IV-10 Massei Cities of Refuge

Massei gives a summary of the marches that occured during the Exodus from Egypt, listing the various places where the Israelites strayed. Forty-two places are named relating to forty-two levels of spirituality. After the mention of Aaron's death on Mt Hor, the account of travels becomes more detailed in preparation for entry into the Promised Land. The passage details the boundaries of the land, setting the traditional borders. Moses portions the lands to eleven tribes and establishes the laws of inheritance for the Daughters of Zelophehad (see Nr 27:1-11). Because the Levites do not inherit land as a tribe, they aer given six cities of refuge with pasture land assigned to them. The cities are designated as places of asylum for anyone who committed accidental manslaughter. Scripture distinguishes between accidental death, murder and self-defense.

In Memorium: A Great Man Meets His Death. Reflections On The Life of Hunter S. Thompson

When I first heard of the death of Hunter S. Thompson, I had a desire to write an essay expressing thoughts on the memory of his passing. Since this is a page dedicated to the writings of the Beats, it seemed only appropriate to remember Thompson, but the more I thought about his death, the harder it became to write on the man without avoiding the standard cliches that often abound on the passing of a great man. For the past month, I have given a great deal of thought on how to express the emotions felt by the literary community on the hole left in the genre of modern fiction since his death. Eulogies are so hard to write, especially when a writer as unique as Thompson was leaves the literary world. His distinct personality will undoubtedly be missed.
