Gazette 6/25/2017 1
Gazette Sunday, June 25, 2017 4800 Fillmore Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22311
GAZETTE IMPROVEMENTS In the Fall of 2016, we promised to
review the Gazette in the Spring of
2017. At the end of April, we solicited
comments and received a number of
responses. On June 14, an Ad-Hoc
Communications Committee (residents
Pat Heenan and Laura Lawson and
staff Jane Rosman and Kate Waters)
met with Gazette editor Jenny Wu to
review the responses and make
recommendations.
Based on residents’ ideas, we are
making the following changes,
beginning with next week’s Gazette:
The Weekly Schedule format will be
in two columns, similar to the text.
There will be a small vertical line
between the columns. These changes
will make the Schedule easier to read,
especially for residents with low
vision.
The Weekly Schedule will have end
notes, such as “continued” and headers
such as “Tuesday, continued” to guide
readers when a day’s events run from
one page to the next.
Articles from Departments and
Residents will be solicited quite
actively by Jenny. There has been a
dearth of article submissions, so Jenny
will reach out to resident committees,
councils, the Foundation, and Dining
for more articles.
Proofreading will be beefed up.
There will be an additional, final
proofread by volunteers right before
printing on Thursday night.
The Weekly Menu will be sent out
electronically with the Gazette on
Fridays.
As always, we welcome your
feedback. If you have any comments
or suggestions for the Gazette please
send them in writing to Jenny Wu at
[email protected] or drop her a
note in Life Enrichment.

ADMINISTRATION UPDATE Appreciation is abundant to
residents and Dining Services staff for
the success in our “amended – interim
– abbreviated” dining venues since
50% of the dining area has been taken
over by the construction. Meals are
working exceptionally well due to
residents cooperation and use of the
reservation system. Dining in the
Employee Dining Room is exceeding
everyone’s expectations. Sterling
Lindsay, Chef Derek Campbell, Chef
Howard Henry, Manager Tonita Butler,
and Dave Baker extend their
appreciation to everyone for making
dining successful during this first
phase of the EBI. Well done, everyone

WWII INTERVIEW: BARBARA CURRIE This week’s video features Barbara
Currie on Channel 971 at 10:00 a.m.
Tuesday, June 27 and 2:00 p.m. on
Thursday, June 29.
Barbara was 13 years old when
Great Britain announced it was going
to war against Germany. The next day
Barbara’s parents presented her with
choices she had to make immediately:
Move to Northern England with her
boarding school; move to Ireland with
younger cousins; stay in London with
her parents. Barbara chose to stay.
This story is about how Barbara, her
parents, her brother, and her neighbors
coped with Germany’s mounting
aggression. Each person in the London
area had a “war job” in addition to a
regular job. Even 13-year-old Barbara
had a significant responsibility to care
for an elderly neighbor.
The video features a description of
Barbara’s brother’s “wartime job.” He
was a medical student in London.
When a major bombing happened, the
entire medical school would be taken
immediately to the site. Each student
provided help at the level of his
training. The immediacy of this aid
given to the wounded before they
could be moved to a hospital was
considered critical.

JUNE BOOK REVIEW Jay Warshawsky will review
Nutshell by Ian McEwan on Tuesday,
June 27, at 3:00 p.m. in the new
Auditorium.
Nutshell is a clever contemporary
version of William Shakespeare’s
Hamlet.
The protagonists are Trudy and her
lovers and brother-in-law, Claude.
The narrator of the tale is Hamlet,
Trudy’s unborn baby. Within Trudy’s
uterus Hamlet listens to podcasts and
the BBC with his
mother, and he
shares her interest
in wines. While
eavesdropping,
Hamlet becomes
privy to a scheme
hatched by Trudy
and Claude to kill
his father, Trudy’s
husband, and take
ownership of his father’s dilapidated
but valuable London house.
As the lovers plan what they hope
will be a perfect crime, Hamlet
schemes to thwart their actions from
his confined location within Trudy’s
body. The story does not follow
Shakespeare’s sequence, so the end of
Nutshell is something of a cliffhanger.
The plot and McEwan’s language keep
the reader engaged to the last page.
Jay, an electrical engineer, studied at
the Illinois Institute of Technology,
and Purdue and Northwestern. He has
performed research and development
for commercial and government
organizations. As a life-long fan of the
Chicago Cubs, he was delighted when
they ended a 108-year drought and
won the World Series in 2016.
All are welcome to hear this
interesting review.

Macbeth (1971), 2h 20min, Biography, Drama, History.
Shakespeare's ruthlessly ambitious Scottish lord seizes the throne with the
help of his scheming wife and a trio of witches. Director Roman Polanski
choses a younger pair of villains with Jon Finch in the title role and Francesca
Annis portraying Lady MacBeth. Themes of historic recurrence, greater
pessimism, and internal ugliness in physically beautiful characters are added
to Shakespeare's story of moral decline, presented in a more realistic style.

The Verdict (1982), 2h 9 min, Drama. David Mamet's screenplay is about
a boozing Boston lawyer (Paul Newman) who takes on a law-firm dean
(James Mason), the Archdiocese of Boston, and the system in general.
Paul Newman stars as Frank Galvin, the lawyer who tries to redeem his
personal and professional reputation by winning a difficult medical
malpractice case of a woman who has been left in a coma following an
operation in a large Catholic hospital. Helped by his assistant Mickey (Jack
Warden), he takes the case, hoping for a fast settlement. He is also assisted by
his new girlfriend, Laura (Charlotte Rampling).
