“The taxi stand was only an open shelter, so I was freezing as I looked toward midtown. I could see the RCA building with its bright red logo at Rockefeller Center, and farther south, the Empire State Building with its illuminated set-backs. At the tip of Manhattan, the twin towers of the World Trade Center -- which were over 1,100 feet tall themselves -- flanked the mile-high Space Trylon. It was clear as well as cold, and as I looked toward Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, it seemed to be poijnting to the stars. This, of course, was the idea, since it embodied the joint American-Soviet space exploration program that settled the Moon in 1955, and, twenty years later, Mars.”

“אתר האינטרנט של אוניברסיטת אררט־ניאגרה מבשר לי בגאווה על שלושה סטודנטים שנרשמו השנה ללימודי עברית בחוג ללשונות עתיקות, שם מלמדים אותה לצד לטינית, יוונית עתיקה, גאלית, ארמית, אסקימו־גרנלנדית, קאווסקר ושפת שבט הטוסקארורה שזוכה בעת האחרונה לעדנה. "הסטודנטים בני המזל הללו יזכו לקרוא את ספר הספרים בשפה שבה נכתב"... גן חיות לשפות נכחדות. בואו ילדים, נבקר בכלוב של העברית.”

“And here she was. Lying on the floor of a dusty, empty, locked room thinking how grateful she felt. She smiled, though it hurt tremendously to do so, thinking how blessed she had been to have spent twelve years with the most precious gifts from God. She felt honored that they called her mother. She knew she had done the best she could teaching them about life and love, faith and family. Margo lay slowly dying from the wounds inflicted by a monster, but she was at peace. Because though the devil meant it for evil, God turned it to good.”

“In his deathbed delirium, Jackson had cried out, “Order A.P. Hill to prepare for action . . . Pass the infantry to the front.” These laurels were richly deserved, for Hill was inseparable from Jackson’s string of victories. He effected a system of command and discipline within his division which made it a model within the Army of Northern Virginia. His emphasis on speed led it to become known as the “Light Division,” despite its large size (six brigades).”
