Netflix censorship

I rented Revolutionary Road, directed by the great Sam Mendes, from Netflix. The 1st disk arrived cracked in half. The replacement had the abortion scenes edited out. Sabotage, censorship! I called Netflix; they said the movie studios do it because abortion is such a hot political topic. Are they afraid of getting penalized? They said it is one of the reasons they are retiring DVD service after 25 years.😟

Elvis' death the 16th

Elvis died on the 16th. Tne new movie about his relationship with "colonel" Tom Parker is terrific. I met Elvis when I was 15, he 19, just beginning to get started. He was very friendly until he became superfamous. Then he was out of reach. I still love him and his music. That's me next to him.

deaths

E.O. Wilson was my hero as a naturalist and conservationist. He was the gentlest of people. Anita Greene was my Jungian analyst for years at different times of my life. I miss both terribly already.
