Dear Valeria,

So who's more adult - somebody who works like mad to avoid a problem or somebody who works like mad to solve it?

Best regards,

Janet Kagan

Dear Valeria,

I always find myself wanting humanists to think about using the net for more than "let's just do what we've always done, only on line now" (the BMCR syndrome, if you will).

Cheers,

Allen Ross Scaife

Mahesh

Dear Valeria,

The Beatles came backstage after one of my lectures, and they said to me: “Even from an early age we have been seeking a highly spiritual existence. We tried drugs and that didn't work.” They are such practical and intelligent young boys that it took them only two days to find that Transcendental Meditation is the answer.

Peace and love,

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Carissima Valeria,

Lassú la montagna è silenziosa e deserta. Lungo la mu­lattiera che gli austriaci costruirono per giungere nei pres­si dell'Ortigara, dove un giorno raccolsi la punta ferrata del Bergstock che è qui sulla libreria, ora non passa piú nessuno. La neve che in questi giorni è caduta abbondan­te ha cancellato i sentieri dei pastori, le aie dei carbonai, le trincee della Grande guerra, le avventure dei cacciato­ri. E sotto quella neve vivono i miei ricordi.

Con affetto,

Mario Rigoni Stern
