the George Washington Bridge

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. Tyler Clementi was a young violinist who with his obliging instrument produced sounds that touched the heart. Given world enough and time who knows where this undeniable talent, showcased in the Ridgewood Symphony Orchestra and Bergen Youth Orchestra, would have taken him? But because he was attracted to men rather than to women, he was never to know. And so today, I sit here in Cambridge starring at a photograph of a dead boy we cannot afford to forget, for to forget would be the real crime...

... but memory is sharp, hard, remorseless, exquisitely painful...

And so we must have Mozart. Mozart who so well understood life... and who with such grandeur enables us to cope with death...

Thus, as the occasional music to this tale I give you the Master's Requiem Mass in D Minor (K. 626), composed in Vienna (1791) available in any search engine... Focusing on his life, whilst never forgetting his death and uneasy spirit...

The thousands of pages dedicated to the matter of Tyler Clementi focus on when he died, how he died, why he died, and, above all, who is responsible that he died... and I shall also deal with these crucial questions. But, first and foremost, we must never lose sight of the boy at the center of this matter... for this is above all his story...

Tyler was born in 1991 in Buffalo, New York and raised in Ridgewood, New Jersey. He was a good student and like so many other aspiring musicians found life, beauty, meaning and sustenance in the celestial purity of sound, often so intense as to produce exaltation, apotheosis, catharsis, ecstasy. Tyler was one of the gifted who took mere notes on a page and produced beauty... and whenever he picked up his violin that beauty was his to command.... and to give...

... and he gave freely, liberally, with the exuberance and trust of youth and a heart that sought love and meant no harm to anyone...

And so Tyler Clementi went to Rutgers, to test himself against the best of his peers... He was just 18 years old... with a mere handful of days to live. What happened next is now a matter of detailed record... why it happened will always require the judgement of Solomon and perhaps more... for the person we long to ask -- Tyler himself -- cannot tell us.

Dramatis personnae.

Now come the principal actors...

Tyler, his roommate Dharun Ravi, fellow hallmate Molly Wei... and the gaping worldwide community found on the Internet and without which there would have been no story, no tragedy, and a happier life for all.

Here is what happened....

On the nights of September 19 and 22, 2010 Clementi texted Ravi about using their room for the evening, a thing college students have been asking their roommates forever. On the first occasion Ravi met Clementi's friend, an older man whom Ravi did not like. Nothing so far meant very much; surely no one thought that Tyler would be soon dead. But the mad chemistry of tragedy had started... and it fermented in the brain of Dharun Ravi.

Ravi now says, as well he might, that he wasn't the agent provocateur for what happened, but as he stands convicted before the world, this is not surprising.

Fact: He thought it fitting and proper to use a webcam to view a portion of Clementi's dorm-room liaison with another man... and immediately tweeted it to his list of 150 people, thus beginning its viral dissemination.

Fact: Ravi posted text messages saying "Yeah, keep the gays away" and "People are having a viewing party with a bottle of Bacardi and beer in this kid's room for my roommate", along with directions on how to view it remotely.

Fact: Ravi set up his webcam and pointed it toward's Clementi's bed, where it was found by police, still so pointed.

All this Tyler learned... and acted responsibly, complaining to his resident assistant and two other college officials. He also wrote in detail about these events on the "Just Us Boys" message board and the Yahoo message board. He asked for a new room, a new roommate, and for help. He was doing what he had to do and he was doing it responsibly.

But here is where things went so very wrong...

"Thus conscience does make cowards of us all." (Hamlet)

But something gnawed at Clementi and so 38 times following his first webcam viewing he returned... returned... and returned again and again to that bit of video that he became convinced had destroyed his life, his future, his peace of mind. He was wrong, so very wrong, but he was young, inexperienced, and, he thought alone. And that is the real tragedy...

Thus did his dark purpose commence.

8:42 PM September 22.

The cast of characters was growing now. College administrators were now involved.. Ravi was back peddling as quick as he could, minimizing what he did, why he did it, stating over and over again that he meant nothing by it, didn't mean it, apologized for it.

But already Tyler had his foot upon a very different path... He was Hamlet now, without even knowing it:

"To be, or not to be: that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or take arms against a sea of troubles."

He had solved this conundrum.... tragically, finally, unnecessarily... an act of passion from a mind in turmoil. "The George Washington Bridge over the Hudson is the most beautiful bridge in the world." Le Corbusier

And it was here Tyler Clementi came to die, that is to say to do the extremest thing in his power... to embrace oblivion. What made him do this deed of rashness, to end everything and remove the future and every joy to come? We can never know, for his final words, sent on his cell phone from the great marvel towering above him, picked out in the brightest of lights, was brief, inadequate, far too little for such an epochal event:

"Jumping off the gw bridge sorry."

And so he jumped, alive for seconds still... already gone from the living, en route to eternity, the last things he saw, the dark waters of the Hudson, the explosion of light that was Manhattan. Then nothing... a dead boy of enigmas and secrets which I so long to know but never shall.

Envoi.

On March 16, 2012 now 20 year old Dharun Ravi was convicted of invasion of privacy and bias intimidation, a hate crime. Wherever he goes in life, however long he lives, every day he will think on young Tyler Clementi, whose vivid memory and restive spirit will be ever present... "To die, to sleep/No more... Be all my sins remember'd."

Before After

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author’s program note. In the 17th century, in France, ambitious men strove to become the masters of their crafts. They didn’t look for short-cuts; abominated slothful, slipshod ways, and always, always aimed not merely to excel, but to astonish not only their colleagues and their patrons… but most of all themselves, their most discerning critic, the one who knew everything and from whom there could be no secrets or matters undisclosed.

For the incidental music to this article on French master Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer, painter of flowers, I have selected music by Francois Couperin (1668-1733), master composer. Go to any search engine and find one of the many renditions of his gem “Les Baricades Misterieuses.” Turn it on, turn it up, for you are in the company of deft mastery, of craftsmanship, of genius.

Sotheby’s, London, Lot 251, December 8, 2011.

This is what the catalog said:

“Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer (Lille 1636-London 1699)

A still life of lilies, honeysuckle and other flowers in a vase on a ledge.

Signed lower right JBaptiste. oil on canvas 17 7/8″ by 22 3/8 in.”

This write-up was accompanied by a photograph, a photograph disclosing without mercy the pitiable condition of what had once been a work of grace, beauty, and allure, but which now was anything but. My heart went out to this picture, its painter, its present state of distress and the thought that here I might be able to make a difference, to make a once proud and beautiful object proud and beautiful again.

About Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer.

Monnoyer started his career providing designs for both the Gobelins and Beauvais tapestry workshops, the acme of such works. There his fruit and flower designs were judged to be excellent. Such was his skill and artistry that he was taken up by Charles Le Brun and so came to work at the Chateau de Marly, the hideaway King Louis XIV sought when the pomp and protocol which he created and insisted be used at Versailles became too overwhelming even for a Sun King. Monnoyer, thus, was in the perfect place at the moment of its sumptuous perfection.

