Community Acupuncture
Acupuncture is effective for many conditions. It can improve sleep, digestion, energy level
and mental clarity. Relax, fully clothed in chairs or
lying on yoga mats and blankets. After a brief conversation about your condition, needles are placed in
appropriate areas (arms, hands, legs, feet and/or
ears) and you rest. Acupuncture is quite helpful at
reducing stress, physical pain and emotional upset.

Main Line Architecture:
Inventing the Manorial Suburb
After the Civil War, a new elite residential
landscape grew up around the edges of the city,
populated by the vividly individualized residences of
industrialists and financiers. They decamped by the
modern steam-powered trains outside the city and
hired the best architects to design massive, often
rambling, medieval-style houses. Their venerability
suggested they were intended to last for generations
as family seats; they didn’t, and most are gone.
Follow some of the visual and textual documents
that give a sense of this lost landscape.

Africa: The Literary Record
Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln and
the Paradox of Greatness
“Greatness” is an honor rarely bestowed. And Abraham Lincoln, until the Civil War, was a highly unlikely
candidate. This sesquicentennial year of the start of
the Civil War is an opportune time to explore how he
was elected without a majority, with the merest of
political, military or administrative experience. His
triumph over personal handicaps tells us much about
the man — and about the Americans who honor him.

FDR and the
Paradox of Leadership
Franklin Roosevelt was unquestionably a leader. The
only man four times elected President, he was at the
helm during our deepest depression, and then during
the biggest war in human history. Study the challenges he faced and how he addressed them. What
qualities made this late-blooming child of privilege
such a success?

law in Shakespeare
Shakespeare & the Law:
The Merchant of Venice
Law, equity, mercy, justice — which are
the appropriate standards for judging Shylock and
other characters in the play? Did Shylock get a raw
deal? Was the outcome of his trial fair? Just? Legal?
We will see that the conflict and outcome in the play
mirror conflicts in the systems of judging that were
evolving in the English courts at that time. Class is
the first in a series on how law in many Shakespeare
plays may offer insights into how legal systems,
applied and misapplied, affect the ordering of human
and international relations today.

Jane Austen in Books & Film
French Voices: Colette & Duras
Austen is considered by many to be the
second greatest writer in the English language after
Shakespeare. We will focus on two of her novels,
Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion, and compare
similar scenes from films that have been made of
these works. There will be close readings of passages, and discussions about character, themes and
writing style. We will also consider her popularity and
the industry that has grown up around her novels.
Then you can decide for yourself about her greatness.
Bring a copy of Pride and Prejudice, having at least
read the first two chapters.
Susan Lear Weisgrau, English Teacher, Member JASNA
Discuss two contrasting tales of modern
marriage (“The Cat” by Colette and “Moderato

fame was enhanced by the whiff of scandal surrounding their lives.
