M
U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski gives the crowd a friendly greeting at the
Forward @ 50! Picnic on the Clubhouse I lanai on Sept 11.
Mikulski, who retires in 2017 with 30 years of Congressional service, was
one of several state and local politicians who came out to celebrate Leisure
World’s 50th anniversary, and to express well-wishes for a bright future.
For more on the picnic’s festivities, see page 4.
ouths are watering
in anticipation of
the opening of the
Clubhouse Grille, a new
restaurant that is set to replace
the Cascade Bistro and serves
lunch and dinner in a refined,
formal and lounge atmosphere.
Clubhouse Grille restaurant-goers can expect fewer
menu items than at the Terrace
Room, but all of which are
made fresh daily. Options
include soups and salads, sandwiches and burgers, as well as
heartier pasta, poultry, steak
and seafood entrées. Prices
range from $9.50 for a small
lunch to $26 for a steak dinner
with all the fixings.
“We’re going to try to do
everything very well,” said
Bobby Barton, restaurant
general manager. “We’re going
to have at least three dinner
specials per night hopefully,
and do different cocktail
appetizers, and pair those with
different wines and drinks.”
The dessert menu is still a
work in progress, but Barton
said customers should look
forward to indulging their
sweet tooth at the end of their
meal with a chocolate and
vanilla mousse served in a
martini glass or a fried cheesecake with ice cream on the side.
In a concerted effort by
management to meet the needs
of residents, the restaurant will

vestibule with comfortable
waiting area, a full-service
bar, and a fireplace and lounge
section where clientele can cozy
up to loved ones with a drink in
hand, and perhaps even enjoy
the musical styling of a local
pianist.
Marcia Hahn, Restaurant
Advisory Committee chair, said
the plan to revamp the restau-
rants at Leisure World began
a few years ago and has gone
through several committee
recommendations before finally
being approved by the Leisure
World Community Corporation
board of directors in early 2015.
“We wanted the Clubhouse
Grille to be different than the
Terrace Room,” Hahn said,
adding that the committee
envisioned the new restaurant
holding parties where the
atmosphere felt “cozy and a
little bit upscale.”

Barton echoed Hahn’s sentiments, stating that he expects a
slightly different crowd for this
restaurant, “[who] want that
kind of upscale place that stays
open a little later.”
Construction on the new
restaurant began several
months ago after The Cascade
Bistro officially closed its doors,
and Barton said in between, the
space was primarily used as a
banquet room while plans were
drawn up and revised for the
new and improved restaurant.

y 36 years of work in the restaurant business have
been quite revealing about human nature. You see,
besides professional therapists and hair stylists,
I believe people open up to bartenders and we hear many
personal, fascinating life experiences from our customers.
These can be positive things happening on one end to
unfortunately, sad, truly heart-wrenching tales. I believe I have
served all walks of life, from trade folks to a vice president
of the U.S. Along the way I have met many people and have
established long-term relationships.
Since my retirement and move to Leisure World in 2008 I
have discovered a never-ending choice of wonderful friends.
I now participate in clubs, classes and activities and have the
freedom to donate time through volunteering. Presently, I am
part of the wonderful committee that has planned and is coordinating the 50th anniversary celebration.
It is a blessing to have good health, and to share in the
enrichment and enjoyment this week of meaningful and fun
events will have for our community.
If we’ve met, I may not remember your name but will definitely know your drink preference.
Forward@50! Leisure World of Maryland’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is a week of memorable events for residents,

matters relating to emergency
preparation.” This includes
publicizing emergency preparedness information in coordination
with other LW committees and
local agencies and organizations.

ore than 350 residents

state dignitaries in
celebration of Leisure World’s
50th anniversary at the Forward
@ 50! Picnic on the Clubhouse
I lanai Sept. 11.
After a tasty lunch that
included fried chicken, hot
dogs, barbeque and coleslaw,
Maryland Sens. Barbara
Mikulski and Ben Cardin, Rep.
Chris Van Hollen and Montgomery County Executive Ike
Leggett each said a few words
on the positive impact the
community continues to have
on the surrounding region.
They also congratulated
Leisure World on 50 years
of vibrant, adult community
living.
“It [Leisure World] was a
new concept; it was new ideas,”
Mikulski said. “People who
were ready to retire didn’t
want to expire. They wanted
to be active; they wanted to be
engaged; they wanted to have
relationships; they wanted to be
part of the action and passions
of their time.”
She also remarked on the
outstanding Leisure World
voter turnout year after year.
Mikulski, who will retire at
the end of the 114th Congress
in 2017 after five terms in the
Senate, is the longest-serving
woman in the history of the
U.S. Congress. Rep. Van Hollen
is campaigning to fill her senate
seat, and he also commented
on the innovative qualities that
make Leisure World a special
place to live.
“The title of today’s gathering
doesn’t just say ‘celebrating
50 years’. It says ‘Forward at
50’, and forward is the mindset
of everybody here at Leisure
World who remains engaged
and active,” Van Hollen said.
The Leisure World Chorale
sang several patriotic numbers
throughout the program,
including “The Star-Spangled
Banner” and “This Land Is Your
Land.”
Attendees also observed a
moment of silence to honor
the 15th anniversary of 9/11,
remembering the 2,996 people
who lost their lives that day.
Montgomery County State’s
Attorney John McCarthy
acted as master of ceremonies
for the program. McCarthy
recognized several longstanding employees, as well
as the past visionaries who
helped make Leisure World
the premier community it is
today. He also paid a special
thanks to community member
Sandy Marks, 50th anniversary committee chair, for
working so diligently to make
the Leisure World 5oth anniversary celebration a reality.
Each dignitary received an
honorary copy of the Leisure
World 50th anniversary
commemorative book as a
token of appreciation.
Several who sat out on the
lanai remarked on the glorious,
breezy weather and relished the
opportunity to enjoy it outdoors
with neighbors and friends.
Resident Evelyn Perlmutter
said she purchased tickets for
the picnic because she wanted
to hear her friend sing in the
chorale.
“I think it’s a nice thing for
Leisure World to do, to get
everybody together and have a
celebration,” she added.
Other officials attending the
celebration included Maryland
Sens. Roger Manno, Craig
Zucker and Brian Feldman;
Maryland Delegates Maricé
Morales, William Smith, Jr.
and Ben Kramer; Maryland
Comptroller Peter Franchot;
Maryland Attorney General
Brian Frosh; Maryland Secretary of Aging Rona Kramer;

