WCA #39 Restless and depressed without her spouse and child, Mantis projected her spirit back into space and took on other plant forms, eventually allying herself with the Silver Surfer and seemingly dying in battle with the Elders of the Universe. Mantis created a plant-based version of her body in which to bear her hybrid child, and raised the baby on Earth as "Mandy Celestine" until it had to leave the world and experience its alien heritage. Her spirit was shunted back to Earth, where it assumed a new plant-based duplicate of her body, but the near-death trauma produced amnesia that did not end until the Cotati-Swordsman’s attack forced her back into her true form. www.avengersassemble.us /wca39.htm   (526 words)

On a Wagon Train to Afghanistan Star Trek posits a common genetic heritage for many humanoid species, e.g., TNG: The Chase (syndicated television broadcast, Aug. 26, 1993), but of course mere genetic origin does not trigger the same weight of interests at stake in the Middle East. Part II of this article acquaints the reader with the Star Trek universe, both as a mirror of Western cultural development for the last three and a half decades, and conversely as a force that has had a remarkable impact on contemporary Western culture. Born of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's distaste for the Vietnam War, this science fiction rule that technologically advanced humans ought not meddle in the affairs of alien cultures has lent credence to noninterventionist principles in terrestrial affairs, from anthropology to international politics. tarlton.law.utexas.edu /lpop/etext/ualr/peltz25.html   (4597 words)

Intermarriage in the universe of LOTR - Pet Sins Webzine May 2004 But it is also mentioned that Freca had "much Dunlendish blood and was dark-haired" - in other words, he is in part descended from a race which is not on the "good" side, and this fact seems to overshadow his Edain heritage. While it is not explicitly stated that Freca's coarse, evil personality comes along with his blood lineage, Tolkien does on more than one occasion, mention racial heritage hand in hand with character. The justification for the murder is the uppity aspirations of the insubordinate vassal. www.colorq.org /PetSins/article.asp?y=2004&m=5&x=intermarriage   (958 words)

LUCCA and its surroundings - the Art, the Culture, the Events in Lucca Province The universe of Pascoli is made of simple things like small house nests, good feelings and scraps of everyday life; a whole generation of artists among whom Magri, Giorgi, Vittoriani and Cordati was inspired by this universe and their works evoke an emotional and poetic atmosphere based on the rhythm of peasants´ lives. Lamberti´s "vigile poesia" and Santini´s artistic vision that stresses the places and values of where he was born are a consecration of a rural world made of landscapes and work in the fields; they help us to understand the heritage of Pascoli´s poetry with their original interpretation and a note free from superficial sentimentality. The exhibition focuses on what were the favourite topics of Giovanni Pascoli´s poetical work examined through the paintings of a whole generation of artists. www.cribecu.sns.it /lucca/ENG/EXB/EXB_S0002   (230 words)
