The War That Made the Roman Empire

How was Octavian, with his weaker forces, able to beat Mark Antony and Cleopatra? Find out the incredible story of the Battle of Actium.

Super appropriate for the Ides of March. Three excellent scholars, including friend and colleague Bill Murray. (No, not that Bill Murray.) I've also met Kara Cooney, who is a bit of a rock star in Egyptology. Only spoken with Barry by phone many years ago.

Free and open to the public.

"The role of Michael is a very strange and difficult one and it put a terrific strain on him. It was like being caught in a kind of vise. In the first picture, he went from being a young, slightly insecure, naïve and brilliant young college student to becoming this horrible Mafia killer.

In Godfather II, he’s the same man from beginning to end—working on a much more subtle level, very rarely having a big climactic scene where an actor can unload, like blowing the spittle out of the tube of a trombone. The entire performance had to be kind of vague and so understated that, as an actor, you couldn’t really be sure what you were doing. You had the tremendous pressure of not knowing whether your performance would have a true, cumulative effect, whether you were creating a monster or just being terrible. The load on Al was terrific and it really ran him down physically." - Francis Ford Coppola in conversation with William Murray for Playboy, 1975. Photo by Steve Schapiro.

That moment in Belle, where Lady Mansfield asks Lord Mansfield if he loves Dido, and the emotion in his voice when he says “As though she were created of you and me,” always makes me tear up.

Honestly, Dido and Lord Mansfield’s relationship in general always gets me emotional.

William Murray, Son of the Founder of American Atheists, Converts to Christianity

[There is always going to be family dysfunction even in Christian homes. However, the devil finds his playground when God’s Word is despised and one’s own desires is all that matters within the walls of ones home..]

“One could call this a postnatal abortion on the part of a mother, I guess; I repudiate him entirely and completely for now and all times… he is beyond human forgiveness” ~ Madalyn O’Hair’s Son – The Horrors Of Atheism!

These are undoubtedly some harsh words on the part of a parent so one would wish to know how it went down with Murray; he explains,

“Oddly it didn’t hurt that much because of how dysfunctional the home was that I was raised in. The number of times in which I had done something that was perhaps wrong in her eyes as a child and [after which] she looked at me and said “I wish abortion had been legal when I was carrying you”… she told me that to my face when I was younger. So this [statement] was nothing more than a continuation of that.

But that is the type of home where the only thing that is important is are those material things, those material philosophies, or government or statism. When only those things are important to you the feelings of people, of individuals aren’t that important to you.”

Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn (1975)

Mike Oldfield lançou Ommadawn em 1975. Feitas as contas, e ao fim de mais de quatro décadas e meia, o álbum mantém-se inspirador e fresco. Voltámos a ele sem quaisquer arrependimentos. Foi mesmo bom regressar a um passado sonoro de enorme qualidade.

Ommadawn é um dos mais delicados discos de Mike Oldfield, e também o seu terceiro longa duração. Traz a surpresa da voz do músico inglês, e mantém-se como um dos melhores momentos da sua extensa discografia. Para as novas gerações, Mike Oldfield é um nome perdido no tempo, um músico sem qualquer significado, ou até um nome totalmente desconhecido. Mesmo correndo o risco normal de qualquer…
