Simon’s Cat by Simon Tofield
JUST Added!
The feline Internet phenomenon makes his way onto the page in this first-ever book based on the popular animated series. Based on Simon Tofield’s animations that have taken YouTube by storm, SIMON’S CAT depicts and exaggerates the hilarious relationship between a man and his cat. The daily escapades of this adorable pet, which always involve demanding more food, and his exasperated but doting owner, come to life through simple black-and-white line drawings. With a huge fan following that is growing even larger by the day, SIMON’S CAT is set to become a major new comic creation.
• Simon Tofield’s three short Simon’s Cat animations have received 21.9 million hits on YouTube in less than a year! • As seen by the success of the # 1 New York Times bestseller Dewey (GCP 2008), books about cats and their relationships with their owners are hugely popular with readers. • SIMON’S CAT will appeal to fans of I Can Has Cheezburger?, a feline-focused Web site that became a New York Times bestselling book (Gotham, 2008). • Simon’s Cat has won a number of awards, including YouTube’s Blockbuster Award and Best Comedy at the British Animation Awards.

Maurice BASKINE Né en 1901 à Kharkov Russie), mort en 1968 à Paris.
Successivement employé de banque, comptable,
représentant de commerce, il découvrit l’alchimie en 1937 dans la Lettre du Cosmopolite d’Alexandre Séthon, et commença à chercher la pierre philosophale dans la villa de Fontenay-sous-Bois qu’il habitait avec sa femme. En s’inspirant du symbolisme des alchimistes, il fabriqua aussi des images peintes et des objets en plâtre coloré de façon à imiter la matière du Grand Œuvre. En 1945, il exposa à la galerie Katia Granoff Le Temple du Mas, qui attira l’attention de Jean Dubuffet. Lors de l’Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme de 1947, il présenta chez Maeght Le Mas goth, figurant à la fois une double tête de Janus et une mandragore. André Breton lui demanda d’illustrer de trois eaux-fortes l’édition de luxe d’Arcane 17 (édition de 1947). Maurice Baskine inventa la « fantasophie », système de pensée comparable à une philosophie de la fantaisie (ou du fantasme). Se qualifiant de « dernier des Alchimistes, premier Fantasophe », Maurice Baskine était effarouché par le public : il demeura sans voix au début d’une conférence contre les prophéties de Nostradamus que ses amis surréalistes lui avaient demandé de faire à l’Hôtel Lutétia. Sa femme s’étant séparée de lui, il s’installa en 1951 dans la mansarde d’un immeuble du boulevard Edgar Quinet. Simone Collinet le soutint en lui organisant deux expositions à la galerie Furstenberg (en 1952 et en 1957), et une présentation d’un seul jour (le 6 octobre 1954) de son retable La Mère folle (Paris, Musée d’Art moderne). En 1964, Baskine exposa son triptyque Fantasophopolis (2 x 5m) à la rétrospective du Surréalisme de la galerie Charpentier, et en 1968, Le Conquérant de l’espace au Salon de Mai. Il a peint en technique mixte des séries : Androgynes, Les Travaux, Personnages aux sceaux, Ogives, Prophètes. Son principal collectionneur, Jean Saucet, montra en 1990 tout ce qu’il possédait de lui au Grenier du Chapitre de Cahors. Depuis lors, la plupart des œuvres de Mau-

rice Basquine – y compris son album d’encres Bacchanales, ses suites Les Treize Heures de ma Mère l’Oye (36 planches), Cris de lumière captés dans l’Un-fini (33 planches) – sont conservées par le musée d’Art moderne de Cordes-sur-Ciel, dans le Tarn. Cette petite cité médiévale du temps des Cathares possède une Maison des Surréalistes où l’on peut se renseigner sur la fantasophie et voir le film Maurice Baskine de Jean Desvilles, commenté par Paul Sanda.
Hans BELLMER Né en 1902 à Katowice, Silésie, mort en 1975 à Paris.
Pour obéir à la volonté de son père qui était ingé-
nieur et voulait lui imposer ce métier, Bellmer dut travailler dans une mine de charbon, puis dans une aciérie, avant de s’inscrire en 1923 à la Technische Hochschule de Berlin. Il ne tarda pas à abandonner ses études, afin de se livrer tout entier à sa passion du dessin. Il s’initia à cet art auprès de George Grosz, et travailla comme typographe aux éditions Malik, réalisant aussi des illustrations et des couvertures de livres. En 1927, devenu dessinateur en publicité industrielle, il se maria et ouvrit une agence à Berlin-Karlshorst. Diverses circonstances – la découverte d’une caisse contenant ses jouets d’enfant, une représentation des Contes d’Hoffmann mis en scène par Max Reinhardt – l’incitèrent à inventer une « fille artificielle ». En 1933, décidant d’interrompre toute activité utile à l’État pour protester contre le nazisme, il entreprit la construction de cette poupée, avec l’aide de sa femme, de son frère et d’une petite cousine ; quelques manches à balais assemblés et articulés composèrent son squelette. Il la photographia en différentes positions, développa à son sujet une mythologie qu’il exprima dans un livre publié à compte d’auteur. Ces photos enthousiasmèrent les surréalistes, qui présentèrent sa Poupée en 1935 dans Minotaure. Bellmer poursuivit ses recherches, dans le but de recréer l’anatomie de la femme, fabriqua en 1937 une seconde Poupée com-

27 août 1938, en voulant séparer deux camarades prêts à en venir aux mains, Brauner perdit un œil en recevant une bouteille lancée par Dominguez. On s’aperçut alors qu’il avait prédit cet accident dans sa peinture : sept ans plus tôt, il avait fait son autoportrait avec un œil énucléé, et depuis, il avait peint toutes sortes de tableaux évoquant des scènes d’éborgnement. Le Dr Pierre Mabille, qui le soigna, a donné une interprétation psychanalytique de ces prémonitions dans L’Œil du peintre, article paru en 1939 dans Minotaure. Dès que Brauner put se remettre à peindre, il changea radicalement de manière ; il entra dans ce qu’on appelle sa « période des Chimères » ou « période des crépuscules », comportant des apparitions de créatures hallucinantes dans des lieux envahis par la pénombre. Pendant la guerre, réfugié dans un village des Basses-Alpes, il évolua vers une période magique, avec des scènes hiératiques, construites selon le symbolisme des hermètes (Stable Instable, 1942, Paris, Musée d’Art moderne), faisant des tableaux à la cire sur carton (Strigoï la somnambule, 1946 ; Progression pantaculaire, 1948, New York, Museum of Modern Art). Après avoir joué un rôle actif dans l’organisation de l’Exposition internationale du Surréalisme de 1947 chez Maeght, il rompit en 1948 avec le groupe surréaliste, et fit une importante rétrospective à la galerie Drouin. Il se lança dans un cycle de peintures autobiographiques, exprimant une mythologie égocentrique, débutant par son grand tableau La Rencontre avec moi-même. En 1951, il commença la série des Rétractés, visions d’angoisse extrêmement puissantes, puis son esprit se rassérénant, il aborda la période des Outils spirituels. Dans ses deux dernières expositions à la galerie Iolas à Paris, en 1964 et 1966, il avait réussi à renouveler complètement la technique et le contenu de son inspiration. Sa rétrospective itinérante, organisée en 1965 par le Museum des 20. Jahrhunderts de Vienne, accrut son prestige européen. Entre son atelier de Montmartre et sa propriété de Varengeville, il se livra à des
20

spéculations philosophico-lyriques sur la nature et l’homme qui allèrent souvent plus loin que le surréalisme proprement dit. L’État français étant devenu l’héritier de la plupart des œuvres de Victor Brauner grâce à la donation de sa veuve Jacqueline, le centre Georges-Pompidou a réalisé en 1996 l’exposition « Victor Brauner dans les collections du MNAM-CCI (accompagné d’un catalogue dirigé par Didier Semin), et a publié en 2005 l’énorme livre Victor Brauner, Écrits et correspondances 1938-1948, révélant une partie des archives de l’artiste qui y sont conservées.
André BRETON Né en 1896 à Tinchebray, mort en 1966 à Paris.
En 1913, il commença à Paris ses études de médecine qu’il continua pendant la guerre, où il fut affecté à un centre neurologique de Nantes, puis au service psychiatrique de la IIe Armée à Saint-Dizier. En relation avec Apollinaire et de jeunes poètes, il voulut d’emblée dégager les formes d’une poésie nouvelle, qui ne serait plus soumise au contrôle de la raison, mais se présenterait comme un message de l’inconscient. Il fonda en 1919 la revue Littérature avec Louis Aragon et Philippe Soupault, et en fit son premier organe de combat. Accueillant à Paris Tzara, le responsable du dadaïsme, il prit la tête du mouvement Dada parisien de 1920 à 1922, contribuant à lui donner toute sa violence polémique. Il condamna ensuite Dada, qu’il jugeait insuffisant en regard des nécessités modernes, et se lança avec ses amis dans l’aventure surréaliste. En 1924, il publia le Manifeste du surréalisme et fonda la Révolution surréaliste ; une suite de manifestations, de scandales, de tracts, appuya les revendications de tous ces créateurs. Dans le Surréalisme et la Peinture (1929), livre annonciateur d’un autre art de vision, il demanda aux peintres de ne plus chercher leur modèle audehors, mais exclusivement au-dedans d’eux-mêmes. Affirmant ses conceptions par des conférences à Bruxelles, à Prague et à Mexico, par des ouvrages de

lui dicta ses tableaux, comme Six apparition de Lénine sur un piano (1931, Paris, Musée d’Art moderne), ses livres, comme La Femme visible (1931) et La Conquête de l’Irrationnel (1935), et même tous ses actes. C’est au nom de la « paranoïa critique » que Dalí apparaîtra dans un scaphandre, tenant en laisse deux lévriers blancs, à l’Exposition surréaliste de Londres en 1936, ou qu’il débarquera à New York en brandissant un pain de 2,50 m fabriqué pour la circonstance. De 1940 à 1945, réfugié aux Etats-Unis et vivant près de Hollywood, il poursuivit son entreprise frénétique : c’est là qu’il reçut l’anathème d’André Breton le surnommant « Avida Dollars » et le rejetant du surréalisme à cause de sa vénalité. À son retour en Europe, Dalí appliqua l’activité « paranoïaque-critique » à l’exaltation de thèmes monarchistes et religieux. Sa « période mystique » débuta avec La Madone de Port Lligat (1950), où il représenta Gala en Madone, et avec la publication en latin de son Manifeste mystique (1951). Elle fut doublée d’une « période nucléaire » qui s’amorça avec Tête raphaélesque éclatée (1951). Ensuite, il n’a cessé de faire succéder des manifestations diverses – conférence en décembre 1955 à la Sorbonne sur l’analogie entre le rhinocéros et le chou-fleur, organisation à l’hôtel Meurice, en 1967, d’une exposition de « peintres-pompiers », etc. –, des œuvres originales – illustration de Don Quichotte en se servant d’une arquebuse aux balles remplies d’encre –, et des autobiographies du genre de Journal d’un génie. Ses créations ultérieures, comme les quarante-deux gravures de son Hommage à Dürer (1971) ou son livre de cuisine illustré de collage Les Dîners de Gala (1971), témoignent encore d’un curieux alliage de tradition académique et de sens inné de l’avant-garde. Sa virtuosité se déploya également dans une huile sur toile, Dalí de dos peignant Gala de dos éternisée par six cornées virtuelles provisoirement réfléchies par six miroirs (1972-1973, Figueras, fondation GalaSalvador Dalí), œuvre stéréoscopique en deux panneaux, l’un pour l’œil droit, l’autre pour l’œil gauche.

