...Emerson Hall, one guide tells a story--one of the tour's staples--about another spring day when Gertrude Stein was taking a philosophy exam in a class taught by William James. Legend has it that Stein wrote on the top of the exam that she couldn't bear to take a test on such a beautiful day, and that she was going outside. James gave her an A, saying that she truly understood the meaning of philosophy...
...Washington-based coalition of national organizations representing old and young constituents, works to push goals of mutual interest to the two age groups. The real test of these efforts will come during the next few decades, as the baby boomers turn geriatric and the rest of society has to bear the enormous burden of caring for them in what is likely to be an era of dwindling resources.

Etain asks, while standing over the bones of the deceased woman whose name she bears, "What have I to fear if this is what you have become?" Death is a return to mother earth, and both Etain and Macha glorify the mother. Macha celebrates the regenerative process of birth when she says, "There is no love like the love I bear for Etain." She and her daughter, the only truly successful female characters, are exemplars of binding...
