The above figure is from “Special Topics,”
a post of August 17, 2006. That post
contains the phrase
a scholar at a Jesuit university.
James Joyce, the author discussed in
last night’s Green October post, might
be pleased to find there are still such
scholars.
From the Spokane Spokesman-Review today —
"Services are pending for St. Aloysius Church at Gonzaga University"
This suggests a review of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man ,
a novel by James Joyce in the Viking Critical Library containing
a brief discussion of St. Aloysius Gonzaga.
In keeping with the approach to epistemology in today's previous post…

at the end of "Scoop," a Log24 post from the date
of the above review — July 9, 2004.

Part I: Paranoia
" 'The Truman Show' did not single-handedly cause
Truman delusions, any more than 'The Manchurian
Candidate' caused Cold War paranoia. In the fifteen
years since 'The Truman Show' was released, its
premise has increasingly come to seem nonbizarre."

Part II: Amen
Part III: The Magic 8-Ball
Part IV: Sinking the Magic 8-Ball

“ ‘A babbled of green fields”
— Phrase attributed to Shakespeare
quoted here on September 15th
From a New York Times piece online today,
a quote promoting science and technology,
and a quote on aptitude :
… the STEM fields (“STEM” being the current shorthand
for “science, technology, engineering and mathematics”),
which offer so much in the way of job prospects, prestige,
intellectual stimulation and income….
… scientific and mathematical aptitude at
the very highest end of the spectrum ….

Peter J. Cameron attributes failure of his usual
link to the NASA "Astronomy Picture of the Day"

Related literary remarks by Nabokov —
Among the many exhilarating things Lake taught
was that the order of the solar spectrum is not
a closed circle but a spiral of tints from cadmium
red and oranges through a strontian yellow and a
pale paradisal green to cobalt blues and violets,
at which point the sequence does not grade into
red again but passes into another spiral, which
starts with a kind of lavender gray and goes on to
Cinderella shades transcending human perception.
