  • America, quo vadis et cui bono? (updated 20jun13)

    George Rebane Economic historian Niall Ferguson invites an answer to that question by first addressing ‘How America Lost Its Way’.  As the Laurence Tisch Professor of History at Harvard, Senior Research Fellow at Oxford, and Senior Fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, Dr Ferguson is a man of some accomplishment and moment.  His new book The…

  • ‘Geislingen DP Camp Years: 1945-49’

    George Rebane As I have been assembling sketches of my childhood European experience, I found myself avoiding the considerable time we spent in the Geislingen DP camp.  So much growing up happened there that I couldn’t seem to get my arms around the story that would do justice to the life and lives then lived. …

  • Energy Forever?

    George Rebane That the major sources of natural gas and oil are from earth’s chemical processes and not fossilized sources has been the subject of a quiet debate over the last decades.  If chemistry wins, then earth will supply humans with literally endless amounts of energy that will benefit everyone living on the planet.  And…

    George Rebane The RR category ‘We the Sheeple’ has been renamed ‘We the iSheeple’ in order to keep up with the times that require starting certain words with the lower case ‘i’.  Except for some outrageous ideas wrangled in these pages, RR has been pretty staid in its approach to format and matters of eye…

  • Mugsy explains it away

    George Rebane [At police headquarters we enter the viewing room showing an interrogation already in progress with Mugsy, an accomplished bank robber.] Detective:  So Mugsy, we had you under surveillance and saw you enter the bank packing heat and a note in your pocket that read, ‘THIS IS A HOLDUP, don’t make any noise or…

  • … in the Eye of the Beholder

    "That's because we haven't yet played Cowboys and Muslims, but it's a'comin'."  (punchline to a joke about a conversation between an American Indian, a Muslim exchange student, and an old cowboy waiting at a small town airport in Montana.) George Rebane Readers should be clear by now that I don’t record these thoughts to endear…
