• From A Greek-English Lexicon (Liddell-Scott) (1957)

  THE First Edition of this Lexicon appeared in 1843, and was stated to be ‘based on the German work of FRANcIS Passow.’ In the Preface to our Fourth Edition (1855) it was said that ‘we had omitted the name of PAssow from our Title-page,—assuredly not from any wish to disown or conceal our obligations to that Scholar, without whose Lexicon, as a base to work upon, our own would never have been compiled,—but because our own was now derived from so many and various sources, that we could no longer fairly place any one name in that position*.’ This argument applied with still greater cogency to the Fifth Edition (1861), which was very much augmented and improved, not only by continued reference to the great Paris Thesaurus (then drawing near to completion), but also to the Greek-German Lexicon of Rost and Palm, and to various other sources. The Sixth Edition (1869) was revised throughout; and though brevity was studied, the number of pages was increased by one eighth. Much of this increase was due to the length at which the forms of Verbs were treated; and here, in particular, we must express our obligation to the ex- cellent and exhaustive Greek Verbs Irregular and Defective, by Dr. Veitch. We referred in some cases especially to this work, and have to thank him for the great assistance we have constantly derived from his labours. In this, the Seventh Edition, the last that we can hope to see published, the whole work has been thoroughly revised, and large additions made. But by compression, and a slight enlargement of the page, the bulk of the volume has been reduced by ninety pages. The additions consist mainly of fuller references to the classical authors, and a free use of the /zdices to the Berlin Aristotle and to the Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum. We have gratefully to acknowledge the assistance rendered us by many scholars. More particularly must we mention the names of Professors Drisler, of New York; Goodwin, of Cambridge, Massachusetts; and Gildersleeve, of Baltimore. Professors Goodwin and Gilder- sleeve have rewritten several important Articles, which their well-known Grammatical learning makes peculiarly valuable; we may specify the Articles on dy, εἰ, ἐπεί, ἔστε, ἵνα, ὅπως, ὅτε, ὁπότε, ov, μή, and πρίν: the former has also supplied some excellent additions to Attic law-terms, such as γραμματεύς, παραγραφή, σύνδικος, ὕβρις, ὑπωμοσία. Professor Drisler has gone carefully over the whole Book, and there is hardly a page which does not bear some trace of his accurate observation. In the Arrangement of. the work, it will be found that in Verbs, the Grammatical forms ‘come first ; then Etymological remarks, inclosed in curved brackets ( ); then notices of the Pro- sody, inclosed in square brackets | ]; then the Interpretation of the word, with examples, etc. In Nouns, the Etymological remarks have been generally left at the end of the word.

• From Synanon Kid: Book One: A Memoir of Growing Up in the Synanon Cult

  You must have been about six or seven months, and I said, ‘Celena, did you say ‘Book’? “You just kept looking at me with those big eyes. You had great big eyes like a Hindu baby. So I said, ‘Celena, what’s that? Is that a book? Book?’ Then you said it again. The same little voice: ‘Book.’” Theresa always told this story as if it had just happened the day before. She’d get worked up at the punchline, her eyes shining from the memory. It seemed fitting that my first word had been “book” because books provided the ultimate escape from my anomalous environment. Other than an occasional field trip, usually to the supermarket or library, we children rarely left the Synanon properties. However, I found that I could go anywhere, whenever I liked, through books and later my own writings. The shelves of the playrooms were well stocked with books for early readers up to young adult novels. Some of the picture books were typical for children. They included Goodnight Moon and The Run Away Bunny, both by Margaret Wise Brown, Horton Hears a Who and other books by Dr. Seuss, Mother Goose Tales and the like. Then there were the cartoonish informative guides to sex and puberty: Where Did I Come From? and What’s Happening To Me? both by Peter Mayle. Where Did I Come From? begins with the narrator announcing, “We wrote it because we thought you might like to know exactly where you came from, and how it all happened.” A few pages later, we see an illustration of a man and woman, the definitive parents, standing naked in a bathtub with bright cheerful smiles as the reader is taken on a tour of their reproductive anatomy and shown the distinct differences between them. This soon leads to the main action: Daddy, rosy-cheeked and on top of Mommy, enthusiastically pumping away. We had already been informed on the preceding page that when Mommy and Daddy are feeling loving, they like to kiss and then Daddy’s penis grows big and hard in preparation for entering Mommy’s vagina. The narrator assures youthful readers that this sequence produces pleasurable sensations like a “tickle” in both partners. Daddy repeatedly rubs his penis inside Mommy until the sensation is so pleasant that something called semen spurts out into Mommy’s vagina. The next page shows smiling sperm that look as if they might burst into song, swimming up a kind of tunnel that represents the inside of the woman. The mission is successful for one of the tadpole-like contenders, and a sappy romance between the sperm and egg is played out in what looks like a sudden formal dinner party. The sperm has donned a top hat and sports a cane. He is in jolly suspended animation next to the egg, a blushing massive white blob of a thing with fake eyelashes. The two join forces, and voila! We have the beginnings of life.

