Charles Krauthammer, a question
Lucky One
serious motorized wheel chair. He was immobile from the neck down, it
appeared. Now a few months later he is far more comfortable, can turn
his upper body, etc. Does anyone know what happened to him?
Accident, surgery?

Saw that polka-dot faced guy with the white hair and beard...Dr. Gary
something, from Stanford. He takes breaks from scribbling hieroglyphics on an
eraseable to tell people he needs more money to carry on this good work.
Well, Sunday they showed him riding an Arabian horse that had to cost in the
serious $100K's, around a pricey ring, complete with hurdles. Then he got the
highly trained animal to stand almost perfectly still, while both their heads
tilted in a prayful pose. (the poor animal's head had one of those illegal
harnesses on to make his head do that of course. Horses don't pray.)
So, uh, I guess he isn't exactly lieing when he says he needs more money.
~That~ kind of worship costs a lot!

I remember he was showing off his home ( and it WASN'T in downtown LA) and
there were seven blonde women in various shades and lengths of white gowns
making a salad in his kitchen.
He said he never "knew" them, and that they are his prosletites...
Uh HUH!!
Scramble those words around and can we say....'ho?!

Vicki Hearne:
Degas, for example. While I was brooding unhappily on how one
might untangle the ideas of kindness and viciousness symbolized by
the curious belief that Rome was founded by a wolf, I went to a large
Degas exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and
there found a painting called The Fallen Jockey. It shows a rider flat
on his back, and a horse freaking out. The posture of the jockey
is that posture or rapt contemplation familiar to most riders, during
which one considers anew the wonders of the sky, a meditation that
gives way to the mundane, the bone-by-bone safety check and so on,
and rapidly also to a question about whether one is going to be able
to catch the sucker before he does himself or someone else an injury.
The horse in Degas's painting is at all angles to nothing in
particular, as horses are when the rider falls and the comfortable
and crafty order of things has rudely vanished. There are various
failures in the saddle that one speaks of as cases of ``dropping''
the horse, and falling off is the ultimate way of dropping the
horse, which is why falling off is frowned on - it is a training error.
When you fall off, you precipitately abandon your commitment to
the horse, and the horse finds this upsetting and makes wildly
energetic poems on the subject of things falling apart and the
center not holding.
I went through the exhibit with earphones, listening to the tape
guide. About this painting there was a great deal on the crumpled,
broken, lifeless form of the jockey, and the painting is supposed
to be about the finality of death. This passage in the guide's
remarks was a piece with the whole, which was about the terrible
things Degas was able to see, was obsessed with seeing. About,
in short, the anguish of the artist.
But that jockey isn't dead, no way is he dead. Nor is he
crumpled and broken. He is just suddenly in a position to gain
that perspective on the sky that is one of the visionary building
blocks of the knowledge of riding. Degas would have seen it
hundreds of times, would have known that in a moment the
jockey will begin to stir, trying out his breathing apparatus, and
the moment of celestial insight will be gone except as a memory
of those particular heaven-wide dimensions of the art of riding.
This is a vision you can't get on purpose. You can't, for instance,
go lie on your back in a meadow and get it, because the vision comes
only from the sharp gaze that occurs when you are unexpectedly translated
from an upright and even lofty posture, a posture that gives you
a view of the ground only - a sweeping view to be sure, a magnificent
view in which speed is an aspect of the articulation of rock and tree,
but still a view of the ground. You can't see the sky from up
there because you are the sky. Then, without the mediation of time
or step-by-step gymnastics, you become, all at once and of a suddenness
beyond the analysis of physics, the ground. Now you can see the sky,
see what you once were and will be again.
You also can't get this vision by, say, studying falling and planning
to fall onto your back. It comes only in the context of another plan,
a transcendent plan of order that sometimes transcends the planner.
This whole visionary business is a precipitate, incautious affair,
not the sort of thing you want going on in the Metropolitan.
The main thing is that this jockey is _not dead_. The dark
question is, Why is the art historian so eager for him to be dead?
What twists of the human mind, what devious horrors of bland
intellect are we here confronted with?
The art historian is eager for him to be dead because our species
is uncomfortable when art and newspapers tell different stories,
and newspapers tend to win out ...

Yes, but he is clearly recovering as I stated. Accident? Surgery?

Dr. Gene Scott. And, yes, he makes a pretty good living. The IRS
finally gave up a few years ago trying to audit all the shell
corporations he's created.

He is scheduled to be part of Calvin College's January Series of
speakers and he is one I intend to make time for.

His accident occurred while he was still a med student at Harvard.
Several of his mentors tutored him at his bedside, and he received an
MD. I wonder why you wrote that he was a successful psychiatrist?
He did,indeed, become a shrink, but if you've seen his appearances on
TV on Saturday evenings, he knocks psychiatrists and mental cases with
the same disdain as he does for "liberal lefties".

So, basically, you are saying he doesn't like Reeves because he uses
his wheel chair as a crutch? <badda boom, leaving the room>
