Many people gave up on liberal democracy in the nineteen-thirties, but Kennan, even after the war, and in his most widely read books-“American Diplomacy,” published in 1951, and the first volume of his “Memoirs,” which came out in 1967 and won a Pulitzer Prize-was blunt about his estrangement from American life and his antipathy to democracy. I hate the ‘peepul’ I have become clearly un-American.” In the draft of an unfinished book, begun in the nineteen-thirties, he advocated restricting the vote to white males, and other measures designed to create government by an élite. “I hate the rough and tumble of our political life,” he wrote, in 1935, to a sister, Jeanette, to whom he was close. He was firmly anti-majoritarian, not only in foreign affairs, where he considered public opinion a menace, but in governmental decision-making generally. “Before us stretches the whole great Pacific Coast,” he wrote in the diary on a plane trip West, “and my only thought, as we approach it, is: throughout the length and breadth of it not one single thing of any importance is being said or done.” “You have despaired of yourself,” he wrote in his diary after a visit to Chicago “now despair of your country!” He had a special distaste for what he called “the Latin-American fringe”-Florida, Texas, and California. Kennan thought that Americans were shallow, materialistic, and self-centered-he had the attitude of a typical mid-century European-and the more he saw of them the less fond of them he grew. The woman he married, in 1931, Annelise Sørensen, was Norwegian, and when he and his family resettled in the United States-where he remained, apart from two prematurely terminated appointments as Ambassador, first to the Soviet Union (1952), and then to Yugoslavia (1961-63)-he spent almost all of his time in the State Department, or at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, or on the secluded farm he owned in Pennsylvania, outside a town it amused some god of geopolitics to have named East Berlin. Kennan: An American Life” (The Penguin Press $39.95), and the most peculiar thing about Kennan, a man not short on peculiarities, is that he had little love for, or even curiosity about, the country whose fortunes he devoted his life to safeguarding.īetween 1926, the year he began his Foreign Service career, in Geneva, and 1946, when he made a heroic return from Moscow as the author of the primal document of Cold War foreign policy, the Long Telegram, Kennan lived mostly abroad. The one puzzle in John Lewis Gaddis’s first-rate biography of the diplomat George Kennan, which Gaddis began in 1982, when his subject was seventy-eight, and waited nearly thirty years to complete, since Kennan lived to be a hundred and one, is the subtitle.

![]() So, a tridacnid clam doesn’t have to rely on filter-feeding when kept under optimal conditions. zebra, encrusted with coralline algae.Īs long as a tridacnid clam gets plenty of light, these algae being maintained within its body can make more food then they need for themselves and can donate the excess to the clam host. I cannot identify the two small ones on the left to the species level, but the one on the right is the common turkey wing clam, A. This is why tridacnids are known as zooxanthellate clams, while the rest are azooxanthellate.Īrc clams (Arca spp.) like these are also found on aquacultured live rock at times. While they can and often do filter-feed, they also contain large complements of live zooxanthellae in their extendable soft tissues, which are the same single-celled algae that corals utilize. Tridacnid clams are a bit different than the rest though, as they can cover their nutritional needs in more than one way. ![]() However, for the most part they rely on phytoplankton, specifically. As far as the digestible material goes, many clams can actually use a variety of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and bacteria, but can also make use of some detritus, too. Various types of particles are also sorted out to some degree along the way to the mouth, and most of the indigestible/unsuitable stuff is discarded. As these waterborne particles pass over the gills, many of them stick to their surfaces and are then moved along by cilia into grooves that ultimately direct the particles to a clam’s mouth. And, by creating such currents, they also draw in food particles along with the water. They’re covered by numerous, microscopic hair-like structures called cilia, which can move back and forth rhythmically to create a current of water that flows over the gills for gas exchange. Their gills are finely branched structures that take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide, but they’re responsible for the capture of food particles, too. To cover their nutritional needs, the vast majority of clams strain various sorts of plankton from the surrounding waters, making them filter-feeders by definition. Water is taken in through the inhalent siphon in the background and leaves through the exhalent siphon in the foreground. This one has opened its valves a bit and has extended its tube-like siphons, which are the openings where water is moved into the clam and over its gills, and then back out minus any captured food particles. Here you can see a jewel box clam (Chama macerophylla), a species often found on aquacultured live rock from Florida. So, they’re far more complicated than they might seem. They have complex gills, a mouth, stomach, and intestines, a heart, kidneys, ovaries and/or testes, a well-developed (albeit brainless) nervous system, and more. However, they actually have a full set of well-developed specialized organs. And with that said, I want to get back to complexities for a moment.Ĭlams don’t appear to be very complicated animals while just sitting around on the bottom of the sea or an aquarium. However, I’ll be sticking to the epifaunal clams, which are the ones that live on the bottom rather than in it, or attach themselves to rocks, macroalgae, or other invertebrates, such as corals, etc. Some of them, such as the infaunal clams, live their lives buried in the substrate, too. Some of these molluscs swim around all the time while some crawl about. This phylum is also home to the snails, cephalopods, and a several other invertebrates that are far more complex than the corals and their kin. While corals are members of the Phylum Cnidaria and are relatively simple animals, clams belong to the Phylum Mollusca. However, clams are about as distantly related to corals as an animal can be. Like coral skeletons, these valves are composed of calcium carbonate, and are produced by the living tissues of the clam. Each half of a clam’s shell is properly called a valve, and the “bi” part is obviously added to it because there are two of them. I’ll also give you some information about a few types of clam that are commonly seen in reef environments and sometimes for sale. So, I want to provide you with some general information about the biology of clams and some specific information about why they can be difficult to keep alive long-term in aquariums. These include a variety of scallops and oysters, and a few other species, none of which are well-suited for aquarium life primarily due to their demanding dietary needs. But, there are a few non-tridacnid clams that are also available to us, some that hitchhike into our aquariums on live rock and such, and some that just show up seemingly from nowhere from time to time, too. Most reef aquarium keepers know something about the commonly-offered tridacnids, otherwise known as the giant clams.

