Greetings to all. The SIXTIES-L list is back in business! snip.. To reach the moderator directly, use: sixties@lists.village.virginia.edu To send a message for posting to the list, use: SIXTIES-L@lists.village.virginia.edu snip.. I hope you all are as pleased as I am with the rebirth of SIXTIES-L. Welcome back!! snip.. SIXTIES-L is a moderated electronic mail forum for inter- disciplinary academic and literary discussion of the cultural, social, and political movements of the Sixties. We invite participation from scholars in the various disciplines, such as history, literature, area studies, women's studies, african american studies, sociology, economics, political science, religion, psychology, queer studies, cultural studies etc. We also encourage the participation of teachers, artists and activists. snip.. http://lists.village.virginia.edu/sixties snip.. SIXTIES-L serves a variety of functions: it is a place where scholars, teachers, activists and writers can network, where they can inquire about resources, raise questions, debate issues, and obtain information about current events in the field (calls for papers, conferences, etc.). We envision SIXTIES-L as an environment in which we can embrace the spirit of the 1960s and engage in passionate discussion and articulate views, while at the same time preserving a level of respect and consideration for our peers which allows diversity to flourish. Because the subject matter is so volatile and discussion of the events of the Sixties still engenders strong feelings and reactions even from a scholarly audience, we have decided to run SIXTIES-L as a moderated list. This means that all posts to the list will pass before the eyes of one of the moderators before being forwarded on to SIXTIES-L subscribers. To post to the list send your message to: sixties-l@lists.village.virginia.edu SIXTIES-L archives files are available at our Web site at: http://lists.village.virginia.edu/lists_archive/sixties-l/ You can unsubscribe from SIXTIES-L at any time by sending a message to: majordomo@lists.village.virginia.edu Leave the subject line blank.

I look forward to the news letter every month. Just thought I'd mention I started using callwave about 6 months ago. It works great. Costs $1.35 a month in phone charges. I'm a self-employed painter and have picked up 3 jobs I might have missed. Keep on trucking, Brad http://www.callwave.com Moderators Comment - I have been using it since last issue and have found it a great way not to worry about missing calls. Thanks Brad. ***************************************************************** QUOTES A Few Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein ----- Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ----- A person starts to live when he can live outside himself. ----- The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility. ----- Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal. ----- Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. ----- The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible. ----- We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. ----- Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. ----- Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. ----- I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. ----- The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. ----- ...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought. ----- There are two ways to live your life, one is though nothing is a miracle,the other is as though everything is a miracle. ---------- Get the archive of quotes - send a blank email to: mailto:quotes@vipgrafx.com ***************************************************************** FEATURED WORDS & TUNES FEATURED BOOKS Sleeping Where I Fall : A Chronicle by Peter Coyote (Preface) Paperback - 367 pages 1 edition (May 1, 1999) Counterpoint; ISBN: 158243011X Amazon.com As the generation that launched America's counterculture in the 1960s matures into its gray ponytails and 401(k) plans, one might expect the autobiographies of its celebrities to be tinged with apology for goals unrealized. Indeed, with only a few notable exceptions, such as Peter Fonda's Don't Tell Dad, most celebrity autobiographies from '60s pop culture icons seem rooted in either bitterness or desperation. Fortunately, in Sleeping Where I Fall, Peter Coyote neither apologizes for his wild days nor waxes romantic for them. Nor should he. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/158243011X/vipgraphivideo (you may need to cut and paste the url if it's on two lines) FEATURED ALBUM Bloodshot J.