A
committee that began
in earnest over a year
ago with 19 members
whittled to just five, dedicated
comrades – Bud Tardiff,
Marian Altman, Fred Shapiro,
Billie Saunders and Jim Olsen
– who collectively produced a
book commemorating the 50
year history of Leisure World.
The 100-plus page book
titled “Leisure World of Maryland, The First 50 Years, 1966
to 2016” is available in hard
and soft cover versions. The
Foundation of Leisure World
sponsored the publication of
the book, which is dedicated
to Ross Cortese, founder of
Leisure World.
Tardiff, 50th Anniversary
History and Achievements
Committee chairman, said the
project was a labor of love that
saw all five members meeting
once a week for a year to
discuss their vision.
“We wanted to show how
a community was
designed and built and evolved
into a very manicured facility
for retirement folks,” Tardiff
said.
The committee’s challenge
was to recreate Leisure World
from its earliest days through
the present. Saunders acted as
unofficial historian, spending
hours in the Clubhouse I
basement culling material
from back copies of the Leisure
World News, which she said
was their main information
source. Meanwhile, Shapiro
went to work
gathering
photos.
“That’s
my favorite
picture,” he
says. Shapiro
points to an
old black and
white photo of
two lovebirds
crossing the
threshold
of their new
home, the
female lifted off the ground and
in the arms of her husband, as
if newlyweds once again.
The book is a goldmine of
information about people that
have been the fabric of the
community – notable guests,
staff and resident – as well as
the history of the community’s
founding and construction.
Saunders said she is proud
of the book, and glad to have
made four new friends.
“This is the best group I’ve
ever worked with,” she said.
Anyone interested in
purchasing a book for $25 can
pick up an order form in the
Clubhouse I E&R office.

ommunity members gathered at a ceremony to celebrate
the final collection of donated kitchen goods to local
charity A Wider Circle on Sept. 13 outside Clubhouse II.
Dr. Mark Bergel, founder of A Wider Circle, thanked Leisure
World for its donations - about 500 boxes’ worth, well above
the goal of 50 boxes - and said the mission of his non-profit
organization is to end poverty for one individual and one family
after another.
Poverty is a “tremendous social justice issue,” Bergel said. A
Wider Circle gives people “the chance to have a normal life, in
an apartment where they’re able to eat meals with their family,
talk about family issues, and have the stability that allows them
to then think about, how do I improve my life?”
Bergel added that the organization will furnish 4,500 homes
this year, and will receive donations from more than 25,000
homes.
Sandy Marks, 50th Anniversary Committee chairwoman,
thanked committee members Ruth Friedman and Marti Jacobs
for their tireless efforts in coordinating the six collections that
will provide a wealth of donations to poverty-stricken families
across the Washington, D.C., metro area.

Hot Off the Presses: Leisure World’s Early Reviews
by Leisure World News
I
n the same year the
trade magazine Practical
Builder named developer
Ross Cortese, the founder of
Leisure World communities,
as “the biggest home builder
in the United States,” the first
residents moved into their new
homes on Gleneagles Drive in
Leisure World of Maryland.
Two years earlier, the magazine had described Cortese as
having “regard for people and
the way they reasonably want
to live… He has thought to
provide what buyers want in
total living.”
In January 1964, the real
estate editor for The Washington Post reported on a decision facing the Montgomery
County Council, whether to
approve an application for
zoning amendments to permit
construction of a proposed
development “for an entire
community of adults.”
If development moved
forward, “how much well-matured citizens desire to live in a
planned retirement community
may get a first test in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan
area this year,” he wrote.
Eighteen months later,
accolades in the local press
continued for the new Maryland community before and
after it opened. Here are a few
examples:
The Washington Post,
October 1965:
“The Maryland version of
Leisure World is attracting
adult attention in the retirement-conscious Washington
area because the FHA-styled
package ranges from an effi-
ciency apartment for about
$2,000 down and $147 a
month to larger duplexes and
town houses that are paid off at
the rate of about $225 a month
after a comparable down
payment.”
The Washington Post, Scottie
Lanahan’s “News to me…”
column, April 1966:
“It is hard to describe Leisure
World without sounding like
a paid ad, because if you once
accept the basic premise that
life in such a highly organized
community is preferable to
loneliness, it is an absolute
jewel of its kind, and not a
desperately expensive jewel,
either.” Lanahan described
the buildings’ look as “more
that of a college campus than
of a bewildering new city, like
Reston” and concluded, “If
you’re gregarious, extroverted,

money for the extra efforts
of good architects, for good
landscaping with trees that will
show,…for the free minibuses
and for generous community
facilities and amenities.”
The Baltimore News American, 1970:
“Everyone’s here for the
same reason and everyone has
something in common with his
neighbors.... Here, you can – at
long last – be yourself, do what
you want to do and not have to
do anything you don’t want to
do. ...though it’s true the residents of the community have
survived the middle years of life
they’re not old by any means –
rather, they are living proof of
the fact that age is relative.”
Mid-Atlantic Country magazine, August 1986:
In an article entitled “Leisure
World is the Name, but Lots
of Activities is the Game,” the
magazine describes Leisure
World as “a small bustling town
...where golf carts cause more
traffic jams than cars.” Citing
the community’s security,
low-maintenance lifestyle and
activities, it said “the place is
appealing to empty nesters and
those who are ready to discover
and develop new talents.”