![]() Although early in his career Cage appeared in some of his uncle's films, he changed his name to Nicolas Cage to avoid the appearance of nepotism as Coppola's nephew. By this stage of his career, Coppola had already directed Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Gene Hackman and Robert De Niro. I was like, 'That's what I want to do'." Īt age 15, he tried to convince his uncle, Francis Ford Coppola, to give him a screen test, telling him "I'll show you acting." His outburst was met with "silence in the car". ![]() Nothing affected me-no rock song, no classical music-the way Dean affected me in Eden. I saw him in Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden. He said he started acting because he "wanted to be James Dean. His first non-cinematic acting experience was in a school production of Golden Boy. He aspired to act from an early age and also attended UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. He attended Beverly Hills High School, which is known for its many alumni who became entertainers. His two brothers are New York radio personality Marc "The Cope" Coppola and director Christopher Coppola. Through his father, he is a nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and of actress Talia Shire, and a cousin of directors Roman Coppola and Sofia Coppola, film producer Gian-Carlo Coppola, and actors Robert and Jason Schwartzman. His paternal grandparents were composer Carmine Coppola and actress Italia Pennino, and his paternal great-grandparents were immigrants from Bernalda, Basilicata.

Upon arrival, Kennedy was informed that King had died. Before boarding a plane to attend campaign rallies in Indianapolis, he learned that King had been shot in Memphis, Tennessee. Kennedy, who was campaigning to earn the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, made his remarks while in Indianapolis, Indiana, after speaking at two Indiana universities earlier in the day. Kennedy of New York delivered an improvised speech several hours after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. ![]() On April 4, 1968, United States Senator Robert F. We're going to stand up amid tear gas! We're going to stand up amid anything they can muster up, letting the world know that we are determined to be free!Īlbeit shortened, reworded, and deprived of context, the viral passage captures an essential point King was trying to make, but it is more accurately represented as a paraphrase, not a direct quote.Problems playing this file? See media help. We're going to stand up right here in Alabama amid police dogs, if they have them. We're going to stand up right here in Alabama, amid the billy-clubs. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. Ī man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. The cessation of breathing in his life is merely the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit. He's just as dead at 36 as he would be at 80. A man might be afraid his home will get bombed, or he's afraid that he will lose his job, or he's afraid that he will get shot, or beat down by state troopers, and he may go on and live until he's 80. And if a man happens to be 36 years old, as I happen to be, some great truth stands before the door of his life - some great opportunity to stand up for that which is right. Day:īut while the exact quote is nowhere to be found in King's speeches or writings, it does seem to be a paraphrase of a more complex thought he uttered during a sermon in Selma, Alabama, on 8 March 1965, the day after " Bloody Sunday," on which civil rights protesters were attacked and beaten by police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge:ĭeep down in our non-violent creed is the conviction there are some things so dear, some things so precious, some things so eternally true, that they're worth dying for. Similarly, King never uttered the statement, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter," though it is abundantly cited as such every year on Martin Luther King, Jr. The shortened version made King look like "an arrogant twit," poet Maya Angelou complained. Others agreed. Ultimately, the wording was removed from the statue. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice, say that I was a drum major for peace. It was was an ill-considered paraphrase of a deeper thought King had uttered two months before he was assassinated in 1968: Nor did King actually say or write the line, "I was a drum major for justice, peace, and righteousness," though those exact words were inscribed on a statue of MLK erected in Washington, D.C., in 2011. It was not really King who said, for example, "I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy," but rather a Facebook user whose prefatory remarks were conflated with King's when her post was copied and pasted and went viral. said a great many quotable things, but words have also been attributed to him that were not his own. ![]() In each level, the player can find a special flask (the Magic Potion) which, when thrown, summons a door to a unique parallel area called Sub-Space.

Unlike traditional Mario games, where the hero defeats enemies by jumping on them, Super Mario Bros. Holding the down direction on the d-pad causes the character to charge up a " super jump", in which the next jump will be even higher than usual. Holding down the Jump button, rather than tapping it, causes the character to jump higher. Players use the "A" button to jump and the "B" button to run, pick up objects/enemies, and throw held objects/enemies. Princess - The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom is the slowest character in the game (in terms of both movement and picking up items) and does not jump as high as Mario, but she has the ability to temporarily float in the air (by holding down the jump button while in the air).Toad - The princess's attendant, Toad has the weakest jumping ability in the game, but is the fastest character (in both movement and picking up items).Luigi - Mario's brother and a green-suited plumber, Luigi is not as fast as Mario (and does not pick up items as fast), but he has the highest jumping power in the game. ![]() Mario - The titular hero and red-suited plumber, Mario is the most balanced character of the four.Before a new stage is played (or after a continue from losing all lives), players can switch between four characters (each with their own unique abilities and attributes): 2 is a standard side-scrolling platformer where players must traverse through 20 stages (split into seven unique areas, called Worlds), defeating various enemies and navigating dangerous obstacles in order to find mystical orbs (which trigger special doorways, called Hawkmouths, that lead to the next stage).

The original re-make was also released in weekly parts (as BS Super Mario USA: Power Challenge) for the Japan-exclusive Stellaview satellite modem add-on from March 1996 to April 1996. This version was further re-made for the Game Boy Advance on Jas Super Mario Advance, adding a variety of new features (including the "Yoshi Challenge", in which players re-visit stages to find hidden Yoshi eggs, and a new point-scoring system). This remake adds some enhancements, such as allowing players to switch characters after losing a life and increasing the amount of lives given.
