“I quite enjoy fame, especially when you go to conventions in America where they treat you like a god with stretch limos and the whole fame thing, but then when you come back to Britain, you end up changing in a toilet in a theatre off West End and that's really good, because that is what it's about.” EndsWholeAmericaEnjoyFameTreatsWestTheatreBritainConventionsToiletsLimosWest End Author:Sylvester McCoy

“Absolutely delightful, at first for its unspoiled picture of late-nineteenth-century Japan as seen through the eyes of three remarkable but very different Americans, [the missionary William Elliot Griffis [1843-1928], the scientist Edward Sylvester Morse [1838-1925], and the writer Lafcadio Hearn], and then for the marvelous reconstruction of how Japan worked on their minds, radically changing their perceptions of the country and the whole relationship between East and West--between the barbarian and the civilized. The book is a tour de force.” MindFirstsBookDifferentCountryWholeEyeThreeForceCenturyLatePerceptionScientistWestEastJapanRemarkableCivilizedMissionaryMarvelousDelightfulNineteenth CenturyBarbariansReconstructionThrough The EyesEast And West Author:Edwin O.

“The dumping of the mentally ill, full of these new psychiatric drugs, into the streets is a scandal. It's been carried furthest in New York, where whole sections of the decayed Upper West Side are being filled with pensioners and psychotic patients on stelazine, lithium carbonate, and everything else under the sun. They can't diagnose the patient, so they give him the whole psychiatric pharmacopoeia at once, and he walks around in a psychotic trance beautifully painted all over with petrochemicals.” GivingWholeSidesWalksSunStreetsNew YorkDrugFilledWestPatientIllSectionsScandalPsychoticTranceMentally IllPsychiatricWest SideLithium Author:Kenneth Rexroth