• From Synanon Kid: Book One: A Memoir of Growing Up in the Synanon Cult

  Paul has kept a dedicated blog of Synanon history and legal matters for many years, as well as writing two books on the cult: Escape: My Lifelong War Against Cults , which features Synanon among other organizations whose leaders turned malevolent and destructive toward their members, and From Miracle to Madness , a thorough anthology of Synanon history and a careful log of every legal issue Synanon ever had. Paul was kind enough to have me over to his home and to read one of my earlier drafts over the course of an evening. He took notes, invited me back and sat with me for five hours telling me what he thought worked and what didn’t. I am very grateful for Paul’s honesty when he told me the manuscript still needed a lot of work. He was generous with his time and offered up the resources of his extensive library, which held a wealth of information about Synanon. I have found both of Paul’s books and his blog a great resource of Synanon history. In 2016, Paul was successful in helping to instigate the California bill SB 524, signed into law by Governor Edmond Brown Jr. This bill is an important step in helping to protect minors in abusive live-in situations. I have also supplied my memoir with facts from William Olin’s memoir Escape from Utopia: My Ten Years in Synanon and David U. Gerstel’s Paradise Incorporated: Synanon—A Personal Account , my mother’s Kidsnatcher notebook and one of Chuck’s manifestos, On Rearing Children: From a Synanon School Health and Welfare Massive Dose . I would also like to thank the editors who worked on Synanon Kid . My friend Jeffrey Turnbull worked as a copy editor on earlier drafts, and Marion Roach helped with developmental edits. In later drafts, Marcie Geffner offered her expertise of developmental and copy edits, and my daughter Viva Wittman has also contributed to copy edits. Michael McConnel has done the final proofread. I did not talk to anyone else who lived in Synanon, as I wanted to write from my own memories. I feel the recall of my own personal experiences and their lasting impressions lend an authenticity to my story that may have been muddled if I had collected my peers’ perspectives and memories. Finally, I am grateful for the serendipitous events that led me to visit the old Walker Creek property of Synanon in February 2017. My eldest daughter’s boyfriend spoke to her of a beautiful piece of land in Petaluma where he liked to go hiking and mentioned that he would like to take her with him sometime to experience it for herself. When he described the place, she realized that the property sounded awfully similar to the Synanon property where I had grown up. Her boyfriend knew the caretaker of the property and after looking into it, informed my daughter that indeed it was.

• From Lit: A Memoir (2009)

  He pushed open the glass door, and I stepped into spring air. When you’re in my place, you’re gonna pick up some kid’s check. The idea that Walt was deranged enough to envision me in the position to buy somebody lunch was maybe a bigger vote of confidence than the adoption offer. When I asked him to drop me at the health service for the sore throat I couldn’t shake all spring, he said, Maybe it’s just hard to say goodbye. I whipped around so he wouldn’t see my eyes fill, since I was dead sure I wouldn’t make it back up there. But Walt never took his eyes off me. During the time I gypsied around, feebly trying to establish a base, he stayed in touch. No matter where I had a mailbox, his letters sat inside. Which is maybe why—months after working retail down in Austin—I came back to Minneapolis, where a friend knew a glitzy restaurant where I could bartend. Even there, Walt showed up with other professors to eat the bar’s crappy sandwiches. He always left a book or two or a concert ticket, an article on dream research or memory—subjects he knew I kept up with. He never gave up on me, I only stopped being matriculated.

