in 1966 twelve - year - old fan shen , a newly minted red guard , plunged happily into china ' s cultural revolution . disillusion soon followed , then turned to disgust and fear when shen discovered that his compatriots had tortured and murdered a doctor whose house he ' d helped raid and whose beautiful daughter he secretly adored . a story of coming of age in the midst of monumental historical upheaval , shen ' s gang of one is more than a memoir of one young man ' s harrowing experience during a time of terror . it is also , in spite of circumstances of remarkable grimness and injustice , an unlikely picaresque tale of adventure full of courage , cunning , wit , tenacity , resourcefulness , and sheer luck - the story of how shen managed to scheme his way through a hugely oppressive system and emerge triumphant .
this book was recommended by jay nordlinger of national review fame . because he is one of my favorite columnists with vast knowledge of human rights i took him at his word that this was an incredible story of survival in communist china under the red guard . fan shen tells his own story of survival and triumph of his desire for freedom . this book is , without a doubt , one of the best books i ' ve ever read .

apparently , even robert redford was bullied as a child . in his neighborhood , there was a hispanic gang , the pachucks , and he was often beaten up by one of its members , “probably because i went to a good school , i was good at track and popular with girls . ” once , the bullies prompted him to jump off a roof to prove his manhood . he jumped and almost died from the fall . “facing down fears hit home early…you have two choices , it seemed to me . you can be led by your fears , or you can overcome them . ”

i ' ve read a number of books about the cultural revolution in china but nothing from this perspective and none as eloquent . this is the story of man overcoming all odds but always mindful of how his actions affect those he cares about . the main character is brave , daring , intelligent , tenacious but most of all possesses a caring heart which , under the circumstances , is rather remarkable . gang of one provides an in depth look at life during the cultural revolution and the blending of traditional chinese life with the sweeping changes created by the introduction of communism . this may be the story of one man but it gives insights into the millions of people affected by political upheaval .
in october 2012 , lamar & apos ; s highly anticipated major - label debut album , good kid , m . a . a . d city , was released to wide acclaim . ( lady gaga recorded a song with lamar for the album , but it ultimately was not included due to
creative differences .
) hit singles like
swimming pools ( drank )
and
poetic justice ,
and the rapper & apos ; s emergence as a talent to watch , cleared the way for him to make major american television appearances while promoting the album , including saturday night live , late night with david letterman and late night with jimmy fallon . this solidified his fan base , not only among hard - core hip - hop heads , but also among college students and fans of alternative rock .
a crazy fan , nadine davies , began to stalk redford in 1967 , after seeing him in barefoot in the park . the following year , while redford was filming at universal studios , actor tom skerritt told him that “some weird woman” who did not “seem to be sane , ” was going through his dressing room . a few weeks later , while he was at a hotel watching coverage of the rfk assassination , he was told to stay in his room because a stalker was hiding in the bushes . davies was arrested just outside redford’s hotel room . finally , while filming a scene from the sting with paul newman , newman suddenly became terrified and redford turned around to see the same woman running directly at him . newman yelled “get her ! get that f * * king woman out ! now ! ” security eventually tackled her , but she was only feet away from reaching redford when they did .
in the early 1960s , after redford married and had children , the stresses of his career and family life were getting to him , so he left on a road trip by himself . he drove 200 miles to big sur , and after trekking 90 miles over a few days , despite the cold , he ended up at deetjen’s big sur inn . redford got on well with the owner of the inn , and the two spent days listening to music , and indulging in drunken conversation . in fact , the owner of the inn was a convicted murderer who had spent time in alcatraz , and he lived in a shack , which he had built while working on a chain gang . redford still admired him , saying he was “isolated from the world , free of self - contempt , managing an inn at the edge of nowhere . ”