Episode 13
A Vision for Leisure World:
The Rest of the Story
by David Kipping
C.
Bill Courtright’s
narrative on Leisure
World’s first 10 years,
which this series about the
history of Leisure World is
based on, concludes at the end
of 1976. Here is a description
of some of the community’s
next 35 years based on various
sources of information, but
without the level of detail that
Courtright provided.
Courtright called his report
“The First Ten Years of a Five
Year Plan.” Perhaps that was
a little unfair; it was probably
closer to 12 years of an eightyear plan. Keep in mind that
the postponement of Mutual
5 sales in 1967 and construction problems with Mutual
14 (including with its sewer
connection) delayed development by about four years.
Mutual 19
After a flurry of development
in the area near Norbeck Gate –
Mutuals 15, 16 and 18 all broke
ground in 1976-1977 – the only
undeveloped land on the outer
circle of Leisure World Boulevard was the section between
the warehouse building (the
future site of PPD) and the
north boundary of Mutual
12. The next development
constructed by Rossmoor was
a group of three-story garden
apartments started in August
1978, built in two phases, and
incorporated as Mutual 19A
and Mutual 19B.
The Pines
In 1981, a somewhat
different type of development,
The Pines – Mutual 22, was
begun by Rossmoor Corporation. The first phase consisted
of one relatively large building
(unusual for Rossmoor) four
stories high and containing 94
units. The Pines was envisioned
as an “affordable” development
including some subsidized
units, but it apparently was
not very successful. This is
Construction of Building I of The Greens in 1984 marked the beginning of two decades when nine high-rises were
added to the Leisure World landscape. Photo by Leisure World News
an experienced partner. In
December 1980, he selected
International Developers,
Inc. (IDI) which had a good
reputation in the development
of large-scale high-rises, the
most famous of which was The
Watergate in Washington, D.C.
Although the land outside the
Leisure World Boulevard circle
was almost completely built
out, significant developable
land still lay on the interior
of the Boulevard. This land
was already zoned for taller,
11-story buildings and was
made available after some
adjustments to the golf course
were made.
the golf course. Started in May
1984, this complex consisted
of four buildings, each with
10 stories of residences plus a
ground floor with common areas
and interior garages. In addition, it also included a one-story
building that was intended to
house the property management offices for the complex.
This large development was
phased with Buildings 1 and 2
to be constructed first, followed
shortly by Buildings 3 and 4.
A high level Leisure World of
Maryland Corporation employee
was assigned to be the property
manager for the complex, but
as construction continued it
became clear that this fourbuilding complex was too big
and too difficult to manage in
an integrated fashion. Therefore, the first two buildings
(1 and 2) plus the separate
administration building were
declared as Mutual 20A, and
the other buildings (3 and 4)
were declared as Mutual 20B.
Construction of Buildings 3 and
4 began in November 1986.
The Greens
The first high-rise project
done by IDI, The Greens
(Mutual 20), is in the middle of
Clubhouse II
With the development of
the Greens (I and II) and with
Fairways South and North
In anticipation of Leisure World’s 50th anniversary
celebration, Leisure World resident David Kipping
researched and wrote a riveting story of the
founding of Leisure World of Maryland. This historic
account has been published in 13 “episodes,” once
a month since September 2015.
evidenced by the fact that the
planned Phase 2 (104 units)
and Phase 3 (178 units) were
never built. This venture may
have motivated Rossmoor
Corporation to take a closer
look at the kind of buildings
that they knew how to build
and the kind of buildings that
the market was asking for.
The Beginning of the HighRises
Rossmoor Corporation realized that the future of Leisure
World in Maryland, as well
as at other Leisure Worlds
across the country, lay with
construction of high rises. Ross
Cortese wisely understood that
building high rises was a very
different proposition from
building duplexes and garden
apartments and that he needed
coming soon, it became clear
that the facilities in Clubhouse
I were inadequate to meet the
needs of the rapidly growing
community. So, in 1988, a
new facility was constructed
near the Greens and named
Clubhouse II. It included a
320-seat auditorium, a large
indoor swimming complex, two
general-purpose meeting rooms
and a lobby. It also included a
bowling alley, an amenity that
many residents really wanted.
However, within about five
years the bowling alley was
very underused and was turned
into the current Fitness Center.
In 2002, Clubhouse II was
expanded to include meeting
rooms, a well-equipped
ceramics lab, exercise rooms
and spacious basement storage
space for Leisure World clubs
and organizations.
The Fairways
As early as 1973, space had
been allocated for a high-rise
(Mutual 17), and three holes of
the golf course were relocated
to accommodate it. But nothing
was actually built until ground
was broken for Fairways South
(now Mutual 17A) in 1989. This
was followed by a companion
building (Mutual 17B) in 1991.
Villa Cortese
In 1994, construction started
on Villa Cortese, a location
very close to Clubhouse I but
previously skipped over for
development. Villa Cortese
consisted of four mid-rise
buildings totaling 170 units that
are all part of Mutual 6C and
were constructed by IDI. The
last building (Villa Cortese 5)
was built by a Della Ratta, Inc.
and completed in 2013.
On With the High-Rises
The Greens and the Fairways comprised 1,560 units
and were the community’s only
high-rises between 1984 and
1996. Based on the success of
these high-rises, Rossmoor
and IDI embarked on an
aggressive building program
of new high-rises starting
with Turnberry Courts in
1997 and moving rapidly with
Vantage Point in 2001, Overlook in 2004 and ending with
Creekside in 2006. In about 10
years, 1,172 units were added
to the high-rise inventory.
Building 5 in Villa Cortese, the complex named after the visionary founder of Leisure World, was the last residential
building to be constructed in the community. It was completed in 2013. Photo by Leisure World News
Including Villa Cortese, the
Rossmoor Corporation and
IDI built a total of 2,902 highrise units, which amounts to
about 50 percent of the units
currently in Leisure World.
Regency Homes
In 2003, Rossmoor took a
different tack with the Regency
Homes. This is a development
of large single-family homes on
individually owned lots. Unlike
the other units in Leisure
World, this development is
organized as a homeowner’s
association. The development
also includes a few townhouses.
Ross Cortese and Bill
Courtright
Ross Cortese, the visionary
and founder of the Leisure
World concept, died Oct. 29,
1991 in Orange County, California – the location of the first
two Leisure Worlds. He was 74.
Bill Courtright, the author
of “The First 10 Years” and a
very active chronicler of Leisure
World, died in August 1996 in
Bellingham, Washington.
And thus we bring up to
date the story of Leisure
World – from Maryland
Mutual 1 through Creekside. In
September 2016, Leisure World
celebrates its first 50 years of
residential living.
With regard to the tenth
anniversary in 1976, Bill Courtright wrote: “Having passed
through a few lean years, we
now seem assured of a viable
community. … we look to the
future with optimism.” Almost
40 years later, his words still
ring true.

