Wednesday-Night

We talked about the moon which made me think about Odysseus who must have spent a lot of time looking at it as he was trying to find his way home. We are trying to find our way out of the energy problem and are looking at the moon again. We talked about nations being […]

BRAVO! BRAVISSIMO! to Beryl Wajsman and the team - including Wednesday Nighters Anthony Philbin, Robert Galbraith, Julius Grey and Brigitte Garceau (the latter we presume is tasked to keep them out of trouble) - of The Metropolitain. The speed with which the concept has become a […]

Cleo Paskal Special to the Star
Athens–There are some cities that transcend national boundaries.
New York, London, Shanghai, Cape Town, Mumbai, Istanbul, Tokyo and Mexico City, just to name a few, are culturally and economically so dynamic and powerful that in many ways they are essentially modern city-states.

31 October 2007
Hobgoblins, bats, black cats and jack o’ lanterns may not be present, (depending on your views of the other habitués of Wednesday Night) but there will be a steaming brew of stimulating thought in the company of David Kilgour, Kimon Valaskakis, Hans Black, and Beryl […]
