All-American Woman?
She couldn't stay Laura Petrie. And her character on The Mary Tyler Moore Show was a feminist icon. But then again we shouldn't mistake actresses for the characters they play.
Why Mary Tyler Moore Refused to Join the Feminist Movement
Still, she was involved in that show, and the consequences (in the studio and outside in the real world) were serious. Kyrie eleison.

CWR: The Tailors of Tooley Street: Reflections on the Ivory Tower and Reality By Fr. George William Rutler
We may be learning that those who claim to speak of the people, by the people, and for the people, may not really know the people.

The Young Pope May Be More Right on "Ecumenicalism"*
than Catholics think...
This was a more interesting photo...
*Did the scriptwriter for The Young Pope not check a dictionary before using that word instead of ecumenism?

"Han"
I made a comment to a friend over the weekend of 12/18 about being Chinese, someone also of Canto background. If the central government of China is every successful in stamping out Cantonese I think I'd have little reason to identify as Chinese in any way. I do identify as Cantonese with respect to my heritage, family lineage, family history, and family culture, so if Cantonese were to disappear, what link would I have to a dominated people that has become culturally extinct?
What sort of genetic/genealogical relationship really exists between the different peoples that make up the Han ethnic group? There are significant differences in appearance, over a range. Even if all of the Han peoples of China are part of one larger group, there is no necessity for them to have the same language. That is the totalitarian impulse of a centralizing political authority. As an identity "Cantonese" expresses more of the specificity (though it may not be the most refined one, as Chinese identity would be specific to village and clan) reflecting subjective reality than just "Chinese."
