『閣下、どうか嫉妬にはご用心を』
人を死に至らしめるものとは。勇敢な戦士オセローは、保守的な国際都市ヴェニスにおいて、その肌の色から異人として受け入れられていた。数々の武勇がその街での彼の居場所を作っていき、その誉れは褐色の肌の色を問わずヴェニスの民によって認められていたはずだった。
しかしその裏に嫉妬に喘ぐ数々のヴェニスの軍人がいたことも事実。いつの世も地位と名声を誰もが欲し、誰もが自らこそがそれに相応しいと思う。力で上り詰めたオセローにとって、剣や拳や毒が人を殺める武器であったのに対し、イアーゴーが用いた武器はただ、柔らかいハンカチと嫉妬の心であった。この物語が本当に全てイアーゴーによって練られた復讐の筋書き通りだったのだろうか。否、全ての登場人物の心の裏にある欲が織り成す猜疑のレースは、ただその引き金を策士の指が引いただけに過ぎないのではないだろうか。 ・Charles and Mary Lamb's TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE: MACBETH edited by Yu Okubo translated by Yuka Akune

老王リアが欲した"条件"は、目に見え、耳に聞こえるもの。 打算的な娘と描かれる長女・次女は果たして本当に愚かだったのだろうか。 強欲で盲目的な権威への執着がある父王から、その力を削いでいくこと。 それは視点を変えれば次の新しい世代を背負うものの現実的な対応とも捉えることはできまいか。

Four young Americans go from the familiar sights of Milltowne, Pennsylvania, to the jungles of Vietnam and back again. Theirs is the story of what it was like to be young during that turbulent time of Cold War paranoia, political assassinations, the fight for civil rights, counter-culture hippies, the sexual revolution, women’s liberation, military conscription, televised war, massive anti-war protests, and of course sex and drugs and the greatest rock ‘n’ roll.

In a luckier universe, in which the Kennedys were not assassinated and the Vietnam War ended before it began, we find President Richard Nixon and Dr. Timothy Leary, the escaped convict Nixon calls “the most dangerous man in the world” for turning America’s youth into no-good hippies. Nixon is the same profane, venal S-O-B that made him such a hit in our universe, but here he is unleashed in a world where there was no Vietnam war to slow him down and Watergate is just a fancy hotel.

Cybercriminals never rest—and small businesses are their preferred targets. Many business owners assume they're too small to attract hackers or trust that their IT provider has everything covered. But assumptions like these put your business at severe risk.

Robert S. McNamara was widely considered to be one of the most brilliant men of his generation. While he could be cold and arrogant, he was an invaluable friend to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson as US secretary of defense and had a deeply moving relationship with Jackie Kennedy. McNamara was the leading advocate for American escalation in Vietnam during the summer of 1965, strongly urging Johnson to send hundreds of thousands of American ground troops just weeks before he concluded that the war was unwinnable.
