| | Young Guns (1988) |
| | Which is a good thing, since the real William McCarty was basically a teenager fending for himself in a time and place where knowing how to operate a firearm was the difference between life and death. | | | This is not to say it is without some glaring falsehoods, but given how Young Guns II took one of the most deplorable exaggerations of the Billy The Kid myth and ran with it, it is an improvement. | | | If you load the movie connections page for Young Guns II and take a look at all the films listed under "version of", you will soon see what I mean. |

| | Their world has been shattered, and when Young Life folks get in touch with them, in a small way a connection is made that begins to say: You still have relationships that matter, people who care about you, people who know who you are. This is huge and life-giving. | | | Young Life, which began in 1941, is a non-profit organization committed to making an impact on kids' lives and preparing them for the future. | | | Young Life leaders model trust, respect and responsibility to their young friends, and they do it within a meaningful context, within the context of a teenager's world. |

| | Terence Young |
| | Terence Young was the original director, the man Albert "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman chose to bring Dr. No to life, and he is the man who took Bond from the written page and turned him into a living, breathing cultural icon. | | | Young reasoned that a 1962 audience might not buy a hero who simply did his job and in the meantime slept with any woman he felt like, without seeming as derelict as the villain he was disposing of. | | | Young had done his job and felt that with FRWL Bond had been taken about as far as he could be without moving drastically away from the thriller genre into the general entertainment field. |

| | Eugene V. Debs and Marguerite Young |
| | Young’s book might be better subtitled The Times and Life of… because Debs disappears for pages as Young digresses like a wild-eyed newbie surfing her way across a web of politics, literature, and life itself for the first time. | | | Young had a pantheistic philosophy, a mysticism that nowadays seems hardly appropriate for a chronicler of the American labor movement. | | | Marguerite Young stands forever at the intersection of Possibility and Place, plucking her truthful lyre, perhaps her skirt raised to reveal a bit of red-stockinged leg. |

| | Amazon.ca: Books: Harp Song for a Radical: the Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs |
| | Young doesn't provide a lot of straight factual information about Debs's life, but takes instead a snapshot of his soul as it was formed by reading and experience. | | | Well, it shows, and an editor who truly wanted to honor Young's work would not have let it be published as is; and someone who wanted to honor Debs would not have described or marketed this poetic history of the times as if it were a factual history of his life. | | | Even if we accept that Young wanted to paint a poetic portrait of "the times" rather than provide a traditional biography of Debs, this book is a painful failure. |

| | Dalkey Archive Press: Marguerite Young |
| | Young celebrates "complex life and complex letters" (the title of one of her essays), avoiding the commonplace to seek out the mysterious unities that bind disparate activities. | | | Marguerite Young's method is poetic, imagistic, incantatory; in prose of extraordinary richness she tests the nature of her characters--and the nature of reality. | | | Young is a meticulous scholar, but she illumines every description of every character with her laser light of significance. |

| | Marguerite Young |
| | Marguerite's grandmother became a stroke victim during Young's adolescence, and both she and her sister bore the brunt of caring for an old woman who lived somewhere between life and death. | | | Young's final work consisted of constant revisions to the Debs manuscript (none of which were used in the final published version), and a return to her original medium of writing, poetry. | | | Here is Young at her most mysterious and finest, and I suspect she is practicing an ancient spiritual grammar, perhaps learned from the Indian poet and Vedic philosopher Bhartrihari, author of the fifth century C.E. work On Sentence and Word (Vakyapadiya). |

| | Gale Schools - Women's History Month - Biographies - Anne Frank |
| | Frank's diary is at once a candid self-portrait, a portrayal of domestic life, an account of people threatened with imminent death, a depiction of experiences and problems common to young adults, and an examination of universal moral issues. | | | Life in the annex, a common concern in her diary entries, was strained by quarrels and tensions arising from the anxiety inherent in the situation, the frustrations of a monotonous, restrictive life, and personality clashes. | | | Because Frank's diary was not written as creative literature, and because of the extraordinary circumstances of the author's life, critics most commonly discuss the human and historical importance of the work rather than its aesthetic or structural elements. |

| | Hannibal, whose life was in danger when he remained at the Syrian court, stayed with Artaxias, who followed his advice to built a new capital, Artaxata (modern Yerevan). | | | This may be an invention, but there may be some truth in the story: the Carthaginians had good reasons to hate their enemies. | | | Hannibal expected that Rome's allies would now leave their master and come over to Carthage. |

Ah, sirs, consider, he that set you on To do this deed will hate you for the deed. | | | CLARENCE By heaven, I think there's no man is secure But the queen's kindred and night-walking heralds That trudge betwixt the king and Mistress Shore. |

| | YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES is a fanciful chronicle of the master sleuth's school days with his lifelong comrade, John Watson, set in 1870s London. | | | Directed by Barry Levinson (DINER, RAIN MAN) and produced by Steven Spielberg, this imaginative tale presumes that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson met as young men at a boarding school in the late 1800s. | | | The investigation leads to their discovery of an evil sect based on Egyptian mythology that sacrifices young women and whose leader has his own reasons for seeking revenge against a group of prominent Englishmen. |

| | Amazon.com: Books: CEASEFIRE! : WHY WOMEN AND MEN MUST JOIN FORCES TO ACHIEVE TRUE EQUALITY |
| | I suspect that a little of Young's speculation meets the needs of her ideology too; there is a little of "it seems to me," or "probably..." But her closing recommendations as to "get a life" (my phrase, not hers) are sound. | | | Young is too optimistic, but I like how she lays out the problem. | | | I was relieved to find that, while the book seems aimed at a conservative readership--there is a chapter dedicated to the mistakes of conservatives--by and large the book is a pretty safe analysis of contemporary feminists who are so dedicated to their status as victims that they've endorsed a veritable "paleo-sexism" as Young calls it. |