In 1690, having been admitted to the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, he went to England, where his masterful work crafting over 50 panels for Montague House, Bloomsbury, London created a vogue for the man and his meticulous work produced with botanical accuracy. He did not merely paint flowers, he made them live. It was a skill only the greatest masters possess… and which Monnoyer possessed in such abundance that he was no longer a painter of flowers, no matter how excellent, but The Master of such painters, the doyen who set the standard by which all others would be judged. Such a master did not ask me to scrutinize this work and do what was necessary to rehabilitate it. He commanded me to do so.

A call to Simon Gillespie, Cleveland Street, London.

When I see a thing of beauty which I might want for my collection, I contact Simon Gillespie, for in the art of conserving pictures, he is as masterful as Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer in creating them. And I know whereof I speak, for over the last 25 years Simon has restored over 30 pictures for me, all of which were badly damaged at acquisition but, because of painstaking, meticulous work, came to live again. For a thing of beauty can only be a joy forever if it is expertly, regularly cared for with the skill and dexterity of which Gillespie is past master. I know the man. I know his work. I would not think of commissioning another to save the imperiled pictures I collect and delight in saving.

This is what he told me about this Monnoyer before I acquired it: “This was once a very beautiful picture by a very good artist. It has probably been in a very hot room at the start of its life where it dried rapidly causing a dramatic set of cracks. I think I should go and have a look when it is up on the wall to determine the viability of resurrecting it.” And so it began… he doing his research, me doing mine.

The online Artcyclopedia provided me with excellent but rather daunting information; the works of Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer are found in the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge; the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg; the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Royal Collection in London. Moreover, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles has acquired 13 — yes 13 — of his paintings and with almost unlimited funds could easily outbid me…. outbid, perhaps, but perhaps not outsmart.

And so, with the perceived distress of this masterpiece working in my favor, I acquired it… happy that what it needed we could provide and at once.

What had to be done.

The picture was brought to Simon’s studio where tests were carried out to remove the various layers of dirt, grime, discolored varnish. and small amounts of over paint which had been applied to minimize some of the cracking but also liberally covered original paint unnecessarily.

The cracks were indeed disfiguring and interrupted the fine detail of the brush strokes of the flowers. The canvas had also been enlarged top and bottom incorporating the old edges of the canvas, presumably to fit an old frame or match a series of other paintings. Each of these problems — and several others –had to be solved, not merely finessed. And as you can see from the merest glance above, each and every one of them was solved…

All this having been accomplished, Simon wrote this to me: “The resulting work of art is a very refined piece of painting from a famous artist who knew how to achieve a great painting. I am always proud to see that after years of bad experience a picture can undergo such a good transformation. Looking at the painting now, you would never know that it had taken this recent journey.”

Indeed not, and that is why Simon Gillespie is the master craftsman he is, and why I deem it not merely a practical necessity but an honor to enage him and his talented staff.

Here, in Cambridge, to cheer and remind me.

Now this masterpiece hangs in my inter sanctum, the place where I think, write, and think some more; the place where I am writing you now. It is a special place… a place devoted to making the world a better place… an exacting task in which my two Monnoyers assist. For both fell upon hard times and were rescued… and if two can be rescued, why not three, three hundred, and more?

All it takes is starting with a single step, for as 20th century poet Wallace Stevens wrote after discovering Monnoyer, flowers assuage “all sorts of misfortune”. Thus we must do everything we can to ensure they have the chance to perform their comforting work, suffusing our often difficult lives with brilliant color, light, hope… and the vision and craft of masters like Monnoyer, Couperin, and Gillespie.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. I am, have been, and always will be a book man; a man, that is, whose life has been enriched in every way by books. These books have been my joy, my obsession, always the source of bliss. And no wonder. For in my own special corner with book in hand and my imagination, I have learned something of the utmost significance. Books can take you anywhere. With them you can be anyone... achieve anything... experience everything. ... This is what a book can do and what books for the last 65 years have done for me.

Books... the necessary and irreplaceable tools for education... boon companions and dearest friends for life, the solace of our older age, and where we look to assuage our grief when a loved one passes. Books offer us everything... for books are about everything... about everyone... about everywhere.

The only drawback to books... is that there are so many, so brilliant, so moving, so epochal, so packed with fact and incident that we time-challenged humans don't have even a tiny fraction of the hours we need to know them, read them, think on them, and use them to improve the person we are and wish always to ameliorate. Books are always present, reminding us with their full assistance, how much better we can be... if only we open the cover and allow the words and pages that follow to take us to the superior place that is theirs to give to each of us.

Had we but world enough and time (Andrew Marvell, 1681)...

... but you see, that is the eternal challenge, for we do not... and this, then, becomes the particular puzzle of all our lives. How to know of, find, and find the time to read what must be read... the greatest books by our greatest masters; for as one grows older and older still, one discovers that time is too short to read anything else. That is why when people do me the honor to ask what books have influenced me, I am ever ready with the contents of my library to advise them. And so I take this opportunity to tell you about "The Leopard", a masterpiece that was in 1957 so despised by Italian publishers that some said it would never be printed, was not worth printing... thereby breaking the heart of its author, Prince Di Lampedusa whose manners were so refined that he did not excoriate and rebuke the purblind publishers who thereby missed a work of high genius. It is this great book by an undoubted master that I tell you about this day.

But before I tell this tale, I wish to commend to you the incidental music to accompany this piece. It is the "valzerone e quadriglia" by that composer of cinematic magic, Nino Rota (1911-1979). Go now to any search engine and play it at once, for if "The Leopard" could possibly be improved upon, it would be by Rota and his mesmeric dance rhythms. A novel about the Italy you know nothing about.

http://youtu.be/s6-0kgAMoh4

You cannot understand this book unless you know that its author was a bona fide principe, prince of ancient lineage and generations of hubris, condescension and perfect manners. He would not have liked you... why should he?... but you'd never know how exquisite his insults until long after he'd made his graceful exit from your unwanted company, the mark of a true aristocrat, a nonpareil who kills but never maims -- unless he intends to.

But, and this too is crucial to understanding this book, this principe was not a prince of Italy, but a prince from Palermo, in Sicily, an island which had been since ships could sail the highly desirable target of one monarch after another, Dei gratia all.

As a result, there was a plenitude of titles on Sicily; grandiose, exalted, the residue of one temporary regime after another. Every noble knew how every title in the kingdom had been procured, by blood, valor... bedroom services or outright purchase. Thus the same title could mean wildly different things, of one order going up, while another was descending. Every nobleman and most especially his milady knew every nuance and secret. And so reputations wilted and died, scandals commenced and scandals reported behind delicate fans which at once enabled them to show their artistry and delicate wrists to best advantage while obscuring expressions which might well reveal too much.

This was a world the prince of Lampedusa knew well, every flutter of a fan, every patent of nobility finagled, every tittle of gossip, enjoyed, examined, twisted to best advantage. This is the arcane world, now as distant as the moon, that his excellency brought to life in "The Leopard".

"Nothing much happens. They just talk."

