I will then discuss why it is I believe that Fodor’s response in “Special Sciences” reveals Kim’s jade analogy to be a mistake, and of false references.

been living there for more than 4000 years. According to the folklore, Chang'e and her husband Houyi were both immortals living in Heaven.

Picturing the gritty world famous Roxy on Sunset complete with Hollywood decadence and history had been an ongoing fascination for me ever since New York rock and roll celebrity Bebe Buell had invited me out to the west coast to cover her debut at the room. A sort of East Coast Rocker goes west if you will. The “UN- Shoreworld.” Funny that this would be her first show at The Roxy as she pretty much ruled the Sunset strip

We are first introduced to him in Chapter 11, where Pip encounters the rather condescending lawyer on the stairs of Satis House. Pip describes Mr. Jaggers as "a burly man of an exceedingly dark complexion."
