“It was not our intention to kill him,” said Vichitra Kumar Tomar, a leader of Save the Cow who was not among those charged. “Our intention was to punish him, to slap him or beat him. Just a few slaps. But not to leave him dead.”

Members of Save the Cow said they were motivated to raise the alarm on Sept. 28 because of their religious devotion. “We are more attached to the cow than our own children,” Inder Nagar said.

She believed in these "space people..." It was some kind of religion or something. She didn't feed us and so we left and hitchhiked back to San Francisco.

What about Kissinger’s views on human rights?

He didn’t have a policy on human rights. He didn’t like the notion of human rights. He left Europe in 1938 and came here—he is five years older than I am. I was in France during the occupation of France by Germany and some of my best friends were deported because they were Jews. I managed not to be deported because of, as the French would say, le hasard des circonstances. It could have happened. My best friend who was French but of Romanian origin was deported because he managed to get home from the high school where we both went just at the moment when a Gestapo truck was stopping in front of his house. And since he looked very Jewish, he was arrested and killed. I was lucky. One realizes that one really is not the master of one’s fate in those circumstances.

On the question of going into Libya [to support the 2011 uprising], I reacted as somebody who lived in occupied France, and it seemed to me that if one could save lives of people who were totally innocent and could be arrested at any minute, one has a moral duty to do so. I understand perfectly that if you are good realpolitiker, you do not care. And Henry is a good realpolitiker. Which means that the average guy will never find much sympathy with him because he doesn’t operate at that level. He operates at the level of Bismarck. I’ve never been at the level of Bismarck or even of Nixon, and I think that if one can do something to save lives one should. So [Henry and I] were never made for 100 percent agreement. Zbig’s position? I do not know.

It seems difficult to reconcile your concerns about human rights with the reality of politics.

This is one of the reasons why I never went into politics. I am not made for it. I would not be very good at it. It was fascinating working with people like Zbig. Although for me, my most impressive co-graduate student was not Zbig, was not Henry, was not [Samuel] Huntington. It was somebody who was not known at all because she was never in politics; she was a thinker. She was a woman from Riga called Judith Shklar and she was by far the biggest star of the department. She was unbelievably great.

Not much is known about Erta Ale, as the surrounding terrain is some of the most inhospitable on Earth and the native Afar people have a legendary reputation for viciousness towards outsiders; one travel guide recommends hiring "one or maybe two armed guards or police" to visit Erta Ale.[5]

It's good to see this album mentioned.

In 1994, Süleyman Aktaş killed four elderly neighbors by strangling three years after he came back to his hometown.[1][2][3][4][5] He nailed the couples Ayşe (65) and İsmail Güneş (66), and Rukiye (77) and Ramazan Kocatepe (78) in the eyes and heads.[1][2][3][5] In his testimony after his arrest, he told that "He can not stand nails. He wants to nail people in the head."[1][2][5]

The rise in popularity of extreme-left parties in France is far from being a mere epiphenomenon. Another significant fact is that word-formation is very rich too, with ‘McDonaldization’, ‘Disneyization’, ‘McWorldization’, ‘Burger Kingization’, .... All these neologisms evoke what can be called the ‘merchandization’ of the world under the American influence.

Debussy made the trip without Lilly, and his letters to her provide glimpses into their relationship. The courtship had been passionate. Marriage had become rou- tine. Much of his attraction seemed to have been based on what he saw as her child-like simplicity. That helps to explain the increasingly infantile manner he adopted in writing to her—a pose so unlike him, that whatever novelty it may have possessed could only have become tiresome. “I loved your lack of courage very much,” he wrote while in England.“You see, it is very nice to be the strong little wife, but there are times when the strong little wife must have her weaknesses.That adds an extra charm to her graciousness. . . . Would you believe that it is impossible to get a good cup of tea? That makes me think of my rue Cardinet and the dear little wife, who, among other gifts, possesses that of making tea. Ah! in England there are no such wives as that; here they are wives for horseguards with their com- plexions of raw ham and their movements like those of a young animal.”29

Harold Jones (1906 – 1971) was a child killer from Abertillery in Wales.

In 1921, when he was only 15, he was tried at Monmouth Assizes for the murder of an 8-year-old girl, Freda Burnell. However, he was acquitted, and he returned to Abertillery to a hero's welcome. A few weeks afterwards, he murdered 11-year-old Florence "Flossie" Little. T

To understand the rise of the piano among the middle class, it is helpful to remember that before mechanical and electronic reproduction, music was in fact performed on a daily basis by ordinary people.

