Traveling the world and going on adventures? Living alone in a beautiful little house by the sea? Sure, she hurt her back, but at least she could stay in bed until she was better-while I dream of sleeping in past 7am someday, and waking up on my own (there is no way, I have found, to turn off that “mom sense” that immediately wakes up any time I hear the bathroom door open or any other suspiciously child-produced noise between the hours of 9pm and 7am). It may seem at first glance that the story of Miss Rumphius is an unlikely inspiration for a young mom in the thick of raising little children and caring for a home-after all, Miss Rumphius, as a single woman who traveled the world, might be inspiring only in the sense of fueling said young mom’s dreams of being alone and free. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1998, McEwan was nominated for a Tony Award in the Best ActressĬategory for The Chairs.

War opened opportunities for fascist extremists to pursue these goals to the point of genocide. Goals of forced national unity, purity, and expansion, accompanied by propaganda-driven public excitement, held the mixture together. While fascist parties had broad political leeway, conservatives preserved many social and economic privileges. Paxton makes clear the sequence of steps by which fascists and conservatives together formed regimes in Italy and Germany, and why fascists remained out of power elsewhere. Fascist parties could not approach power, however, without the complicity of conservatives willing to sacrifice the rule of law for security. Their first uniformed bands beat up "enemies of the nation," such as communists and foreign immigrants, during the tense days after 1918 when the liberal democracies of Europe were struggling with the aftershocks of World War I. He focuses more on what fascists did than on what they said. Paxton prefers to start with concrete historical experience. ![]() Whatisfascism?
