More From Nora Roberts

...nameless, unknown to me as you were, i couldn't forget your voice!' 'for how long?' 'o - ever so long. days and days.' 'days and days! only days and days? o, the heart of a man! days and days!' 'but, my dear madam, i had not known you more than a day or two. it was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. it was a colossal passion in embryo. it never returned.

Some days felt longer than other days. some days felt like two whole days. unfortunately those days were never weekend days. our saturdays and sundays passed in half the time of a normal workday. in other words, some weeks it felt like we worked ten straight days and had only one day off.

Washington was a typical american. napoleon was a typical frenchman, but lincoln was a humanitarian as broad as the world. he was bigger than his country - bigger than all the presidents together. we are still too near to his greatness,' (leo) tolstoy (in 1908) concluded, 'but after a few centuries more our posterity will find him considerably bigger than we do. his genius is still too strong and powerful for the common understanding, just as the sun is too hot when its light beams directly on us.'

Burmese authors and artists can play the role that artists everywhere play. they help to mold the outlook of a society - not the whole outlook and they are not the only ones to mold the outlook of society, but they have an important role to play there. and i think if they take up this role seriously and link it to the kind of changes were wish to bring about in our country they could be a tremendous help.

With yeltsin, the soviet union broke apart, the country was totally mismanaged, the constitution was not respected by the regions of russia. the army, education and health systems collapsed. people in the west quietly applauded, dancing with and around yeltsin. i conclude therefore that we should not pay too much attention to what the west is saying.
