The Smell of Summer
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Nothing can evoke a memory as strongly or as suddenly as the sense of smell, but it is not always easy to persuade others that the smells you cherish are as wonderful as you make out. Cow dung is an immediately identifiable smell, and one that makes most people roll up the windows of their cars as they speed past farms and cattle lots. For me, however, it is more than that. For me it is a smell rich with promise because it was always the prelude to summer at the beach. Others may, in fact, cherish the promise of crops to be fertilized, dairies producing milk, or the mere sight of placid, friendly cows. But none of these reasons has the same sting of anticipation that accompanied the smell as it wafted into my father's big car as he delivered us for the month of August to my Grandmother's big house at the lake. I suppose that to experience the smell as I did one would have to be a child, filled with excitement over the biggest annual change in what I took to be a very humdrum existence.

They take special care, therefore, to own their surroundings--including their "owners."

Not the Fiennest
Despite the best intentions of playwrights and film directors the sympathies of audiences sometimes refuse to follow the design they have laid out. It is often said, for example, that in Shakespeare's Othello the terrible villain Iago is in many ways a far more interesting person than the hero. Some people find Gone With the Wind's Scarlett O'Hara merely annoying and stubborn rather than remotely heroic. And others may find that in Psycho Alfred Hitchcock's Norman Bates is more appealing than his cash-stealing, adulterous victim.
