeopardy
Sorry, it's a busy time of year. I've been cooking all day and now my MIL is here, so here's all I can muster.
Category: Card sharks
This popular 19th century game, also known as the "Curse of Scotland," bears the name of a much disputed figure in Church history.
St. Alex says, please place your answer in the form of a question in the combox, and say a few Hail Marys while you wait for the answer to be revealed.
Demerits for using Google and other sneaky searches. Educated guesses are welcome and encouraged. Good luck!!

Who is Mary Stuart?
Not really sure if she's disputed in Church history though, or if there's a 19th century game named after her...
- December 5, 2009 at 3:53 PM
- swissmiss said...
Ohhh, good guess...not correct though! This card game is actually older than the 19th century, having it's origins in the 16th century, it became popular in the 19th.

- swissmiss said...
Sorry AA, not Whist. Not many guesses, so here's a clue: according to legend, the person this game is named after, was in the Church hierarchy (hope that doesn't give it away).
An online source I just checked says this game is an 18th century English game, derived from the French games of Matrimony and Comete.
- December 6, 2009 at 8:36 AM

Hmmmm, not many guesses. Seems we need another clue: the card game is named after a woman.

Sorry Laura. Creative answer!
BEDE!!!! You got it!! How many of these things have you won? You have now earned the WKJ tiara...sorry don't have a digital version of one yet :) I was just about to give away the answer since I had so few guesses, then out of no where comes Bede to save the day!! Woo hoo!!! Glad you got it!!!!!!!!

Oh, V, you are always craving food :) My next question will have to be about food.

- Chris said...
Wow... a tiara! May I share it with Cathy?
- December 8, 2009 at 9:43 PM
- swissmiss said...
Cathy has one once, I believe. The tiara, although yours to do as you please, is a prestigious honor reserved for numerous WKJ wins. I don't want the WKJ awards to become as common place as the Nobel or Oscar, so please use some discretion!
Did you learn about this game at the Renaissance Fest or did you just guess about the name? I ask because the RF is where I saw this game and almost bought it for friends...although I didn't know if they would appreciate my sense of humor.
- December 8, 2009 at 9:51 PM
- Chris said...
I'm sure I read about it in a book somewhere; I didn't learn about it at the RF.
I believe I'll wear my tiara snowshoeing this week. Looks like there ought to be enough snow!

Partiu (verb:partir): To leave
I started this blog about 4 years ago when I first got it in my head to drop everything and move to Rio.
I was a brown belt in kickboxing at MiKiDo and I didn't train any jiu-jitsu at the time (nor did I speak any Portuguese). Most people thought I was crazy at the time, but I think people that spend $100s of dollars at happy hour and spend any amount of money on meaningless shit like books to adorn coffee tables are crazier.
I thought I would be there for 6 months. I spent 3 years. 2 1/2 of which I was an illegal immigrant.
I came back for two reasons, in fact, for two Nicoles. Ironically enough, one Nicole is from Mikido in VA and the other from Connection Rio where I first lived in Brazil, and I credit those to places as being the baseline for who I am today.
I've been back for a year and it most definitely was a difficult transition after living in the Favela for 3 years. Now I work at a night school as an ESL teacher and at Beta Academy in D.C. during the day in exchange for training.
I've been broke for most of the year but I've still managed to get to South Carolina, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Montana, California, and Portugal this year. I got to compete in Worlds in Cali and Europeans in Portugal. I lost both fights and then spent the rest of the tournament working for Flograppling. It was beyond dope being mat side at some of the biggest tournaments of the year. Erbeth Santos is a beast on paper, but in person, he's breathtaking... and of course, I always seem to be in Leandro Lo's way right around the finals or some other important fight.
Other then traveling and losing at all the major tournaments of the year I've been kicking ass at local tournaments and formalizing the Project as an official 501(c). That means we're a nonprofit. it's supposed to mean that we can get more donations or sponsors, but up until now, it's just a lot of extra work for me.
Leaving D.C.
On Monday I'll be back with my people in Rio.
Right now, I'm on my way to Texas to meet up with Pretty Boy.
It just occurred to me that I don't know Pretty Boy's real name and I don't remember what he looks like. I met him once, in Rio, we were at the corner of General Osorio and he walked up with a flask in his hand on his way to get a massage. Lack of Portuguese did not keep Pretty Boy from enjoying Rio.

Greek Crisis in Numbers [HT: BBC]
Would you please take a few minutes right now and pray for Greece? As I'm sure you've seen in the news recently, Greece is in turmoil. There is a sense that Greece is on the precipice of disaster. Everyone here, it seems, is at an emotional extreme: fear, anger, and despair being the most common sentiments. Please pray for this nation, its leaders, the church, and the people who call Greece home – Greeks and foreigners.
Of course, as Greeks become more desperate, this makes the situation for refugees and immigrants more difficult. The video below (most of it filmed in the neighborhood of our refugee center) gives an accurate account of the situation here for refugees and immigrants stuck in Greece – unable to return home or continue further into Europe. Please pray!