*Start Construction – The actual date is hard to determine. It is probably one
to three months after the legal declaration of the Mutual is filed, which is the date
shown in the table.
**By IDI – Mid- and high-rise buildings were built by IDI in association with
Rossmoor Corporation. All other buildings (excluding Regency and Villa Cortese 5)
were built by the Rossmoor Corporation’s construction division.
Zoning for high-rises by Montgomery County depends on location. Units outside the
Leisure World Boulevard ring are limited to a maximum of six stories – five residential
stories plus the ground floor for common areas and inside parking. Units inside the
Leisure World Boulevard ring are limited to a maximum of 11 stories – 10 residential
stories plus the ground floor for common areas and inside parking.
Crystal Cabaret Kicks Off a Week of Celebration
T
he Crystal Ballroom in Clubhouse I came alive in a
glowing, candlelit evening of dinner and music on
Saturday, Sept. 10. The Crystal Cabaret dinner and
show was sold out, with more than two hundred filling the
room from wall to wall. Above them, enormous silver, gold,
black and white balloons filled the recessed ceiling around
the sparkling chandelier. From across the hall, caterers
bustled in and out with dishes of food.
In the photos above, Julie Kurzava, Seth Kibel and their
band provide dinner entertainment; Sandy Marks, the 50th
Anniversary Planning Committee chairwoman, greets diners
and offers some commemorative words; and residents and

Fun and Fancy Captures 1960s Musical Spirit
T
he Fun and Fancy Theatre Group rocked a special performance that
contributed to Leisure World’s 50th anniversary celebration week,
performing “History of the ‘60s in Song and Dance,” directed by Joan
Bowar, on Sept. 11 in the Clubhouse II auditorium.
The troupe’s costumes and song selections colorfully captured the spirit of the
decade in which Leisure World was founded. In the photo above, women raise
signs demanding equal rights and sing that “women’s time has come,” and at
right, Steve Bennof croons of wearing “flowers in your hair...in San Francisco.”

Leisure Talk: What We Love About Living Here
Is it the amenities, the safety or the leisurely pace of life that has captured residents’ hearts for 50 years?
It’s all three, and then some! Photos by Leisure World News
“We have so many amenities
available to us – educational
opportunities, fitness center,
pools – all sorts of programs.
I never meet anyone grumpy
when I’m walking around;
everybody is pleasant. People
are happy here; I say hello to
total strangers. Its just a nice, friendly feeling.”
-Stan Hertzbach, Mutual 20B
“The security…Whenever I go out for a long
time, I feel very safe. I
don’t worry about the
house at all. I like that.”
-Lucia An, Mutual 12
“What I like most about
Leisure World is the safety
and the camaraderie and the
pleasantness of the people.”
-Ercell Marshall, Mutual 20B
“I particularly like
ceramics. When
I walked into the
studio, I said
‘this is for me.’
Eventually I gave
up all my other
activities and
ended up with ceramics. I guess
that’s my thing.”
-Terri Fiscella, Mutual 10
“It’s an active
community; I’m
very pleased
with the
surroundings
and maintenance of it. It’s
a friendly atmosphere and
has all kinds of accommodations,
and for older people like myself, its
comfortable here.”
-Milton Loube, Mutual 23
“I love the scrabble club
because the people are
warm and bright and
welcoming.”
-Sonia Friedman,
Mutual 19B
“It’s convenient; you don’t
have to do the yard work
anymore. Its really nice on hot
days to know that you don’t
have to go out and mow the
lawn.”
-Gail Bragg, Mutual 5
“Its very beautiful and
comfortable living, and I
love the people working
here; they’re very friendly
and kind.”
-Lark Keller, Mutual 19A

’50s, and even some jazz, to the
citizens of Maryland.
Alan Caldwell, a former high
school band director, leads
the band and it performs in

Cinematic Genius
O
n Sunday, Oct. 9, at
2:30 p.m. in Clubhouse
II, Ernest Liotti, the
music and cinema historian
of the Peabody Institute of
Johns Hopkins University, will
present “The Watchful Eye:
Alfred Hitchcock.”
Liotti, a very popular
speaker, returns to Leisure

discriminating style of cinematic direction. As the master
of suspense, Hitchcock left
an indelible mark on cinema
history and his artful hand is
evident in all his movies.
Liotti teaches a variety of
classes in the voice and piano
departments of the Peabody
Institute, as well as several
classes on American film
history.
He is also a long-standing
lecturer for the Peabody Road
Scholar program. He has
lectured extensively throughout
the Baltimore-Washington area
on a wide range of musical and
cinematic topics.
He has addressed audiences
across the United States and
Europe in venues such as
Brandeis University, Friends
of Tanglewood, and Spoleto
Festival USA on the history of
music and opera.
He is the founding director
of the DaCamera Singers, and
his conducting has received
excellent reviews in several
Washington and Baltimore
newspapers.
Suzanne Offit is the host for
this speaker.

A Closer Look at October Movies
T
he E&R Department
is pleased to present
“October Afternoons at
the Movies.” Films are shown in
the Clubhouse II Auditorium.
The first two movies were
rescheduled from August.
On Saturday, Oct. 1, at 2 p.m.,
the presentation is “Jimmy’s
Hall” (2015, 1 hour 46 minutes,
biography/drama/history, rated
PG-13 for language and a scene of
violence).
After being deported from
Ireland to the United States,
political firebrand Jimmy
Gralton (Barry Ward) returns
to his hometown a decade later
and reopens the dance hall he
once ran as a gathering place for
youngsters—much to the dismay
of community leaders.
On Saturday, Oct. 8, at 2 p.m.,
the presentation is “Ricki and the
Flash” (2015, 1 hour 41 minutes,
comedy/drama/music, rated
PG-13 for thematic material,
brief drug content, sexuality and
language.
Abandoning her family to
chase—and ultimately attain—her
dream of rock stardom, guitarist
Ricki Rendazzo (Meryl Streep)
returns years later to try to
mend fences. Unfortunately, her
estranged sons and daughter
want little to do with her ... at
first.
Free tickets to these two
movie screenings, limit two per
person, are required and can be
obtained from the E&R office in
either Clubhouse I or II, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 8:30
a.m. Please bring your Leisure

On Thursday, Oct. 20, at 1 p.m.
the presentation is “90 Minutes
in Heaven” (2015, 2 hours 1
minutes, drama, rated PG-13
for intense accident and injury
images).
Pronounced dead after a
horrendous auto accident, Pastor
Don Piper (Hayden Christensen)
unaccountably comes back to
life 90 minutes later, contending
that he went to heaven. But his
return to the land of the living
brings enormous physical and
spiritual challenges.
Free tickets to this movie
screening, limit two per
person, are required and can be
obtained from the E&R office in
either Clubhouse I or II, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 27, at 8:30
a.m. Please bring your Leisure

