Discord Indeed: Gospels According to Tom, Dick and the Hairy One By Richard Lord Contributing Writer

ny of us who streamed straight from our adolescent angst phase into an Existentialist period will probably be familiar with Jean-Paul’s Sartre’s play No Exit. It was, after all, an easily digested, entry level text into the murky depths of Existentialism. Sartre’s play has three drearily departed souls consigned to spend all eternity locked together in a drawing room as Isaac plays Jefferson, Brian McCann plays Dickens, Charles McMahon plays Tolstoy. their mode of damnation.

But whereas Sartre’s forlorn trio was composed of totally made-up characters, Carter has enlisted three towering historical figures for his opus. He’s put our third president, the most celebrated Victorian British author, and the Russian literary dynamo together in a locked room and then let the inevitable frictions start sparking.

Philadelphia’s annual 2-day Labor Day concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, sponsored by Live Nation, has been drawing thousands of people since its inception 8 seasons ago. Called “Made in America” (MIA), when the festival began it was briefly criticized for being “too white” and not diverse enough. Since that first concert, organizers have gone to extreme lengths to balance the equation. Rap and hip hop became an essential part—the majority part-- of the Parkway concerts but it was (and is) the rap and hip hop of the woke variety that is promoted by CNN. Live Nation’s contention that the MIA festival also includes pop and electronic music has always been an exAQUARIUM aggeration.

cover that their agreeing on a Gospel is a hopeless task, as the different ways they view divinity and the historical Jesus are just too divergent to ever allow compromise. They also quickly discover that the personalities of top-tier geniuses such as themselves are anything but compatible. As in Sartre’s No Exit, the three characters expend some energy picking at each other, before each is forced to admit that they may not actually have earned the revered status they enjoyed. As you might expect with a work that throws three famous authors together in a small, locked room, this is most definitely a “talky” play. In theatre, talkiness is often considered a major flaw, but in this play, where the talk is so rich and vibrant, it becomes a virtue. Another virtue: this is a diligently researched play. (Playwright Carter tells us that he spent 20 years just on the research, and another ten years writing the play.) It’s packed with historical and biographical tidbits that not only provide depth to the characters, but enhance the interaction between them. You’ll definitely enjoy Discord more if you know something about the lives and careers of the three historical figures. But even if you’re admirably familiar with the lives and works of these three men, you’re likely to be surprised at some of what comes out during some of the barbed exchanges. The script is not only well-researched, it’s also well-written. (Carter claims that he has scratched out almost 200 drafts of this play.) The playwright has given us three sharply defined and nicely differentiated characters, and those sharp differences allow for the dramatic fireworks to eventually erupt. The three are also defined by their speech. You can hear echoes of Jefferson’s writings in his dialogue, float on the brisk waves of Dickens’s prose in his speech, and get braced by the insistent preachiness in Tolstoy’s speeches. More, the author has sprinkled in some sly, well-placed

humor in the script, not surprising considering that Carter has served for many years as a writer for Bill Maher’s satirical TV shows. It’s not only Scott Carter’s script that allows us to see the triad as three clearly distinct personalities, it’s also the compelling performances of the Lantern Theatre cast and the discerning direction of Armina LaManna. All three performances are powerful and only strengthened by being played against the other two. Gregory Isaac plays Jefferson as a polished Virginia patrician with a serene Southern accent and a poised sense of noblesse oblige. You’re almost ready to take this Founding Father as a man incapable of even a blip of hypocrisy or inequity – until another character pokes deep holes in his shining image. At first, Brian McCann’s Dickens struts about posing as a supremely confident liter-

ary lion who is also the epitome of the British husband and father. Later in the play, he’s revealed to be a wounded hero showing the emotional sinkhole in his confidence. But then the focus shifts, and we see Dickens as quite ready to deliver wounds to others, even those closest to him. (That English accent could use a little more work though.) Charles McMahon plays Tolstoy as a fervently truculent son of Mother Russia convinced that he has uncovered the secret formula for saving the world. His conviction splinters when he’s forced to admit that the formula hasn’t worked so effectively in his own personal relationships. McCann does an admirable job of showing how the inner turmoil of his character appears in the outward agitation. Salutes are also due to set designer Lance Kniskern; costume designer Millie Hiibel;

lighting designers Shon Causer and Isabella Gill-Gomez; and sound designer Christopher Colucci, who also provided the very appropriate original music. Admittedly, this is not the kind of show that will excite everybody. But if you are a fan of the theatre of ideas, especially when you can see how the ideas infuse and define strong characters, The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy is a play you’ll quite enjoy. The digital Lantern Theatre’s production of The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy is available now through Dec. 19. After purchasing your ticket from the Lantern website, you’ll be able to choose when to launch the stream, after which you’ll have 72 hours to finish watching the show, ending on Dec. 19.