It may not seems like much, but sometimes it's the little things that make me happy!
It's the little things
Everything in this rental house is tan and the full bath is no exception. Everything is painted the same color tan... the walls, the ceiling, and even the trim... all the TAN. It drives me crazy! It is so DRAB. So I figured I would just use some leftover paint to brighten things up a bit.

Rampur, Feb 17: BJP today claimed that the CBI's modus operandi in investigating the National Rural Health Mission scam in Uttar Pradesh was a farce and a mere attempt to keep the real culprits far from the clutches of law.
Referring to the latest death of NRHM official Mahendra Sharma in UP, BJP national Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi in a press statement released today said that so far six persons have gone in to the "well of death".
The BJP leader opined that not only the officials but all the relevant evidences related to the UP scams are being dumped in dark graves.
The union government lead by Congress and supported by Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party have been playing the role of spectators and that he said, "was a part of hidden political deal".

Starting at the parking lot in Kalteneck take the hiking trails Ilztalwanderweg and Goldsteig through the town. Pass the train station, get on a path alongside river Ilz and walk upstream. After a little while the river gets wilder and the path lenses, but it leads continuously alongside the romantic river Ilz. Shortly before the opening of Wolfensteiner Ohe and Ilz take the canal Mühlenkanal to get to a tarred road.
Hike passed the mill Aumühle and across a rack to Wolfensteiner Ohe (river), which you follow downstream till you reach its opening into river Ilz. Now continue on "Ilztalwanderweg" towards river Ilz. Further down the trail you will leave the forest behind and cross a street to get to Schrottenbaumühle where you can have some food and rest. If you want to continue immediately the path leads right through the "beergarden".
Continue following river Ilz. The turning point is located at Schneidermühle. Cross river Ilz on a bridge. After following the street about half a kilometre upwards you will reach guesthouse Hammerschmiede. At the end of the bridge turn left and continue walking alongside river Ilz. The path leads steeply upwards.
The path ends at Schrottbaumühle, where you cross river Ilz, do not follow the known path but turn right to get to the other side of the river. The path will guide you along river Ilz to Kalteneck. Across a wooden bridge you get back to Kalteneck and across river Ilz back to the starting point of this tour.

A federal bank regulator Aug. 18 asked a judge to dismiss a fintech challenge by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), saying New York hasn't shown it's been harmed.
NYDFS Superintendent Maria T. Vullo sued the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in May, saying an OCC regulatory initiative that could lead to special charters for fintech firms is unlawful and exceeds the agency's powers ( Vullo v. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency , S.D.N.Y., 17-cv-03574, motion to dismiss 8/18/17 ).
The suit said the OCC's efforts so far amount to final action that's subject to challenge in court, but the agency disagreed in a brief that accompanied its motion to dismiss, saying the NYDFS lacks standing to bring its suit because it hasn't shown injury. "Put simply, DFS cannot establish standing because OCC has yet to take any relevant action that could have a concrete effect of any kind," the agency said.
The OCC also said it hasn't made a final decision on the charter question at issue in the suit – whether it will offer a special charter for fintech firms - and said the New York lawsuit is barred by a statute of limitations. Even if the court decides to reach the merits of the challenge, the OCC added, its interpretation of its rules deserves deference from the court.
At issue in the case are OCC regulations found under 12 C.F.R. Part 5 that allow the OCC to charter special purpose national banks. In general, the chartering authority, set out in 2003 amendments to the rules, says a special purpose bank must engage in at least one of three "core banking functions" – accepting deposits, paying checks, or lending money.
According to the OCC's Aug. 18 filing, the New York suit claims that the 2003 amendments, a speech by former Comptroller Thomas J. Curry, and two March 2017 regulatory issuances by the OCC — a statement on a fintech-related white paper and a draft addition to the OCC's licensing manual on evaluating fintech charter applications — amount to final agency action on fintech that can be challenged under the Administrative Procedure Act.
The OCC disagreed, saying the case isn't ready for review by a court. Even if New York could point to some injury it might suffer, the agency said, any such injuries "are contingent on future actions that OCC might or might not take."
Earlier in August, the OCC asked a federal judge in Washington to dismiss a similar but separate challenge brought by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, the trade association for state bank regulators. The case in New York and the CSBS case in Washington both say the OCC lacks authority to approve charters for special purpose national banks that don't accept deposits.
The case brought by the NYDFS is in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The OCC is represented by acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District Joon H. Kim.