Pierre Dulaine, a ballroom
dancing world champion, fulfills
a lifelong dream by taking his
program, Dancing Classrooms,
back to his city of birth, Jaffa.
Jaffa is a poor, mixed suburb of
Tel Aviv where Jewish and Palestinian Israeli communities are
growing increasingly apart. For
10 weeks, he teaches fifth graders
ballroom dancing as a means to
change their and their families’
lives, by pairing Jewish and Arab
girls and boys as dance partners.
The film follows the lives of
three children forced to confront
issues of identity, segregation
and racial prejudice as they dance
with the other children.
A discussion will follow the
film.
The next movie matinee, “To

The film tells the story of Ruth

retirement complex. She meets
Johan, a young German laborer,
and both help one another to
face life and overcome their
problems.

n Parkinson’s Support Group
Sept. 20: Senior Source Coordinater
by Ray Weil
T
he next meeting of the
Parkinson’s Support
Group is on Tuesday,
Sept. 20, at 3 p.m. in Clubhouse
II. Beginning with the
November meeting, meeting
dates will revert to the second
Tuesday of each month.
The September meeting
features a presentation on
the causes and prevention of
falls. As many know, at our age
falls are a major health threat,
particularly for those with
Parkinson’s Disease (PD).
Our speaker is Mary Bulla
Sanchez, coordinator of Senior
Source at Holy Cross Hospital.
She holds a bachelor’s degree
from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County and
a master’s from Marymount
University. As coordinator of
Holy Cross Hospital’s busy
senior wellness center (almost
15,000 patient interactions in
FY 2016), she helps implement,
evaluate and administer health,
wellness and exercise classes
for seniors over the age of 55.
She will discuss common
sense hints, helpful reminders
and adjustments in our
surroundings that can reduce
the likelihood and severity of
falls. A business meeting will
follow for members and other
interested attendees.
In addition to bringing in
leading PD practitioners to
update members on the latest
improvements in treatment,
the Parkinson’s Support Group
acts as an information-sharing
forum among the members.
Since PD can affect people in
different ways, it is important to
discuss information on practices,
medications and other factors
that have proven successful – or
not – for those afflicted.
Caregivers and relatives
are strongly urged to attend
meetings. The meetings – held
each month except for June,
July and August – are open to
the public, and anyone with
an interest in PD and its treatment is invited to attend. For
further information, contact
Ray Weil at (301-598-3447) or

painting ceramics about 20 years
ago and joined the Ceramics Club in
2008. Since then, she has served as its

imagination, so she looks to Mother Nature
for inspiration: “If I can paint a flower
that looks like a flower, I’m happy.” She
also encourages others to paint even if
they think they can’t, saying, “just paint
between the lines.”

n Rossmoor Art Guild
Finding the Beauty All Around Us
by Ann Bolt
R
ossmoor Art Guild is celebrating
50 years of Leisure World of
Maryland’s existence by exhibiting
paintings of favorite spots around the
community. They can be viewed in the
halls of Clubhouse I during September.
Veterans Park is featured in several
paintings, as are trees, and walks,
buildings, people and homes. They were
created in pencil drawings, watercolor,
pastel, water mixable oils, oils and
acrylics. The public is invited to view
the exhibit and to cast a vote for their
favorite entry. Plaza Art in Silver Spring
has donated a gift for the winner, and
Michaels craft store supplied the Guild
with bags for all those purchases from the
art sale. Check out Maggi Mannarino’s
paintings in the Library.
Fall Classes
The fall art classes started this week, and
if you stayed too long at the beach, you still
have time to slide into a class and explore
the wonders of the art world. Classes are
a mix of beginners and those who are just
now able to get back to their art after that
pesky business of earning a living for 50
years. A lot of techniques, art supplies and
mediums have changed during all those
decades, so, in a sense, all students are
beginners. Or, they want to try another
medium so there is that awkwardness of
trying something new.
There is a theme running through a lot
of newly published art books attesting
to the value of play and exploration in

art. Enjoy the colors as they are freshly
squeezed out of the tube. Enjoyment may
not always have been high on the list 50
years ago, but the avalanche of learning
color wheels, elements, principles, value
studies and history were. A nice balance
of learning and enjoying the process
seems like a good compromise. Toss in the
experience of “being in the zone” and your
very artistic soul will be nourished as you
tune out the troubles of the world for a few
hours.
Staff Changes
There are some changes among the
Guild staff. Fran Call is absent from the
roster as she makes some life changes
involving Florida. Dan Ranhart is taking a
sabbatical from monitoring the Saturday
morning Open Studio. Teresa Milne is
taking a reprieve from showing the art
history videos. Patty Eaton retired from
hanging the monthly shows. This reflects
many years of dedication to the Guild, and
it is greatly appreciated. Now there’s a
great opportunity for others to step up and
help out, and the Guild saw a lot of that
lately as volunteers prepared for the Open
House and the 50th Anniversary exhibit.
The Guild is lucky to have so many willing
members, and a big thanks goes to all.
Come see the fruits of their labor.
n Gem, Lapidary and Mineral Society (GLMS) of Leisure World
Oct. 12 Program: ‘Precious Opal: Truth, Folklore
and Superstition’
by Mary Beth Mason
T
he next GLMS meeting is
Wednesday, Oct. 12, at 7
p.m. in Clubhouse II. Club
member Diane Grimes will speak
on the topic, “Precious Opal:
Truth, Folklore and Superstition.”
Opal is a hydrated, unstructured—or amorphous—form of
silica, its water content usually
varying between six and 10
percent. Because of its amorphous character, it is classed as a
mineraloid; in contrast, crystalline forms of silica are classified as
minerals. Deposited at relatively
low temperatures, opal may be
found in the fissures of almost
any kind of rock.
Opal’s optical density varies
from opaque to semitransparent.
“Common” or “potch” opal is
distinguished from “precious”
opal by its milky, turbid appearance, having an opaque nature,
also called “opalescence.” In
contrast, precious opal exhibits
a light-diffracting phenomenon
termed “play of color.”
The internal structure of
precious opal makes it diffract
light, and, depending on the
conditions under which it was
formed, the color presented falls
within a color spectrum from
colorless, through primary and
secondary colors, and on into
dark ranges. White and green
opals are the most common, black
opals the most rare.
Diane will explain the positive
and negative qualities that have
been associated with opals over
the centuries. Ancients believed
that fairies lived inside the gems
and brought good luck. Precious
opals were one of Queen Victoria’s favorite gemstones. She
prized them so highly she gave
each of her daughters a complete
set of precious opal jewelry.
Negative connotations were
associated with opals following
the publication of Sir Walter
Scott’s popular “Anne of Geierstein” in 1829. In the novel, the
Baroness of Arnheim wears an
opal with supernatural powers.
When a drop of holy water falls
on the stone, it becomes colorless
and the Baroness dies. Within a
year of the novel’s publication, the
sale of opals in Europe dropped