Nommé marquis de Pubol par le roi Juan Carlos, Dalí prépara son musée de Figueras en résidant dans sa maison de Port Lligat. Le 10 juin 1982, la mort de Gala, âgée de quatre-vingt-huit ans, lui provoqua un choc terrible. Il n’arriva plus à peindre et, après avoir été gravement brûlé dans l’incendie de sa chambre le 30 avril 1984, termina sa vie en se claustrant dans la Tour Galatea de son musée.
Frédéric DELANGLADE Né en 1907 à Bordeaux, mort en 1970 à Montfavet.
Fils du chansonnier Jean Marsac, directeur du cabaret La Lune rousse, il se consacra à la peinture dès 1928 à Paris. Sa première exposition à la galerie Esperanza, en 1932, fit dire de lui : "Il peint comme il rêve". Il suivit pendant quatre ans l’enseignement psychiatrique de l’hôpital Sainte-Anne, où il exécuta en 1936 une fresque pour les murs de la salle de garde. En présentant au Salon des Surindépendants son Appareil à liquider les complexes, il intéressa André Breton qui l’accueillit aussitôt dans le groupe surréaliste. En 1939, Delanglade fut l’organisateur de l’exposition Le Rêve dans l’art et la littérature, à la Galerie contemporaine, 36 rue de Seine, où il montra beaucoup de dessins d’aliénés. Pendant la guerre, fait prisonnier par les Allemands, il se servit d’une bougie allumée pour dessiner au noir de fumée, en déclarant : « Ni les tortures, ni les prisons ne contraindront la marche irrésistible de mes rêves. » Il s’évada du camp de Bar-le-Duc, résida en 1941 à Marseille et y participa à la réalisation du jeu de cartes des surréalistes. Ce fut d’ailleurs lui, quand André Dimanche les édita, qui unifia le trait de tous les dessins afin d’harmoniser l’ensemble. En 1942, il se cacha dans l’asile de Rodez dirigé par son ami le docteur Gaston Ferdière, et eut une bonne influence sur Antonin Artaud, qu’il incita à dessiner : « Je l’entraînai dans l’atelier où je peignais en dehors de toute contrainte, pour “l’amuser” avec des couleurs. C’est là qu’il esquissa avec un grand soin mon portrait au fusain, qu’il effaça et recommença plusieurs fois. »

Renowned as Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-eminent black-and-white landscape photographer, Ansel Adams began to photograph in color soon after Kodachrome ďŹ lm was invented in the mid 1930s. He made nearly 3,500 color photographs, a small fraction of which were published for the ďŹ rst time in the 1993 edition of ANSEL ADAMS IN COLOR.

A
landmark publication that sheds new light on the work and working methods of Norman Rockwell, America’s most celebrated illustrator. NORMAN ROCKWELL: BEHIND THE CAMERA is the first book to explore the meticulously composed and richly detailed photographs that Norman Rockwell used to create his famous artworks. Working alongside skilled photographers, Rockwell acted as director, carefully orchestrating models, selecting props, and choosing locations for the photographs—works of art in their own right—that served as the basis of his iconic images. In this groundbreaking book, author and historian Ron Schick delves into the archive of nearly 20,000 photographs housed at the Norman Rockwell Museum. Featuring reproductions of Rockwell’s black-and-white photographs and related full-color artworks, along with an incisive narrative and quotes from Rockwell models and family members, this book will intrigue anyone interested in photography, art, and Americana. • A tie-in touring exhibition opens at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in November 2009. • Rockwell’s study photographs have never been examined or collected for publication or exhibition. • The introduction is by Stephanie Plunkett, chief curator of the Norman Rockwell Museum. The foreword is by John Rockwell, Norman Rockwell’s grandson and president of the Norman Rockwell Family Agency.

Advance praise for NORMAN ROCKWELL: BEHIND THE CAMERA: “What a wonderful book this is—and what a rare behindthe-scenes look at the artistic process it provides. So many of the moments we see as impossibly idealized versions of us, are in fact us. Rockwell’s genius improves with this ‘backstage’ glance.”

The Museum Reference Center at the Norman Rockwell Museum, custodian of the Rockwell familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s papers and ephemera, houses the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection of photographs and negatives. Many work prints survive, bearing telltale wear and tear from their use as daily tools in the hands of the artist and his assistants. More than eighteen thousand of Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acetate-based negatives exist, albeit in deteriorating condition. With lead funding in from the federal Save Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Treasures program, the museum has digitized the negative collection, an effort that has not only preserved this precious resource but has, for the ďŹ rst time, made these images accessible. I am grateful to have been among the ďŹ rst to explore this digital archive, making possible this book, whose realization I have imagined for a decade. The digital archive includes scans of negatives in formats ranging from ďŹ ve by seven inches to thirty-ďŹ ve millimeters. For selection and presentation in this volume, I have established protocols that respect both the integrity of the photographs and their function as working tools. Many of the images are reproduced full frame. In cases where the subject was photographed against a backdrop, commonly a folding screen, I have often framed the image at the edge of the backdrop, editing out extraneous information at the sides of the frame that the artist himself clearly intended to eliminate. The compositions of some images are so close to the ďŹ nished work that I have adjusted their framing to allow the photograph and painting to align. And, ďŹ nally, in several instances I have montaged details of separate photographs to illustrate how Rockwell combined images into a uniďŹ ed composition. Norman Rockwell did not log the dates his photographs were created; dates given are publication dates of the ďŹ nal work. Except where such information is relevant to the story of a particular image, I have not attempted to identify Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many models. However, the memories many have shared with me in interviews conducted for this book have added detail and insight to my understanding of Norman Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working method.
AFTERWORD
Acknowledgments
Notes
The contributions of many people have made this book possible. John Rockwell, representing the Norman Rockwell Family Agency, has been unfailingly supportive from the beginning, and I thank him for his enthusiastic participation at every stage. At Little, Brown and Company, my editor and friend, Michael Sand, deserves great credit and my gratitude for seeing the possibilities from the ďŹ rst and for steering this book to a happy conclusion. The contributions of Barbara Nelson, Zinzi Clemmons, and Peggy Freudenthal at Little, Brown have been invaluable. At the Norman Rockwell Museum, I thank Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, deputy director and chief curator, for her skillful shepherding of this endeavor through to publication and its parallel traveling exhibition, sponsored by the Norman Rockwell Museum. In the Museum Reference Center, Linda Szekely Peroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge of all facets of Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is limitless. I am grateful to Linda and Corry Kanzenberg for their collegial support, as well as to Rob Doane and Ellen Mazzer. I appreciate the generosity of the Rockwell models who have shared their time with me in interviews for this book. Ardis Edgerton Clark, Dick Clemens, Wray Gunn, Maurice Leavitt, Ed Locke, Betsy Campbell Manning, Smitty Pignatelli, Edward Schreiber, and Charlotte Ripley Sorenson brought a personal dimension to my understanding of Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s methods. I am grateful to Mary Whalen Leonard, who made me feel as though I were in the room as she posed in Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio. Particular thanks go to Norman Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three sons, Tom, Peter, and Jarvis, for sharing their thoughts and recollections. Doug Munson and Oleg Baburin of Chicago Albumen Works, creators of the Rockwell negative scans, generously provided technical guidance. Jennifer Brown at Sothebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, David Blackmer of Curtis Publishing, Mary Seitz-Pagano at the Norman Rockwell Estate Licensing Company, Robert E. Livesey of Cortina Learning International, William N. Elam, III, Image Photos, Rosemary Schneyer and Barbara Allen of the Stockbridge Library, Kim von Tempsky and Ron Muromoto at Lahaina Galleries, Ronald Garmey of Nixon Peabody LLP, and M. Stephen Doherty of American Artist magazine each provided key elements for this publication. David Kassnoff

Henry Sweets, curator of the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum, and Michael Hendricks of MBI/Easton Press made possible the inclusion of Rockwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Sawyer illustration in my text.

