Cadena de promesasProceso No. 631, 5 de diciembre de 1988A los dueños certificados del poder, no tiene caso (si es que se pudiera) regatearles las horas del triunfalismo. El triunfalismo es sano a su modo, convierte en multitudes civicas a los cuerpos de seguridad, agudiza el espiritu de elite, implanta en los camarografos el gusto por las tomas reverenciales, divide al pueblo en vallas secundarias (indiferentes y oposicionistas anexadas) y vallas de honor. Y concedasele a los priistas un tiempo en el sexenio de credibilidad-por-fatiga, y de triunfalismo. Se los merecen. Han soportado el 6 de julio con todo y caida del Sistema (ya tan famosa como el Sistema mismo), la injuria que es la existencia misma de la oposicion, los malos modos de la opinion publica, el huesped inesperado que es la sociedad civil. Es justa la tregua.El primero de diciembre en el Palacio Legislativo, en la toma de posesion de Carlos Salinas de Gortari, el triunfalismo es la psicologia inevitable. ¡Ya la hicimos! Una vez mas, estamos aqui todos juntos, y asi seguiremos, porque a la izquierda y a la derecha estan los abismos de la falta de poderes y honores del[]Fragmento de: Carlos Monsivais.

From a young age Carly Holmes has been in thrall to the creatures that live around us. Her childhood companion was a blind gander called Beep Beep who thought she was his wife. She nearly postponed her wedding when a pair of wrens nested in a hole by her back door and cut it very fine to fledge their chicks into an assorted audience of cats and magpies.This collection of essays, beautifully illustrated throughout, are each of them love letters to the Teifi valley and to the river that winds through Carlys days. The wild animals the badgers who visit nightly for peanuts; the juvenile osprey who learned to fish on the estuary across the lane; the young jackdaw she nurtured until it was healthy enough to ignore her whenever she went into the garden; the cuckoos she discovered in flagrante one afternoon on a lockdown walk are the very heart of it.Describing encounters and missed encounters with the wildlife that surrounds the Teifi, Love Letters on the River is a lyrical, honest and tender tribute to the many creatures both in the garden and beyond the garden wall that bring joy to Carlys life simply by existing. Includes a dozen black and white illustrations commissioned exclusively for this publication by acclaimed local artist Guy Manning.

Filled with sparkling anecdotes and tales of living life to the full, featuring previously unseen photographs from Lady Glenconners personal collection.Lady Anne Glenconner, Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Margaret and Maid of Honour at the Queens Coronation, returns with a rich, sparkling memoir told through an A to Z of her life. From affairs of the heart and Basils Bar to dinners with the King and the art of entertaining each chapter reveals a vivid moment of joy, mischief or resilience.Whether offering tips on getting out of the bath with grace, or how to lose at cards with Princess Margaret, she shares wisdom and memory in equal measure. This book is a love letter to a disappearing world and a reminder that life, at any age, should be faced with laughter, a stiff upper lip, and the odd vodka tonic.

Greenvile Collins (1643-94) is the most important Royal Navy officer you have never heard of. But he was well known to Samuel Pepys, and worked personally for Charles II, James II and William III as hydrographer, navigation instructor and royal yacht captain. The charts by themselves would ensure his place in history, but Collins also made history through his actions. As navigator of the Kings flagship during the Glorious Revolution he perpetrated an ingenious deception, granting the Dutch army crucial extra time to mount their invasion. This has never been written about, perhaps because historians tend not to be navigators, yet its all there, in Collins 1688 journal, hiding in plain sight. This new study both explores for the first time Collins charts as navigation aids, as well as how he changed the course of history.

A true story based on a false storyLate one night in February 2018, the award-winning Irish journalist Olaf Tyaransen returned home to find his name trending on Twitter.To his horror, he discovered that Brooke Magnanti - controversial author of the Belle de Jour books - had published an article accusing him of physically and sexually assaulting another woman a few years earlier.Tyaransen had never met Magnanti, and the woman in question had recently died in tragic circumstances.

A memoir from the writer of BENT with a foreword by Ian McKellenSherman takes us on a journey through America in the mid twentieth century, starting in New Jersey where he was born in the 1930s to a Jewish immigrant family ending on Broadway with the premier of his seminal play Bent starring Richard Gere. On route, we encounter other famous performers including Meryl Streep, Bee Gees, Joan Baez, but the scene-stealing character is always his father a charismatic narcissist who might have given Trump a run for his money. We stop off in Woodstock, Los Angeles and London a city Martin would eventually make home; he relays his story with self-depreciating humour as he struggles to make it in theatre, with his sexuality, and under the shadow of the inheritable disease that killed his mother tragically early a disease from which he finds himself finally free, as he turns forty in the books closing pages.

On 13 March 1996 Thomas Hamilton walked into the gym hall of a primary school in Dunblane armed with four legally owned handguns and in less than four minutes fired 105 bullets, killing 16 young children, their teacher and injuring many more. It was a crime that first shocked the world then changed the nation.Based on original archival research and exclusive interviews with parents, politicians and police, One Morning in March tells for the first time the incredible and powerful true story of how, in their darkest hour, a band of parents used their grief as fuel in a fight to forever ban handguns in Britain, and create the tightest gun laws in the world.