In doing my research for this article, I came across the line above, sentiments posted online by a reader puzzled by this book. This is understandable, for unlike our action packed books and films, "The Leopard" moves at a very different pace... the pace of real life in the 1860s when the old verities of Sicilian life were giving way before the insistent realities of Italian unification.

You see, the unified Italy you know and which you may assume has existed for centuries is in fact a new reality. Since the fall of the Roman Empire, Italy had been broken up into smaller states. And these states spent their time intriguing against each other, gaining an acre here, losing a city there. It gave generations of princes and their privy counselors something to do during the delicious days of la dolce far niente. It was this ancient system that the princes reigning in Turin, the House of Savoy, were determined to end... reigning instead over one nation, their patrimony.

It is towards the end of this opera-bouffe revolution that Lampedusa begins his tale, a tale based on the life of his paternal great-grandfather, a grandee of Sicily who saw everything changing, changing, changing to the detriment of the beautiful life he loved but could no longer afford.

And so "The Leopard", Prince Fabrizio Salina, finds himself doing something he abhors but knows is absolutely necessary... allowing his beloved nephew, Prince Tancredi Falcorieri, to marry beneath himself... to the most attractive young lady of the district, Angelica Sedara, who is socially ambitious, endlessly calculating... and rich.

Thus while they live, think, intrigue, eat, dance and make love, the House of Savoy changes everything for everyone... Thus is the reader rebuked who thinks that nothing is happening, for in fact an entire world and everyone, everything in it changes forever right before your eyes...

... a riveting story told in language so beautiful, so poignant, so epigrammatic and apt one is forced to reread line after line so as not to miss a single limpid word. It is for this that "The Leopard" is a work of genius and the prince of Lampedusa occupies at last his just place in the literary pantheon.

April, 1993.

I read "The Leopard" in the spring of 1993; I know because I entered the date on the title page. I've been reading it again lately, and will come back again, perhaps only to read a page, or even a single paragraph, before my life is over. Classics are like that... drawing us back, insinuating themselves into our lives in ways lesser creations cannot hope to duplicate.

Now, therefore, go to any search engine, find Nino Rota's valzerone written for Visconti's 1963 grand film recreation of the leopard's doomed world, open the book, turn the music on and commence reading from the first line,

"Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen. The daily recital of the Rosary was over..." but your pleasure has just begun.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

I've been a published writer and author for six decades now. I've got 18 books and thousands of articles under my belt. As a result people are constantly asking me the "secrets" of writing that resonates, captures readers and gets your message delivered. Alright, you've asked me quite enough... I'm ready to spill the beans...

Power writing Solution #1: Recite what you write.

When was the last time you needed to write something with real impact? Something that made your point, hammered it home, and did so in the most clear lucid way?

The correct answer is that the "last time" you did it was probably today, what with all the letters, advertisements, posters, reports, etc. you've got to write in your business.

Is this how you approached the task?

1) Bad attitude. You hate writing, or at least your're doing a mighty good imitation of someone who does. Thus, you grumpily sit down at your computer, hold your nose, and resolve to race through this unwelcome task in record time.

2) The writing you produce under this "system" is just about as bad as bad writing can be. As a result it's wordy, misspelled, redundant, diffuse... and that';s just for openers.

3) Yuck! When you see what you've got, you gulp. It's terrible, but fortunately not so terrible that other terrible writers and readers will ever notice. Declining standards shroud any number of problems...

Then take a good look in the mirror. Remember when you were young, idealistic in college, and that smarty-pants professor said you were either part of the problem... or part of the solution. Now you finally know what he meant: you can either keep producing the writing that has brought you so little fame and fortune... or you can apply Solution #1 to the problem.

To excite, recite.

When was the last time you wrote something, then read it aloud to yourself to see how it sounded and maybe to tweak it?

Answer? Well, let's just put it this way, shall we? When was the last time you read anything you'd written aloud? Wasn't it that time in Third Grade where you been forced by Mrs. Noroski, the personification of evil, to read a poem she coerced you to write in the first place? Thus, reciting takes its place just before having a root canal. And nothing's going to change your mind, so there.

Methinks the lady (and the gent, too) doth protest too much.

Now hear this: you begged me for my secrets to power writing... and here's one of the two most important. You're just going to have move on, relegating that fiasco that constituted your one and only poetry reading to the recycle bin where it will surely find the oblivion which it so dearly merits.

The absolute necessity to read your prose... if you care that it gets read.

It's time for brutal honesty. You write to be read, to influence, to motivate readers to take action. Reading aloud, reciting, helps you achieve this objective... and you'll do it (stinker though it may be) because recitation means results... and improving results is what it takes to excel and prosper in our strenuous culture.

First, BIG relief item. There's an audience of just one to these academy award winning performances: you! And unless you're the culprit, no one need ever know that you do this whenever you want the best possible content and the best possible content presentation.

Here's what needs to be in your kit for this project: a printer, marking pens, and a surface on which to spread this masterpiece in process. Now add gumption and you're ready to go...

You're looking for errors. Here are some places you'll find them:

1) Line length. Good writers, that is to say persuasive writers know that less is more. Thus, the longer the sentence, the more likely the reader misses the point, and this will never do. If you find yourself taking another breath to get through the sentence in question, that sentence is too long. The optimum line length is 10-15 words, and you must cut sharply as a result... and so keep your readers.

2) Do the same severe pruning with your paragraphs. Short paragraphs are the best paragraphs; they should run from 6 to 8 lines.

3) Start as many sentences as possible with "you" (explicit or implicit). Whatever you write is written for just one person -- the "you" who is your present reader. That person must have your complete and total focus, because if that "you" stops reading, it doesn't matter what your message is, this all-important person isn't going to do anything about it.

4) Use action verbs. Here's the drill you want every reader to follow: your prose calls for action... your prose gets the reader to act. But this only happens when you take a machete to your passive verbs. They are torpid... impenetrable... movement killers. Just the way they should be and remain forever -- that is if you want your prose cited in the "Guinness Book of Records" under the category "execrable".

5) Make war on all purple passages. These you can easily spot when reading for, when uttering them you automatically start talking like the divine Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), which means in the sententious idiom of late 19th century France!

Your language should be clean, simple, efficient -- you know, the way it isn't now.

Solution # 2. Rewrite.

Wow, after scrutinizing your latest effusion per Solution #1, you're surrounded by items that have been ruthlessly removed. What now? Simple; my next sure-fire writing insight, viz. that the most effective writers are the most conscientious rewriters. In other words, the ones who do not merely spew words on the page, but who do what's necessary for maximum impact. This means you.

And so today, at first light, take your latest writing project and go out into the pristine dew of day to recite it. Sure your neighbors will deduce that you have finally gone mad... but the many new prospects and customers you'll derive will leave them happy... leave you a paragon of prose... and richer.; oh, yes, a very great deal richer.

Dr Jeffery Lant

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. Today is a very special day in my life, and I want to share it with you, my reader. Today is the day I reach my goal of publishing 500 articles in my current series of commentaries. Thus I have become, literally at the stroke of a pen, a man read by millions worldwide. And that produces a feeling of excitement, enthusiasm, euphoria. Personal happiness fuels the entire enterprise.