My personal thanks go to John Charles Thomas for his sound counsel and to Ken Werner for his advice and sharp red pencil. Finally, the greatest thanks go to my wife, Julia Van Haaften, and daughters, Madeline and Lauren.

remembering jackie BY THE EDITORS OF LIFE The life of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was filled with drama, beauty, grace, and style. On the arm of the dashing young senator from Massachusetts—the man who would be President—she captured the nation’s imagination, and then its heart. LIFE magazine was there for every chapter in her thrilling journey; she made the magazine’s cover years before she made it to the White House. Here, in a pictorial biography featuring the work of several of LIFE’s most famous shooters, we re-visit not only the glorious years of Camelot in Washington, but also Jackie’s later life as a dedicated and proud mother to John Jr. and Caroline in New York City.

the classic collection: wonders of the world BY THE EDITORS OF LIFE In the new LIFE book, Wonders of the World, the editors return to the sites of the original Seven Wonders and then keep right on traveling around the globe—eventually visiting in words and pictures seven-times-seven Wonders, plus one more. With over 100 photographs, there are old wonders here and a new list offered by the New7Wonders Foundation, a Switzerland-based organization that conducted an online poll that saw more than a million votes cast for the world’s greatest Wonders. There are man-made Wonders and natural Wonders. There are obscure Wonders and famous Wonders.
includes 7 o rem vable prints
Finally, there are LIFE’s Seven Wonders, a classic collection if ever there was one. These vintage images from the famous LIFE magazine photography archive are presented as removable, collectible prints that are more than suitable for framing. When readers remove any print from the book, the picture still appears in place on the page beneath, so the elegant volume remains intact. This book, with its bonus prints, is something of a Wonder in and of itself. Fifty Wonders in all, each more wondrous than the last. A reader cannot help being amazed and inspired by what man’s industry has built through time, and what sublime Wonders nature has graced us with.

angels and miracles heavenly messengers and extraordinary signs from God BY AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY Richly illustrated, Angels and Miracles presents brief excerpts from the Holy Scriptures depicting the many awesome ways God breaks into the natural world to make the His divine presence felt. Each excerpt is accompanied by helpful commentary that sheds light on how God uses angels (God’s messengers) and seemingly impossible events to communicate timeless truths to the faithful, the down-trodden, the lost—and even to God’s most stubborn enemies. Discover through these compelling stories how the ancients took courage from the heavenly beings they encountered and the miraculous events they witnessed. Were these the primitive beliefs of a bygone era? Or are they perhaps glimpses into another dimension, one that clashes with a modern Western worldview? Revisit these familiar stories and decide for yourself.

Miracles miracles why
An entire world spoken into existence, A sea parted, leaving a path of dry land in its wake, The dead brought back to life, The sick restored to health . . . These kinds of extraordinary events appear throughout the Bible. For those who witnessed them, these events, often referred to as miracles, were signs that pointed to a larger meaning. When Moses, for example, stumbled across something like a bush that burned but was not consumed, it not only got his attention—it gave credence to the message he received at the site.
THE BIBLE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF DEUTERONOMY 29:2–6
Moses called the nation of Israel together and told them: When you were in Egypt, you saw the LORD perform great miracles that caused trouble for the king, his officials, and everyone else in the country. He has even told you, “For 40 years I, the LORD, led you through the desert, but your clothes and your sandals didn’t wear out, and I gave you special food. I did these things so you would realize that I am your God.” But the LORD must give you a change of heart before you truly understand what you have seen and heard.
Likewise, for Judeans living in the first century, Jesus’ miracles drew attention to his ministry and revealed an authority and power the likes of which they had never seen before. The miracles of Jesus demonstrated God’s love for the people (Luke 4.18-21) and announced the presence of the Kingdom of God. JOB 37:4–7
In the ancient world, the extraordinary acts we refer to as miracles today were often unexplainable by the expectations, common at the time, of how nature works. Because of their extraordinary nature, these miracles got people’s attention, motivating them to consider the source. The events themselves did not create faith, but often were performed for those who already had faith, giving evidence of the hand of God at work on behalf of humanity. As we read about these miracles today, they invite us, as well, to consider a power beyond ourselves. EXODUS 34:10
A Reading from Deuteronomy 4:35–36 The LORD wants you to know he is the only true God, and he wants you to obey him. That’s why he let you see his mighty miracles and his fierce fire on earth, and why you heard his voice from that fire and from the sky.
The LORD said: I promise to perform miracles for you that have never been seen anywhere on earth. Neighboring nations will stand in fear and know that I was the one who did these marvelous things.
“God’s majestic voice thunders his commands, creating miracles too marvelous for us to understand. Snow and heavy rainstorms make us stop and think about God’s power.”
1 CHRONICLES 16:11–12

Supernatural supernatural fascination with the
Why are people fascinated with all things supernatural?
In all likelihood, because when we marvel or experience awe, we are intrigued by the thought of a world beyond the one we can experience.
Jesus worked many other miracles for his disciples, and not all of them are written in this book. But these are written so that you will put your faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. If you have faith in him, you will have true life. – John 20:30–31
The thrill we feel at the possibility of the supernatural is somewhat like the thrill a child experiences when listening to a scary story— We feel the suspense of not knowing what will happen next, of considering a world where someone or something is not obliged to obey the laws we are bound to, and to know there might be something beyond what we experience with our five senses. The Bible is a book that offers questions as well as answers about the supernatural world. While the people who experienced the extraordinary events described throughout this book held a different perspective on them than the perspective of the modern world, their stories still speak to us. In this modern world where we have so many answers at our fingertips, these events remind us of the mystery that is a part of life and faith. A Reading from Mark 9:14-24 When Jesus and his three disciples came back down, they saw a large crowd around the other disciples.The teachers of the Law of Moses were arguing with them. The crowd was really surprised to see Jesus, and everyone hurried over to greet him. Jesus asked,“What are you arguing about?” Someone from the crowd answered,“Teacher, I brought my son to you. A demon keeps him from talking.Whenever the demon attacks my son, it throws him to the ground and makes him foam at the mouth and grit his teeth in pain.Then he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to force out the demon, but they couldn’t do it.” Jesus said,“You people don’t have any faith! How much longer must I be with you?Why do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” They brought the boy, and as soon as the demon saw Jesus, it made the boy shake all over. He fell down and began rolling on the ground and foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the boy’s father,“How long has he been like this?” The man answered,“Ever since he was a child.The demon has often tried to kill him by throwing him into a fire or into water. Please have pity and help us if you can!” Jesus replied,“Why do you say `if you can’? Anything is possible for someone who has faith!” Right away the boy’s father shouted,“I do have faith! Please help me to have even more.”
THE BIBLE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF MARK 16:20
Then the disciples left and preached everywhere. The Lord was with them, and the miracles they worked proved that their message was true. ACTS 14:3
Paul and Barnabas stayed there for a while, having faith in the Lord and bravely speaking his message. The Lord gave them the power to work miracles and wonders, and he showed that their message about his gift of undeserved grace was true.

The word miracle usually brings to mind that which is thought impossible—that which defies the laws of nature. But the reason for a miracle is just as important as its occurrence.
Many Old Testament miracles were understood to be signs of God’s judgment—a catastrophic flood, the destruction of wicked cities, or the plagues of Egypt, for example. Others were viewed as God’s protection—the sun stopped in its tracks to help an army win or an enemy army struck blind. There were also miracles of deliverance and salvation. After leaving Egypt, the Israelites crossed the dry bed of a parted sea; they ate a steady diet of miraculously supplied quail and manna in the desert; and they experienced a deliverance from venomous snake bites. There were also great escapes, like Daniel’s deliverance from the lion’s den and the protection of his companions in the fiery furnace. The New Testament records many healing miracles, both during and after the ministry of Jesus. Those who were paralyzed walked again. The dead came back to life. Jesus also performed miracles to provide for people’s most basic needs—multiplying food and calming storms. All these miracles served to suggest a spiritual realm that exists beyond the world as we know it.

Creation creation
ANGELS
When considering what many consider to be the miracles of the Bible, perhaps no account engenders more debate than the creation narrative of Genesis 1. Some view the account as an either/or kind of proposition—a scientific process or a God-induced process. For those ancients who first heard and interacted with this account, however, no such schism existed. These ancients viewed the world far more synthetically, more like a stage which both humanity and deity interacted with each other. However the modern world chooses to define the process used, according to Genesis, God spoke the world into existence. The first chapter of the Bible describes a six-day structure with God resting from his creative work on the seventh day. A Reading from Genesis 1:1–2:2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth . . . God said,“I command light to shine!” And light started shining. God . . . named the light “Day” and the darkness “Night” . . . —that was the first day. God said,“I command a dome to separate the water above it from the water below it.” And that’s what happened. God . . . named it “Sky” . . . —that was the second day. God said,“I command the water under the sky to come together in one place, so there will be dry ground” . . .“I command the earth to produce all kinds of plants, including fruit trees and grain.” And that’s what happened . . . —that was the third day. God said,“I command lights to appear in the sky and to separate day from night and to show the time for seasons, special days, and years . . .” God made two powerful lights, the brighter one to rule the day and the other to rule the night. He also made the stars . .. —that was the fourth day. God said,“I command the ocean to be full of living creatures, and I command birds to fly above the earth.” So God made the giant sea monsters and all the living creatures that swim in the ocean. He also made every kind of bird . . . —that was the fifth day. God said,“I command the earth to give life to all kinds of tame animals, wild animals, and reptiles” . . . God said,“Now we will make humans, and they will be like us.We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures” . . . God looked at what he had done. All of it was very good. . . . —that was the sixth day.
CHAPTER 1
MIRACLES
Miracle in the Mirror In the Genesis account, God made human beings on the sixth day of creation. Just as nature reveals a variety of designs working together to sustain life, the human body is like a curtain that, when pulled back, reveals one intricate system after another. We need look no further than our own reflection to see the mystery of God’s design. A drop of our blood contains about 250 million cells. There are 1,300 nerve endings in just one square inch of our hand. For the duration of our lives, our hearts never rest for more than a second.
Creation Described from a Different Point of View The Bible teaches that God created the world by his wisdom. Proverbs 8 is written from the first person perspective of Wisdom personified. In this account, Wisdom describes the world before it took the form that we recognize— oceans, springs, clouds, fields, dust—and describes her own role in the process.
PROVERBS 22:8-31 “ From the beginning, I was with the LORD. I was there before he began to create the earth. At the very first, the LORD gave life to me. When I was born, there were no oceans or springs of water. My birth was before mountains were formed or hills were put in place. It happened long before God had made the earth or any of its fields or even the dust. I was there when the LORD put the heavens in place and stretched the sky over the surface of the sea. I was with him when he placed the clouds in the sky and created the springs that fill the ocean. I was there when he set boundaries for the sea to make it obey him, and when he laid foundations to support the earth. I was right beside the LORD, helping him plan and build. I made him happy each day, and I was happy at his side. I was pleased with his world and pleased with its people.”
God said...
The typical adult human is an example of the miraculous. Made up of 206 bones, covered by twice as many muscles, the body has a system for breathing, blood circulation, digestion, health-preservation, and selfhealing. We wear our largest organ of all on the outside—our skin. The average adult has at least twenty square feet of it. Our skin is waterproof, self-repairing, and constantly shedding and renewing itself. The human body is yet another miracle in an already marvelous creation. Human blood cells in vein
So the heavens and the earth and everything else were created. By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested.

