I'm looking for the title of a book I read years ago. It was about a Catholic boy and a Jewish girl who fell in love. The book follows them throught the years, and he eventually becomes pope and discovers that he has a child by her. Anyone know the title? By the way, it was NOT The Thorn Birds.

I have read the novel of human bondage and it seems to mee the novel is bigoted against the lower-classes. The main character is a very educated medical student in London with a club foot. He meets a cockney waitress who is extremely mean and rude and treats him very badly. Does anyone else think this book portrays the lower-classes in a bigoted way?

I have wondered about this ever since I read "Call of the wild". If there was such a man where was the home that Jack London describes? I remember that valley as a farming valley not as Silicon valley of today. I was born in 1950 and I remember orchards with grand houses. One place in particular was about 2 miles from the University of Santa Clara close to El Camino Real. My mother told me it was the home of a old judge.

Tortoise
Perhaps Zen is instructive because it is humorous. I would guess that if you took all such stories entirely seriously, you would miss the point as often as you would get it.
Achilles
Maybe there's something in your Tortoise-Zen.
Tortoise
Can you answer just one question for me? I would like to know this: Why did Bodhidharma come from India into China?
Achilles
Oho! Shall I tell you what Jōshū said when he was asked that very question?
Tortoise
Please do.
Achilles
He replied, “That oak tree in the garden.”
Tortoise
Of course; that's just what I would have said. Except that I would have said it in answer to a different question—namely, “Where can I find some shade from the midday sun?”
Achilles
Without knowing it, you have inadvertently hit upon one of the basic questions of Zen. That question, innocent as it sounds, actually means, “What is the basic principle of Zen?”
Tortoise
How extraordinary. I hadn't the slightest idea that the central aim of Zen was to find some shade.
Achilles
Oh, no—you've misunderstood me entirely. I wasn't referring to that question. I meant your question about why Bodhidharma came from India into China.

For the past 25 years someone has been planting a few 4X4 poles near the road in rural areas. About 20 long nails are sticking out of each of the poles with blue bottles attached. So they are blue bottle poles. What does this mean? They are more annoying than attractive.

I saw it on a pbs channel. When she was done cutting a regular piece of paper she opened it and she fit it over her body.

I'm in love with musical theatre and all my choral teachers praise me highly for my talents but I can sometimes be a bit over the top crazy, but it's just who I am. I've done nothing to aggrivate this group of people and I do what I do but people always seem to find something wrong with me. It's really starting to upset me so some great advice would be great.
Thanks

Here is the question as my teacher stated it:
Turn to your own life and cite at least five examples from todays culture that contribute to your own assumptions about humanity's moral character. (Hint: Start with what you, yourself, thinks about humanity's moral character; then look at out media, our instatutions, and other personal sources which you think have helped shape the assumptions you have.

I have 4 done and all I need is one more! Please help!

How did he get his people to go along with his "World Domination" agenda and "The Final Solution"?

Was he really a mastermind or was he just taught how to manipulate the masses ?

Did he have to convince them or just ease there conscience so they would do what the little devil in us wants ?