No NFL game is complete without heavy military presence. (Incidentally, it recently emerged the NFL has billed the Defense Department $6m for military tributes over the past four seasons.) The league’s expanding London outpost continues to fly its flag – or rather have it carried by US service personnel during ostentatious military salutes. When the 49ers met the Jaguars at Wembley a couple of years ago, a serviceman was deployed to the end zone to be thanked for his service during a break in play. Last month’s Jaguars-Bills game at Wembley boasted a Chinook and Lynx flypast. The undercard for Sunday’s Wembley clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions featured the military wives’ choir and pitchside men in uniform performing ceremonial roles of one sort or another. The Chiefs beat the Lions 45-10, so with warfare that asymmetric, it’s just a shame the match reports didn’t get into the martial spirit and describe them as having played like US drones at an Afghan wedding party.

Correction of the day: on Saturday, The Times said Karol Wojtyla was the “first non-Catholic Pope in 450 years”. Today’s apology? It meant “first non-Italian Pope”.

Notable Quotes

“Orbán is a fuckhead [geci].” February 6, 2015

In 2008, the Duchess collaborated with Stanley G. Payne and Jesús Palacios Tapias to write Franco, My Father, a biography of her father from her point of view. She described her father as a warm person. With regards to the White Terror, she noted that "he didn't talk about it at home".[3]

The award-winning Götterdämmerung fire column design of granite or sandstone was selected as a standard model for all Bismarck towers. The massive and squat design could be built to different heights and widths depending on the amount of money donated for the particular monument.

In manifestation of the Bismarck cult, they were built in various styles in locations across the German Empire, including its colonies in New Guinea (Gazelle Peninsula), Cameroon (near Limbe) and Tanzania, as well as in areas of Europe that, at the time, were part of Germany, but now lie within the borders of Poland, France, Denmark or Russia.

a google search for penispillar yielded mostly results of pillars and columns that resemble penises, rather than penis-resembling caterpillars and worms.

that djmartian post is making me almost literally weep

These are the three great lyrical themes: sex, hate and a smarmy, hypocritical version of brotherly love. Such polluted sources issue in a muddy stream where only monsters can swim. A glance at the videos that project images on the wall of Plato's cave since MTV took it over suffices to prove this. Hitler's image recurs frequently enough in exciting contexts to give one pause. Nothing noble, sublime, profound, delicate, tasteful or even decent can find a place in such tableaux. There is room only for the intense, changing, crude and immediate, which Tocqueville warned us would be the character of democratic art, combined with a pervasiveness, importance and content beyond Tocqueville's wildest imagination.

Everyone else was so boring and unable to charm youthful passions. Jagger caught on. In the last couple of years, Jagger has begun to fade. Whether Michael Jackson, Prince or Boy George can take his place is uncertain. They are even weirder than he is, and one wonders what new strata of taste they have discovered. Although each differs from the others, the essential character of musical entertainment is not changing. There is only a constant search for variations on the theme. And this gutter phenome­non is apparently the fulfillment of the promise made by so much psychol­ogy and literature that our weak and exhausted Western civilization would find refreshment in the true source, the unconscious, which appeared to the late romantic imagination to be identical to Africa, the dark and unexplored continent.

Next we go canvassing in Lindfield, a gorgeous village next to Haywards Heath. The wealthy commuters who tend to be swinging to Labour are out, and most of the people we meet are elderly, loyal Conservatives who are delighted to meet their man. Soames is a majestic figure, a tremendous testimony to the virtues of British food and French wine. He is wearing a panama with a Royal Hussars hatband. This is purely for doffing purposes. When a man of such bulk and wearing such headgear doffs it to you, you stay doffed.

Many of the people we meet probably voted Tory when Soames's grandfather, Winston Churchill, led the party. He gave me the true version of what I had always suspected was an apocryphal story. In or around 1953, when Soames was five, he didn't know how important his grandfather was until someone told him. So he walked up to the old man's bedroom, managed to get past the valets and the secretaries, and found him sitting up in bed.

"Is it true, grandpapa, that you are the greatest man in the world?" he asked.

"Yes I am," said Churchill. "Now bugger off."
