  Man of Distinction by Michael Shaara - Being unique is a matter of pride—but being a complete mathematical impossibility? 
  The remarkable distinction of Thatcher Blitt did not come to the attention of a bemused world until late in the year 2180. Although Thatcher Blitt was, by the standards of his time, an extremely successful man financially, this was not considered real distinction. Unfortunately for Blitt, it never has been. 
  The history books do not record the names of the most successful merchants of the past unless they happened by chance to have been connected with famous men of the time. Thus Croesus is remembered largely for his contributions to famous Romans and successful armies. And Haym Solomon, a similarly wealthy man, would have been long forgotten had he not also been a financial mainstay of the American Revolution and consorted with famous, if impoverished, statesmen. 
  So if Thatcher Blitt was distinct among men, the distinction was not immediately apparent. He was a small, gaunt, fragile man who had the kind of face and bearing that are perfect for movie crowd scenes. Absolutely forgettable. Yet Thatcher Blitt was one of the foremost businessmen of his time. For he was president and founder of that noble institution, Genealogy, Inc. 
  Thatcher Blitt was not yet 25 when he made the discovery which was to make him among the richest men of his time. His discovery was, like all great ones, obvious yet profound. He observed that every person had a father.

  The Rich Man and Lazarus  
  Luke 16: 19-31  
    
  A parable Jesus gave to them. “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and beautiful clothes, and he lived lavishly every day.” 
   “There was also a beggar by the name of Lazarus who sat at his gate each day and his body had a lot of sores.” 
  “And Lazarus wanted to eat the crumbs from the rich man’s table, but then the dogs came and licked his sores.” 
  “Some time had passed and both Lazarus and the rich man died. Lazarus was taken into Abraham’s arms and the rich man was taken into the fiery furnace of hell.” 
  “And the rich man was tormented in hell, and he looked up and saw Lazarus and Abraham a good distance away.” 
  “And he shouted and said, Father Abraham, please have mercy and be kind to me, and send Lazarus so that he can dip his finger in a little water and cool my tongue; for I am being tormented in these flames.” 
  “Abraham replied to him, Son remember in your lifetime you had only good and nice things but Lazarus only bad and evil things. Now he is in comfort, but you are tormented in these flames.” 
  “Moreover, there is a fixed barrier between us. Even if we could help you, we wouldn’t be able to cross.” 
  “The rich man said to Father Abraham, could you at least send him to my house?” 
  “I have five brothers there so that he can warn them about this place of torment so that they will not end up here.” 
  “But Father Abraham replied, They have Moses and the other prophets let your brothers hear them.”

  Once upon a time there lived a girl who swept floors and washed dishes and was little more than a servant to her family. 
   
  Until, one day, an invitation arrived. 
   
  It was an invitation to a new country and a new beginning—a place where Caroline Herschel’s dreams, her fascination with the night sky, and her extraordinary talent would open up a world of beauty and renown, and make her the belle of the scientific ball. 
   
  From humble beginnings and in spite of many obstacles, Caroline and her brother William developed and built the best telescope in the world—in their backyard!  
   
  Together they went on to discover a new planet, new moons, and vast arrays of unknown nebulae and comets. 
   
  From a child who seemed doomed to a life of servitude, Caroline grew into a woman recognized by kings and queens—and a scientist whose work and discoveries continue to shine today. Pamela S. Turner invites readers into Caroline’s true Cinderella story in this inspiring account of the  
  transformative power of curiosity and the magic—better than any fairy tale—of science.
