Cracker Food

Splice Today 

Riffling through an old trunk (foot locker) the other day I came across this picture of my son Booker, taken (analog) years ago in the playroom of our Powell Building loft in Tribeca. No slight to my younger boy, but the star of the shot is that economy-sized box of Ritz crackers; I have no recollection of my wife buying them for the kids. A staple of my youth, unsurprisingly, as were Tony the Tiger and Bazooka Joe, and I wonder if the current Ritz rolls of crackers are still contained in that dull wax paper; probably not...

Second Year Syndrome

Splice Today 

First-year medical students, accustoming themselves to performing human autopsies, often play tricks on each other. A doctor, a family friend, who later became a respected generalist, once told me that he, as joke for a party that evening, borrowed a human hand from the cadaver he worked on that day.

Missions to Earth and Space

Splice Today 

I watched The Mission, a documentary on Disney Plus about John Chau, an American missionary who was killed in 2018 while trying to bring Christianity to North Sentinel Island, an Indian Ocean site inhabited by a tribe of hunter-gatherers who’ve shown a strong desire to avoid contact with outsiders. Chau’s diary survived, in which he wondered: “Is this Satan’s last stronghold on Earth?” Grimly, the film shows an evangelist speechifying that God is calling for more “firebrands” like Chau to light up “dark places” in the world...

DC and Shenandoah: Opposites and Complements

Splice Today 

When my mother and step-father retired as school teachers in 1983, they sold their house in Northwest Washington DC, built one near Sperryville, VA, and established an organic vegetable farm. Their DC-to-Shenandoah journey is shared by many Washingtonians. A federal judge, perhaps (David Tatel), or a writer (Edward Dolnick), a politician (Eugene McCarthy), an entrepreneur (the CEO of Carfax)—buys a house or a lot and starts spending weekends in Rappahannock County. When they retire, they move here full-time. Читать дальше...
