- ... final decipherment is the message that points to Bacon as author of the works. It reads: O O NYPIR CYPPHRS BEKAAN BACON The misspellings are typical of ciphered messages. "NYPIR" is actually "Napier", as in John Napier(Leary, Chpt 11). He was a friend of Bacon who wrote "Disme", a book on decimals and logarithms.

- 1975: Higher Learning

- 1976: Halloween: A Groundbreaking Film
- ... the boyfriend has departed, Michael takes a knife out of the kitchen drawer, ascends the staircase, and stabs Judith to death.

Only after the deed is done, do we learn that Michael is only a child. The bulk of the movie takes place fifteen years later. Michael confined to ... impeccably constructed motion picture burrows deep into our psyche and connects with the dark, hidden terrors that lurk within. Halloween is not a perfect movie, but no recent horror film has attained this magnitude. Likewise, John Carpenter has never come close to recapturing Halloween's artistic or commercial success, though he has tried many times. Halloween remains untouched-a modern classic of the most horrific kind.

He also holds Christ’s arm like he wants to help in some way ... rather thick. Moretto did care more about to detail than Cigoli though. His love of detail is evident in the lavish garments that Joseph and Nicodemus wear.
