Langdon Divers taking questions from a school group. Written questions because it's noisy and he is nearly deaf. Sharp answers, though. Q: What's your favorite color? A: Oh, I like all colors!
Addendum: Langdon Divers died December 9, 2007 at age 105. The key to a long life is to stay interested in life. Pass it on.

It has been four years since two daring voices, Shahid Azmi and Swapan Dasgupta, who stood by the struggles and rights of the oppressed were ruthlessly silenced by the Indian state. Shahid was assassinated on the 11th February 2010. In another part of the country almost a week earlier, Swapan Dasgupta was killed in a deliberate state sponsored murder in custody. More than their deaths, it is their lives of courage and conviction that .
unites both of them. Shahid Azmi was one of the most daring people's lawyers at a time when the hysteria of the so-called war against terror was at its peak. In his short judicial career spanning 7 years, Shahid Azmi successfully shred apart the heap of lies and propaganda in 17 cases where muslim youth were framed in false terror cases. Having been himself arrested in a false case under TADA at the age of 16, Shahid knew exactly what it meant to be cnarged under a draconian law. This motivated him to read law and by the time he was acquitted Shahid had made his mind to give his life for the defence of the oppressed and humiliated. Shahid did not confine himself to just the courtroom and combined his sharp legal acumen with an active involvement in the democratic rights movement. At the age of 32 he had had withstood many threats to his life and it was this courage and conviction to stand up for the oppressed against all odds that earned him the wrath of the state. He was shot dead at his chamber on 11 February 2010 by the hired goons of the state. At that time, he was handling the defence of over 50 muslims languishing in .

different jails booked urrder various draconian laws such as UAPA and MCOCA -including the famous Malegaon case which just some months later was conclusively proved to be the handiwork of the sangh-giroh. And going by Aseemanand's latest interview to the Caravan magazine. he had the sanction for these blasts by none other than the top rung of the RSS leadership including Mohan Bhagwat. .

Swapan Dasgupta was the editor of the Bangia People's March and owner of Radical Publications. At a time .
, .
when the corporate media has left no stone unturned to vilify people's movements, his publications brought out the .
# .
reality of revolutionary struggles in the sub-continent and the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist ideological perspective on .
several issues. Inspired by the Naxalbari Spring Thunder, no amount of intimidation could cow him down and he .
remained commrtted to the vision of revolutionary transformation for over three decades. Fer his 'crime' of givin~ .
voice to revolutionary struggles through his publications, Swapan was arrested by the Kolkata Police special branch .
on 71h Oct 2009 under UAPA. The -social fascist CPM branding him a Maoist accused him of being involved in .
publishing a banned periodical, notwithstanding the fact that the government had lifted the ban from the magazine .
just a couple of months earlier. At the time of his arrest, he was terminally ill with blood cancer, asthma and leprosy. .
Despite his serious illnesses, he was incarcerated in appalling conditions, the police subjected him to cruel mental .
and physical torture (at times not allowing him to sleep for days) and denied him blood transfusion or even .
medicines and a proper diet. A few days before his death, his friends who visrted him in jail noticed blood oozing .
from his mouth because of denial of medicines. Several civil rights organizations in Kolkata protested accusing the .
government of political persecution of dissident voices which was driving Swapan to death. As a result of the .
continuing mental and physical torture, Swapan breathed his last on 2nd Feb 2010 even before his trial began. He .
was the first martyr to die in custody under the draconian UAPA. .
In this farce of a democracy, as the Latin American writer Eduardo Galeano puts it, 'justice is a snake that .
bites only-.the barefooted.' The life histories of Shahid and Swapan are no aberrations but the rule, and the laws .
and 'justice' of the rulers in an unjust society always go against the oppressed. Even as communal-mass murderers, .
corporate looters and scamsters roam free and their activities are perfectly lawful, all those who have questioned .
injustice and exploitation are declared 'unlawful' and a threat to 'order. They are hounded, jailed, to1iured or simply .
assassinated. Amongst the many laws and provisions that the state has employed to quell the various aspirations of .
the people, the amended version of the UAPA stands out in the recent past. .
.
The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) was first enacted in 1967 in the context of a growing .
economic and political crisis and to suppress the several movements for statehood in different parts of the .

The setting is George's 2011 birthday party at his place in San Francisco. Marco and I are getting time together, when the second giant is underway.
In the original version of "The Day the Earth Stood Still", the actor playing the Einstein character says to the alien, "I have several thousand questions to ask you."
I had several thousand questions to ask Marco about "Truth is Beauty", which was half built at the time. It was a rare occasion because my trips to the City were necessarily infrequent and Marco was crazy busy.

- Marco was crazy busy, but not as crazy busy as he had been for the first giant. The second piece was built over the course of two years. Bliss Dance, the first piece, was built in one.
How they ever finished Bliss Dance in one year is a puzzle, what with all the trail blazing. no one has ever done anything like this before- and no, it was done with analog tools. CAD was used only to work up the base.
- not only that: Bliss Dance stands on one leg !

I know technically it's a grass, but where do you differentiate in mythological beasts?
