I love this quote from “All the Stars in the Heavens.” Loretta Young was talking about Edna Ferber, the novelist.

“She told me something that has stayed with me. Ferber said, ‘Beware the clowns. The leaders who start out as jokes – people make fun of them, they’re caricatures, cartoons in newspapers, and people decide they are harmless. These men are the most dangerous. The day comes when thy use their power against their own people.’”

I thought it was so insightful and applicable to our present day.

Our book club chose “All the Stars in the Heavens” by Adriana Trigiani as our August selection. Most of us liked the view of Hollywood, some thought it was too long, and one said she felt as though she was reading a soap opera. Personally, I enjoyed it. My parents and I used to watch Loretta Young on television and I remember her as a lovely woman. This book didn’t mar that image for me. I admire the fact that she held on to her Catholic faith, prayed the rosary, went to confession and attended Mass. She wasn’t what some think of a typical “starlet.” She worked hard and cared about the people she loved. I truly enjoyed this book and thought it ended rather abruptly. I could have read more.

  2. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
