And yet the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020 while spending a quiet afternoon at the New England home he shared with his wife and two young children. Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead father, inviting Junger to join him. “It’s okay,” his father said. “There’s nothing to be scared of. I’ll take care of you.”

I first met Tristan Miles at a meeting where he was trying to take over my late husband’s company. He was powerful, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous, and I hated him with every cell in my body.

This history of art shows how painters, sculptors and architects have expressed the belief systems of their age: religious, political and aesthetic.

A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent.

Was wäre, wenn die gleiche Innovationskraft, die vor 50 Jahren die Menschheit auf den Mond brachte - die große Ziele setzt und ebensolche Risiken eingeht - auch auf die Herausforderungen unserer Gegenwart angewendet würde? Wir müssen weg vom Schubladendenken, nach dem der Staat das Geld gibt und die Privatwirtschaft kreativ ist, sagt die Starökonomin Mariana Mazzucato. Stattdessen müssen wir sicherstellen, dass Unternehmen, Gesellschaft und Regierung ein gemeinsames Ziel ins Auge fassen - mit geteiltem Risiko und geteilter Belohnung!

Ob bei Liebeskummer, Geldsorgen, Weltschmerz oder Ehekrach - die ebenso amüsanten wie bissigen Gedichte aus Doktor Erich Kästners Lyrischer Hausapotheke sind die beste Medizin. 'Was soll einer einnehmen, den die trostlose Einsamkeit des möblierten Zimmers quält oder die nasskalten, nebelgrauen Herbstabende? Zu welchen Rezepten soll der greifen, den der Würgeengel der Eifersucht gepackt hat? Womit soll ein Lebensüberdrüssiger gurgeln?'
