"Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure.
Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers." (Wikipedia)

So I got a ticket for Metamorphoses from The Melting Pot which seems the best way. The theater box office doesn't seem to open according to its schedule. Another weekend of theater. Nevada Rep on Nov. 14 and Brüka on Nov. 15.
More craziness:
The deterioration in the political representatives of the ruling elite is a function, in the final analysis, of the decline in its fortunes and prospects. George W. Bush's ascension to prominence speaks to the terminal crisis of American capitalism. Now a cosmetic change may be necessary, but Bush was no accident: he represented accurately the dominant section of the US establishment--arrogant, shortsighted and criminal to the core.

The federal bailout of Wall Street--despite the hysteria of the House Republicans--has nothing to do with socialism. The measures could be more correctly characterized, not as nationalization of the banks, but as privatization of the US Treasury, turning over its vast resources to billionaires and speculators.

The crisis unfolding is not primarily American or European, but global in character and is shattering longstanding economic relationships in which China played a central role. Over the past two decades, China emerged as the preeminent cheap labour platform to boost the flagging profit rates of corporations around the world. China, Japan and other Asian countries recycled their huge export earnings back into the US, keeping the value of their currencies low--a process that helped fund massive US trade and budget deficits. The influx of money enabled the US Federal Reserve to maintain a cheap credit policy, fuelling the housing bubble and debt-driven consumption in the US, which in turn maintained the market for Chinese goods.

The economies of central and eastern Europe are being rocked by the crisis of world capitalism, compounded by the corrupt and pro-big business policies of their local elites.

Paulson knows what the banks are up to; after all, these are his friends. The truth is, the $125 billion was given to the banks not to soften the effects of the recession or increase lending. It was given to make the strong banks even stronger so they could monopolize the industry. Paulson's real plan is "more consolidation" and less competition, or as economist Michael Hudson says, "Big fish eat little fish." The Treasury Secretary is using his authority to reward his friends rather than doing what is best for the country.

[S]houldn't "change"--or even slight mitigation--be made of sterner stuff than this?

Set in the coal town of Jewell Valley, Virginia, in 1948, Little Audrey deals forthrightly with the effects of poverty, illness and drunkenness. It also paints a starkly different picture from that which is often presented of the post-war years. This narrative makes clear that not all communities experienced an economic boom.

Your purpose then, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, in all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.

Britain in the 1930s had experienced a dramatic reversal in fortune. Since the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 it had bestridden the globe like a colossus, but by the 1920s America emerged as the dominant world power. German industry far outstripped Britain's, which only survived because of the protected markets offered by the empire. The class struggles of the time culminated in the General Strike of 1926. By the 1930s mass unemployment threatened to further destabilise a social peace that had been made possible by Britain's world dominance. The attractive power of the Stalinist Communist Party for the four Cambridge scholars, who became KGB agents before later being recruited by the British secret services, was not simply based on a misguided sympathy for socialism. In this increasingly unstable and volatile world, it must have seemed to them that the Soviet Union could be a powerful counterweight to the might of America and other rival imperialist powers; one, moreover, that had in the Spanish Civil War stressed its democratic credentials, anti-fascism and opposition to the struggle for social revolution.
