＞ The Rest of the Story といえば Paul Harvey のラジオ番組。ニューズや時評についてハーヴィーおじさんが率直にかつ紳士的に語るもの。通学通勤時間帯だったのでよくドライヴしながら聞いたものだ。今の激しく粗野なパーソナリティーとは別で、諄々と語った。しかし、番組の終りに “The Rest of the Story, Paul Harvey” と宣言して閉じるのがかっこよかった。
こいつはラジオの英語が聞き取れないのか？
Paul Harvey の番組のエンディングは “Now you know…..the rest of the story…….Good Day!” に決まっている。

I watched a Russian rock-opera Juno and Avos, written by Andrej Vozněsenskij and composed by Alexej Rybnikov. Let me cite its story from Amazon.com, DVD
. . .
This plot is fiction based on a true story. Rezanov and Conchita's love,Rezanov's death and Conchita's taking a vow seem to be true.
But important is that from this story, the fact Rezanov was dispatched to Japan in order to call for Russo-Japanese commerce while Japan permitted it only to China and Netherland.
Rezanov, after refused the demand, got angry with Japan, ordered two subordinate captains attack Japan, and they attacked Sakhalin and Etorof island, killed some people: Juno and Avos were the name of the ships used for the attack.
This fact is completely concealed in this opera. Apart from its value as an art, we Japanese would not like this incomplete history of Rezanov circulate all over the world.

In the latter, Stone used the same quantitative methods to study family life. Stone's conclusion there was little love in English marriages before the 18th century left him open to devastating counter-attack from medievalists who pointed that Stone ignored the medieval period and there is ample evidence that there were many loving marriages before 1700. By the 1980s, Stone had abandoned his thesis.
Title: Ancestors: The Loving Family in Old Europe.(Review).

Ancestors: The Loving Family in Old Europe --- by Steven Ozment --- Harvard University Press, 162 pages, $29.95/$14.50
In the 1960s and 1970s a group of enormously influential historians- most notably Philippe Ari?s and Lawrence Stone-argued that pre- industrial families were essentially different from the modern "sentimental" family. According to this view, the pre-modern family was rigidly "patriarchal," and children were viewed mainly as assets; hence the deep bonds of love and care between parent and child which we now associate with the "nuclear family" were essentially nonexistent. In this elegant, persuasive book, based largely on historians' meticulous scholarship of the past two decades (including the author's minute investigations of medieval and early-modern German families), Steven Ozment presents a very different picture. He argues that the relationship between spouses was far more cooperative and loving, and the affection of parents for their children was far fiercer, than Ari?s and his disciples would have it. In an example of scholarship confirming common sense (and refuting the highly theoretical work of once trendy historians), Ozment concludes that "such high qualities prove to be specific to family life itself and not to time and place." Ari?s's more immoderate followers anachronistically caricatured the pre-modern family as hierarchical, emotionally crippled, and conformist; in fact, criticizing "superordinate and subordinate relations" and celebrating the liberated modern ethos often seemed to be the point of much
of their scholarship. Ancestors amounts to an eloquent-and academically unfashionable-condemnation of those historians who approach an earlier age "with an eye only to determining where that age stands on some burning present-day issue." -Benjamin Schwarz
