  Danny's People: A Memoir and...

  Society disables us more than autism ever could 
   
  Virginia’s son Danny has a way of lighting up a room. He’s warm, personable and has an infectious laugh. He forms lasting relationships and has known his best friend since they were little. He is also nonverbal and autistic, and requires round-the-clock care and a liquid diet. And for this reason, there are many who would rather not encounter Danny. 
   
  Challenging the view that autism is something that needs to be ‘cured’, Virginia Bovell testifies to the extraordinary care Danny has received for over 30 years and the everyday kindness and decency of the people – ‘the band of angels’ – that surround him. She asks us to consider what makes a thriving individual versus an inadequate one; what it means to be ill versus what it means to not to conform; what roles society values and rewards; and how humans might flourish outside of failing political and economic systems.

  Georgia’s new husband began acting strangely on their honeymoon. Then he started controlling every aspect of her life and cutting her off from her family and friends. Forbidden to finish her last quarter of university or even play and sing at her beloved piano, she learned to lean deeply on God as she raised their two young sons in this dark environment. 
  The bizarre behavior escalated into mental and physical abuse, and her husband was often hospitalized after being diagnosed first with manic depression, then schizophrenia. Georgia shares her story of hard-won truths learned in seven years of isolation and control. When times were at their worst and she feared for her safety, she battled in prayer and worship. The practice of continual forgiveness set her free and gave her a song in her heart. 
  While this is a story of leaning into God in the midst of deep trials, it is also a story of a new love found. Those going through hard times in a relationship, or who have family members or friends suffering with mental illness, will be encouraged by this true personal account of a woman who learned to walk with God in the midst of her trials.

  The KGB is one of the most famous abbreviations of the 20th century, and it has become synonymous with the shadowy and often violent actions of the Soviet Union’s secret police and internal security agencies. In fact, it is often used to refer to the Soviet state security agencies throughout its history, from the inception of the inception of the Cheka (Extraordinary Commission) in 1917 to the official elimination of the KGB in 1992. Whether it’s associated with the Russian Civil War’s excesses, Stalin’s purges, and even Vladimir Putin, the KGB has long been viewed as the West’s biggest bogeyman during the second half of the 20th century. 
  	However, the KGB did not appear out of thin air. Naturally, the earliest Soviet leaders utilized intelligence agencies that collected information both abroad and within the Soviet Union, targeting foreign opponents and domestic opponents alike. Lenin did not imagine the scale of the opposition he would have to face after the revolution, and he quickly came to the conclusion that "a special system of organized violence" must be created to implement the dictatorship of the proletariat. 
  	Thus, from nearly the beginning of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia, Lenin and his successors established and relied on a particularly ruthless agency: the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, later abbreviated to the Extraordinary Commission. Known colloquially as the Cheka (Extraordinary Commission), it soon became as feared by non-socialists as the Tsar’s secret police had ever been. The main means approved by the Council of People's Commissars on December 20, 1917, which the Cheka had to use to fight the counter-revolution, were "seizure of property, resettlement, deprivation of cards, publication of lists of enemies of the people, etc."

  Actor Rahul Bose lends his golden voice to some ethereal love letters written by some great personalities from the bygone era.
  
  English writer Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) excelled in writing children's fiction like 'Alice's Adventure in Wonderland' and it's sequel 'Through the Looking-Glass'. He had a way with word play, logic & fantasy in his stories. It was believed that he had a habit of dedicating his works to girls of his acquaintance, adding their names in acrostic poems at the beginning of the text. Gertrude was one of those characters.
  
  Christ Church, Oxford, October 28, 1876
  
  My Dearest Gertrude:
  
  You will be sorry, and surprised, and puzzled, to hear what a queer illness I have had ever since you went. I sent for the doctor, and said, "Give me some medicine. for I'm tired. " He said, "Nonsense and stuff! You don't want medicine: go to bed!"
  
  I said, "No; it isn't the sort of tiredness that wants bed. I'm tired in the face. " He looked a little grave, and said, "Oh, it's your nose that's tired: a person often talks too much when he thinks he knows a
  
  great deal. " I said, "No, it isn't the nose. Perhaps it's the hair. " Then he looked rather grave, and said, "Now I understand: you've been playing too many hairs on the pianoforte. "
  
  "No, indeed I haven't!" I said, "and it isn't exactly the hair: it's more about the nose and chin. " Then he looked a good deal graver, and said, "Have you been walking much on your chin lately?" I said, "No. " "Well!" he said, "it puzzles me very much.
  
  Do you think it's in the lips?" "Of course!" I said. "That's exactly what it is!"
  
  Then he looked very grave indeed, and said, "I think you must have been giving too many kisses. " "Well, " I said, "I did give one kiss to a baby child, a little friend of mine. "
  
  "Think again, " he said; "are you sure it was only one?" I thought again, and said, "Perhaps it was eleven times. " Then the doctor said, "You must not give her any more till your lips are quite rested
  
  again. " "But what am I to do?" I said, "because you see, I owe her a hundred and eighty-two more. " Then he looked so grave that tears ran down his cheeks, and he said, "You may send them to her in a box. "
  
  Then I remembered a little box that I once bought at Dover, and thought I would someday give it to some little girl or other. So I have packed them all in it very carefully. Tell me if they come safe or if any are lost on the way. "
  
  Lewis Carroll
