Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Herbert Kuhner

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . .I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes". As a subtitle I’ve chosen “Stepping out of line,” which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

Hitler couldn’t have been such a bad person. After all, by intervening against the communists in the civil war, he saved Spain for Christianity. He couldn’t have killed six million Jews. It couldn’t have been more than four million.

Tomfoolery in the Land of Wicky-Wacky-Woo

According to Church Law it is ethical for a man to infect his whole family with aids, including his children. For it is Mortal Sin to prevent this from happening by the use of condoms….A man who has been infected with aids is justified in cohabiting with his wife. If he uses condoms, he is […]

H. K. and Dr. K. (6)

Apple Strudel and Arthur Schnitzler
I found the book in a chain bookshop in Heathrow Airport. It contained interviews of “former” high-ranking Nazis made in the late Seventies and early Eighties. (I cannot credit the book at this writing, since it absconded from my library. Unfortunately, I did not note down the author, title or […]

Book Shops
I loved the Village when it was the Village. That was when, in addition to cafés, fine restaurants, bakeries and interesting small shops, there were bookshops and theaters.
There was of course the great 8th St. Bookshop and there was also a spacious one on Sixth Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets, near the subway […]

Hangmen Also Die

Hangmen Also Die, was made in 1943 by Fritz Lang and originally scripted by Bertolt Brecht. It would have been Brecht’s only Hollywood film credit, but the great film director scrapped the great writer’s script, leaving Brecht with a legendary half a credit.
I don’t know what Lang threw out, but what he […]

A Wonderful Human Being
There is a wonderful human being who does wonderful things. There was only one thing that the wonderful human being did that wasn’t wonderful. He sent someone, who was anything but wonderful, to Kingdom Come.
What to do! The question is should one turn a blind eye or should justice be done?
If the […]

Murder for a Good Cause

Herbert Kuhner
Ordinary murderers kill after they have raped a woman or they kill to acquire money. These terrorists (Bader-Meinhof) thought that by murdering they had to take action against the murder of hundreds of thousands of children in Vietnam and they thought that they had to take action against the poverty in the Third World.

The BBC documentary Sexual Crimes and the Vatican is based on a 1962 memo from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. “The document reaffirmed the inviolability of the seal of confession, but the BBC film said that it was intended to ‘protect and hide’ abusive priests….There was to be an oath of secrecy […]

Anti-Fascism On the March

A Duo
He’s in the media; she’s in politics. He and she are in the forefront of every liberal cause and their names are on every manifesto.