looking into, the bulk of the organization’s focus is aligned with the progressive policies of Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner. Philadelphia has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the nation. The goal of The Reform Alliance is the replacement of America’s justice system “with a restorative system that is fair, accountable and invested in rehabilitation, support and wellbeing.” All of this sounds quite benign on the surface but it is also suggestive that these grand “restorative systems” will end up in the hands of radical left. As of this writing, The Reform Alliance has certainly failed in one of its main goals: to “make communities safer and stronger.” Keep in mind that MIA organizers boasted that they were able to collect thousands of signatures in support of the Alliance during the 2021 festival. Supporting The Reform Alliance, of course, means supporting Larry Krasner. There was a time when the ACLU did some good things for the American citizenry, but that “do good” era is certainly over.

Philadelphia will mandate COVID vaccinations in food establishments By Victor Skinner The Center Square contributor

hiladelphia city officials will require restaurants and entertainment venues that sell food to demand all who enter show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, though there are exemptions for religious or medical reasons. “Starting Monday January 3, Philadelphia establishments that sell food or drink for consumption onsite will require that everyone who enters has completed their COVID vaccinations,” according to the city website. “Completing vaccinations means that they have received two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.” The decree applies to patrons, employees and children over age of five years, three months. Employees and kids will be required to have at least one dose by Jan. 3 and to finish the vaccine series by Feb. 3. The city is phasing in the mandate by allowing negative COVID-19 tests within the past 24 hours until Jan. 17, after which “everyone will need to be fully vaccinated.” The new rules apply to many, but not all, places where groups gather to eat indoors in public, including restaurants, cafes, bars, sports venues, movie theaters, bowling

alleys, convention and catering halls, casinos and food courts. It does not apply to K-12 lunchrooms, early child care facilities, hospitals, soup kitchens, congregate care facilities or residential or health care facilities. It also does not apply to places that typically sell food or drinks for offsite consumption, such as grocery stores, convenience stores or stores in the Philadelphia International Airport. “People with proof of valid religious or medical exemptions and children under five years and three months are exempt from the mandate,” according to the city website. Those with exemptions, however, still would need a negative COVID-19 test within the past 24 hours to enter establishments that seat more than 1,000. City Health Commissioner Dr. Sheryl Bettigole blamed the mandate on rising COVID-19 case rates, a new omicron variant of the coronavirus and the alleged risk of transmission from visiting indoors unmasked when she announced the decision Monday during a virtual news conference. “I don’t want to close our restaurants or the other types of businesses that sell food,” Bettigole said. “I want them to stay open and operate safely. “Since we can’t make people wear masks when they’re eating, we need to increase the vaccina-

tion rate of people in those situations.” “This announcement will help reduce the spread of COVID when people are enjoying the city’s restaurants and other establishments that sell food,” she said. Bettigole encouraged folks to report establishments that do not comply. “If you see an establishment not following the rules, you can call 311 and we’ll send out inspectors to educate them on the new mandate and to enforce, if necessary,” she said. Bettigole pointed to the city’s unvaccinated residents as the reason behind the move, and

DON’ T TEXT DON’ T TEXT AND AND

she encouraged those who have resisted to reconsider. “As the mayor said earlier, Philadelphia is doing a great job staying masked and getting vaccinated, but with hundreds of thousands

of Philadelphians who are eligible for vaccines but did not get fully vaccinated, we need this additional safety measure to make us safer and avoid some of the worst outcomes we’ve seen in other states,” she said.

“If you haven’t gotten your vaccine yet, there’s still time to get fully vaccinated before this mandate goes into effect, and you can keep going out to eat and to enjoy yourself at covered entertainment venues safely.”

performer, Travis Scott, after all, who announced at one of his concerts in 2015 for fans to jump the security barricades and follow their passion. “There’s not enough security to stop them all from hopping the fence,” he told the crowd. For that stunt, Scott, aka Jacques Bermon Webster, was sentenced to 1 year of court supervision after pleading guilty to reckless conduct charges. The rapper also made headlines that same year for kicking a cameraman off his stage. At the ill-fated 2021

