The Fifties by James R. Gaines7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() “An Underground History,” its subtitle, better describes its contents, as Gaines writes of countercultural heroes whose lives foreshadowed and effected changes that have brought us into the unsettling years of the new millennium. It is called The Fifties, but it’s more accurately about midcentury America, roughly from the 1930s into the 1960s. These are the main protagonists in an intriguing new book by author and former Time managing editor James R. Pitted against this reassuring narrative of “the silent generation” were the dissenters, the restless subversives whose stories were largely unknown and are only now being fully recognized. Also consider the forgotten 1950s, the postwar decade of (mostly) peace and prosperity, or so it seemed for many but not all Americans. ![]() Can a decade define an era? Think of the Roaring Twenties, the Me Decade of the 1970s, the 1960s as the age of protest. ![]()

Bits of Me by Meghan Scott7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Me Me Meghan wanted to play leading lady. She looked well, walked well, dressed well, plotted well - she just didn’t get to be the leading lady. ![]() Fame, money, TV, career, a temporary title, wife of Prince Empty, a baby. ![]() The only throne she can sit on is the one in her own loo. ![]() She came onto this royal set an egotistical ambitious amateur? She could’ve memorized the rules. When you get cast in an acting role, you study it, memorize, practice. She knew enough to get two side hairs to flop down her face, which she kept schlepping back so they didn’t impede the open mouth. She knew enough to get a hairdresser for this sit-down. How you carry your purse, how you handle Her Majesty, how you stand, sit, converse, what are your duties, the no-nos and yes-yeses. Where was Prince Empty? He was so busy? Certainly not sorting out his sock drawer. That’s before you decide you’ll change their rigid ways. You are responsible for its ways and means - hours, duties, wardrobe, attitude, culture. When you sign on to take a job, you are responsible for its ethics and ethos. Me Me Meghan did not need to hit Google - as she claimed - to learn discipline and manners and Palace 101. Even unemployed peasants know that’s a no-no. When he crossed his leg, the skin showed. Now that we’ve established that, and I’m probably next in line for impeachment, I therefore will talk about Oprah Winfrey’s Sunday show.įirst, His ex-Royal Highness Prince Empty wouldn’t know his crest from a hole on the ground. I’m no TV columnist, whose job is to rate any television show. ![]()

Harrow the ninth7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() We’ve got half an hour of air-con left … after that, you’ll be working in the oven. God’s voice came very calmly over the comm: Screaming was the least of what might happen. ![]() You understood your body’s reaction to the proximity. Sometimes you screamed a little, which no longer embarrassed you. In that smothering dark, your breath emerged as wisps of wet grey smoke. A fine shimmer of frost now coated your cheeks, your hair, your eyelashes. There was nothing to see-the shutters were down-but you could feel the terrible vibration, hear the groan of chitin on metal, the cataclysmic rending of steel by fungous claw. YOUR ROOM HAD LONG AGO plunged into near-complete darkness, leaving no distraction from the great rocking thump-thump-thump of body after body flinging itself onto the great mass already coating the hull. Nine for the Tomb, and for all that was lost. Two is for discipline, heedless of trial Three for the gleam of a jewel or a smile Four for fidelity, facing ahead įive for tradition and debts to the dead One for the Emperor, first of us all One for his Lyctors, who answered the call One for his Saints, who were chosen of old One for his Hands, and the swords that they hold. ![]()