Sept. 27: Modern Detective Stories; What Our
Clubs Read This Summer
by Verna Denny
L
ynne Margolies, book club
leader, discusses the origin
and significance of the
modern detective story at “The
Sleuths” meeting on Tuesday,
Sept. 27, at 2 p.m. in Clubhouse
I. Her talk, “Formula for Social
Change,” examines how art and
culture reflect society. Lynne
enjoys mystery fiction, which,
like other formulaic fiction, is a
good example of this reflection.
She will examine how and why
the modern detective story
has changed to mirror our
perceptions of the link between
law and order and justice. All
are invited to attend.
“The Searchers” read New
York Times bestseller “Circling
The Sun,” an historical fiction
set in colonial Africa by Paula
McLain, the author of “A Paris
Wife.” Six of the seven members
attending liked the book a great
deal. They all found something
that interested them in the book
or something they could identify
with in place, time, story and
characters.
“Diversity Strong” read “A
Year of Wonders” by Geraldine
Brooks. Also historical fiction,
this is a story about how one
woman survived a plague in 17th
century England.
“The Rose Readers” celebrated its third anniversary.
They discussed “Saving Sophie”
by Ronald Balson. Some readers
thought the story too predictable; others loved it. Although
it is a work of fiction, the explanation of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict was quite interesting.
‘The Bookies” read “The Book
of Unknown Americans” by
Cristina Henriques. This was
a timely read because of the
current debate in our country
about Latino immigration.
The author brings together a
group of Latinos of different
backgrounds, puts them in an

apartment building owned by
a Latino and weaves a story
of love, forgiveness and, most
importantly, friendships. The
book illustrates the hardships
and joys this community experiences. “The Bookies” overwhelmingly thought this was
worthwhile reading and enjoyed
a lively discussion comparing
and contrasting the experiences
of some of their members who
are first generation immigrants
from Europe, to the Latino
experience today.
“Literary Ladies Who Lunch”
discussed “The Rainbow
Comes and Goes” by Anderson
Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt, a
touching conversation between
this famous mother and son.
“The Fall Readers” read and
enjoyed discussing “Stonewall” by Martin Duberman
about events that occurred in
June 1969 at the Stonewall
Inn in Greenwich Village,
New York. Riots there led
to the beginning of the Gay
Liberation Movement. Two
members shared their stories:
One who had visited the
Stonewall Inn numerous times
and one who lived down the
street. Members learned a lot
about that period. “The Suspensers” read “Curiosity Killed The Cat Sitter” by
Blaize Clement, a wonderful
summer read. It kept our
interest throughout the book.
We learned facts and behavior
about cats that most of us never
knew. Many “Suspensers” liked
the cat’s name, Ghost. Members
had a few criticisms of the
book: the “gay” agenda was a
stereotype, possibly secondary
to the 2006 culture, and the
character’s change in the last
three pages.

groups. For further information,

Oct. 13: Rally to Get Out the Vote for Van Hollen
by Emile Milne
yeing victory on Election
Day, Leisure World
Democrats will gather
for a get-out-the-vote rally to
show support for U.S. Senate
candidate Chris Van Hollen
on Thursday, Oct. 13, from 2-4
p.m. in the Clubhouse I Crystal
Ballroom. Rep. Van Hollen soundly
defeated Rep. Donna Edwards
of Prince George’s County to
win the Democratic nomination in the April 26 primary
election. He seeks to fill the
Senate seat being vacated
by the iconic Sen. Barbara
Mikulski, who is retiring after
30 years in the Senate, longer
than any other woman in
history.
In the general election, Rep.
Van Hollen faces Republican
Kathy Szeliga, a state delegate
who represents parts of Baltimore and Harford Counties.
First elected to Congress
in 2002, Rep. Van Hollen is
an influential member of the
House leadership. He is widely
respected for his expertise on
the national budget.

Before ascending to the
House of Representatives, he
served four years in the Maryland House of Delegates and
eight years in the Senate. An
attorney in private practice for
10 years, Van Hollen is a graduate of Swarthmore College,
the John F. Kennedy School
of Government at Harvard
University and Georgetown
University Law Center. He
lives in Kensington with his
wife. They have three children.
After a summer campaigning
hard around the state, the
Congressman’s appearance at
Leisure World is important in
the run-up to the Nov. 8 election. Leisure World encompasses three voting precincts
in Van Hollen’s 8th Congressional District, and its 8,500
residents include one of the
highest concentrations of
activist Democratic voters
in the state. In an election
where Democrats are aiming
to retake the U.S. Senate
majority, this contest is a must
win.
Ballot Initiatives
On Election Day, the ballot
will include several initiatives
addressing proposed changes
related to Montgomery County
government. At its Thursday,
Oct. 13, meeting, the Democratic Club will distribute
printed information about
these initiatives. The information will also be published in
the Leisure World News and
the Donkey Dispatch newsletter as it becomes available.