At least four times each week since September 18, 2010, I have faced the daunting blank page, aiming to transform that white space into words of magic! Timely significance! Perfect accuracy! Words that stop you in your tracks to read and consider... and then keep, selecting them as guides for the betterment of your life. And I have done all this at record speed... thereby proving yet again that being a senior citizen is a state of mind, not a date on the calendar or some particular disfigurerment or debilitating condition or daily diminishment.

And so for this article of achievement, commendation and insight, I have selected the stirring march by Sir William Walton (whose life and sound were profiled in this series). It's called "Crown Imperial" (1937). And most every day I play it online to herald my first appearance of the day, at a time that could be anywhere and everywhere on clocks truly challenged to keep up with me, a very mobile target.

http://youtu.be/7WMrQe87gRk

Go now to any search engine and play this effusion of stateliness... and now imagine my advent embellished with these words:

Arriba! Arriba! Arriba! El Imperator! The Master of the Lyric Words...

These stirring words, which arrest the attention of all, causing a sea of viewers worldwide to stop! Read! Consider... and so be captivated. Such an entrance never loses its captivating power and arching thrill for the man.... me!... who is so announced.

Written on the screen.

I write each commentary live, on the screen of the Worldprofit Live Business Center at worldprofit.com. Each day, therefore, becomes not just a writing opportunity for me... but a writing class for all observers worldwide. Thus, without paying a single penny people everywhere get this unique class and all its pragmatic and entrancing writing skills free! You, too, can join us there on any morning and so, at once, find yourself a sentient part of an educational experience which no other writer makes available, much less available for free! And so as paragraph by paragraph emerges from my brain, it is instantly posted on the screen thereby showing the enraptured audience how to write to be read, to be persuasive, to be memorable, to be lyric.

But such mighty outcomes are never the sole result of my efforts, no matter how consequential and important those might be. The result is rather the effort of the Worldprofit Writing Team, good people and true who esteem it their honor and pleasure (though, in truth, they are mine) by racing to find items prosaic and exact, such as correct spelling, accurate dates, quotations not misquoted and views not misstated. In short they constitute the most magnificent support team ever assembled, one which may, in fact, be unique and is certainly peerless and beyond mere praise.

The outlook that informs each commentary.

It is my firm belief that our great age of quick information (as epitomized by the Internet) is the even greater age of misinformation; information, data, statistics et al flow without relief... but necessary accuracy is often a casualty, both by design and by accident. Valuable commentators exist to correct matters, state such matters accurately and without personal agenda, whether hidden or otherwise. Commentators, therefore, exist for one reason only, to make true, detailed, honest reflections about any topic they write about.

The motto of each commentator must be the same as Harvard University, my alma mater -- "veritas" -- truth. For insomuch as truth has been a major casualty in our e-days, so must we work all the harder to ensure that its high standards are still rendered and revered, not sacrificed to accommodate views selfish, limited, and inaccurate.

Thus each and every day as I work, I remind myself that my work, like the work of any commentator, is valuable only insofar as it is based on and disseminates truth; for truth is our true master and must always remain so.

What I write about.

Once it is clear that truth is and must be the reason for writing commentary, it is crucial that you establish your subject field... or, in my ambitious and demanding case, subject fields. For my "beat" is mankind in all his works, magnificent, inspiring, degrading, deleterious, and all the rest. In short it is as broad as the epoch of mankind on Planet Earth and all his works. Thus you are as likely to find in my articles true and provocative commentary on specific animal groups moving towards unalterable extinction... to the matter of why humans bully each other and what we can do about it... to the succulent and minutely remembered pies baked by grandma... to agendas apt or wrong-headed advanced by every political party and its representatives, eminent or as yet unknown.

No subject, no matter where manifesting itself on Earth, is too limited... or so important... that it cannot be dealt with here. And as I am no idle, uncritical respecter of persons or long-established institutions and traditions -- the views I promote will always be my own, that is to say the result of long years of looking at every manner of person and event, and drawing my own conclusions... and so stating matters that you will draw your own, too; for my commentaries are never about dictating opinion, but always about informing it.

Astonishing results, millions of readers.

When I started this project, I little foresaw just how rapidly it would grow or how important it would be. But I know better now. People -- and I mean every sort and condition of people -- have done me the signal honor not merely to access and read my wide constellation of thoughts, but to laud, extol, and praise... and, yes, to offer me the benefit of their own opinions, too, which I always urge them to share...whatever those opinions might be. For maintaining sustained, interactive relationships with the world and his wife has always been my clear objective.

The future.

Aging daily, man's fate, it might be thought that I might on this occasion or shortly so announce the curtailment or even termination of my exigent work. But that will never happen. For as long as I have something useful to say to people needing to hear it (if not always welcoming) I shall continue, and gladly. It is what I was born to do, my fate, and I embrace it with the greatest possible enthusiasm.

Besides, with every commentary I write, I empower the thousands of blog publishers set up by worldprofit.com and made potent and worth attending by me. And nothing makes me happier than to know that my work, all my work, can be used by you, as it is used and published by people just like you everywhere on Earth.

Thus, I give you great Browning's great words, so beloved of my mother, now so beloved of me:

Grow old with me. The best is yet to be! The last of life for which the first was made.

Thus, if today is a memorable day, let us consider it as just the first of many such days to come... for that I shall surely achieve... if you, all of you, continue to support and sustain me in the work I consider the most important of my life; work which you have told me so often is so important in the fulfillment of yours.

'Berries are nice'. The lush ripeness of strawberries and their sweet red allure.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. This is a story about a fruit so rich that once you start thinking about it you cannot rest until you are eating some... popping them into your mouth as fast as you can, crushing them... letting the richness of its sweet, sweet juice drip down your chin... glad to have all you can eat... joyfully careless about what you waste... for there will always be strawberries enough for you... you are absolutely sure of that!

But as Deana Carter knows, the lush abundance of strawberries is not unlimited... and so she twangs her tale of high summer, desire, a taste so sweet it maddens you and never satiates... producing a wine you can never get enough of... a strawberry wine... a wine that you can never forget... though sometimes you wish you'd never come to know.

And so, I have selected for today's occasional music "Strawberry Wine" by Matraca Berg and Gary Harrison, released in August, 1996. Nashville record companies found the song overly long, controversial, and not memorable enough. But when Carter sang her heart out about the summer, the boy... the strawberries and their wine... the record won Song of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. Go now to any search engine and listen to it. You'll find yourself remembering... you'll find yourself craving... you'll want their taste again... the berries always see to that.... for they are an imperious fruit.

http://youtu.be/Up06CryWQpE

Her Majesty's strawberry. On a picture perfect summer day one August I was in Scotland, in the Highlands, at Balmoral... a country castle conceived by Prince Albert, the beautiful German prince loved obsessively by Queen Victoria. For an American used to the White House with its layer after layer of security, Balmoral comes as a rather unnerving shock. "Security" consisted of a single guard, unobtrusive, reading a newspaper. There might be, there must be more... but that's all I ever saw. He barely looked at us.. smiled... and waved. Thus does Her Britannic Majesty tell you she is beloved of the people and doesn't need a legion of centurions to protect her... unlike the president of the Great Republic who always needs more... and more.

