We have all enjoyed those milestones of animation: Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland. But some sequences have marked us more than others. This Volume 2 aims at analyzing why. The book makes us share the slow process of their achievement, from the first preliminary concepts to the final product. This way, we can better assess the difficulties, the choices, the challenges that the Disney artists were confronted with. Not only the animators, but all those unsung people from storymen to clean-ups, musicians or inkers. It is an opportunity to be better acquainted with people who are less known. But the reader will also find more information about how the greatest animators worked. The text is filled with hundreds of extracts from exclusive interviews that the author has conducted through all those years.The set of 10 sequences which are analyzed here are a real kaleidoscope: deep sadness with a jailed mother elephant cradling her son or a fawn losing his mother. Utter delirium with a parade of pink elephants or a mad tea party. Suspense with a fight between two stags. Fun with a laborious skating lesson by a rabbit or dancing the Samba and the jitterbug.

"For millions of years, Love has been honoured through nature, forests, temples, and stars. It has the advantage of being omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Love is unique and eternal; indestructible.Throughout the history of worlds and peoples, Love has always been an attempt to understand what God, the Creator, the Source, is. Many have looked outside themselves and found nothing, for the secret of Love is within ourselves. It is that space which makes this vibration immortal.This vibration, which timelessly radiates through your soul, has the ability to transmute all suffering, yet its primary ability is Unity. The progression of this strong vibration through the Universe creates Unity, and so it becomes a primordial essence, the essence from which all is realised.See in this book the revelation of your Love so that it unifies with the primordial essence. You will find your purest unity in this space of infinite vibration which is none other than that of the Source.Amen." Isis

Operation Pedro Pan opened the door to the United States for more than fourteen thousand unaccompanied Cuban children. How did this come to be called Operation Pedro Pan? It was important from the very beginning that we in Miami avoided anything that could jeopardize the exodus, or the people in Cuba who worked to make it possible. We were never under the illusion that the Cuban government was unaware of what we were doing, nor that any publicity could easily have been used as propaganda to provoke some reaction. Therefore, we remained silent. Inevitably the Miami press discovered what was going on. When they came to me looking for a story, I told them the truth; but I asked them not to report it. The press cooperated and gave our work the code name Operation Pedro Pan, perhaps because the first unaccompanied Cuban child who arrived in Miami under our protection was named Pedro Menéndez. Relying on the testimonies of just some of those fourteen thousand refugee children, and of some of the adults who helped them, Josefina Leyva tells their stories.

Ethan Lewis, dubbed ¿Poet laureate of Hawthorne Place,¿ writes daily, stopped only perhaps by night time: ¿But then again, bed beckons: ¿It is time. / You satisfied exigencies of rhyme.¿¿ Doesn¿t he declare, ¿Pentameter helps pass the time¿? Maybe it is a way for him to keep away, at least for a while, ¿our fate: to disappear¿; and does he know how to cry for a departed friend: ¿Our loss. Your gentle soul and kindest life.¿ Ethan Lewis does not ignore what he owes to other poets before him, whom he cites: William Blake, William Shakespeare, Homer, Charles Baudelaire, Ezra Pound, Emily Dickinson, Robert Burns, John Wilmot, and so many others. Time is passing, but ¿rhymes sill limn the present century.¿ Ethan Lewis admits ¿the objective subjectivity of time¿ and, as a lucid poet, plays with it. Love comes and goes, but, as a visionary, Ethan Lewis can state: ¿I presage a renaissance of love.¿ Music inhabits his poems, and he celebrates many composers who have influenced him, from Sebastian Bach to Anton Bruckner, Charpentier to Corelli, Mendelssohn, with a deep knowledge and a bright kindness.As a man living in Springfield, Ethan Lewis purposely writes poems about Chicago