- although at the time of writing there isn ' t much there . there is also a us - based equivalent
at age 8 , kendrick lamar watched dr . dre film a music video .
“at first , i was scared to show fear because you can never be sure how people will perceive you . but i dared myself to do that , to stand out . ”
kendrick lamar is an award - winning rapper and songwriter best known for his innovative take on life in southern california as well as for his affiliation with rap star and super - producer dr . dre .
kendrick lamar duckworth , who performs as kendrick lamar , was born in compton , california , on june 17 , 1987 . after writing stories as a child , he put to music some lyrics about the rough compton streets he grew up on . he rapped under the name k - dot , releasing a series of increasingly popular mix tapes , which brought him to the attention of hip - hop super - producer dr . dre . lamar & apos ; s debut major - label recording , good kid , m . a . a . d city , was released to great acclaim and impressive sales for an up - and - coming recording artist . he continued to receive accolades for his 2015 album , to pimp a butterfly , and his 2017 follow - up , damn . ; both won grammys for best rap album , while damn . also made history as the first of its genre to earn a pulitzer prize .
lamar & apos ; s family was directly touched by the violence of the streets , yet he remained thoughtful and soft - spoken , ever the keen observer , even as a child . he adopted the moniker k - dot and began performing his lyrics as a rapper . at age 16 , in 2003 , he circulated a mix tape called youngest head nigga in charge , which drew a lot of interest in his native southern california and beyond .
the project was enough to get lamar a record deal with top dawg entertainment , a respected california independent label and feeder to major labels . he went on to release two other acclaimed mix tapes , training day ( 2005 ) and c4 ( 2009 ) , steadily working with other up - and - coming west coast rappers like jay rock , ab - soul and schoolboy q . lamar and these other performers eventually formed their own rap collective , black hippy .
in 2010 lamar dropped the k - dot tag and began using his own name . he also put out a fourth mix tape , overly dedicated . that same year , lamar released his first full - length independent album under top dawg entertainment . titled section . 80 , it was released exclusively on itunes .
lamar continued writing music and lyrics , and continued to tour and collaborate with more popular recording artists such as young jeezy , the game , talib kweli , busta rhymes and lil wayne . dr . dre , one of hip - hop & apos ; s most respected and influential producers , took the young artist under his wing , becoming his mentor in both music and business .
as the buzz on lamar continued to build , dr . dre signed him to his independent record label , aftermath entertainment , alongside more established rap stars eminem and 50 cent ( in a joint venture with top dawg ) . aftermath was distributed by major label interscope ( universal music ) , which would have the marketing , sales and distribution muscle to take lamar & apos ; s career to the next level . now the quiet , observant kid who made good grades in school was poised to become rap & apos ; s newest superstar .
& apos ; good kid , m . a . a . d city & apos ;
lamar & apos ; s appeal to the masses didn & apos ; t stop there . the thought - provoking lyrics on his debut album caught the attention of hip - hop critics as well , with mtv naming him the
hottest mc
of 2012—putting him in the company of other rappers who have earned the title , including lil wayne , jay - z and kanye west .
additionally , critics took note of lamar & apos ; s verse on the song
control ,
by rapper big sean . although the track was penned by another artist , lamar & apos ; s verse drew attention because of his challenge to several other popular names in the hip - hop world , including drake , j . cole and big sean himself . the bold claims in the controversial verse rapped by lamar brought about a vibe that was reminiscent of the classic hip - hop era , drawing appreciation from critics , rappers and fans alike .
lamar remains popular for his sharp observations of street culture , often examining the psychology of the victims of crimes .
that & apos ; s the most interesting story to me ,
he told the british newspaper the guardian .
at first , i was scared to show fear because you can never be sure how people will perceive you . but i dared myself to do that , to stand out .
& apos ; to pimp a butterfly & apos ; and & apos ; damn . & apos ;
in 2015 , lamar released his next album , to pimp a butterfly , featuring artists like bilal , snoop dogg and pharrell williams , among others . butterfly was another highly acclaimed outing known for its funk - laden mix of bravura , community politics and vulnerability . lamar was nominated for a whopping 11 grammys later that year and won the first award of the 2016 show , specifically for best rap album . ( he & apos ; d already received four other grammys pre - telecast , making him the biggest winner of the night . ) he later brought the house down with a politicized performance of
the blacker the berry
and
alright
that fused spoken word , live jazz , traditional african dance and a reference to the death of teen trayvon martin .
in march 2016 , lamar released untitled unmastered , a compilation of tracks that were unfinished demos for to pimp a butterfly . the release went to the top of the u . s . billboard 200 .

arthur burns chalk ' s career in seaplane flying began in the unlikely setting of paducah , kentucky . in 1911 , chalk , 23 , was working there as a mechanic when a barnstormer and seaplane flier named tony janus came to town . janus’ aircraft had developed engine trouble . he and chalk struck an agreement : chalk would fix the engine ; in return , janus would teach the young man how to fly .
now departing paradise . . . all day long , chalk’s amphibious grumman mallards shuttle tourists in and out of paradise island and other bahamian destinations .
august 2002 . at the airport in fort lauderdale , chalk’s passengers start their trips downstairs , at a tiny , dimly lit ticket counter . long lines are a rarity . all baggage is checked through to the hold ; almost no carry - on is permitted . on a recent trip , the only visible exceptions were cameras , purses , a tape recorder , and a lined writing tablet , and the last two probably apply only if you are doing a story on the airline .
then it’s on to a cinderblock waiting room . it’s not uncommon for the room to hold two flights’ worth of passengers at once , but even at capacity , the crowd wouldn’t fill the last nine rows of a 737 .
the mix of passengers depends on the destinations : groups of fishermen and some couples headed to walker’s cay and bimini ; more couples , families , and a number of business people headed to atlantis , the resort complex on paradise island . everywhere are printed t’s and bleached jeans and cutoffs .
bimini , a ragged sevenmile strip of sand , was , in the early part of the century , principally a destination for sports fishermen . that changed abruptly in 1919 , with the enactment of prohibition . because it was the nearest of the still - wet bahamas , the island became a hub for smuggling alcohol into the states . chalk’s began catering to bootleggers traveling to bimini to contact suppliers , pay them , and check on their inventory ; with equal courtesy and reliability , it transported numerous federal agents shadowing the smugglers . many of the most prominent gangsters of the era used chalk’s , including a stocky , moonfaced sicilian named al capone .
with ascending fortunes , chalk built himself a small kiosk - style terminal at watson island , situated in biscayne bay between miami and miami beach . he also upgraded his inventory . one early acquisition was a benoist biplane . unlike the float - modified stinson , the benoist was a flying boat—a hull lander , with no floats . the engine , built by roberts motors , was a two - stroke , water - cooled model that had the frequent bad habits of backfiring and belching flames , challenging chalk’s skills equally as a mechanic and as a pilot .
when prohibition ended in 1933 , bimini and the airline that served it began to attract another tier of travelers : errol flynn was a chalk’s aficionado , and later so were ava gardner , lana turner , judy garland , and the eventual all - time king of flying boats , howard “spruce goose” hughes . ernest hemingway loved bimini for its access to deep - water fishing , and was a regular chalk’s passenger during the 1940s .

its destinations two times a week are newark , new jersey , and portland , maine .
in short , southwest airlines isn’t sweating competition that comes from such a niche carrier as elite .
but for elite’s founder and president — and commercial jet pilot — john pearsall , it’s not about going wing to wing with the major air carriers . rather , it’s about providing a unique service through smaller airports , such as melbourne international airport and vero beach regional airport , and hopefully establishing its own legacy , albeit much narrower than the big boys .
“in fact , we had so many bookings that we laid on extra flights for the holidays for both the melbourne to portland market and the vero beach to newark , ” he said .
