Tony Cazeau began playing the piano when he was three years old under the tutelage of Mark Jordan, pianist for the Barrett Sisters. In 1986 and 1987 Tony won 2nd and 1st place for the State of Illinois Piano competition for his age range 12-15 years of age.
At six years old, my little sister dealt with the cognitive dissonance of this crisis by constructing a reality around herself as a member of a royal family under siege in a moated castle. She dug from her closet the Halloween costume our mother had sewn the year before and then refused to take it off, insisting we call her Princess Starburst. Over the course of the week we were stranded, her yellow ball gown grew grimy and tattered. As her elder by four years I played my role by piercing her fantasy at every occasion, with as much derision and cruelty as possible. Our mother believed it was natural for siblings to argue, and as a matter of principle did not intervene unless someone had resorted to violence or bad language.
Baden-Powell returned to Africa in 1896, and served in the Second Matabele War, in the expedition to relieve British South Africa Company personnel under siege in Bulawayo.[24] This was a formative experience for him not only because he commanded reconnaissance missions into enemy territory in the Matopos Hills, but because many of his later Boy Scout ideas took hold here.[25] It was during this campaign that he first met and befriended the American scout Frederick Russell Burnham, who introduced Baden-Powell to stories of the American Old West and woodcraft (i.e., Scoutcraft), and here that he was introduced for the first time to the Montana Peaked version of a western cowboy hat, of which Stetson was a prolific manufacturer, and which also came to be known as a campaign hat and the many versatile and practical uses of a neckerchief.[14]
The siege was lifted on 17 May 1900.[37] Baden-Powell was promoted to major-general and became a national hero.[38] However, British military commanders were more critical of his performance and even less impressed with his subsequent choices to again allow himself to be besieged.[32][35] Ultimately, his failure to understand properly the situation, and abandonment of the soldiers, mostly Australians and Rhodesians, at the Battle of Elands River Pakenham claimed led to his being removed from action.[31][32]
"I'm sorry if I cry through it," Camp began as she addressed a media luncheon hosted by the Utah chapter of the National Association of the Mentally Ill. NAMI chapters around the country have launched a "Campaign for the Mind of America" to keep mental health issues in the spotlight, including the reminder that "these are illnesses that put the whole family under siege," said NAMI Utah executive director Vicki Cottrell.
The Rabinowitz siblings were part of the great wave of Jewish immigrants who came to this country to escape the pogroms and outbreaks of anti-Semitic violence that were occurring throughout Eastern Europe. The world of the shtetl was one of privation and miseries endured. A familiar adage of the shtetl was the heartfelt lament, "If God lived here, His windows would be broken." For a poverty-stricken community increasingly under siege, religious faith served as both a solace and essential bond. But in the New World, faith was coupled with a practical ambition for material success, a dream now at least within reach for the uprooted Rabinowitz family.
In fact, Edward G. Robinson had been born Emanuel Goldenberg and was indeed related to Jerry's uncle Benjamin Goldenberg, who had married Lena's sister, Mary, before going into the corset business with Harry. At least one of Jerry's aunts, Jean Davenport, visited with Robinson when he was filming one of his early movies along the Palisades. Jean also played the piano for the silent movie houses in and around Jersey City. But she was the only one of the sisters who displayed such musical talent.
A family friend, Dorothy Gilbert, said, "My parents' home was within walking distance of where Jerry and Sonia lived. He would walk over, usually on Friday evenings, and he had a little violin with two strings, a broken down fiddle. And he would join us for Friday night dinner and get to our piano and play the violin tucked under his chin with one hand while playing the piano with the other hand. My mother and father just sat there in amazement at this little fellow. I will never forget it."
The burning of Hampton, like the destruction of Fredericksburg, Vicksburg, Atlanta, and Chambersburg, reveals that cities that came under fire during the Civil War provoked disputes about battles and sieges, and acts of retaliation and defense as military tactics. The presence of civilians in cities complicated these discussions, and helped to shape critiques of urban destruction as a military tactic.