Lady, You Look Fabulous!!!!
Looking fierce* is the obvious place to start.
After all, people notice how you look before they notice much else. And finding your
own look is more than just aesthetics—your clothes and your personal style make a statement to the world. Don’t you want to control whether the world sees you as
ferosh* or a hot tranny mess?* I thought so! 4 / INTRODUCTION

If you were a theater-loving kid with a flair for the dramatic, you might be drawn to unexpected, high-impact looks like oversized collars or striking jewelry. Urban Outfitters has fun, inexpensive accessories, like big earrings and long beaded necklaces. A top from Urban with a pattern print and bold color is another good bet, or a pair of jeans in an unusual color, like purple or red, could be fun as well (though I still love classic black skinny jeans to offset a dramatic top). Maybe you’ve always been a real girlie-girl—the type of kid who would never go anywhere unless she was in a party dress. Today, your options for dressing in really feminine looks are endless! Romantic styles, like florals, lace, and ruffles are always girly and flirty. You can find ruffled dresses pretty much anywhere, but some good brands to start with include bebe, Rebecca Taylor, and Milly. And you can always go über-feminine in your accessories. If you want to step it up a notch on the sophistication scale, there is nothing more ladylike than a strand of pearls or two. And finally, for you former tomboys out there, you might embrace a menswear-inspired look today. A wide-leg trouser pant (available in tons of places—check out H&M or department stores like Nordstrom, and Christian Siriano Spring 2009, of course) paired with a white button-down shirt can be a fun way to dress 8 / LADY, YOU LOOK FABULOUS!!!!

So how does she manage to keep it fabulous when the same outfit would look a hot tranny mess* on someone else? Because (this is an important one, trannies, so take note) all fashion depends on who’s wearing it. Some clothes wear the person and some people wear the clothes. Vivienne’s been dressing this way since it was okay to wear crazy weird outfits back in the ’60s and ’70s (unlike today, when it’s cool to hate on what people wear). I totally admire her.

Shift
chapter 2 | D r e s s e s
dress style primer
Dresses come in almost every shape imaginable. Below are core styles you should know to help you navigate through the options.
Full
A shape that took hold in the sixties (think Jackie O.), the shift is a slightly loose, straight dress with an un defined waist. Its hem hits just above or below the knee.
This full dress has a fitted torso paired with a pleated, ample skirt. Some skirts have layers underneath to give them a bell shape.
Wrap
Taking a cue from the traditional Japanese kimono, the wrap dress crisscrosses the front of the body and ties at the waist. It is a fitted style that highlights curves.
A-line
An A-line is essentially a shift with side seams that gently flare from the armhole down to the hemline, giving the dress a tent, or A, shape.
Shirtdress
Based on the silhouette of a man’s button-front shirt, a shirtdress can be collared or not, features front buttons and is often belted.
Empire Sheath Halter
Halter dresses are backless and tie at the nape of the neck. Beyond that, they can be long, short, fitted or loose.
3
A clean-cut, usually sleeveless dress— similar to a shift but cut closer to the body—with a nippedin waist and a kneelength hemline.
Strapless
A strapless dress may be full or fitted and short or long in length, but it will always have a bare, no-strap top that shows off the shoulders and décolleté.
An Empire dress has a high waistline that starts just below the bosom. Often if there are sleeves, they are narrow in shape for balance. Front gathers soften the silhouette.

chapter 2 | D r e s s e s
how to wear it
Belt it up
Add a Necklace
Work with Layers
A good dress can be worn many ways, giving it character and versatility. Depending upon your accessories, it can look dressed up or dressed down.
Accessorize it.
Flats, boots, sandals, colored tights with heels—your choice of shoe can take a simple tunic and make it look casual, gamine, tough or elegant. A bold, bright bag can transform an otherwise ordinary outfit. A dress with a clean neckline is a great way to show off a fun necklace, and a loose shape can be cinched in with an eye-catching belt. If your dress comes with a self-belt, try switching it for something that stands out. Opaque tights can make a dressy style more day-appropriate, while bold, colored tights add an element of fun.
Layer it.
What you put over or under a dress can transform it. A dark, slim knee-length coat can anchor a delicate chiffon shape; a pale-colored cardigan (belted or not) can soften up a deephued shift. Also consider layers under your dress. In colder weather, a slim turtleneck not only keeps you warm, but gives a shirtdress or tunic a classic twist, while in the summer, tank dresses that show a lot of skin can benefit from the coverage of a tank top layered underneath. Mix layers on top of and underneath your dress—have fun with it!

A solid green dress turns into an entirely different outfit with the addition of a bejeweled belt and a shimmery clutch—the perfect way to take an outfit from day to night.
Don’t be afraid to mix bright accessories with an already colorful dress. The contrast can be quite striking. A bold necklace makes for the perfect statement piece.
A white blouse is just one of many layering options to wear under a sleeveless dress; a black turtleneck is equally classic. For a flash of color, try red under a gray dress like this one. 8

little black dress essentials
Since the twenties, women have relied on the allure of the little black dress for everything from work to dinner dates to red carpet moments. While simple options are usually best for everyday wear, donning an LBD after 5 o’clock calls for a little more.
Romantic
Chiffon, lace, tulle or feathers, soft silhouettes and accents including bows and ruffles are the components that make up highly feminine LBDs. Nothing says romance like rachel bilson’s ruffled, girly dress and strappy shoes. 9
Sophisticated
These dresses have architectural seam details and strong lines. They are best for the true minimalist (but can be punched up with playful accessories). Lucy Liu is chic in a classic, perfectly fitted dress paired with an elegant updo.
Sexy
This style often uses straps, plunging necklines and body-hugging cuts to accentuate everything. Keep it tasteful— a little goes a long way. charlize theron sizzles in a slew of straps. Simple, classic shoes balance the look.
Edgy
Asymmetrical necklines, short hemlines, strap details, grommets, jet beading and hints of leather can give LBDs a slightly tough stance. Heidi KLUM makes leather look elegant (and shows off her toned upper body , too). 10

Living Rooms Stunningly elegant, warmly traditional, or coolly minimal, all living rooms have a major element in common—comfort. They are, obviously, rooms for living, for relaxing at the end of the day by reading, watching television, or enjoying a conversation with family and friends. So when it comes to furnishing this important space, focus on reality rather than fantasy. “Your living room should grow out of the needs of your daily life,” pioneering interior decorator Elsie de Wolfe wrote in her 1913 book The House in Good Taste. That advice from one of the design industry’s early doyennes holds true nearly a century later. If smart parties, memorable hors d’oeuvres, and the perfect little black dress are defining aspects of your world, then a living room outfitted with soigné antiques and luxurious silk damasks could be the perfect setting. For homeowners whose lifestyles are easygoing and enlivened by children or pets, casual materials designed to age well and hold up to daily wear and tear might be more appropriate, among them crisp linen and cotton, hard-wearing wool-mohair, tough but sophisticated leather, even sturdy corduroy.

Seek out occasional tables with character and place them within easy reach to offer guests somewhere to set a cup of coffee or a flute of Champagne. And personal treasures are always the essential finishing touch. n

Foreword Barbara Kafka
I
t is a rare experience to find a brilliant new chef. Usually, they do not remain a secret. Instead, they become famous. I had this experience a few years ago when a friend told me that I
must try a new restaurant, Kefi. I did, and the friend was correct. Michael Psilakis, whose book you have in front of you, was the chef, and he had all the attributes of a great chef. The acclaim has come along with two more restaurants and the growth of Kefi from a small establishment to a larger one in a new location. The new restaurants are Anthos and Mia Dona. Go and enjoy. What are the attributes that make a great chef? First, there is a sound grasp of the many techniques that make a cooked food what it is; but technique is not enough. As with any major creative talent, great intelligence and passion are necessary. Michael has these and a love for his family and for what food means to him and them. It is creative. Based on the flavors he loves, he constantly creates variations and new dishes. The first recipe section of the book, crammed with delightful salads and vegetable dishes, illustrates the outcome of these talents. Many of these recipes are inspired by his dearly loved fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ardent gardening. These foods are joyous with loving memories.

WILD BITTER GREENS, ROASTED PEPPERS, GRILLED ONION, OIL-MARINATED DRIED TOMATO & KEFALOTIRI HORTA ME PSITA PIPPERIA, KREMIDI STIN SXARA, LIASTES TOMATES, KAI KEFALOTIRI =----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= SERVES 4 TO 6 AS A SIDE DISH, OR MORE FAMILY-STYLE, AS PART OF A LARGER SPREAD
Very, very simple. This is one of the most versatile salads I make. It goes well with any protein, and it functions like a vegetable and salad all in one. If you are doubling or tripling this dish—or any of my salads—for a large party, serve the dressing on the side, so that if there are any leftovers you can keep the greens fresh and bright. Once a salad is dressed, the vinegar begins to break down the greens and they’ll wilt if not used in a very short time. If you know you’ll eat all the salad right away, go ahead and toss with the dressing. If you use artisanal-quality oil-marinated roasted red peppers and artichokes from a jar, this recipe takes you almost no time at all and the result will be almost as good as if you made your own from scratch. Just be sure to buy premium European brands, and get the best greens possible. This is a fantastic side salad for grilled souvlaki. And by the way, souvlaki—shish kebab—doesn’t have to be pork or chicken; it can be beef, or lamb, or swordfish, or scallops, or shrimp.
1 small head frisée 2 cups baby arugula leaves 1 recipe Grilled Onions (page 270) 1 large fire-roasted red bell pepper (page 270) home-roasted or storebought, cut into strips 6 large sun-dried tomatoes, cut into thick strips 4 cloves Garlic Confit (page 264), optional
3 pieces Artichoke Confit (page 267), halved, or 6 halves oil-marinated artichokes from a jar, halved again 2 tablespoons small, picked sprigs parsley 2 tablespoons small, picked sprigs dill 6 leaves fresh mint ½ to ⅔ cup Red Wine–Black Pepper Vinaigrette (page 273) 2 ounces kefalotiri cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler into large shards
Wash the frisée and arugula, spin dry, and wrap in clean towels. Chill. Just before serving: In a large bowl, combine the grilled onions with all the ingredients, except the vinaigrette and half the kefalotiri, and toss gently with clean hands. Drizzle with about ½ cup of the vinaigrette, toss again gently but thoroughly, and taste. Season with salt and pepper, scatter with the remaining cheese, and serve immediately.