• From Synanon Kid: Book One: A Memoir of Growing Up in the Synanon Cult

  Paul has kept a dedicated blog of Synanon history and legal matters for many years, as well as writing two books on the cult: Escape: My Lifelong War Against Cults , which features Synanon among other organizations whose leaders turned malevolent and destructive toward their members, and From Miracle to Madness , a thorough anthology of Synanon history and a careful log of every legal issue Synanon ever had. Paul was kind enough to have me over to his home and to read one of my earlier drafts over the course of an evening. He took notes, invited me back and sat with me for five hours telling me what he thought worked and what didn’t. I am very grateful for Paul’s honesty when he told me the manuscript still needed a lot of work.

The caretaker, Patrick, and his wife, Melissa, graciously took me, three of my children and their significant others on a tour of the property. This was the first time I had been back since I was eleven years old. It was surreal, to say the least, and disorienting, as many of the buildings had been torn down and in some instances new buildings erected in place of the old. The property has been turned into an outdoor science camp for elementary school students and is also rented out as a conference center and for special events like weddings.

• From Lit: A Memoir (2009)

  I lowered my spoon. Stunned, I was, and touched. They’d never fall for that, I said. I think they’d have to, Walt said, signaling for a check. Shirley talked to a lawyer friend of ours. Lifelong, I’d been trying to weasel into another tribe. Back in my neighborhood, I was shameless about showing up on people’s porches come supper, then sprawling around their dens till they kicked me out. Wrapped in a crocheted blanket on a hook rug with the game on and the family cheering around me—digging my grubby hand into their popcorn bowl—I could convince myself I was one of them. A few times it almost surprised me when I heard the inevitable sentence: Time to go home, Mary Marlene. Fishing for his wallet, Walt explained how easy it’d be. He and Shirley had talked it over, and even the kids were all for it. His youngest boy had asked whose room I’d sleep in. Would I have to change my name? I said. Somehow that would seal my betrayal. I don’t think so, he said. Or you can petition to change it back. The sun was warm on us through the plate glass, and I stared at the door, wishing with all my might that Daddy would come striding through to lay his claim. He’d shake Walt’s hand all nice, saying how he appreciated it, but—he’d squeeze my shoulder—he just had to keep me. The truth was, if it helped with money, Daddy would sign me over in a heartbeat. I was the one who couldn’t bear legally lopping myself off from an upbringing I was working so hard to shed. So I lied that it would hurt my parents too bad, the same way I used to tell those neighbors I horned in on—right before I figured they’d throw me out —that I had to rush home for a curfew that didn’t exist. Well, think about it, Walt said. We were at the register by then. How’ll I ever pay you back? I said. For what? He limped back to leave a bill under the salt shaker. All these lunches, dinners, jobs.... You’re not gonna pay me back, he said. It’s not that linear. He pushed open the glass door, and I stepped into spring air. When you’re in my place, you’re gonna pick up some kid’s check. The idea that Walt was deranged enough to envision me in the position to buy somebody lunch was maybe a bigger vote of confidence than the adoption offer. When I asked him to drop me at the health service for the sore throat I couldn’t shake all spring, he said, Maybe it’s just hard to say goodbye. I whipped around so he wouldn’t see my eyes fill, since I was dead sure I wouldn’t make it back up there. But Walt never took his eyes off me. During the time I gypsied around, feebly trying to establish a base, he stayed in touch.

  No matter where I had a mailbox, his letters sat inside. Which is maybe why—months after working retail down in Austin—I came back to Minneapolis, where a friend knew a glitzy restaurant where I could bartend. Even there, Walt showed up with other professors to eat the bar’s crappy sandwiches. He always left a book or two or a concert ticket, an article on dream research or memory—subjects he knew I kept up with. He never gave up on me, I only stopped being matriculated.

