Swift chooses the telling name “Lemuel Gulliver”,...

The poem “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke is a somewhat polarizing poem about the relationship between a father and his son. The poem is polarizing because of the language used and how one can draw very different interpretations of this brief poem. The relationship can either be viewed as one of love or one of abuse between the boy and his father. Roethke deliberately ensures that neither is clear in the use of his language. I believe the relationship...

Aptheker was remarkably a customary supporter of the arrangement. The arrangement was subsidized for the most part by WMAQ, a NBC partner (and amusingly a similar station that presented Amos n' Andy years prior)— a reality that made Durham's residency in charge overflowing with political...