I think of this as a sort of Greek coleslaw, only much brighter in flavors and far more exciting.
1 bulb fennel, trimmed 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ¼ head savoy cabbage, cored ⅔ cup cracked, brined green olives, such as tsakistes, pitted ⅔ cup oil-cured Thássos olives, pitted 4 ounces graviera cheese, coarsely grated
¼ cup small, picked sprigs dill 8 leaves fresh mint ¼ cup small, picked sprigs parsley ¼ cup small, picked sprigs thyme ½ to ⅔ cup Red Wine–Black Pepper Vinaigrette (page 273) Sea salt and cracked black pepper
With a mandoline or a very sharp knife, shave the whole bulb of fennel crosswise as thinly as possible (no need to remove the core). Transfer to a large bowl and drizzle with the lemon juice. Shave the cabbage lengthwise, and add. Pull the olives into rough pieces, and add them along with about two thirds of the cheese, dill, mint, parsley, and thyme. Drizzle with about ½ cup of the vinaigrette and toss aggressively with clean hands until all the ingredients are nicely coated. Season generously with sea salt and pepper, taste, and add a little more vinaigrette if you like (never so much that it pools in the bottom of the bowl). Transfer to a platter and top with the remaining cheese and fresh herbs.
ACIDITY IN GREEK FOOD One of the flavors that distinguishes Greek food and makes it bright and fresh is acidity, and often—but not always—it comes from lemon juice. You can serve things that are rich and slightly fatty—like one of the many wonderful confits—but in order to keep everyone’s taste buds alive and interested, you’ve got to cut that fattiness with acidity.

STEWED ENGLISH PEAS & MUSHROOMS STIFADO APO ARAKAS KAI MANITARIA =----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= SERVES 4, OR MORE FAMILY-STYLE, AS PART OF A LARGER SPREAD
To keep the fresh summer peas really green, you need to blanch and shock them in ice water. If you have a pasta strainer insert, it’s perfect for the peas because you can get them quickly into the ice water and keep that beautiful bright color and flavor and prevent them from becoming mushy. I prefer a light and fruity olive oil for this dish, rather than the full-bodied Greek olive oil I normally use. If you make this dish in the winter, you can use it with frozen petits pois and even add a little tomato paste and cinnamon—a very different dish but perfect for cool weather.
8 ounces small button mushrooms 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 large shallot, chopped 8 ounces whole pearl onions, peeled, or thawed frozen pearl onions ½ cup white wine 2 cups water (1 cup only if using frozen pearl onions) 1 large sprig thyme
10 ounces shelled English peas, blanched for 1 minute in boiling water, then shocked in an ice water bath, and drained 20 leaves fresh mint ¼ cup small, picked sprigs dill 2 whole scallions, thinly sliced Kosher salt and cracked black pepper Juice of 1 lemon
Rinse the mushrooms in a bowl of cold water, swishing them around. Immediately drain and spread on a towel. (If they’re larger than bite-size, halve or quarter them.) In a braising pan or large, heavy skillet, warm the olive oil. Add and sauté the shallot until just softened, then add the mushrooms and pan-roast until slightly golden, shaking the pan. Add the pearl onions and cook for a minute, then deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add the appropriate amount of water and the thyme, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer gently over low heat until the onions are soft, 15 to 20 minutes (5 to 10 minutes if using frozen pearl onions). Check occasionally and add a little more water if it’s all evaporated. Season with kosher salt and pepper. In a bowl, fold the peas and mushroom–pearl onion mixture together. Add the mint, dill, and scallions, and drizzle liberally with extra-virgin olive oil. Toss, season generously with sea salt and cracked pepper, and squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Toss again.

BEEF STEW WITH LEEKS BODINO STIFADO ME PRASO =----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= SERVES 4 TO 6 FAMILY-STYLE, WITH POTATOES, RICE, OR ORZO
Braises like this are perfect for meat with tough muscle tissue and tendons (which come from the part of the animal that works hard), a great example of poverty cooking. This less expensive cut of meat develops its own natural and luscious sauce as it cooks. You want a little marbling in the meat, because it melts down as you cook and adds a lot of flavor to the sauce. You can use brisket, shanks, shoulder—all fairly tough meats—but save the filet mignon for the grill or a pan. It takes a little time to cook and become tender, but it’s a relatively easy setup, and once you get it onto the stove you don’t have to worry about it for about an hour. So you can do your laundry, or walk the dog, or make a salad. A couple of days later, if you have any leftovers, you can shred the meat, then return the meat to the sauce and add your favorite pasta. The resulting dish is a Greek version of beef Stroganoff. The herbs are very important to the flavor develo pment here, since I’m using water instead of stock, so use fresh herbs if possible.
3 tablespoons blended oil (90 percent canola, 10 percent extra-virgin olive) 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1½-inch chunks Kosher salt and cracked black pepper ½ large Spanish or sweet onion, finely chopped 1 carrot, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely chopped 1 large leek, cut into thick rounds, washed well in cold water, drained 2 tablespoons tomato paste
½ cup red wine 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 3 to 5 cups water 1 fresh bay leaf or 2 dried leaves 1 large sprig rosemary 1 sprig thyme 1 sprig sage 2 cinnamon sticks Extra-virgin olive oil Grated orange zest 1 tablespoon roughly chopped parsley
Place a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the blended oil. Season the beef aggressively with kosher salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the beef and sear on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Add all the chopped vegetables to the pan with the beef and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the red wine and red wine vinegar, and let them reduce completely away.

Add 3 cups of the water, 2 teaspoons salt and a generous grinding of pepper, the bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, sage, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and partially cover the pan. Simmer gently for about an hour. Check and, if the mixture is dry, add another cup or two of water. Keep simmering for 15 to 40 minutes more, until the meat is tender and the braising liquid has reduced to a saucy consistency. Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon sticks. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil, and scatter with a little orange zest and the parsley.

TOMATO & STRING BEAN SALAD SALATA APO TOMATES KAI AMPELOFASOLIA =----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= SERVES 4, OR MORE AS PART OF A LARGER SPREAD
This is my version of a Greek steak house salad—it’s fantastic with a steak or any kind of protein. Add toasted bread and it’s a Greek version of the Italian dish panzanella. I recommend going a step further by adding a grilled onion: the char flavor works perfectly with the ripe fruit and vegetables.
¼ pound green beans, ends trimmed ¼ pound yellow wax beans, ends trimmed ⅓ to ½ cup Red Wine and Feta Vinaigrette (page 271) 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese 4 vine-ripe tomatoes, preferably heirloom, cut into rough wedges
1 teaspoon dry Greek oregano ½ small red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings 6 small, picked sprigs parsley, torn 6 small, picked sprigs dill, torn 16 leaves fresh mint, torn Kosher salt and coarsely cracked black pepper
Prepare an ice water bath and bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the beans until tender but still snappy, about 3 minutes, then shock them in the ice water bath and swish around. Drain well and dry on a clean towel. In a bowl, combine the beans, vinaigrette, feta, tomatoes, oregano, red onion, and torn herbs. Toss well with clean hands. Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and pepper. 4 If you wish, add toasted chunks of day-old bread, brushed with extra-virgin olive oil and seasoned with sea salt and pepper. 4 Or try adding half a grilled Spanish or sweet onion, separated into rings (page 270).

4 If you have any leftover lamb, you can make a fantastic lamb ragout to toss with the Hilopites Pasta from page 76. Pull the meat off the bone and shred, then warm it in a skillet with some of the leftover braising liquid. Reduce the liquid to concentrate the flavors and create a textural sauce to coat the pasta. If you have any Garlic Purée, throw a spoonful into the pan, along with a few tiny picked sprigs of thyme and a pinch of minced rosemary. Cook the Hilopites Pasta in the usual way, drain well, and toss with the lamb mixture. 4 Instead of serving orzo on the side, throw some cooked orzo into the liquid toward the end of the reducing time. The starch from the orzo will thicken the juices.
SPINACH RICE SPANAKORIZO =----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= SERVES 4 TO 6 FAMILY-STYLE AS A SIDE DISH, OR MORE AS PART OF A LARGER SPREAD
My mom made spanakorizo, or spinach rice, all the time, always with water. But if you have chicken stock, the flavor will be richer. If you use vegetable stock, you’ll still have a vegan dish. This is another example of the type of food we would eat during Lent.
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, well rinsed 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 2 shallots, finely chopped 6 whole scallions, thickly sliced
5 cups baby spinach leaves Kosher salt and cracked black pepper 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 3 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter
In a large pot, cook the rice according to the package instructions (or the way you like to cook rice). While the rice is cooking: in a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Wilt the shallots and scallions for 2 to 3 minutes without browning. Add the spinach, turning it over with tongs to help it wilt evenly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, a generous grinding of pepper, and the lemon juice. When the rice is done, add it to the spinach mixture. Stir in the butter, and season with salt and pepper. 4 Spanakorizo is typically a side dish, but you can easily add shrimp, scallops, or mussels to make it into a main course. A scatter of crumbled feta or manouri cheese would add another layer of flavor.

here is a single word in Greek, kefi, that explains a philosophy of life. Kefi is the culmination of a celebration when music, dance, food, liquor, and the company you share intersect.
The effect is so ethereal and the feeling so euphoric that you realize this is what life is about. It isn’t material possessions—the size of your house or the kind of car you drive—that are important. It’s the joy you derive from celebrating life with the people you love. When I was five years old, my parents sent me to Greek school at our local Greek Orthodox church on Long Island. We learned not only how to read and write Greek, but also about Greek culture and the country our parents had left behind. The religious component of the program wasn’t dominant (because the church also had Sunday school, which of course I had to attend) but the culture is tied into the religion and vice versa, so religion was a unifying aspect of all of the other elements of our program. I found my time at the church for Greek school to be very peaceful. It wasn’t because of any deep-seated religious beliefs, but rather because of the friendships that I made there. I found a support system I desperately needed among the other children of Greek immigrants. They understood me in a way that only children growing up in the same cultural bubble could comprehend. As part of the curriculum, we learned traditional Greek folk dancing. Initially, the forty-five minutes of dance instruction every Saturday was relatively casual. Mrs. Benes was a good recreational folk dancer, but she was not a professional. It was when Mrs. Sopasis, a retired professional dancer, came to Greek school to teach us that I really became interested in Greek, especially Cretan, dancing. As Mrs. Sopasis and her daughter, Debbie (later my dance partner), whipped us

