 ASPROM: Achilles on Vectis: a new interpretation of a mosaic from Brading, by Anthony Beeson
This paper proposes a new identification for a damaged panel in the great mosaic of room XII at Brading, and identifies the version of the subject, surviving as a mural at Pompeii, from which the figures are drawn.
The closest parallel, and the best evidence that the Brading panel is an Achilles, comes from Pompeii.[6] In the House of the Vettii are the remains of a badly damaged variant of the Scyros scene that appears to record the lost original on which the Brading figures are based.
Although most of the Brading figures are portrayed nearly full face, much use is made of sideways glances, and as the fleeing girl is never the subject of Achilles’ attention, a glance ‘off canvas’ away from her seems most likely.

 Books
A professor of Mexican history at the University of Cambridge, Brading examines the Guadalupe story within the context of the political and cultural changes that have occurred in Mexico since the devotion’s origins in 1531.
Brading does not make his personal skepticism explicit here, but his treatment of the evidence implies a troubling historical contradiction.
Brading shows how later writers would build on or reject the assertions of Sánchez and de la Vega, whom he considers "the first evangelists and true founders of the Guadalupe tradition." He thus dismisses Juan Diego’s role in the Guadalupe story.

 BlueOregon: Exclusive: Brading/Minnis Poll
May 19, 2006 5:10:59 PM And I think that Brading's showing last time in the primaries were a good early warning sign of his surprisingly strong performance in the general -- which as you know, he did without very little traditional progressive support (besides the OLCV).
Brading may not match Minnis dollar for dollar, but you can be guaranteed he will have enough resources to get his winning message out.
Elsewhere, Rob Brading has opportunity to splinter off some of Minnis' fundamentalist Christian support I saw first-hand in the 2005 legislative session, that Minnis was the cat's paw for big booze and big tobacco.

 Portland Mercury - News - City - Brading vs. Minnis
Brading is quick to point out that much of her campaign money has come from out-of-state corporations, especially from the pharmaceutical industry, and that her votes align with them, not east county residents.
And in recent weeks, Minnis' campaign has trotted out a tactic she used in 2004—fliers saying that Brading is the "man responsible for children viewing internet porn in our county library." The reasoning: Brading is on the library board, and the library board has decided to not censor the libraries' computers.
Brading went on to say that the child-porn mailers have also created a distraction—focusing attention away from issues that could actually help make children safer.