And so in due course, my friend and I found ourselves in the magnificent park, expansive, serene, as lovely a place as Earth provides. And in the park I found a kitchen garden... the Queen's garden... and in this garden I saw a strawberry, huge, perfectly ripe, ready to be eaten. And so I reached down to pluck it and enjoy... whereupon I felt a strong hand pulling me up and heard my friend's voice, no longer amiable, but commanding, imperative, stentorian: "Do not touch that strawberry.... that is the Queen's berry!" And I realized what being a subject of the Windsors meant, whilst I was the child of revolution and lese majeste/. And so the uneaten berry remained... for the delectation of the Queen.

Even dukes get only leaves.

I was crushed but as my friend was driving I had to give way, and gracefully, too -- or else.

Then I had a thought that cheered me up. Even the grandest members of the nobility couldn't eat of the Royal fruit with impunity. They had to make do with the strawberries' leaves. And no, I am not making this up. A duke's coronet proves my point. When a man becomes a duke (and there are only 24 such people in the entire realm of Great Britain) he is entitled to a silver-gilt circlet called a coronet. It features eight strawberry leaves -- not one more and never a single one less. Thus does the sovereign elevate ambitious members of the aristocracy... and keep her strawberries for herself.

Other gentlemen of high rank and title are also entitled to strawberry leaves on their coronets. And here there is a most curious conundrum: marquesses who rank just below dukes in the peerage of the realm are entitled to four strawberry leaves... but earls, who rank below marquesses, get eight. What can this mean? For peers, as you may imagine, are protocol mad... and scrutinize their inferiors for any indication that they are claiming rank and privilege to which they are not strictly entitled. You can be sure there's some fiddle going on here... but if the marquesses are in a pet of high indignation, they have but to look far down at the viscounts and barons who have not a single strawberry leaf between them... and that's just the way these marquesses mean to keep it -- "Honi soit qui mal y pense.". Strawberry leaves mean strawberry tea.

Fortunately, there is more you can do with your strawberry leaves than wait for the Queen to make you a duke. That, after all, could be a long time coming since the last non-royal duke was his grace of Westminster, in 1874. It's true that her present majesty when a young woman offered to make Sir Winston Churchill duke of London... but he declined and there the matter rests, perhaps forever.

And you'll agree, this situation could be more than irritating for those who every morning see in their looking glasses, not milord this or the right honorable that but... His Grace the Duke of... resplendent in ermine and strawberry leaves.

These men, well bred for hundreds of years, offer the correct aquiline features, the correct pedigree, with generations of the right fathers and acquiescing mothers, masters of every arcane procedure, the right words and impeccable cravat, these men I tell you are smoldering with rage, aggravation, frustration, worthies all marooned in the wrong time. For them, each of them only the calming propensities of strawberry leaf tea will do... poured in a fragile cup of Minton, delivered by Nannie who always knows just what to do. "Have some more sugar, ducks. There, there, it'll be all right."

And so does Nanny, who loves you best, goes out with wicker basket on her arm, to the places she knows well, where the fresh wild strawberries grow or the sweet woodland berries. Take 1 tablespoon of dried rose petals, 1/2 teaspoon of yarrow, 1 teaspoon of strawberry leaves, a pinch of mint or blackberry leaves. Add 1 cup of boiling water and allow to steep. Choler cannot long exist in the presence of such determined coziness.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886).

It was perhaps in pursuit of these ingredients that Emily Dickinson, mistress of opaque language, stepped out, "Over the fence" ...

"Over the fence -- Strawberries -- grow -- Over the fence -- I could climb -- if I tried, I know -- Berries are nice. But -- if I strained my Apron -- God, would certainly scold! Oh, dear, --- I guess if He were a Boy -- he'd -- climb -- if He could!"

So, let's leave it like that, for as Deana Carter sang, "It's funny how those memories they last. Like strawberry wine... (when) The hot July moon saw everything" and the strawberries were there, bright and beckoning, just over the fence.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. If you're like me, the first time you heard this bouncy tune, you laughed... then laughed some more. It's called the "Too fat polka", with its immediately recognizable opening, "You can have her, I don't want her, she's too fat for me."

It came from the mind of Arthur Godfrey, a nationally known personality from television's earliest days. Go now to any search engine to find and play it. You will probably laugh, too... until, that is, you really perceive the meaning of the words. Then if you have brain and heart, you'll have the necessary pause that precedes recognition of what you have been doing... and why you can do it no longer.

Godfrey, you see, was a bully; he evinced his tendencies openly and on national television, most famously the day he canned singer Julius La Rosa on air... not merely removing La Rosa but humiliating him... something that's cat nip to a bully who lives to torment others, in ways both vulgar and exquisite.

And thus we came to see this not as a cute little ditty, but a tune designed to hurt good people and kind struggling with fat and needing support not insult. And so as Godfrey's hurtful tendencies and disposition became known, as we grew appalled, not amused; his fame was tarnished and his high star waned. In such ways do we make progress, one person at a time. But this is often too little too late, especially in our wired age where in an instant a vicious sentiment and attack will be universal, thereby magnifying its impact and pain.

The Internet changes everything.

In the first days of the Internet, it was said with pride by the early netizens that "the Internet changes everything." We had little idea of just how right we were... and how the instant availability of information, easily accessed, easily transmitted, would radically alter the world and human interaction. Nowhere was this more true than in the matter of bullying... both for those doing the bullying and for the people being bullied. The Internet fostered a climate of anonymous insult and malice, a place where, so it was thought, one could with impunity say anything about anyone... garden-variety bullies morphing (with a few keystrokes) into super-bullies, pain, retribution, cosmic comeuppance theirs to summon and command -- without care, concern, accountability, responsibility. And so the greatest age in the history of bullying began and prospered.

Understanding bullies.

This is an article with the particular object of understanding school yard bullies, the better to take effective action for their diminishment and eradication. Bullies have existed in every culture and society since the beginning of human history. Bullies have been tolerated, condoned, even encouraged because they represent the prevailing power structure and elites and mirror their attitudes.

Bullies rarely are the representatives of the poor, the dispossessed, the politically isolated, the misunderstood and "different"... although bullies' usual victims ordinarily are found in these categories. In other words, bullies get away with their anti-social behaviors because they are representatives of prevailing prejudices, hatreds, fears, and anxieties. Scratch a bully, and you will find an entire network of people (often including his parents) who not only do not condemn such activities, but consciously or unconsciously assist in their realization and defense. As such bullying goes well beyond one bully and one victim to being instead one cultural tradition attempting to contain, control, intimidate and even destroy another culture and its "unacceptable" views.

As such the problem of bullies quickly becomes a problem about the cultural wars which so distinguish our times. These wars, like all wars, are brutal, inhumane, boundless in their cruelties and, worst of all, in their point of view which is that they epitomize good; their opponents the very principle of evil amongst us. It is with this background in mind that we take up the labor of understanding, identifying, curtailing, controlling and (for we must keep this high goal before us) eliminating bullying. And so we go to Ground Zero, the schools of the Great Republic, where the internecine cultural wars are fought every day, every single day.

