Next comes 60-odd pages of an unfinished memoir by Andrew Bevel, the magnate upon whom Bonds is based. Their biographical tale unfolds in engaging period prose that’s reminiscent of Henry James and Edith Wharton. Bonds tells the story of financial tycoon Benjamin Rask, a poor little rich boy who grows up to make a killing in the stock market in the 1920s, and his gifted but unstable wife, Helen.

Nevertheless, the show got cancelled after its third season, in 1969. When NBC threatened to cancel the show after its second season, the fans organized a letter-writing campaign that got the show a one-year reprieve. "We were very low in the ratings, but we were breaking every fan mail record in the history of NBC," Star Trek star DeForest Kelley, who played Leonard McCoy, said in a 1976 interview. Aired by NBC from 1966 to 1969, it suffered from chronically low ratings, yet it attracted some of the most devoted fans in show business. Star Trek, the show that made Nimoy famous, was unusual. Spock have become virtually synonymous in the public imagination. But almost a half century after he first donned pointy Vulcan ears in 1966, Leonard Nimoy and Mr. Spock would so thoroughly define his image.

A lasting impact of long-term, self-imposed starvation is the desire for its recognition. I’m aware that this feeling is not unique to me. My true, authentic body looks really ill. I would like people to know, perhaps by means of a badge, a certificate, a flashing neon sign, that the body they see before them isn’t my true, authentic one. There’s a part of myself I’ve never been able to banish, ever since I acquired a body that passes for “normal” (a term which Freeman herself associates with the onset of her disorder - who’d want to be “normal”?). I know how insane this sounds, how petty, how mean. How serious, though? More or less serious than mine? If equal or less, why should hers be memorialised in this way? I knew Freeman’s anorexia had been serious. To be specific, I feared it would make me unhealthily jealous. Yet I worried this book in particular would throw me.

This article examines the lawfulness of the data subject’s consent to the processing of their data under the new EU General Data Protection Regulation. As algorithms sort people into groups for various causes, both legitimate and illegitimate, fundamental rights are endangered. The users’ control over the processing of their data appears today mostly lost. Users consent to this processing by ticking boxes when using movable or immovable devices and things.

The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish. ‘Was it not a comedy, a strange and stupid thing, this repetition, this course of events in a fateful circle?’ Siddhartha had one single goal – to become empty, to become empty of thirst, desire, dreams, pleasure and sorrow – to let the Self die. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the illusory joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the painful struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation. Set in India, Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin’s search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922. Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. First Sentence: In the shade of the house, in the sunshine on the river bank by the boats, in the shade of the sallow wood and fig tree, Siddhartha, the handsome Brahmin’s son, grew up with his friend Govinda. |
