Commentary
The Secret to Superhuman Strength Who cares if life has an ultimate meaning or is extruded from a divinity or (equally nonsensical) is an outgrowth of a sentient energy permeating the universe? Michael Bettencourt Spinning WheelNo one likes to be called 'dumb'... uneducated, okay, because it's a fact. 'Ignorant', maybe, because it has the feel of being temporary. But 'dumb' is like truth serum. Arthur Danin Adler The Waste Land It's been a brutal summer here in central Texas. Heat, drought, tempers flaring, prices rising, water restrictions, wildfires, and rolling blackouts have made daily existence miserable. Les Marcott Woman Holding a Balance: Forces by Lisa Stice The words forces (in the title) and balance imaged by the Vermeer painting on the cover exemplify the fine poems to be found in this book.

Man With A Shoe In His Hand Altenir Silva You're a radical man. You don't realize that you can't bring art to life without transforming it. That's the reason you're here.
The Runaway Wife Harriet Halliday Renaud She was walking home, carrying her books, and he said he was on his way there—to her house. Then she disappeared, and after a long time they arrested that boy, a really clean-cut looking boy.
