"The
Palestinians have to resurrect the spirit of Christ to absorb the sense
of pain they feel and control it, and not let it determine the way they
act toward Israel. They have to realize that an act of violence does not
serve their interest. This is a gigantic undertaking." "It
is indicative of Nusseibeh's elusiveness that his metaphor spoke at once
of Palestinian martyrdom, the myth of Jewish violence against Jesus, and
the need for a new culture of peace." E-books
available from the SCR E-book Library are 1) Areopagitica.
This is John Milton's speech in defense of freedom of the press before
the British parliament way back then. Aside from its eloquence, it is
still relevant. 2) Rudolf Steiner's Spiritual
Cosmology lectures, which appeared here serialized, so to speak. 3) Wooden
Sword, a fantasy tale by Lord Isso, spun in the Australian Outback. See
the Table of Contents for the "Editor's Page", which takes on
the Social Question and neo-capitalism, and there are essays by Steve
Talbott and Gaither Stewart. "Science" includes a
couple of Tantra Physics essays by Nick Herbert and part of
Richard Feynman's monologue from the Broadway play "QED".
Another physicist, Tom Mellett, is back under the
"Anthroposophy" heading with a spiritual scientific essay on
cosmogony. "The Baseball Murders" whodunnit about a plot to
kill Jackie Robinson continues and under the Short Fiction category
there are five nifty stories: The Hispanic-American writer Daniel
A. Olivas is back after a long absence with a slyly funny story
about publishers and agents; your own FTS contributes a story
about some strange Magi arriving under the Southern Cross during a
summer Christmas; Robert B. Cohen, a NYPD police captain and
budding writer, tells us dramatically about cops' work on the streets
and subways of the Big Apple; SCR staff writer Gaither Stewart
lets light shine through the darkness, and new to SCR writer Charlie
Mann tells the story of an American Indian girl fighting for the
reform of a ritualized tribe. We think you'll enjoy them all. SCR's
poetry renaissance continues with contributions by Bradford Riley,
Stephen Oliver and Nick Herbert. If modern poetry bores you,
try these quantum quality pieces. Writers
should check out our new contest rules
for original short fiction and essays - with cash prizes. The Southern Cross Review is located under the Southern Cross
constellation in the Traslasierra Valley, Province of C�rdoba,
Argentina. Visitors welcome. Frank
