- ... said, had just called to report that the sales of the new album, Houses of the Holy, were spectacular. Page had been officially told that Led Zeppelin were the biggest-selling group in the whole world. A silent moment of triumph passed between Plant and Page.

The whole thing was a complete bowl-over. It was Christmas and Christmas away from home for the English is the end of the world. I went wandering down the Sunset Strip with no shirt on. There were a lot of fun-loving people to crash into...and we started out on a path of positive enjoyment. Frank Zappa's ... down and I haven't much time to do it in. I've got a real wanderlust right now. I want to move." By July 1975, Zeppelin had accomplished all they'd dreamed of. The world tour had been a smash.

- 5782: Frank Sinatra
- ... who has the phrasing, who has the control, who understands the composers, who knows what losing means as so many have, who made the great comeback, who stands still, enduringly, on top of the entertainment world. Ladies and gentlemen, from here on in it's Frank Sinatra!" Frank Sinatra, the only singer in history to have hit records in five consecutive decades, led a lot more distinctive life than people were led to believe. It all began December 12, 1915, when a boy named Francis Albert Sinatra was brought into the world. He was the son of Dolly and Anthony Sinatra, a pair of Italian immigrants. He was born and raised in Hoboken, New Jersey where he spent his teenage years unloading trucks for the Jersey Observer ... teen idol that the country had ever seen was dead.

- 5783: The Cybernetic Plot of Ulysses
- ... letter to Bloom -- destroys intended meanings, but it also, as Joyce loves to point out, creates new ones. "I called you naughty boy," Martha wrote to Henry Flower, "because I do not like that other world." Signals can be abused and discarded, like the fate of "Matcham's Masterstroke" in Bloom's outhouse. Signals can be censored, pirated, misprinted, and malpracticed upon by editors, as happened the text of this novel ... two men, communication is poor. The signals don't get through. Also in the first episode, the old milkwoman prompts a Homeric thought attributed to Stephen: "Old and secret she had entered from a morning world, maybe a messenger." "Maybe a messenger!" Cyberneticists love ambiguity, particularly about subjects like messages and messengers in disguise. The Homeric scheme for the novel tells us that the elderly milkwoman as messenger stands for or ... heart. But the (quote) "letter for me from Milly" does Bloom's heart good. Signals full of meaning, ones like Milly's that land where they're sent, and are properly understood, can do a world of good. "Metempsychosis" is the word in this episode that prevents Molly from understanding a sentence in the trashy novel she's reading. The transmission of spirit across time and space is itself an ...
- 5784: Liberalism: Hervert Spencer
- ... The state has no business to promote religion, regulate trade and commerce, encourage colonization, aid the poor, or enforce sanitary laws. Spencer went even so far as to deny the state the right to wage war; but as he says in his Autobiography, his youthful enthusiasm of two-and twenty had carried him too far in this respect. Viewing the nature of the state in evolutionary terms, Spencer is little interested ... forms of the state and society, according to Spencer, are the military state and the industrial state. The military state is the early form of social organization, primitive, barbarian, and geared to permanent readiness for war. The individual is no more than a means to an end set by the state: victory in war. Society is firmly organized, and every individual occupies the place assigned to him by the exigencies of militarism and authoritarian government. Status is the characteristic principle of the military society, and there is little ...
- 5785: Oeconomicus And Lysistrata
- ... shows a very different and less powerful view of men and a more prominent view of females in Greek society. Lysistrata is a play that was written to show the authors distaste of the Peloponnesian War. Aristophanes seems to think that the men of Greece are fighting the war not like courageous and smart men but more like idiots, and women could fight the war more effectively. In the play the women characters take over the treasury of Athens in hopes of stopping the Peloponnesian War. One of the main male characters of the play says, "
I'm the ...

- 5787: Lincoln 2
- ... the conflict of arms." The Confederates, however, accused him of being the real aggressor. They said he had cleverly manoeuvred them into firing the first shot so as to put upon them the onus of war guilt. Though some historians have repeated this charge, it appears to be a gross distortion of the facts. Lincoln was determined to preserve the Union; to do so he thought he must take a stand against the Confederacy, and he concluded he might as well take this stand at Sumter. Lincoln's primary aim was neither to provoke war nor to maintain peace. In preserving the Union, he would have been glad to preserve the peace also, but he was ready to risk a war that he thought would be short. After the firing on Ft. Sumter, Lincoln called upon the state governors for troops (Virginia and three other states of the upper South responded by joining the Confederacy). ...

- ... a tie. Lasting for two days, April 6 and 7 of 1862, casualties for both sides exceeded 20,000. The Battle of Shiloh was a message to both the North and South that the Civil War was for real.

His army had moved up to a port on the Tennessee River called Pittsburg Landing in preparation for ... the power" and that he was "the only man he could lean on with entire confidence" (The Papers of Jefferson Davis, 1995, p 132). Since the succession of the South and the beginning of the War Between the States, both side were expecting one battle to decide the war. Reports to newspapers from Shiloh suggested the enormity and importance of the fight. "The great battle to which the whole nation has so long been looking forward, begun this morning and has resulted in ...
- 5789: Dinosaurs
- ... as tall as man, three hundred million years ago giant dragon flies buzzed around in the large forests, six million years ago small animals, called trilobites, lived in the sea and were rulers of the world. Evolutionists think that the world started off with just plants on it, then came many- legged animals from the sea (walking fish) that took over. They feel that a certain kind of fish evolved into the first four-footed animals ... years those animals tuned into dinosaurs. That is how dinosaurs got started. Then finally the dinosaurs died off and little, furry, four-legged creatures appeared. These animals were called mammals, which then took over the world. Then those mammals evolved into man. The Evolutionists believe, very strongly, that dinosaurs were extinct millions of years before there were even any people to walk the Earth. Why did dinosaurs become extinct? The ...
- 5790: Opinions on Esoteric Practices
- ... 12 but 13 Astrological constellations, which were the predominant sign for each Lunar month (13 signs, 13 moon cycles to a year). The missing sign is the Snake or serpent (dependant on where in the world you were born) and it was the 13th house of the system, fitting, if I remember correctly, on one side of Scorpio.

I have problems with this subject because it reminds me far too much of the false mediums and spiritualists of the 1920's who hoaxed so many people out of so much money ... except their own popularity and growth as a new-wave religion. I truly believe that it is possible that there are honest, for-real people who can channel the spirits of the dead and other-world beings, but like I believe in most things in this field, if their asking more than a simple re-imbursment for their time and possibly travel time (say $25-50 for an hour) I ...
