  William Powell and Myrna Loy:...

  Editors Charles River

  It is something of a cliché to say that an actor’s life was like a movie he or she might have starred in, but in the case of Myrna Loy, the cliché is true. It is easy to picture her as a little girl, riding the range with her rancher father, sitting around the table and participating charmingly in family discussions of current events. It is not hard to imagine the camera panning to her first and then second visits to Hollywood, her backlot tour, and starry-eyed decision to become an actress. There would have to be some drama, which the story of her father’s untimely death would provide, along with some sort of deathbed promise made to him to care for the rest of the family. Her mother would be brave but resolute as she moved her young family to California. The lighting on set would brighten and the tempo of the background would pick up as she walked down the Los Angeles streets. Then, her big break would come. The camera would show her first comical meeting with William Powell and then a spinning scene of ticket after ticket being sold to their new picture, The Thin Man.  
  While older silent film stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton reached the peak of Hollywood, some actors born near the beginning of the 20th century were ready to capitalize. Though actors like Humphrey Bogart and Cary Grant remain household names, and actresses like Greta Garbo are still widely remembered, few had careers that enjoyed the success of William Powell. In a career spanning several decades, Powell would receive three Oscar nominations for Best Actor for critically acclaimed movies, so it is somewhat ironic that he is mostly remembered today for his association with the more famous Myrna Loy. One thing that helped Powell’s career along in the old days when Hollywood would only cast white actors in major roles, no matter what the nationality of the character was supposed to be, were his dark good looks.

  History of Denmark: A...

  Did you know that one of Europe’s greatest queens, the incredible Margaret I, united Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in the Kalmar Union in the mid-1300s?  
  For centuries, Denmark “punched above its weight” and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today. 
  Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to convert to Christianity, though this was likely as much to protect themselves from Christian kingdoms to the south and to increase their trade with Christian nations than any love for Christian beliefs.  
  Denmark has been at peace since WWII, but its position between the North and Baltic Seas makes it an important part of NATO, allowing it to once more “punch above its weight.” But despite its location, Denmark has managed to not only remain at peace but is today ranked as one of the happiest nations on Earth. 
  Discover the answer to fascinating questions like the following: Does Denmark really appear in the top three of the world’s “happiest” countries?Were the Danish Vikings only interested in conquest? And what were their relations like with Europe before the Viking Age? Who was Cnut the Great, and why was he so important in the history of countries like England, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden? Who the current Danish royal family is descended from? (Hint: it is not a Dane!) How and when did Denmark establish the wide-ranging social safety net it is so well-known for today? What role did Germany play in Denmark losing its status as an offensive military power?What was life like for Danish Jews during WWII?

  READING LIFE BACKWARD FORWARD -...

  Christopher Graham PhD CCHT

  Reading Life Backward, Forward explores the hidden structure of human experience—how illness, memory, coincidence, and fragmentation reshape our understanding of meaning and identity. In this reflective collection of essays, Christopher Graham examines moments when life stops moving in a straight line and begins revealing patterns only visible in retrospect. 
  Drawing on personal experience and philosophical insight, the book challenges the modern tendency to treat disruption as failure. Illness becomes a threshold rather than a malfunction. Memory behaves less like storage and more like a living system that reorganizes meaning over time. Synchronicity, often dismissed as coincidence, becomes part of a deeper symbolic literacy many people sense but struggle to articulate. 
  These essays are not instructions or belief systems. Instead, they trace how understanding often arrives long after the experience itself—through repetition, reflection, and integration. Graham explores why many transformative moments initially feel disorienting, why fragmentation is often mistaken for brokenness, and how meaning matures when grounded in lived experience rather than immediate interpretation. 
  For listeners interested in philosophy, psychology, spirituality, and the complexities of personal transformation, Reading Life Backward, Forward offers a thoughtful exploration of how people make sense of experiences that arrive before language is ready to explain them.