Chocolate: A Love Story, 4
Max Almost always, when meeting someone for the first time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asked how I actually started out making chocolate. I usually tell them that when I was ten years old, I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl, and I swore that, one day, I would find a river of chocolate and sail in it. I also tell them about Anna, who was my first love, and who could not fall asleep without eating a piece of milk chocolate before going to bed, because otherwise she would have bad dreams. But the truth is that I wanted to be a writer. One that gets up at noon, sits in cafĂŠs, writes until the following morning and devotes a book to an impossible, eternal love. At the age of twenty, I thought that in order to find inspiration for my first novel I needed to be alone. I needed to walk in narrow streets, sit in a dark room with a candle, feel the longing, and write. I went to live and work in the seventh arrondissement in Paris with a French chef who looked like Geppetto. I was an apprentice for six years. He taught me how to make toffee, marzipan, and nougat. He told me stories that are only passed on from teacher to pupil. I was lonely and did not write. Later I started searching for romance as a source of inspiration. I wanted to live in a small house, ride my bicycle to work, make colorful sweets in big jars, and write. I opened a chocolate workshop. People fell in love with the movie that was my life. I was living the magic of romance, yet was making so many sweets that I had no time left to write. Then I wanted to experience decadence to get a sense of real, raging inspirationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like the one described in the biographies of great writers. I wanted to wear Versace suits with tight pants, drink lots of wine, fall in love with the prettiest women, and write. I designed and created a lifestyle of chocolate with its own saying. I dived into decadence, but most of the time, I was drunk and did not write. More than ten years have passed since I started looking for inspiration for my writing. I have yet to start writing. Recently, I bought a special feather pen and a thick leathercovered notebook. I am starting to write a novel soon. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been making chocolate for more than ten years. Almost without noticing it, I find myself telling its story. Maybe through the telling of its story, I can also tell something about myself, something about the longings, the romanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the decadence. I invite you to watch, smell, taste, and feel my love story.
Chocolate: A Love Story, 6
Yonatan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yonatan is not a man of words. You have to meet him in order to get to know him.â&#x20AC;? These are the words the friend who introduced us many years ago used, to tell me what I now know for myselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that Yonatan Factor is a man of drawings. Today, however, as Yonatan and I are publishing an album of our work together, I want to switch places with him. For the first and perhaps only time, I wish to draw him in my own way, which is of course with words. We planned to meet for the first time in South Tel Aviv, where Yonatan was born and still lives and is always just about to desert, to split from, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way it is with stormy, sensuous love; like the kind he feels for the city that fills him with inspiration. This is what he looked like at that first meeting: heavy brown hiking boots, a huge tattoo running up his leg that had been covered with a tattoo of a blue rectangle, because he was sick of what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d loved the day before. Khaki shorts that reached his knees, a red kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s T-shirt. The body of the most muscular Irish boxer you can imagine, topped with a round head whose contours were hidden behind a pair of thick, black glasses that looked like they should be worn by a physics professor who never stopped reading. The spiky blond hair of a newborn chick. And even though you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it, stuffed inside was the romantic soul of a starving Russian poet. He took me to eat at his favorite restaurant, a dive where the locals eat, and when I walked in I was convinced heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d actually taken me to see a play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what food should be like,â&#x20AC;? he told me then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like a stage actor. Bathed in the bright light, in colors and sounds, with a strong text so it can express itself and bring out the magical personality hidden inside.â&#x20AC;? I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say a word. But late that night, when we left a dark bar together, I started talking and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking ever since, and ever since then heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been drawing the most perfect scenery for our play that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written togetherâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;our big chocolate stage play.
Chocolate: A Love Story, 8
Chocolate Chocolate is not just about taste. It is not just about mixing exotic spices or creating delicate mousses. It is absolutely not just an excellent gourmet product. Chocolate, much more than other food, is associated with different aspects of life. It is a symbol of contradictory emotions and sensations. On one hand, it is the most romantic gift; on the other, a commodity that is traded in the bourse. It is sold like precious jewelry that is picked carefully from a crystal glass, but also is an addictive snack in every corner kiosk. It is tasted like a ďŹ ne wine and licked straight from the bowl. It is sexy. It is nostalgic and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantasy object for children and grown-up children. These diverse aspects of chocolate and of life are the inspiration for our book.

The Belgian street wafďŹ&#x201A;e with butterscotch chips, roasted pineapple and a white chocolate orange maple trap
Dough 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup milk, plus more if needed ½ cup heavy cream Scant ½ cup sugar 2 large eggs 1 envelope dry yeast 1 stick plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup butterscotch candies, chopped, plus more for topping White Chocolate and Orange Maple Sauce ž cup heavy cream 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped Zest of 1 orange 3 tablespoons orange juice 6 tablespoons maple syrup Roasted Pineapple 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ cup brown sugar 5 (½-inch-thick) pineapple slices
1. Make the dough. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, milk, cream, sugar, eggs and yeast. Mix on low to form a smooth dough, about 10 minutes. If dough is too dry or tough, add a little more milk 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the butter and salt and continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 10 to 15 minutes. It should not be sticky to the touch. 2. Let the dough rest in a lightly greased bowl at room temperature for about 1 hour. Turn the dough once and put in the fridge to rest for another hour. Turn it again and refrigerate for a minimum of 5 hours. 3. Add the butterscotch to the dough and mix well. Scoop the dough in heaping teaspoonfuls and roll into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment and let rise in a warm place for about 90 minutes. 4. Heat a waffle machine to 320ÂşF. Add a ball of dough to each section on the iron. Bake until golden brown, about 3 minutes each. Repeat with the remaining dough. 5. Prepare the sauce. Bring the cream to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and let sit until the chocolate begins to melt, about 1 minute. Add the orange zest and juice and stir until smooth. Let cool, then stir in the maple syrup. 6. Make the roasted pineapple. Melt the butter over high heat in a nonstick pan. Add the sugar and pineapple slices. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. 7. Place a waffle on each of 10 plates, add half a slice of roasted pineapple, and top with white chocolate and orange maple sauce. Sprinkle butterscotch pieces over the tops and serve hot. Yield: 10 wafďŹ&#x201A;es

Intimate Hungarian crĂŞpes with sweet white chocolate cheese, raisins and dried fig hidden secrets Shortly after it grows dark, I enter our secret place and sit in the corner, the spot that moves only us. Everyone comes to taste the famed crĂŞpes of the Hungarian cafĂŠ that was once known only to us and is now full to capacity. I smile a tiny, pensive smile to myself: not one of these countless people will ever experience its true taste, the intimate taste created by you and me.
Filling Âź cup dried figs, chopped ½ cup raisins, chopped ½ cup rum 1 cup cream cheese or farmer cheese 4 ounces milk chocolate chips 3 tablespoons honey 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon CrĂŞpes 3 large eggs 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt ž cup milk 2 tablespoons brandy 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more to grease the pan Confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar and ground cinnamon, for dusting
1. Make the filling. Soak the figs and raisins in the rum for at least 1 hour. Drain the fruit and discard the rum. 2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cheese until soft and smooth. Mix in the figs and raisins and chocolate chips. Add the honey and cinnamon and keep beating until the mixture is combined and the cheese is soft and smooth, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
3. Make the crĂŞpes. Whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until they become a light lemony yellow. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the milk and brandy. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes before making the crĂŞpes. 4. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Warm 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick crĂŞpe or omelet pan until it foams and subsides. Pour just enough batter into the pan to create a thin, even layer with a ladle or by rotating the pan. Pour any excess batter back into the bowl. When the bottom of the crĂŞpe is slightly brown, flip and cook for a few more seconds. 5. Transfer the cooked crĂŞpe to an ovenproof plate and cover with wax paper. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter to the pan when necessary and separating each cooked crĂŞpe with a layer of wax paper. To keep crĂŞpes warm while cooking the remainder, cover the top crĂŞpe with aluminum foil and keep the stack in the warm oven. CrĂŞpes are best eaten immediately but can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to one day. 6. Spread the cheese mixture on the hot crĂŞpes and roll as you would an omelet. Place on serving plates and dust the crĂŞpes and plates with confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar and cinnamon and serve immediately. Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Intimate scones with tender milk chocolate chips and romantic winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strawberry confiture Through the window of our cafĂŠ, I watch as you heap butter and jam and fresh cream onto a golden pastry just the way we liked it. You serve it to his mouth and prove to me once again that romanticism is the mass market product of intimacy.
2 Âź cups all-purpose flour Âź cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Âź cup finely chopped candied ginger 3 ounces milk chocolate chips Âź cup heavy cream 1 large egg, lightly beaten, plus 1 for egg wash 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar, for dusting
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or bakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Silpat. 2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers or two knives, cut in the cold butter pieces until you achieve a sandy texture. Stir in the candied ginger and chocolate. Add the cream, egg, and vanilla, mixing until just combined. 3. Place the dough on a cutting board and shape into a circle about ½ inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet. 4. Beat the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water and brush the top of each scone with the egg wash. Bake the scones until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. 5. Remove the scones from the oven and set the oven to broil. Sift confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar over the scones. Set the scones briefly under the broiler to brown, being careful not to let the sugar burn. Serve warm with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Yield: 8 servings

