Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

...throw yourself completely into Life, and in the end, you will die- you will receive nothing from your life.

...." This liberal vision of an egalitarian America in which very large businesses and media monopolies are broken up under the 1890 Sherman Anti-Trust Act (which Reagan stopped enforcing, leading to the mergers & acquisitions frenzy that continues to this day) was the driving vision of the New Deal (and of "Trust Buster" Teddy Roosevelt a generation earlier).

My Big Art Adventure With Stephane Janssen

... is a testament to his emotional response to art, a response for which I have the greatest respect. Zoran Mušič from “We are not the Last ” (one of Stephane’s recent acquisitions) Stephane spent nearly two hours leading me through his house, sharing his art, and sharing his stories.

... of long practice. On this inside, his heart was a shade faster than usual. He was sure that Hepzibah wasn't noticing, though. She was interested only in the surface of her potential acquisitions.