Houston concert, Politifact reported that Travis Scott preformed for 37 minutes “as a mass causality unfolded.” In 1969, Mick Jagger, claiming he never knew the fatal stabbing of Meredith Hunter was taking place, kept on singing “Under My Thumb.” Scott’s Astroworld concert, or a trip to its theatrical stage name, Utopia Mountain, cost fans $350 a ticket (resellers got $993.00 per ticket). At this year’s Astroworld event, fans rushed the security barricades, knocking them over in a mad rush. Some saw this as evidence that Scott’s concert was “Satanic,” although this charge was later lam-

pooned in the press as absurd. Travis Scott has offered his condolences to the loved ones of the people who died. “I’m absolutely devastated by what took place last night,” he’s on record as saying. “My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival.” Scott then offered to cover the victims’ funeral expenses. Live Nation stated that it was “heartbroken for those lost and impacted at Astroworld.” Meanwhile, Philadelphia has its eyes set on the 2022 MIA Parkway concert when residents of the Parkway and the Museum area will either leave town or weather the two-day musical lockdown when the city is held hostage once again. You can be sure that the ACLU and The Reform Alliance will be there with their petitions and sign-in sheets, bringing in the masses -- while from behind the microphone audiences will hear the latest woke rap sounds of “F—k Trump” or whoever else happens to be on the Left’s current enemies list. One thing is certain: Philadelphia’s MIA crowds will never shout “F--k Krasner.”

Science Fiction for December 2021 By Henry L Lazarus Special to the Press/Review 2021 has been a memorial year for Fantasy and Science Fiction.

AK037 is the last surviving warbot of his model. Built for the war between Dalrea and Carthia on the planet Mervos using human technology, he knows his days are numbered. Then Dalrea makes peace with Carthia in order to attack the human settlement for more of the technology. After the first attack he is ordered to kill the local human ambassador, but he refuses to kill the man’s seven-year-old daughter. Then when his Mervon friend Harb finds a way to remove the inhibitions that make he obey orders, He decides to take Hannah across the continent and across the water to the human island. Michael Drakich’s Requiem For A Genocide (ebook ) is a wonderful tale of an impossible quest. Sometimes helped by Mervans and sometimes hindered, he slowly falls apart, determined to use his finals hours to help the girl get to her people, Wonderful.

Charlie N. Holmberg has an odd romance on a world with real gods. Because her fiancé loves another Ceris Wenden volunteers to become a Star Mother (paper from 47North), impregnated by the Sun, her child will replace a dead star in the sky. She expects to die at the birthing and go to the star mother heaven. But she doesn’t, and on returning to the human world, discovers that seven hundred years have passed. She decides to find her decedents who have moved

to another city, and along the way is helped by a godling who has escaped his chains. In the skies above the Sun and Moon are at war, which sometimes can damage human settlements. Very nice tale.

Druadaen was orphaned at 9 and raised in an archive. Working as an outrider in the Concentium of Dunarra, he starts finding that parts of This Broken World (hard from Baen) don’t make sense. Charles E. Gannon has a fun tale of Druadaen’s quests he tales along with a few soldier-of-fortune types including a magician. The Bent come out in hordes from their deep caverns every decade despite lack of enough food. Then there are the giants who are too big to even move, the dragons who fly with relatively small wings, and even a continent that appeared suddenly within the historic record. I really enjoyed this tale of exploration and can’t wait for the sequel that may provide the answers to the questions.

In 1928, a decade after a bunch of European countries invaded The US from Canada over a stolen microbe that allows telepathy, Liam Mulcahey is working for a very rich family as

a mechanic and is close friends with the son. He doesn’t remember being one of the Devil’s Henchmen who used the microbe to work together in their exoskeleton machines. The whole population of the US has been infected with a mild form of the microbe, allowing the creation of illusions. Unfortunately, there are evil plans afoot. A friend, Grace, helps release his memories with a drug added to Absynthe (paper from DAW). Brendan P. Bellecourt tells an exciting tale in which solutions lie under layers of deceit. Very exciting and I hope for more from Mr. Bellecourt.

David Bara tells of Jared Clement, a Robert E . Lee figure whose Rim Worlds rebellion from the 5 Suns system was over food and corruption. The five suns had been settled with generation ships from Earth three centuries before and was now suffering from over population. Nine years later, his former lover and second-in-command, Elara Devore, requests him to command the first faster-than-light ship to Trinity (paper from Baen). is She had risen to Admiral in the 5 Suns fleet and fears economic collapse. Trinity has resources to prevent that. So, with a small crew and the weapons he demanded before accepting the job, he sets out expecting an unhabited solar system with three livable worlds. That would have been boring. There are lots for fun ship to ship action, treachery, and enough unanswered questions to allow a sequel. This fun tale is complete in itself. Recommended. Tom Kratman, Justin Watson and Kacey Ezell

