That was all it took for our world to be invaded by hideous creatures from somewhere beyond. For that brief period, protons swarmed back and forth along the seventeen miles of carefully constructed tunnel and slammed into each other with devastating force, generating power the likes of which had not been seen since the moment of the Big Bang.

Is there a thread of connection between them for you? And yet, they are all topics about which you have written. Susan Henking: If I say Judaism, baseball, lesbians-to lots of people, these seem like very disparate topics. She is also the author of books on Reconstructionist and progressive Judaism, on the place of lesbians within Judaism, and, most recently, on Jews in black baseball. Shaped by her own teachers, including Mordecai Kaplan, who founded Reconstructionist Judaism, Alpert is currently a faculty member in religious studies at Temple University. And yet, that only happens when one forgets: forgets the many rabbis and ministers who were core to the Civil Rights movement, forgets the role of ministers and rabbis (again) in the early LGBT movement, forgets that religion is more than the right.Īmong the first generation of women rabbis as well as the first generation of lesbian rabbis is Rebecca Alpert.

In the River Plate, once the English and the rich lost possession of the sport, the first popular clubs were organized in railroad workshops and shipyards. Bread and circus, circus without the bread: hypnotized by the ball, which exercises a perverse fascination, workers forget who they are and let themselves be led about like sheep by their class enemies. In contrast, many leftist intellectuals denigrate soccer because it castrates the masses and derails their revolutionary ardor. Animal instinct overtakes human reason, ignorance crushes culture, and the riffraff gets what they want. Possessed by the ball, working stiffs think with their feet, which is entirely appropriate, and fulfill their dreams in primitive ecstasy. ![]() ![]() The scorn of many conservative intellectuals comes from their conviction that soccer worship is precisely the superstition people deserve. In 1902 in London, Rudyard Kipling made fun of soccer and those who contented their souls with 'the muddied oafs at the goals.'

Within the much more limited circles of witchcraft, his reception is more divided there are those who raise him for sweeping away our most outlandish creation myths on the one hand, and on the other, those who feel he is given too much sway precisely because of his academic credentials. Each of Ronald Hutton’s books is greeted with enthusiasm by the general academic community and by the intelligentsia who read the kind of papers that review his kind of books. ![]() ![]() Roberson also collaborated with fantasy bestsellers Melanie Rawn and Kate Elliott on World Fantasy Award finalist The Golden Key.