n Fun and Fancy Theatre Group
Seeking Performers for Our Fall and Spring Shows
by Phyllis Lovett
T
his summer Fun and Fancy has
been unusually active because of
preparation for our part in the
celebration of Leisure World’s 50th
anniversary. We are proud that our
organization has been alive and well in
this community for the better part of the
last 50 years. Meetings and Membership
Meetings take place on the first
Wednesday of most months at 7:30 p.m.
in the Clubhouse II auditorium.
The business meeting lasts about 30
minutes, and it is followed by a 30-45
minute show plus a social gathering in
one of the two rooms just up the hall
from the auditorium. At the end of 2015,
we had 336 members, according to Pat
Leanza, our treasurer.
An annual membership fee is $8, and
non-members who would like to attend
can pay $3 per person at the door each
month.
direct a show are presented to the Fun
and Fancy board and are rarely denied.
Many members have learned to direct
by first auditioning and performing
in our shows. They often start out
performing small roles in various shows,
which helps them understand the
directing process.
Hopefully, when our experienced
directors eventually retire, our newbies
are ready to take over.
Most of our performers do not have
professional experience, only the desire
to perform. Of course, we are always
thrilled when a pro joins our team, and
most of the time, that pro is happy to
become a teacher for our beginners.
If you have an interest in performing,
you will experience exceptional fun and a
feeling of belonging.
Outreach Programs
A group of about 20 Fun and Fancy
members, under the leadership of Nancy
Marchone Koski, have built a reputa-
tion for performing at assisted living
communities.
All members are welcome to join
the group, which since July 2015 has
entertained at 19 different communities,
mostly in Montgomery County. These
outreach programs are free (unless the
performance is at Leisure World), but
donations are appreciated.
When Nancy receives a request for an
outreach program, she informs the group
of the date. Members let her know if they
are available and what numbers they
plan to perform.
At the one rehearsal for the program,
the group schedules carpools for transportation. We have two accompanists, a
master of ceremonies and a technician,
and our outreach audiences – residents,
guests, caretakers and even facility
management – give us an excellent
reception. Some organizations for years
have looked forward to the entertainment
we provide to their residents.
October Show
Auditions for our October show, “60’s
Broadway,” will be held Monday, Sept.
19, and Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 7-9 p.m.
and Wednesday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m.noon in the Clubhouse II auditorium.
The show is on Wednesday, Oct. 5,
and will be directed by Jerry Payne. If
you have any questions, call Jerry at
(240-560-6783).
Major Shows
In addition to our monthly shows, we
perform several major shows each year
that are directed by professionals.
Tickets for these shows are more
expensive than the monthly shows
because we pay the directors and provide
reserved seating.
In late November, Fun and Fancy
presents the play “The Curious Savage”
by John Patrick and directed by Carol
Hillmann.
Hillman has directed many plays and
musicals for us through the years. Our
performers and audiences alike have
long admired her creativity and balanced
perspectives of story lines.
Spring Musical
Our president, Joan Bowar, has
appointed Michael Schwartz to chair
a reading committee that will select a
musical to be performed mid-May of
2017. Member Directors and Performers

free tickets to our forum,
“Why Transitioning to
Organic Lawn and Garden Care
Matters,” on Monday, Sept.
26, from 1:30-3 p.m. in the
Clubhouse I Crystal Ballroom.
Tickets are available in the
Clubhouse I E&R office.
The program begins with
a short documentary film, “A
Chemical Reaction,” followed
by three speakers: Paul Tukey,
chief sustainability officer at
Glenstone museum; Diana
Post, president of the Rachel
Carson Landmark Alliance;
and Donna McDowell, a retired
environmental attorney.
Each speaker will address the
complexities of pesticide use
and answer questions from the
audience.
A new law banning the use of
cosmetic pesticides on private
lawns in Montgomery County
will take effect Jan. 1, 2018.
Leisure World will need to
abide by this law, too.
LW Green is concerned about
how pesticides might affect us,
our pets and the plants we eat.
We believe in pursuing alternative, non-chemical solutions to
growing our crops and maintaining our lawns.
Join us for this interesting
and educational event.

n Computer Learning Center
Providing a Much-Needed Service to Our Community
by Jessie Reynolds Fitzpatrick
R
ecently some residents
have asked us about how
the Computer Learning
Center (CLC) operates and
whether their homeowner
fees support the center, and
we would like to clear up any
confusion they and any others
may have.
The CLC is operated by
the Leisure World Computer
Center, Inc., a non-profit organization with a board of directors.
It is self-governed by volunteers
and self-sustained through
philanthropic donations and
careful budgeting. It recently
received a generous donation
from the Foundation of Leisure
World, another self-sustaining
non-profit. Both groups are
completely separate entities
from the Leisure World of Maryland Corporation (LWMC).
Any and all homeowners
association, condo and co-op
fees are paid to LWMC and
cover the items defined in each
resident’s homeowner contract.
Residents’ money does not fund
the center.
All residents are welcome
to use the center as long as
they abide by its rules and
guidelines, which primarily
are: Show respect and courtesy to others while using the
center. Refrain from loud and
disruptive behavior. Patrons
are asked to pay a small fee for
their printing; black and white
copies are five cents per page
and color copies are 15 cents
per page. This money helps
to pay for printing supplies.
In contrast, the public library
charges one dollar per colored

The Power of Preview, Part 3
by Brent Malcolm
T
his is the final article
on Preview in which I’ll
describe its powerful
image editing features.
To begin, you must first
understand how to select image
content.
Preview offers five different
selection tools, each of which
may be more or less appropriate depending on what you
want to accomplish. You’ll use
the Rectangular Selection tool
the most, but the Elliptical
Selection Tool and Smart
Lasso Tool also can be helpful.
Finally, the Instant Alpha Tool
is useful for making image
backgrounds transparent.
You find these tools at the
left end of the Markup toolbar.
To access the first selection
tools, click the Selection
Tools button and choose from
the drop-down menu. (This
menu is only available when
you’re working on an image.
When a PDF is open, only the
Rectangular Selection tool is
available.) Once a selection is
made, blue adjustment handles
appear at the edges of the
outline. Once you’ve made a
selection from the image, you
can Copy (⌘-C) or Paste (⌘-V)
your selection in another image
or document.
Use the Instant Alpha button
(it looks like a magic wand)
to replace a colored area from
an image, replacing it with
transparency. That’s essential
when you want irregularly
shaped images, such as logos
or product photos, to float
above a Web page’s background
color or to have an image’s fill
color match the page color. It
works only with image formats
that support transparency,
including PNG, TIFF and GIF.
If you try to use it on
an unsupported file format
such as JPEG, Preview asks if
you want to convert the file to
PNG.
Now that you know how to
make selections, you can use
that to crop an image. Once
the selection is made, select
Tools > Crop (⌘-K). Instead of
cropping, consider moving that
selected image to a new document. First do a Copy, then
Select File > New from Clipboard, and Preview will create a
new document containing your
copied data.
I hope that this series of
articles on Preview has opened
your eyes to the myriad
features of the application and
the many ways it can make your
life easier.

