The fact that this rarest of delegations, bound from Warsaw to Smolensk on a Polish air force-flown Tupolev Tu-154, was flying to commemorate what has come to be known as the Katyn Massacre-the murder of more than 20,000 Polish officers by Soviet secret police in 1940-compounded the almost unimaginable loss, shrouding the tragedy in a terrible symbolism. On April 10, 2010, heavy fog in the vicinity of the Russian forest of Katyn determined the fate of Poland’s president, Lech Kaczynski, and ninety-six other Polish leaders, including members of parliament, the heads of both the army and navy, the president of Poland’s national bank, and Anna Walentynowicz, the eighty-year-old former dockworker whose firing in 1980 catalyzed Solidarity. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are twice as many farmed tigers as wild ones.

It's a fascinating book, and once I got past the halfway mark Du Maurier really ratcheted up the tension in a story I'd been pretty bored with. I would love to read a bunch of contemporary, feminist essays on Rebecca right about now. Did she succeed in her dastardly attempt to rid the glorious Manderley Estate of this young bride, this young acquired thing who could banish the memory of her beloved Rebecca forever? You shall have to listen for yourself to find out. I sat in the darkness of my driveway that night unable to leave my car listening to the voice of that housekeeper – like a mythological Siren creature, luring sailors to their deaths. I will never forget her narration of the scene where the housekeeper Mrs Danvers - so devoted and obsessed with the memory of dead Rebecca, slowly and gently encourages the new wife to climb into the high open window and throw herself to her death, for it would be the only decent thing to do. The narration by Anna Massey is so perfect that she gives it the feel of a film noir classic. ![]() This British classic is a flashback of how a young and naïve traveling companion to a rich American woman on vacation finds herself the fast bride of an older Englishman - a man with a lavish estate, a man with a sinister housekeeper, a man with a dead wife. ![]() ![]() ![]() This extensive variety ensures that users can always find something to bet on, no matter their sporting preferences.

These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror when I was carried on board. The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo.
