In a weekend article for the Washington Post, Sirota argues anti-Muslim sentiments took root in ’80s Hollywood, in a range of films-even Back to the Future, featuring angry Libyans with bazookas, “as a precursor of today’s socially acceptable-and congressionally sanctioned-Islamophobia and prejudice against those of Middle Eastern descent.” In his latest Creators column, Sirota confesses that as a boy, he was indoctrinated into America’s 1980s militarism, citing his G.I.

Here is what he told Marc Spears of ESPN’s Andscape a few months ago. Hart also sounds like a guy who wants to stay in New York. There may be no more Thibodeau player on the Knicks roster than Hart you know where the coach’s loyalties lie. The CAA-repped swingman’s eventual deal to re-sign with the Knicks and a front office helmed by CAA alumnus Leon Rose is more often referred to be rivals as inevitable. I have yet to encounter a single team that believes Hart will be gettable. But then reality hits them, reports Marc Stein in his newsletter. That has other teams drooling at the chance to snap him up, right? Yes. He has a $12.9 million player option, but he will make more than that on the market - $17-18 million a year to start? - and grab the security of a multi-year contract.

Chesterman’s illustration to Vasco da Gama Rounding The Cape Of Good Hope reminded me of Dr Seuss’s beardless lions in If I Ran The Zoo and I thought maybe Chesterman inspired Dr Seuss. I remember being introduced to Hugh Chesterman after purchasing Number Eleven Joy Street in 2007. Hugh Chesterman edited The Merry-Go-Round The school I taught in and the surrounding houses had been the fields and building sites that Paddy Clarke plays in. My parents still lived in the house I'd grown up in. I was 10 in 1968, as is Paddy, and I do remember that I was thinking a lot about my childhood, possibly anticipating my son's future. I don't really remember why I decided to write about a 10-year-old boy, or about that boy in 1968 - I don't remember the decisions. That there was still room in my life for writing. So, I started Paddy Clarke to prove to myself that I could - that it was permitted. But the other definition I'd only been getting the hang of, novelist, was being nudged aside, becoming a hobby or a memory. They were joking - I think - the friends who announced my retirement. I'd finished The Van, my third novel, the previous November and I remember being told, more than once, that it was the last book I'd write for a long time, until after the baby, and the other babies, had been fattened and educated. I started writing Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha in February 1991, a few weeks after the birth of my first child.

A final section argues that if true friendship is to be nourished rather than destroyed by opposition, the virtue of “sympathy” must be present. Fourth, I show that Nietzsche differs most from ancient authors in his uncompromising insistence that if friendship is to serve truth rather than comfort or illusion, it is necessarily agonistic. Third, I will show that Nietzsche takes friendship in its highest form to aim at a goal, appropriately named “truth.” Here I draw upon both “middle period” texts and BGE, the latter to show that a concern for friendship pervades Nietzsche’s oeuvre. Second, I will argue that Nietzsche takes superior friendship to be possible but rare, since it requires its participants to balance three pairs of opposing qualities which are difficult to keep in equilibrium. Insight on this point is valuable, because it provides clear vision of what friendship is not.
