Book Review: The Daughter of Time
Richard III, king of England from 1483-1485, is possibly the most-maligned monarch of history. Accused by Tudor and traditionalist "historians" of murdering his nephews, poisoning his wife, and wanting to marry his niece, the traditional image of him went nearly unchallenged until Josephine Tey published <I>The Daughter of Time</I>, which presents a well-reasoned rebuttal of the long-accepted "facts."

Brain Fever
My mother recently described to me a cautionary story her mother once told her while she was going to school in Norway. Far more than a story, it's a window into the temperance of southern Norway in the early fifties. It's a gentle warning to live a life of moderation, to exercise restraint in matters of exertion, and to soothe the rough tangle of thoughts that so often can complicate and inflame the individual's existence.
