HAMILTON: 'Cause I said, you have to kill me first. I will not be raped. Of course, I never thought what I would do if, you know, I was in a position and I couldn't budge. I'd just pray to die. Dear Father, just take me. Take me on to heaven. Don't let me be raped. But, I mean, I really meant it, you know. You have to kill me first.
DOMONOSKE: She was beaten repeatedly.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
HAMILTON: That was the jail cell where they threw me on the elevator and ran the elevator up and down and beat me on the elevator. Yeah. They threw up and down. They'd say, scream, scream, you know. So - you know, nobody can hear you, Scream, scream. And just out of sheer meanness, spite, I wouldn't scream. I wouldn't scream. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction. I didn't scream at all.

C’è stato un periodo di una decina di giorni di acquazzoni improvvisi e violenti e una sera, mentre ero a una trentina di chilometri da casa, sono incappato in una delle ultime di queste bufere. Mentre ero impegnato a evitare le buche allagate e a non volare contro qualche ulivo, a un certo punto ho visto un’auto bianca ferma sull’altro lato, e una luce che si muoveva al buio. Ho pensato che gli si era fermata l’auto per la pioggia e stavano aspettando i soccorsi.
Dopo una cinquantina di metri il dubbio che non fossero ancora riusciti a chiamare nessuno mi ha terrorizzato, mi sono infilato in un viottolo, ho invertito (con gioia di quello che mi seguiva attaccato e che mi faceva fare da battistrada) e sono tornato. Ho abbassato il finestrino e mi si è avvicinato un africano, si vedevano solo gli occhi al buio e al chiarore nullo della lampada, e con qualche difficoltà mi ha detto che gli si era fermata l’auto, erano fermi lì da due ore e volevano spostarla perché era pericolo lasciarla lì.

BRACEY: I don't think I realized the significance of it, and I wish I could get that back. To me, it wasn't a fair trade, not just for me but for the time that I had with those kids for stupid things like going to buy the food together; you know, just time together that we didn't have.

Alla fine del giorno quando la morte/ verrà alla tua porta / quale tesoro tu le darai?/ A lei io donerò un'anima traboccante;/ non la lascerò a mani vuote,/ il giorno che la morte/ verrà alla mia porta.// Molte notti d'autunno e di primavera,/ molti tramonti e molte aurore,/ con molta ambrosia si sono versati nel calice della vita./ Al tocco di luci ed ombre, di gioie e di dolori/ il mio cuore si è ricolmato/ di fiori e di frutti.//
L'ultimo giorno l'ornerò/ di questo tesoro, di tutte le ricchezze/ che ho potuto raccogliere:/ il giorno che la morte/ verrà alla mia porta.

Gov. Paul LePage has long been a staunch opponent of Medicaid expansion. The Maine Legislature has passed bills to expand the insurance program five times since 2013, but the governor has vetoed each one. That track record prompted Robyn Merrill, co-chair of the coalition Mainers for Health Care, to take the matter directly to voters on Tuesday. https://media.npr.org/ass...
KATHLEEN PHELPS: Finally, finally, finally - maybe now people like myself can get the health care we need. I will have oxygen back in my home and I'll sleep good at night.

Monk, who was born 100 years ago today, was also one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. The late pianist wrote about 70 songs during his career — many of which have became standards, including the most recorded jazz composition of all time, "'Round Midnight." http://media.npr.org/asse... http://www.npr.org/2017/1...
That white woman was the Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter. She was a member of the Rothschild family and a jazz enthusiast. She became Monk's muse and his patron, giving him money, driving him to gigs and letting him rehearse and record at her home.

The Swedish furniture giant has had enough. In April 2015, a Beijing Ikea store introduced a new regulation, banning people from sleeping on furniture displays. But customers did not obey the rules. And Ikea staff members have found it difficult to implement the no-nap policy.
