April 13, 2003


Got up at 9:41.

Saw Satyajit Ray's Distant Thunder for the second time.  Powerful. [It's about the Bengal famine that killed millions during World War II, which Ray made in response to the refugee crisis that accompanied Bangladesh's 1971 war of independence.]

Donald, John, John's daughters and Johns' girlfriend Kathrine [she's still with him fifteen years later!] came over for dinner, which was Indian take-out food.

60 Minutes had a lame report on Iran, not once mentioning US support for the last Shah. "Clinton vs. Dole" is also lame, though accurately reflecting the official heterodoxy.
