Back from Portugal to find the garden overgrown and mass of news to digest. While in Lisbon I wa5ched far more television than I do here, largely to work on my Portuguese comprehension. Canada made the news a couple of times—a second death due to AH1N1, the Stanley Cup finals (only on BBC sports,) Alice Munro winning the International Man Booker, J’ai tué ma mère running away at Cannes and the CAW making more concessions to GM. Other big stories here didn’t rate a mention there. It’s going to take me a while to digest what’s happened, to say nothing about making sense of ... Read Full Story

A ghost on the cover of The New Yorker this week, or rather the outline of Fidel Castro in smoke, to commemorate his announcement that he is stepping down. I remember the Spanish class when our teacher Mr. Frankel practically cried, he was so happy that Batista had been overthrown. His wife was Cuban, and her family had suffered under the dictator. When Castro and his friends took over, Mr. Frankel was sure times would get better. There’s no way of telling what happened to his wife’s family—he would be in his 80s by now, and after I left to go to university I ... Read Full Story
