		Babel might well have come to mind today because his best known public utterance -- he was a proverbially reclusive man -- was made at a writers' conference - a Soviet-sponsored event, actually - the Paris Congress of Writers in 1934.
		Rather, I mention Babel now because of his strategies in negotiating between the Jewish people and the world which he explored with the use of a fictional character who at one-and-the-same-time was understated, absurd, cruel, flamboyant, and also hilarious.
		Babel, who edited a military newspaper for a Bolshevik Cossack regiment, understood the irony of this situation well, and used it to do many things.

	The Tower of Babel Affair
		The building of the Tower of Babel and the Confusion of Tongues (languages) in ancient Babylon is mentioned rather briefly in Genesis Chapters 10 and 11.
		The rebellion at Babel was not some impossible undertaking, such as attempting to reach heaven with a man-made tower, as one might infer from the King James translation of Genesis 11:4.
		No doubt the Tower of Babel is merely a figure of speech to Stent as well as to Chomsky, but the figure is appropriate precisely because the miraculous confusion of tongues at Babel does provide the only meaningful explanation for the phenomena of human languages.

		These nerve cells and their connections are important to humans because they are one of the two types of cells that degenerate in ALS and other paralyzing diseases.

	RCF - Book Reviews
		Also included in this volume are four articles Babel wrote for his army newspaper, the Red Cavalryman; they are propagandistic in tone and stand in striking contrast to his sometimes ambivalent and detached, sometimes outraged and despairing diary entries.
		Chief among these preoccupations are Babel’s anxieties over hiding his ethnic identity, his uncertainties regarding the future of the Bolshevik cause, and his compassion for the unfortunate people caught up in this violent transitional moment—not only Jewish villagers, victims of several atrocious pogroms, but also female nurses and Polish prisoners.
		But Babel’s more detailed reflections and anecdotes, considered in relation to both his fiction and twentieth-century Soviet and Jewish history, make wading through the rest of the diary highly worthwhile.