The extent of the problem. Thanks to the sustained work of organizations like how-to-stop-bullying.com we now have, for the first time, hard statistics on such matters as who bullies, who is bullied, why, how, how often, etc. The advent of such data indicates that progress is being made in understanding and effectively confronting and handling this matter. Remember, bullying has always existed... but because it was not regarded as a "problem", much less a problem that school personnel must deal with, no progress towards the ultimate goal of eradication was made or could be made. These are the early days of a reversal of this invidious, ostrich-head-in-the-sand "policy" which has endured for centuries, where bullying was anecdotal, insignificant, never regarded, never mattered, never solved.

Thankfully our way, indeed our entire approach to this subject, is increasingly different from what has unacceptably gone before. Pro-active, we see the seeds not merely of significant but of pervasive, fundamental, beneficial change. Yes, things are changing, though these are but its early days.

What you can do.

Obviously, this is a problem of most immediate relevance to affected students, their parents, and their schools. This is where the bullying war, in all its aspects, is fought daily.

Parents must be aware that bullying is a daily feature in most schools.

They must therefore maintain open and productive conversations with children to discern what may be happening... and with school authorities who should be glad for your active concern and willingness to help.

Parents should ask school committees and other responsible educational officers just what they are doing both to preclude the problem and handle individual instances once they arise.

In this way, school by school, principal by principal, teacher by teacher, parent by parent, student by student progress must, can and will be made, for one thing is certain: if we as a people, with our full panoply of resources intellectual and organizational, confront this problem with a will, progress will be made and the schools of the Great Republic cleansed of an outrage swept under the rug by nations and peoples before us who were less committed to students and schools than we are. This will not, cannot, be the work of a single school or single term, and we must be so prepared. But it is important work, empowering legions of afflicted students who can now grow to full potential, enriching and enhancing the Great Republic which is sore in need of their skills and services, many and timely.

Bullies have existed in every culture and society since the beginning of human history. Bullies have been tolerated, condoned, even encouraged because they represent the prevailing power structure and elites and mirror their attitudes.

Bullies rarely are the representatives of the poor, the dispossessed, the politically isolated, the misunderstood and "different"... although bullies' usual victims ordinarily are found in these categories. In other words, bullies get away with their anti-social behaviors because they are representatives of prevailing prejudices, hatreds, fears, and anxieties. Scratch a bully, and you will find an entire network of people (often including his parents) who not only do not condemn such activities, but consciously or unconsciously assist in their realization and defense. As such bullying goes well beyond one bully and one victim to being instead one cultural tradition attempting to contain, control, intimidate and even destroy another culture and its "unacceptable" views.

As such the problem of bullies quickly becomes a problem about the cultural wars which so distinguish our times. These wars, like all wars, are brutal, inhumane, boundless in their cruelties and, worst of all, in their point of view which is that they epitomize good; their opponents the very principle of evil amongst us. It is with this background in mind that we take up the labor of understanding, identifying, curtailing, controlling and (for we must keep this high goal before us) eliminating bullying. And so we go to Ground Zero, the schools of the Great Republic, where the internecine cultural wars are fought every day, every single day.

The extent of the problem. Thanks to the sustained work of organizations like how-to-stop-bullying.com we now have, for the first time, hard statistics on such matters as who bullies, who is bullied, why, how, how often, etc. The advent of such data indicates that progress is being made in understanding and effectively confronting and handling this matter. Remember, bullying has always existed... but because it was not regarded as a "problem", much less a problem that school personnel must deal with, no progress towards the ultimate goal of eradication was made or could be made. These are the early days of a reversal of this invidious, ostrich-head-in-the-sand "policy" which has endured for centuries, where bullying was anecdotal, insignificant, never regarded, never mattered, never solved.

Thankfully our way, indeed our entire approach to this subject, is increasingly different from what has unacceptably gone before. Pro-active, we see the seeds not merely of significant but of pervasive, fundamental, beneficial change. Yes, things are changing, though these are but its early days.

What you can do.

Obviously, this is a problem of most immediate relevance to affected students, their parents, and their schools. This is where the bullying war, in all its aspects, is fought daily.

Parents must be aware that bullying is a daily feature in most schools.

They must therefore maintain open and productive conversations with children to discern what may be happening... and with school authorities who should be glad for your active concern and willingness to help.

Parents should ask school committees and other responsible educational officers just what they are doing both to preclude the problem and handle individual instances once they arise.

In this way, school by school, principal by principal, teacher by teacher, parent by parent, student by student progress must, can and will be made, for one thing is certain: if we as a people, with our full panoply of resources intellectual and organizational, confront this problem with a will, progress will be made and the schools of the Great Republic cleansed of an outrage swept under the rug by nations and peoples before us who were less committed to students and schools than we are. This will not, cannot, be the work of a single school or single term, and we must be so prepared. But it is important work, empowering legions of afflicted students who can now grow to full potential, enriching and enhancing the Great Republic which is sore in need of their skills and services, many and timely.

The best marketing training on Earth -- and, astonishingly, it's free. The Worldprofit Junior Monitor program.. . now available to you. A very special letter from Worldprofit's three Co-Founders, Chief Technical Officer George Kosch; President and Director of Website Development Sandi Hunter, and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Jeffrey Lant.
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Friend, you are about to receive an invitation to join the most exciting marketing program on this planet, a unique program you have never seen before for the simple reason that it is available only from Worldprofit at worldprofit.com.

We are talking about the Worldprofit Monitor Program.

You have already been the beneficiary of this program, for you've seen the Monitors at work in the Live Business Center and no doubt received their attention and assistance at the time you acquired your Silver Package and became a Member. (If you do not have a Silver Package yet, log in at worldprofit.com and ask the Monitor on duty to assist you.)

You may have wondered about who these Monitors are... and how they came to be present in the video boxes you see on screen. Not merely present, but (at any hour of the day or night) friendly, pleasant, helpful, anxious to assist you and resoundingly able to do so.

At that moment you may have wondered how YOU could join the ranks of these good people... and so we're here to let you know.

A bit of history.

In 2006, master inventor George Kosch did what he does so well and with such astonishing celerity... he created the device we now call the Live Business Center, a place where entrepreneurs (particularly of the home-based variety) could gather to receive all the help they needed to profit online.

Once the software was created, it was time to staff it with people we call Monitors, that is people who are Members of the Worldprofit Community and who generously give of their time, expertise, and, yes, kindness to assist you profit online... something you, like most people on the 'net, have been trying to do but without knowing how or with any success whatsoever.

Meet the first Monitor and Director of the Monitor Program, Dr. Jeffrey Lant.

Known to millions worldwide because of his 18 business books, thousands of practical articles and daily appearances online and off, Harvard-educated Dr. Lant was the obvious choice to head the brand-new Monitor Program in 2006. A trained educator who used to teach at Harvard (from which he holds two degrees), he was at once a magnetic instructor with an often electrifying delivery... and an experienced marketer who knows what it takes to get the business results you desire.