Handsome tiramisu of white chocolate, Irish Cream, and chic Italian espresso Limoncello in a frozen glass. Paolo Conte is playing in the background while on the screen Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni drive their white Porsche convertible into the distance along the winding lanes of Tuscany and into the screen that shrinks to a single point of focus, the sweet and true flavor of life: longing and dreams.
1 cup heavy cream 9 ounces white chocolate, chopped 1 ž cups strong coffee or espresso, cooled to room temperature Ÿ cup Irish Cream liqueur 3 large eggs, separated 1/8 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons sugar 1 ½ cups mascarpone cheese 18 large (4-inch-long) or about 40 small (2-inch-long) ladyfingers Cocoa powder, for dusting
1. Bring ½ cup cream to a boil, then pour over the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set aside until the chocolate begins to melt, about 1 minute, then stir the ganache until smooth. Set aside to cool. 2. Combine the coffee and Irish Cream in a shallow bowl. Set aside. 3. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the salt and continue mixing on medium until the eggs hold soft peaks. Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar and continue beating until the whites are glossy and hold firm peaks. 4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the yolks and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar until thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. In another bowl, stir the white chocolate ganache into the mascarpone. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the egg yolks until just combined. 5. In a clean bowl, whip the remaining ½ cup cream until it holds soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Finish by folding the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until just combined. 6. Briefly dip the ladyfingers one by one into the coffee mixture. Use half the ladyfingers to line the bottom of an 8 by 8-inch glass dish. Spoon half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then follow with a second layer of coffee-soaked fingers. Cover with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover and chill overnight. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving. Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Cast of Characters Mick Jagger Singer/Performer (English) The son of a physical education instructor, Mick Jagger was born on July 26, 1943, in Dartford, Kent, England. The 1969 US tour was his-and the Stones’-first in three years. A Rolling Stone since 1962, Jagger and the Stones played Rio de Janeiro in 2006 before a million and a half people.
Keith Richards Guitarist (English) Keith Richards, an only child, was born in Dartford, Kent, December 18, 1943. Keith-with Mick Jagger-joined Ian Stewart and Brian Jones to form the Rolling Stones. Ronnie Schneider: “I could give you a million stories about Keith being a man’s man. I remember a guy comes up and bothers Charlie’s wife and Keith smashes him over the head with a beer bottle, while holding a baby, as he pushes the guy down the stairs.”
Bill Wyman Bass Guitar. (English) Born in 1936, Bill Wyman joined the original Rolling Stones in 1962. He played with them until 1993. He is fa-mous for his expressionless immobility on stage. (“I’ve never met anyone who moved less than Bill, but he added to the act tremendously,” says Chip Monck. Bill demurs, “I used to sweat a little bit under me arms.”) Since his departure in 1993, Bill has published several books and still performs and records. He has three young daughters and a fully grown son, Stephen.
Charlie Watts Drummer (English) The thing about Charlie Watts, a remarkable legacy, is how everyone feels motivated to offer such kind observa-tions about him: “The only one, a staunch friend over the years.” “There’s such a serene, calm goodness about Charlie.” “Charlie was very down-to-earth.” He was not playing “I am a great Rolling Stone, rock star.” I once heard somebody say, “You’re on the road the whole time. God, it must be hard.” Charlie replied, “Jesus, musi’cians have been doing this since the dawn of time. We’ve got it easy.” Charlie Watts was born in Islington on June 2, 1941.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
Mick Taylor Guitarist (English) Born January 17, 1949, in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England. In 1969 Mick Taylor was recruited to replace Brian Jones, and his addition allowed the Stones to tour again. Bill Wyman: “Mick Taylor became the most musical person in the band, more technically clever than all the rest of us. We were just musicians, basically, and he was way above us in his technique. But he fitted very well.” Mick Taylor left the Stones in 1974. He lives in England, still performs and records..
Ian Stewart Pianist. (Scots) Brian Jones placed the ad, and Ian Stewart answered it. That was the beginning of the Rolling Stones. Born in Pittenweem in the East Neuk, Scotland, in 1938, Stu was asked to leave the band by their then manager, Andrew Loog Oldham. He did not look the part, though that was not the reason given. But Stu stayed with them for the rest of his life. He died in England in 1985. On the 1969 tour Stu did what he always did: helped get the band on the stage, performed with them, and was, as Stanley Booth puts it, “the only grown-up.” When I saw Stu on stage at Altamont, it was the first time I had ever seen him worried. I knew then we were in trouble.
Ronnie Schneider Tour Manager (American) Born in New Jersey in 1943, Ronnie Schneider grew up in Miami. (“With that ‘let’s party’ mentality. You have good weather. You go to the beach. You get a suntan. You pick up girls. I loved it.”) He was on the road with the Stones in 1966. In 1969 Mick Jagger called and asked him to do the tour without involving Ronnie’s uncle, Allen Klein.
Sam Cutler Personal Tour Manager (English) Born in London’s East End, Sam’s parents were killed in the Second World War. He was placed in an orphanage but later adopted. “At fifteen I left home, school, and England, having already suffered three mothers and four fa’thers.” As much as any individual, Sam took the fall for Altamont, about which he’s still angry. Ronnie Schneider: “Sam had to disappear–he went into hiding for quite a long time. He was the most hardworking guy that I’ve ever met. He was definitely driven-I think he was absolutely fantastic at what he did.” The interviews with Sam began in 2000 and were completed in 2006. He’s a central figure, with interesting facets to his story. Sam is married with two children and lives in Australia.
Georgia “Jo” Bergman Assistant/Office Manager. (American) Born in Oakland in 1945, Jo Bergman ran the Rolling Stones office in London and went on the road with them on multiple tours from 1968 through 1972. During those years little that had anything to do with the Rolling Stones was outside her purview. She left to go to Warner Bros. Records, becoming its only female vice president by the time she retired. She lives in Altadena, California.
Astrid Lundstrom (Swedish) Born in a small village in northern Sweden in 1947, Astrid traveled by boat to England in 1966. Within her first month there she was to meet George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, and Bill Wyman. She and Bill were together for seventeen years, and she accompanied him on every tour. “Other than them [the Rolling Stones] I was the only one who was there the whole time.” Today Astrid lives in Tucson, Arizona.
Stanley Booth Writer. (American) In 1969 Stanley Booth received from the Rolling Stones “their exclusive cooperation in putting together a book about the Rolling Stones.” He devoted fifteen years of his life to writing it. The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones has been called by Peter Guralnick “the one authentic masterpiece of rock ‘n’ roll writing.” About it Keith Richards says, “Stanley’s book is the only one I can read and say, yeah, that’s how it was.” Born in Georgia in 1942, Stanley first met the Rolling Stones in 1968. Still writing, Stanley lives in Brunswick, Georgia, with his wife, Diann.
Ethan Russell Photographer. (American) Born in New York in 1945, Ethan grew up in San Francisco. He went to London in 1968 as part of a European summer vacation. He stayed, working initially as a volunteer with autistic children while trying to be a writer. He had taken a few photos in college. Seen by a young journalist writing for a new magazine called Rolling Stone, he was asked if he wanted to photograph Mick Jagger. He photographed the Rolling Stones during the years 1968-1972. He also photographed the Beatles, the Who, and many others. Today he lives in Marin County with his wife, stepson, and five-year-old son.
Michael Lydon Writer. (American) Michael Lydon was the second writer on the tour. Michael’’s physical appearance and lifestyle (over-the-shoulder hair, jeans, living in Mendocino) all said “hippie.” His demeanor was so unassuming that it totally obscured the fact, which I found out during our interview, that he was a reporter for the New York Times, for Newsweek, for Esquire–and was a graduate of Yale. Michael was delightful then and is now. He is a working musician and music teacher in New York City.
Chip Monck Stage and Lighting Design (American) Chip Monck had a certain degree of personal notoriety before he joined the 1969 tour; among other things, he was the “voice of Woodstock” due to his multiple appearances in the movie Woodstock speaking to the crowd, warning them, among other things, of “bad acid.” His interview reveals that lighting and staging were, more or less, everything to him before and after the Stones ‘69 tour. He now lives in Australia.
Tony Funches “Security” (American) A Vietnam vet and the son of two religious parents, Tony was the president of the West Los Angeles College when someone asked him if he wanted to help look out for the Rolling Stones while they were in LA. “My job was to sit in my Volkswagen down by the gate.” It didn’t last. Once they got to know Tony, the Stones asked him to come on the tour. At Altamont he broke two bones in his hand knocking out Hells Angels. “That I lived is still a surprise to me.” I interviewed Tony in Hendersonville, Nevada, in 2006.
Jon Jaymes “Transportation” (American) Jon Jaymes, aka John Ellsworth, materialized at the beginning of the tour claiming to be from the Chrysler Corporation. To Chrysler he said he was working with the Stones. Newspaper accounts described him as a promoter of allegedly bogus businesses from eucalyptus plantations to European hamburger joints. His exploits were extraor’dinary, including appearing at the Carter White House as Santa Claus while attempting to defraud a children’s charity.

PART I: LOOKING BACK
The House at Pooh Crossing The first time I remember seeing Brian Jones, I was an art student at the University of California. Brian was staring at me from a Rolling Stones album cover. Like the rest of the Stones, Jones seemed somber to the point of sullen, even as his blond pageboy haircut made him stand out. At the beginning of the band’s rise to stardom it was Brian who grabbed all the attention. I discovered the Stones in the 1960s when those years had not yet become “the sixties,” even as the Stones were one of the main forces driving youth toward that moment. It was a defining moment
It was as if Brian had chosen to become the crowned prince of stoned.
for me when-in a sweltering darkroom on a hot summer’s night-the voice of Bob Dylan came cascading out of the little radio, backed by drums and electric guitar, singing, “How does it feeeeeeel?” Though I couldn’t have articulated it at the time, it was more than the music. The rise of the singersongwriter was driving the massive change that was going on all around me. These songs weren’t the words of a lyricist put to the melody of a musician. These were the words of the artists, spoken to us. Suddenly-no one knows exactly when-it seemed that everyone was getting high, that these musicians were talking not only to us but to each other, and that we were all somehow in this together. The impression became an undeniable fact. Like the rest of my generation, I was sucked in. It was, indisputably, the best thing going. The writer Michael Lydon, who would join us on the 1969 tour, said decades later, “What I remember most dis-tinctly about that time were the number of ideas and insights moving rapidly and brilliantly in the music until they became part of an international conversation about life, art, music, and politics. Jerry Garcia was as smart as any-body, as smart as a guy from Yale, who was a clerk for a