  He laughed, and said, “I am Faustus, the magician.” He let me work for him. And, he was a magician. In his house he had books and magazines with pictures of all over the world. He had a microscope he would let me look in as a reward when I finished my work. He had lenses, rolls of graph paper, compass and inking pens, and a drawing board that tilted when you fixed the nut. I made him tell me what it all was. After I cleaned for him and ran his errands for a year, he taught me how to use some of them. He made me learn English. The other engineers who came to talk with him all spoke English. He had a chart of the elements and a map of the sky he said was almost useless to us because it was a map of the northern sky and we were just under the Tropic of Capricorn. He made me learn the names of all the countries of Europe. Many in Asia. He had been in lots of them. He read me stories in Spanish and English. Once I tried to make him teach me German. Herr Bildungs liked teaching, and every time I wanted to learn, he would leave what he was doing and go on with me for hours—I lost interest before he did. But this time he only spent two evenings to help me with the sounds you have to make like a rasp on the back of your tongue. I had to coax and pull every word from him. I gave up. There were too many other things he liked to talk about, the three chambered hearts of birds, the evolution between the bird and the lizard. Later, when I took my boat to the east and came to ports where German is still the trade tongue, I had to try all over again. It is still my least good language. He said once, walking from his house in the village to the sea, “Do you want to know the most valuable piece of information there is? Always remember the objects you are working with. When you make a bridge, remember you are putting steel on stone and dirt. When you build a raft, remember you are floating wood in water. Someday you will write poems to a little girl: marks with ink on paper. When you want to turn them into songs and sing them, remember you are squeezing wet bags of air over the cartilages in your throat. When you are making love, you are moving flesh against flesh. That is the basis of all magic. It is very simple and very complicated.” Later he asked me, “Do you know any more magicians besides me?” “Two,” I said. He was surprised. I told him about the man and woman in the doorway.

  Should I just stop maybe. The two figures saving me from the eruption in the village where I was born are the first two. They have changed me. Not by what they said or taught—though that too—but because of this light they suddenly have. Or maybe it is something I put. The closest thing I can talk about it is the feeling I had when I read that story, you understand? To understand what I am talking about, I guess you have to read science fiction. The first two were those saved me from the shack where I was a baby. The third is Herr Bildungs. I was nine then. We played on the beach. He was with the engineering people who came for the oil. Herr Bildungs was the first to tell me my father was a black soldier from the U.S. and my mother was a Negro who had come down from Haiti. He found it out from the people in the town: my father was gone and my mother was dead. Besides the teacher at the school who taught me to read Spanish, no one had ever told me anything before Herr Bildungs. The day we were first on the beach I asked, “Who are you?” He laughed, and said, “I am Faustus, the magician.” He let me work for him. And, he was a magician. In his house he had books and magazines with pictures of all over the world. He had a microscope he would let me look in as a reward when I finished my work.

• From Healing Our Broken Humanity: Practices for Revitalizing the Church and Renewing the World (2018)

  Your dedication to ballet and your outstanding performances make me so proud of who you are. You teach me to live out my faith in unexpected ways and motivate me to be the best that I can be. To my youngest, Joshua, who is a leader among his friends and peers, and has exemplified strong leadership in school and in church: you have a kind heart and show love to everyone around you. As I am a busy mom, your gracious acceptance of mommy’s absence has been unconventional but most gracious and kind. Your love pushes me to be a better mom. I am so grateful to God for blessing me with such a loving and supportive family. Appendix OneQuestions For Discussion and EngagementA s you meet in your small group, college class, ministry team, Bible study group, or with friends, or by yourself, use any or all of the following questions to stimulate conversation and to help you apply the ten practices. Chapter 1: Reimagine Church1 . The authors say, “Christ has abolished the old divisions based on culture, politics, race, religion, law, gender, social standing, and so on. ‘Christ is all, and is in all’ and has brought us together from every nation, language, and people as ‘one new people.’” How do we get past many of the divisions in church and society and live out this new reality? 2 . This new humanity in Jesus Christ “doesn’t rid us of our Jewish or Gentile (or American, Korean, Australian, Chinese, Rwandan, Brazilian, Native American, etc.) cultures, identities, and unique contributions. But now our primary identity is in Christ and in that he has made us ‘one new humanity’ in him.” How do you feel about this? Do you agree or disagree? How do we juggle (and integrate) our personal and ethnic identity with our primary identity in Christ and as one new people? 3 . Why (and how) do we often root our Christian identity in nationalism, ethnicity, partisan politics, sociopolitical-economic status, gender, and other such things? How can we change this? 4 . What’s most difficult about expressing or living into the full diversity of the church? What’s most rewarding? 5 . The authors say that we are one body, with one Messiah, one Spirit, one life, one table, one politic, one righteousness, one peace, one mission, one faith, one hope, and one love. Which of these is most difficult to understand? Which is the hardest to express in your local church? Why is it vital for the church’s witness and community that it pursue this oneness? 6 . What needs to change for you and your church to reimagine the church as the new humanity in Jesus Christ? 7 . What steps will you take to apply this practice fully and in the long term? Think about how you can apply this practice in your life, family, small group, church, and neighborhood. Chapter 2: Renew Lament1 .
