   Not every critic hated it. Roger Ebert gave it 3 out of four stars.But the important thing is, its director, Alejandro Amenabar got the idea of ‘Agora" by reading Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”.

   As a resident of William Penn’s Philadelphia (est. 1683), I’m mildly offended,BUT- as a fan of Laurel and Hardy (“Two Minds Without a Single Thought”),,I’m certain that the reference was to the ancient Turkish city, which is now known as Alasehir.

   My husband and I are those very rare native Philadelphians who love New York and spend a good deal of time (and money) there. We were in New York the Sunday before the attacksand actually kidded about finally visiting the Twin Towers—we knew Midtown well, but not Lower Manhattan.All was well until September 11th. I was at work when my boss stumbled in. This was odd-he was not one to stumble about anything, and discouraged any internet activity that wasn’t work-related. “Turn on your computer!” he shouted (he wasn’t one for shouting, either),“a plane flew into one of the Twin Towers!”I did, and I was horrified. Not long afterward, my workmates and I saw the second tower fall. It wasn’t “business as usual”. No one did anything business-related that day, but there was much hugging and crying. I was pretty much numb for the next few weeks, realizing that the United States was much more vulnerable than I’d imagined, that roughly three thousand innocent people were gone forever, and that I’d never get the chance to visit the Twin Towers.

    Many, many thanks! I admit that I didn’t know that, which is embarrassing in that I am a guide at the cemetery where Dr. Kelly is buried.Still…in France, with Marianne as its national symbol, and Joan of Arc as its patron saint, you’d think women’s suffrage would have arrived earlier.I will be certain to mention this the next time I have a tour that includes Dr. Kelly.