And so in December, 2006, Dr. Lant presented himself in the Live Business Center as Worldprofit's first -- and only -- Monitor, starting the process that has produced a full complement of the best and most generous marketers on Earth... and is now ready to welcome... YOU.

Unbeatable benefits.

The benefits of serving the Worldprofit Community as a Monitor are many and varied, tangible and intangible... but always substantial.

First, learning from the best how to become a qualified Internet marketer. Are you at the point in your online career when you understand that you cannot master the Internet alone and do not have the necessary marketing skills and expertise to succeed? If so, you're ready for the best and most thorough marketing training anywhere.

Our program is based on the Master-Apprentice model, whereby you are literally taken in hand and learn precisely what to do to make sale after sale. What's so tremendous about our program of proven success is that it's 100% reality based. It's the kind of training business schools should have to teach real-world marketing and salesmanship... but never do. That's why we say that our renowned and always practical training is superior to the instruction you find in traditional business classes.

Now hear this: even if you have never had any sales and marketing experience or success, that doesn't matter... you start from the beginning and learn accordingly; this, therefore, is marketing and sales training you can use at once... and use forever.

This unexampled training is given by Dr. Lant and by the Senior Monitors 24/7/365. If a Senior Monitor is serving alone and has an available video box, you may ask to come up for training at ANY hour of the day. When you do Senior Monitors will give you the benefit of their considerable, seasoned experience and erudition.

Immediate Benefits.

In short order, you'll be ready to take the helm as a Senior Monitor yourself, a proud member of our unique team. As such you will be the "captain" of the ship during your scheduled service, as little as two hours per week; more if you like.

During the time you are Senior Monitor all associates who enter without sponsors are automatically assigned to your account; this can number 5, 10 or more associates assigned to you per shift. In addition you receive thousands of valuable safe list profit credits for sales made during your shift. These benefits are deposited at once in your account and may be used to promote whatever you like. Tremendous!

Service to the Worldprofit Community.

In addition to the very tangible benefits you gather in each shift, you also benefit from the joy and honor of helping people worldwide get the assistance they require for online success, success they have long desired but have never had before. You will feel proud of this work, a service unique to our great Community and its Monitors, for you are truly making the world a better place and improving lives with every contact.

To get started.

You will need a webcam and headset, which you can easily purchase at Wal-Mart, Target, Radio Shack, etc for about $20.

Don't wait a single minute to start your training and so become an experienced marketer, with the awesome benefits that come to such Masters. Act now. Space in the Monitor Program is always limited... after reading this you understand why. That's why you must contact Dr. Lant now and begin the best marketing and sales training on Earth, becoming a valued Member of our superb Monitor Team.

U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. There's a whole lot of lamenting going on in Washington, D.C. It goes like this: once upon a time the Congress of the Great Republic was a genteel place where ladies and gentlemen put on their white gloves and best manners, taking tea while cozily arranging America's affairs... thence home to a Dickens novel and well-earned slumber. The problem is that such a time never existed in the Congress of these factious United States. It's the merest myth... for all that the poor lads and lassies who represent us yearn for such a place, such a time, and such amiable, thoughtful, sympathetic colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

And so, these folks give way to frequent tears and even more frequent sighs and vapors... with lamentations loud, frequent, poignant, heart-rending -- and silly.

The most recent to give way to this "feel sorry for me" rubbish is the lady from Maine, senior Republican Senator Olympia Snowe. On February 28, 2012 the Honorable Olympia announced her inability to stomach the poisonous, internecine, downright nasty senatorial environment for another term. And so, lamenting, petulant, self-pitying, she said "basta!"... and started packing her valises with the accumulated treasures and heirlooms -- not to mention the pensions and emoluments -- of over 33 years in Congress. These will be substantial indeed.

As for me, I cannot find a single tear for the lady, rather the reverse. She says she was armed for another campaign, had money aplenty to fight the good fight... but she clearly lacked the stomach for so much closeness to her feisty and outspoken Mainers. Senators are revered, coddled, kowtowed to in Washington, D.C. Back home amidst the problems and bleakness of Portland, they are asked, insistently too, just what have you done for us lately, Missie... and you'd better have a detailed answer at the ready. Demigods like Senator Olympia find such directness rude, and long for fragrant camomile in a fragile cup of Old Worcester while aides fan her with cooling air.... unlimited incense... and deference to every word and wish.

Ms. Olympia says she's a Greek from Spartan stock... and while that might have been true 30 years ago in her elected salad days, it is most assuredly true no longer. She's gone Athenian, and now demands reverence, not the stark choice of returning with her shield -- or on it. And so she must retire... because she is no longer able to fight the good fight for Maine, for Mainers, and for the Great Republic which needs visionaries, fighters, not aging voluptuaries who crave comfort, not confrontation.

Enter Congressman John Sullivan (R-Oklahoma).

February 22, 2012 Representative Sullivan made a few red-blooded observations during one of his regular "town hall" meetings with constituents. The subject was how to get the Senate of the Great Republic to get serious, I mean really serious, about balancing the out-of-control federal budget.

"I'd love to get them /the senators/ to vote for it. Boy, I'd love that, you know. But other than me going over there with a gun and pointing it to their head and maybe killing a couple of them, I don't feel they're going to listen unless they get beat."

Cornered by the ever present Thought Police, Representative Sullivan, that able and forthright member for Tulsa, backed down. He didn't mean it....shouldn't have said it... certainly didn't imagine... and would never, ever do... You get the picture. The Honorable John was tripping over himself, back pedaling to beat the band. But why?

After all, he is far more what we actually want in our elected representatives, even while we say we prefer the Olympia model. No, we want our reps to represent us robustly, directly, rudely, shrewdly, without limits ... because unless they do that our share of the pie -- and the extra bucks we covet -- will go to others more able to bring home the bacon than our shrinking violets... and that will never do.

The great example of Representative Preston Brooks.

In 1856, the great issue of the day was slavery. It was a question which overshadowed all others. It was intractable, divisive, perhaps insoluble... certainly unavoidable. And because moderates could not prevail in resolving the matter, it was left to the zealots on both sides to see what they could do, using whatever means they chose to use.

And so on May 18, 1856 the Honorable Charles Sumner, the Senator from Massachusetts, arose to see what he could do to resolve the irresolvable... his vehicle being his great speech "The Crime Against Kansas" given to ensure that slavery did not encroach into the Kansas Territory and so augment the South and the slave owners he despised.

It was a great speech in every way -- 50 single-spaced pages in length, a detailed analysis of the problem, the most brilliant, vituperative language; language meant to insult, to scald, to enrage, with a position that absolutely no one could misunderstand, whatever side they supported.

Picture the scene. Not a cup of camomile to be seen.

Great Sumner rises sustained by sanctimony, rectitude and rage; each word is sonorous, delivered with venom, designed to sting, outrage, rebuke, condemn, no quarter asked, none given.

And so this man of Harvard, of Boston, of Massachusetts, this man of certainty, no doubt or hesitation rose to challenge the nation and to reshape the Great Republic.