and deference. Pictures of him at the festival show him wearing a long cape, its edges lined with fur, and festooned with a collection of pendants and Moroccan jewelry draped around his neck, his long, blond Prince Valiant hair framing his pale face. There, too, Jones had that Cheshire Cat look on his face, smiling as if he were about to fade away. But up close on that afternoon in his home, apart from his golden hairdo, Brian looked surprisingly old. He had bags below his eyes, and his face was swollen. He said he’d been up all night, some

party. Brian talked rapidly, though in a quiet voice. There was a charm to it; an uncensored stream of stoned conscious-ness like you might have expected from Jack Kerouac’s On the Road character Dean Moriarty. As we moved about his house, I started taking pictures in a vague sort of “Stone at Home” manner. I had him sit by the window in the afternoon light. I clicked away, but I could tell the pictures had no punch to them, so I was at a bit of a loss. Perhaps sensing my disappointment, Brian said, “Wait here. I’ll be right back.” Then he disappeared upstairs. About ten minutes later he clattered back down, dressed in a shirt fashioned from an American flag. We headed out across his lawn toward the swimming pool, Jones striding in the lead. He began to move through a series of poses that he made up as he went along. He strutted and preened. He grimaced and grinned. He snuck up on the statue of Christopher Robin and grabbed it by the neck,
Opposite: Strangling Christopher Robin
strangling the icon of British childhood. I was tak-ing pictures and reloading the camera as fast as I could. Then he ducked inside a shed for a moment and reemerged holding a gun. (This was not, I hasten to add, some Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry, .357 Magnum shit-kicker. It was a pellet gun, a rifle used by the landed gentry to kill the occasional trespassing squirrel.) Jones pointed it at the Christopher Robin statue and pulled the trigger. Then reversed it and started thrusting it butt-first at me behind the camera. I gamely clicked away. Next he lay down on the ground, put the stock to his shoulder, and aimed the rifle directly at me. I was confused about how this quiet fellow, who had a few minutes ago been speaking in hushed and reverent tones about the history of his house and the wonder of Winnie-the-Pooh, came to be writhing in the dirt in his gar-den attacking everything around him with a gun. Still, I thought, This is great! Here’s a Rolling Stone doing, well, Rolling Stone things! The images I was getting were stoned and rebellious, with a slight edge of violence. This was the stuff.
When we were done with the session Brian, polite and quiet again, saw me off. As I pulled out of the drive I caught a glimpse of him in the rearview mirror. Brian stood, framed by his green lawns and his quaint brick cottage, decked out in his American-flag shirt with his rifle tucked under his arm, waving farewell. 12

The crowd at Hyde Park. The “Concerts in the Park” series was organized by Blackhill Enterprises, inspired in part by the free concerts that were happening in America. The Stones’ appearance-actually the sixth in the series-would be the biggest up until that point, and would hold that record briefly until it was swept away by Woodstock in just over a month.

Klein was telling him there must be no uniforms near the stage while the Stones were playing. The fat man nodded in disbelief. ‘What happens if twenty thousand kids rush the stage?’ ‘We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,’ said Klein. And the fat man said ‘Oh, I see, great.

“The ‘69 tour was the best tour until then,which gets completely overshadowed by what happened at Altamont. We had Chuck Berry, BB King, Tina Turner, and Terry Reid, a young, upcoming British star. It was a fantastic tour.” BILL WYMAN
At the end of the show, Mick would take a basket of rose petals and, twirling, throw it out over the crowd, the petals drifting down like a blessing. Twenty minutes earlier he had been singing ‘I’m going to stick this knife right down your throat ‘til it hurts!’ You couldn’t blame people for being a little confused.
Ed Sullivan indicates he is ready. All right and taping, says the floor manager. With polished enthusiasm, Ed Sullivan faces the camera and begins one of his famous introductions. “And tonight, from England, we have with us the Rolling Stones!” He turns toward Mick, who has been waiting patiently. “Hello, Mike,” Ed Sullivan says.

THE TOUR
You Can’t Always Get What You Want Chicago, IL, November 15, 1969 New York, NY, November 27 & 28, 1969
“Your thing’s sex, mine’s violence,” and they both crack up
No matter where we performed, the politics of America dogged us. When we arrived at the Chicago concert, Abbie Hoffman, one of the leading political hippies in America at the time, was there. He didn’t have a ticket, but an usher who recognized his face and curly hair let him into the $7.50 section right up front. Hoffman had been trying to get through to the Stones for days. He’d even called the Ambassador West Hotel pretending to be Elvis. (“Yassuh, I jes’ wanted to see how Mick an’ the boys were doin’.”) He didn’t get through. Hoffman sent a note to the Stones from his seat. It did get through and Mick wanted to see him, too. They got to-gether in the dressing room a few minutes before show time. Mick was dressing and brushing his hair. Both were a little awkward. They complimented each other on what they’d been doing. “Your thing is sex, mine’s violence,” says Abbie, and they both cracked up. Abbie asked if Mick knew they were playing at the site of the 1968 Democratic convention. “Sure I know,” said Mick. “Anita and I just came from the Washington Moratorium,” said Abbie. “Great. There was Mitch Miller, or maybe it was Pete Seeger, leading the crowd in ‘Give Peace a Chance.’ ” “Why not?” said Mick. “I’ll give peace a chance,” said Abbie, laughing, “one more chance.” A joint came by and they took a few tokes. Abbie wandered over to Ronnie, who was reading contracts. “Hey, man, you the cat to see about the money?” Ronnie looked up guardedly at this freak in the inner sanctum. “See, we could use some bread for our trial, you know, the Chicago 8. I promise I’ll pay you back right after it’s over.” “No,” said Ronnie with utter unconcern. Abbie went back to Jagger. “Could you lend us some money for our trial? It’s expensive making the revolution.” “We’ve got our own trials,” said Mick. He slipped on his deerskin moccasins. Abbie was left hanging. None of the other Stones seemed to know or care who he was. Mick Taylor asked him for a match. “Bunch of cultural nationalists,” Hoffman said, good-humoredly, as he left. Starting in Chicago, the feel of America changed. Real cities, with tall buildings and older architecture replaced the flat sprawl and unceasing growth of Los Angeles and Phoenix, and the flat, endless landscapes of the Midwest.

THE TOUR
maze of tunnels that snakes beneath the Garden. The Stones’ security, reinforced by the torpedoes, was pushed to its limits inside the Garden. The pressure to get backstage was unrelenting. By the time the Stones arrived in New York, their presence was felt everywhere. They were praised in the papers and criticized on television. The hard-rock radio stations had their over-amped deejays frothing at the mouth: “The Rolling Stones are in town! Get down! Get down!” The Rolling Stones fans were hyped into a Frenzy. At the edge of the Garden stage, by the barricade where the uniformed security guards stood, was where all that promotional energy that said “You’ve got to have it” slammed into “You can’t go back there.” The labyrinthine tales concocted by the fans, heightened by the general street rap in New York-where truth is never an obstaclewere spilled before the impassive guards: “I’m from Mr. Jagger’s doctor. I have an emergency prescription . . .” “These are urgent legal documents. The show cannot start without . . .” “Listen, you, my father is the attorney general of New York, and when he hears . . .” The mood could turn ugly when worship collided with force. “All you’re gonna get of the Rolling Stones, buddy, is to look at ‘em on the stage. Now back to your seat or you won’t get that.” “Fucking pig.” “I’m warning you.” “Pigfucker!” The Rolling Stones never saw this. Back in the dressing rooms, they were tuning up and holding court, entertaining friends. In New York, there was a smattering of stars. Janis Joplin was in the audience. Jimi Hendrix was in the dressing room. “Mick Taylor and I sat on a bench with Jimi Hendrix, who seemed subdued but pleasant,” remembers Stanley. “I told him about seeing Little Richard in Los Angeles, and he said, smiling as if it cheered him up to think about it, that once when he was with Richard, he and the bass player bought ruffled shirts to wear onstage, and Richard made them change: ‘I am the beauty! Nobody s’poze to wear ruffles but Richard!’ ” Mick Taylor handed his guitar to Hendrix and asked him to play. “Oh, I can’t,” he said. “I have to string it dif-ferent.” Hendrix was left-handed, but he went ahead and played the guitar upside down, wizard that he was. As Hendrix played, I went into the bathroom to talk to Jagger, who was putting mascara on his lashes. Hendrix had tried to take Marianne Faithfull away from Mick, and he wasn’t about to stand around and listen to him play, up-side down or sideways. Jagger seemed distracted, but I figured it was because he was about to go onstage. I didn’t know that elsewhere in his life a black girl was telling him she was going to have his baby, and a blond girl (who two weeks ago had been threatening to join the tour) was telling him good-bye. Back at the Plaza in a few hours, Jo would write in her notebook, “Tried talk Mick imposs-concert fantastic-Mick better but must keep his mind on necessary things.” At that moment the most necessary thing for Mick to do was to hit the stage with the Stones and 134
THE TOUR
“Mick Taylor handed his guitar to Hendrix and asked him to play. ‘Oh, I can’t,’ he said. ‘I have to string it different.’ Hendrix was left-handed, but he went ahead and played the guitar upside down, wizard that he was.” STANLEYBOOTH
Jill Greenberg, author of Monkey Portraits, captures astounding photographs of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring creatures.
A top celebrity portrait photographer, Jill Greenberg has a unique ability to coax powerful emotions out of her subjects—human or animal. Her portraits of bears, collected here for the first time, surprise and engage. We encounter cubs as cute as a child’s Teddy, grizzlies that look like they might swallow you whole, and Polar bears seated in Sphinx-like tranquility. Full-grown brown bears, grizzlies, black bears, Polar bears, and bear cubs are photographed on location against a portrait backdrop. The poses and facial expressions are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying, and sometimes unexpectedly human. Alive with Greenberg’s signature lighting and seen through the unique perspective of her lens, these startling bear portraits bring us face to face with our fears and fantasies.
• Monkey Portraits (978-0-821-25755-5, Bulfinch, 2006) was a surprise hit, generating great press, including a Good Morning America interview and an eager fan base. • Jill Greenberg is one of the most highly sought after commercial photographers working today. She is routinely contracted by major publications, and her work has been featured in several print ad campaigns.
