A women's magazine and a pleasant phone call

Let's see if 17 November is a good day for me. I just had a pleasant conversation with a publisher from Switzerland. Via my call for feedback in the Brigitte forum [Which my heroine from the Mal, Ruth Marx, would certainly never visit ;-)] she must have come to my site, looked at my page and the readings - and now I have sent her more material plus a quickly written synopsis. So, God willing...

Favorite Line:

"I Started To Work "The Bad And The Beautiful (1952)

Reminder:

November 16: A Marine shoots a wounded Iraqi in cold blood in a mosque in Fallujah. Rubble and plaster littered room. White columns. Light falls through dust-matted panes. A gunshot. "Now he's dead." The soldier stands there like one of the Littleton rampage shooters.

19 November: former police vice-president Wolfgang Daschner is accused of threatening Magnus Gäfken, the murderer of an eleven-year-old boy, with torture. At that time Daschner still believed that this threat would give him the whereabouts of the boy, who may still be alive.

Putting these events side by side, I wonder how far the balancing act of the democratic, liberal basic order will still go.