The subject for the Tuesday,
Sept. 27, meeting is an introduction to using and enjoying
Twitter presented by fellow
Washington Apple Pi member
Jonathan Bernstein. Want to
keep track of current trends
or follow the latest developments? Have an unusual
interest you’d like to promote
or to track more closely? Want
to communicate with a person
or business that by other channels isn’t practical to reach?
Want to keep this going on the
fly, whether on desktop, laptop
or mobile device? Must you
“tweet” to use Twitter? What
does advertising look like in
Twitter? As in all social media
tools, what are privacy issues
and options?
These are some useful
features of, and questions
about, this social media tool
that he will discuss and demonstrate. For more information,

Fall is the time when many Realtors catch their breath. They’ve been working hard throughout the spring and summer to help young families buy homes in time for the start of school.
Now the leaves are threatening to turn, so many Realtors begin to study the ads for travel to Hawaii. The bulk of their year’s work is done.
But at Leisure World, the school calendar doesn’t play a part in the resale market. So if you’re looking to buy at this well-established, popular community, you’ll want to work with a
Realtor who takes you seriously, regardless of what the calendar or the Hawaii ads say.
That Realtor is Karen Rollings. She has been a leading producer in Montgomery County, MD, for more than 30 years. A substantial part of her success has come at Leisure World. She
knows the ins and outs of the development, its pluses and minuses and its quirks. Many Realtors call themselves experts, but at Leisure World, Karen Rollings genuinely can.
What does that mean for you? It means that she will give you her undivided attention and her expertise. It’s based on experience with clients just like you. Her job is to get you the
house you want at Leisure World, for the right price, in the shortest possible time. She takes this role very seriously, even if seeing a deal through to conclusion isn’t always easy. The members of The
Karen Rollings Team operate in the same way. It’s little wonder that Karen and her team were recently cited as one of the top real estate operations in the Washington area by both Washingtonian and
Bethesda Magazines. So if cooler temperatures have you thinking Leisure World, think Karen Rollings. She will be your agent in the true meaning of the word. She will scrap for you, study for you and
guide you. She knows what to do. When you call Karen, you will always be glad you did

Next Hikes Go to Wheaton, Rockville and Potomac
by Beth Leanza
Movies
We do love the movies! Beginning in
October, we will show a movie in the auditorium on a Saturday night at 7 p.m. Watch
for an email.
We also like going out to the Rockville
Majestic 13 theater after having dinner at
the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant in
downtown Rockville.
Golf
One of our members helps Boomers try
golf. Sometimes she arranges group lessons
with the golf pro; sometimes we have “best
ball” outings, in which all players move their
golf balls up to the best position that has
been shot and continue play from there. It’s
quicker and less frustrating to people still
having trouble getting distance! For more
information, contact Ruth Cougnet at (240669-7755) or ([email protected]).
Picnic
We are looking forward to our last picnic of
the year on Sunday, Oct. 9, at East Norbeck

group for a walk all around Leisure World
Boulevard. Sometimes the group goes to
breakfast afterwards. They meet up at the
intersection of Kelmscot Drive and Leisure
World Boulevard. Occasionally, they go out
of Leisure World to another location.
Volkssport Walks:
Some Baby Boomers also participate in
the local American Volkssport Association
(AVA) clubs that hold longer walks, usually
three miles. You can check the Baby
Boomer calendar for un-hosted events,
where some of these AVA walks are listed.

n Comedy and Humor Club
At Comedy Club, It’s the Year of the Parrot
by Al Karr he Comedy and Humor
Club of Leisure World
invites all paid-up
members, or ones who want
to pay at the door, to join us in
celebration of the 99th birthday
of Fannie Falk. This will be on
Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 1:30 p.m.,
our regular meeting time, at
a Club-financed lunch at Villa
Maya Mexican restaurant in the
Safeway-anchored shopping
center at (Rock Creek Village,
5532 Norbeck Rd. and Bauer
Dr.). Buffet or a la carte is
available. Fannie is our intrepid,
indefatigable and veteran
Superwoman member, who is a
challenge to all of us with her bold
and humorous presentation of
T
great jokes--our big enchilada.
Recent Meeting
Sometimes, a mini-theme
develops out of the blue amid
all the jokes and quips that
are tossed at us at our weekly
sessions. Often, a joke will
remind someone of other funny
scenarios, and before you know it,
this rolling stone is on its merry
way.
So, it seems, that’s what
happened at a recent meeting at
our regular venue, usually the
Clubhouse II exercise room or,
more frequently, across the hall
in Meeting Room 2. In either
case, we meet every Tuesday from
1:30-3 p.m.
Suddenly, there we were,
celebrating parrots, also known
as psittacines, birds of the nearly
400 species in 92 genera that
make up the order Psittaciformes,
commonly found in most tropical
and subtropical regions. More on
that in a bit.
At a recent meeting we kicked
off the merriment with our usual
song, this time, “For Me and
My Gal,” made famous by Judy
Garland, Gene Kelly and Burl Ives
(before his Big Daddy days).
Those striding confidently to
the mike included Jack Melnick,
president Sam Hack, Fannie
Falk, treasurer Sumner Levin,
Al Karr, vice president Gloria
Horwitz, Jim Owen, Herb Hodes,
Rudy Volin, Mike Heyman,
Bernard Patlen, Morty Davis
and a guest, Mr. Brown. (And on
the last Tuesday of August, Sam
presented two videos of that
Great Dane pianist and comedian, Victor Borge, as is Sam’s
wont (but he will). Many of the session’s jokes
seemed to have a parrot theme.
A couple were about naughty pet
shop parrots, and others featured
three parrots sliding down
aluminum chutes to get their
morning meal, the foul-mouthed
parrot pushed into a refrigerator
next to a stuffed turkey, the
parrot bought by Laura Bush for
husband George’s birthday, or the
parrot crossed with a centipede (a
walkie-talkie).
Join us for a frolicking good
time, hearing and maybe
dispensing some of the best
standup comedy you can find in
the area. Leisure World Club Trips

This course explains how the

their quality. During the class,
students will edit their own
photos on computers in the
Computer Learning Center or

the computer; organization by
establishing folders or albums

storage accessories to maintain
the original images; basics of
editing on the computer.

photography and using the
modes in the digital camera to

Relationship between the
various modes relative to depth

Edmund Burke and Thomas
Paine and an exploration/
discussion of contemporary
liberalism and conservatism
in the United States 2) A look

vanquished and whether and
how to honor them. 3) The relationship and meeting between
Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg will be explored, possibly
Bruno Tesch, as well. The class
will discuss the obligations of
scientists in time of war and,
more broadly, the question of

the life and times of Malcolm
X and a discussion of his place
in American history, which
will spur a discussion on race
in today’s America. 5) A look
