I do have to disagree with the article on one point. By chance I was placed in a section taught by the department chair, Eiseley himself. As a sophomore at Penn in 1958, I signed up for an introductory course on anthropology-a subject I knew little about. Such a pleasure to find the article in the Gazette on Loren Eiseley. Sorry I can’t see that as a high point in my life or get nostalgic about it! The picture in the article clearly shows the platform collapsing. The horse did not dive so much as the platform collapsed and the horse fell into the pool. I too experienced the diving horse on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City described in Cynthia A. Example: Hitler and the ethnic Germans in the ’30s.
Why is Penn supporting these studies? Anytime we identify a group and keep telling them they are persecuted by others we usually make trouble. I was disappointed and alarmed by the cover and report “COVID’s Long Shadow” in the Jan|Feb 2022 issue. Finally, I am a longtime admirer of the journalism of Julia Klein and amĪlways glad to see an article of hers in the Gazette. Eugene Rabinowitz, who was the originator of the DoomsdayĬlock, discussed in “The Timekeeper,” was my husband’s graduate advisor in theġ940s.

I am writing to congratulate you on a remarkable Jan|Feb 2022 issue, which featured three outstanding articles: “A First-Rate Version of Himself” by Dennis Drabelle, about the brilliant author Loren Eiseley “The Timekeeper” by Matthew De George and “COVID’s Long Shadow” by Julia M.

We can learn about how connection works and what is possible in this big,Ĭomplicated world exploring different modalities? What made it possible forįind success and this photographer to remain mostly unknown? Are there things Thank you for publishing it.Īnd thanks for the article about Vivian Maier. I’m glad that the article on COVID was developed. I also was taken by the article “COVID’s Long Shadow,” and what researchers at Penn are doing. Both the article about Loren Eiseley and his difficulties talking one-on-one but tremendous ability to express himself in writing, and the one on Vivian Maier, “Delayed Exposure”, who was mainly a recluse, not discovered in her lifetime. I was taken with the Jan|Feb 2022 issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette. Possibilities in a Big, Complicated World
Eiseley remembered, Mask and Wig’s funny history, and more.