Every eye was on the man, a mere man no longer, but the agent of a stern, implacable God, God the Avenger, majestic, awe-inspiring, I Am that I Am.

"Mr. President," he began, "You are now called to redress a great transgression."

And every word that followed in that vast torrent of words beat home this point.

There was no note of accommodation, no politics as usual, nothing less than total victory would do.

In the course of this great philippic, which ultimately saw one million copies distributed, Senator Sumner attacked Senator Andrew Butler of South Carolina, not just the man or his ideas but his stroke-impaired physique. It was brutal, it was hurtful; it was insulting... and a few days later inspired the Senator's outraged nephew, South Carolina congressman Preston Brooks to enter the Senate Chamber and, with his gutta-percha cane with solid gold knob, beat Sumner insensate, even when Sumner was comatose, lying in his puddling blood.

So did immoderate Sumner make his case...so did immoderate Brooks retaliate.

And so was the Congress of the Great Republic shortly peopled by representatives carrying devices of every kind, guns, knives, and of course the gutta-percha sticks with gold knobs made fashionable -- or abhorrent -- by this incident which moved the Civil War appreciably closer.

That is why, Senator Snowe, your decision to leave is a bad decision. The people of Maine need you.. the Congress needs you... the Great Republic still has great need of your services. No, it is not convenient for you; not least because you must present yourself again to your constituents, and, being Mainers, they will question you closely, for they are no respecters of persons and so may affront you. What of it? You have the Great Republic's work to do. And that is far more important and pressing than your own personal feelings or comfort. They count for nothing against what you can do, must do and cannot abandon now.

Thus I give you this song, "John Brown's Body", a rousing tune which arose from the American camp meeting tradition in the early 19th century and, after many changes of words, became the marching tune for people who understood the implementation of Truth was a long, difficult, often dangerous process. Go now to any search engine and find the rendition you like... and bookmark it, for you will have need of it in the work ahead:

"John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave His soul's marching on."

And so must you, too, Senator Olympia Snowe, for your work for the people is most assuredly not finished yet.

Dedication: The author is pleased to dedicate this work to Joshua Aaron Sumner and Roshelle Elena Sumner, descendants of the magnificent Yankee who alerted the world to "The Crime Against Kansas," children of dear friend, Lance Sumner, fellow Internet argonaut.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. I have the inestimable privilege of training some of the brightest business people on earth... people of wit, intelligence, good humor... and a fierce determination to be successful, climbing the greasy pole, making more money, and living just the way they want. I find this work enthralling, exhilarating... and (I'll admit it) frequently frustrating... as I watch even the best and the brightest muff it.

And so, today, I am writing about the one essential thing these fine folks -- and that now includes YOU -- must do every single minute of every single day that you want more money. For, let's not kid ourselves... if you understand this crucial article and follow its directives... you are going to make more money, lots more, and leave your lackadaisical and languid colleagues in the dust. And won't that be sweet?

To put you in the mood for my insistent message, I have selected a dance number that once made you gyrate and awe... "I Want Your Love" by a group named Chic. It hit the charts in 1978, and it made its point early and often:

"I want your love. I want your love. I want your love. I want your love."

In other words, they kept on message, driving home the point of their endeavors until even the most mentally challenged "got it". As a teacher with a sledgehammer, repetitive delivery, I like that... I like it a lot.

And so to set the stage for what follows, look this tune up in any search engine now and move that overweight, arthritic body; because you're about to recapture your alluring youth... and be the person who got what you wanted, oh yeah!

Painful, so painful.

It happened again yesterday... and it gets me, right in the solar plexus, each and every time I see this fundamental error. The sales person I was training was operating solo. In other words, they had progressed sufficiently far in their instruction to where they get to fly all alone. I am there, of course; I am always there... but I try to remain as silent as the grave and unobtrusive so that I am seeing the student and just the student. And make no mistake about it... this situation (as every parent knows) can make you as nervous and frustrated as all get out.

Lights, camera... think!

Picture the scene. All parties are on the 'net. I am present in my video box, the student is in his... and the "real life" prospect enters... like a bull at a corrida. Everything happens in real time.... and has real world implications, for good... or for ill.

Ok... the student (and, remember, my students are established business people, not wet-behind-the-ears kids) goes into closing mode. This starts by greeting each and every prospect by name; then asking each prospect to watch a 20-minute video packed with the vital data that both excites the prospect and instructs her.

These steps are crucial... and the students know I am a stickler for ensuring that they occur. In other words, make SURE the prospect has the critical facts before any further action can occur.

The prospect is prepped... are you?

"As soon as you've finished the video, return to me for a spectacular one-time-only offer."

These words usher in the next phase of the operation. We make it clear what must be done (watch video) and what is coming thereafter (spectacular offer). So far... so good.

Close but no cigar.

The first mistake the students make is to present the offer before the prospect has been adequately prepped. This is a critical error. Prospects must have the necessary facts... or they end up asking a ton of unnecessary questions; questions which have already been answered -- and in precise, clear detail, too -- in the video.

The video, the whole video, nothing but the video.

As soon as you have confirmed that the prospect has watched the ENTIRE video, proceed to the "Big rock candy mountain," your scintillating offer. It IS scintillating, isn't it? For if it doesn't snap, crackle, and pop you've just thrown away a sale. Sales occur because the offer sizzles, excites, is just too thrilling to decline. You ARE making such an offer, I trust. And if you're not, you'd better make its improvement "Action this day," which is what Winston Churchill did when as Prime Minister of England he demanded instant attention and RESULTS.

And now... the critical moment that turns you into a master... and puts another sale in your pocket: 100% sales.

To remain an average closer, keep doing what you're doing.But to fly high as one of the world's sales masters you must set the desired goal... then do everything possible, everything necessary to achieve it.

That is... 100% sales.

Is this what you do?

Make your objective immediately clear to the prospect: "I want you to get the benefits of this widget... and I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen." Don't just say these words... mean them. Because once the prospect knows you're serious, they can be serious too, working with you for fastest, most complete mutual advantage.

At this moment, the prospect may well start back peddling saying things like this:

"I don't have any money."

"I can't do it today."

"I need to tell the little woman. We're a team."

And so forth. Your job is to thrust these obstacles out of the way and CLOSE THAT DEAL.

To do this, you must remind yourself AT ALL TIMES that you have a 100% closing goal... and that you are going to make this close. If the prospect stalls or blocks you, keep things going by asking for the prospect's undivided attention and for an all- important OPEN mind. Make sure the prospect understands what the offer is.... and if necessary improve it; always making it clear that this offer expires the second the prospect leaves. In other words, there is a premium for staying, working things out, but irrevocable loss if they won't.

Now, gun it.

Keep in mind at all times, with the terrific offer you are making, the prospect will be better off... if... and only if... they take immediate action. It is your job to drive this home NOW... making it abundantly clear that action now is the only sensible course.

Do this, and do it with enthusiasm, gusto, and good humor, and you will not only want that sale... you will get it! For as Chic sang, "a better love you won't find today..." or a better offer either.