wonder what would have happened if Germans at the end of World War I decided to send a small expedition of rearmed Russian prisoners to rescue the Tsar and his family before they were murdered. The Romanov Rescue (hard from Baen) involves a spare Zeppelin, a bunch of captured arms, and a lot of daring. The tale is well researched and feels as though it might have been real. Genevieve Cogman may have concluded her fun tale of a multiverse ruled on the chaotic end by the Fae and on the Order end by Dragons. Separated from the multiple worlds is the Invisible Library whose agents keep the balance by collecting rare books. Irene Walker, working with her dragon prince lover Kai, and the great detective Vale, she has to face the Library’s greatest foe, her father Alberich, and find out why the ex-librarian turned against it. The reason is The Untold Story (paper from ACE) of the Library’s creation. Worlds are being destroyed and something is taking control of Librarian’s minds. The answer to both problems lies in the very heart of the Library where ancient beings will do anything to stop her. This is the usual fun melodrama that defines the series. Honor Harrington fans will enjoy her brief return in David Weber and Eric Flint’s To End in Fire (hard from Baen) The evil Mesan allience, responsible for genetic slavery, has set up two bolthole planets. Until Honor is called out of retirement to lead a fleet in attack on one of them, numerous zoom meetings on both sides are necessary to set up that final battle. This is a must for fans of the Honorverse. Hank Davis and

Christopher Ruocchio have a group of tales of Cosmic Corsairs (paper from Baen). DAW has an anthology of Valdemar tales by Mercedes Lackey with Boundaries (paper). Dr. Henry Lazarus is a retired Dentist and the author of A Cycle of Gods (Wolfsinger Publications) and Unnaturally Female

(Smashwords).Check out his unified field theory at henrylazarus.com/utf.html that suggests fusion generation requires less energy because only one frequency is needed rather than a full spectrum. It also explains dark matter, the proliferation of subatomic particles, and the limit of light speed for matter.

Pennsylvania’s proves she’s prepared By Nathaniel Lee Press/Review Correspondent

here’s no fear like the fear of a nuclear catastrophe. We’ve known this fear with the Three-mile Island incident and the nation was determined to prepare against nuclear devastation in the event of another similar incident. To ensure that we are prepared, we are extensively trained and tested twice a year to test our abilities to respond to the unthinkable. The people of Pennsylvania were recently tested and by all appearances, they did well indeed. “It was established after the 3-Mile Island accident in 1979 and the purpose is, number one, to ensure that the citizens living in and around power plants will be protected in the event of a nuclear power accident,” said FEMA’s Thomas Scardino, during a virtual meeting of regulatory agencies and members of the press in November of this year. The scope of the tests designed to assess the preparedness of emergency response and preparedness had a specific scope but covered a wide range of possibilities: “WE only deal with commercial nuclear power reactors. We don’t deal with test reactors or research reactors that are commonly found in some of the universities and military installations,” said Scardino The second objective was “to inform and educate the public about radiological preparedness.” The preparedness exercises are required biannually. “FEMA’s role in those exercises are to evaluate and assess the offsite radiological response plans by state and local governments and to determine if they could be implemented during an emergency. Part of that is the bi-annual exercise requirement.”

“The jurisdictions assessed by FEMA included the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the risk jurisdictions, they’re defined as counties and municipalities within a ten mile radius of the limerick generator station or what we call ‘the Plume Emergency Planning Zone’.” The jurisdictions in the Plume Emergency Planning Zone were Montgomery County, Bucks County, Chester County, 41 risk municipalities, 11 school districts, and 21 schools. Those outside of the ten mile radius of the nuclear facility, referred to as ‘support jurisdictions’ because their role is to serve as a support for evacuees in emergencies who are coming out of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zones in what are called “mass care or decontamination centers”. According to the FEMA website, some “ three million people live within 10 miles of an operating nuclear power plant.” In 2019, “there were 58 commercial nuclear power plants in 29 states producing approximately 20 percent of the nation’s power.” The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program (REP) helps educate residents, provides policies guidance, and evaluate emergency plans. Overall, the REP tests were wide spread. From

the way municipalities and jurisdictions responded to emergencies, to how the public is informed and evacuated, escape routes planned, even a simulation which tested how local authorities would respond if planned escape routes were blocked, were included in the tests for preparedness. Then there were evaluations of how law enforcement, volunteers and leaders responded in various scenarios. Pennsylvania demonstrated that it was prepared in the event of an accident at a nuclear facility, and let’s just hope that we won’t have one.
