Lays of Ancient Rome
REH to H.P. Lovecraft, ca. February 1931: "My antipathy for Rome is one of those things I can't explain myself. Certainly it isn't based on any early reading, because some of that consisted of MacCauley's 'Lays of Ancient Rome' from which flag-waving lines I should have drawn some Roman patriotism, it seems. At an early age I memorized most of those verses, but in reciting, changed them to suit myself and substituted Celtic names for the Roman ones, and changed the settings from Italy to the British Isles!"

http://www.reformation.org/obituary-of-joseph-mccabe.html
Obituary of Joseph McCabe from The Times. Joseph McCabe, who was of Irish ancestry, was born on November 11, 1867, In 1883, at the unusually early age of 16, he entered the Franciscan order and was trained at St. Francis College, Manchester, at St. Antony's, Forest Gate, and at Louvain University. Ordained a priest in 1890, he was forthwith appointed a professor of scholastic philosophy, and in 1895 became Rector of Buckingham College. In the following year McCabe left the Roman Catholic Church. The reasons which persuaded him to this course are set forth in his Twelve Years in a Monastery , a book which he published with the help of Leslie Stephen in 1897. While still a Roman Catholic he had set himself to study various aspects of contemporary science, and after he left the Church he became a successful lecturer on evolution and kindred subjects. His Evolution of Mind , which appeared in 1910, contained what was probably his best work in this sphere. A student of German, he translated, among other works of its kind, Haeckel's Riddle of the Universe , which in its cheap English edition had a very wide circulation. Other books of his, such as

Kurt Vonnegut Jr (1922)
It was on this date, November 11, 1922, that science fiction and satire writer Kurt Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. Vonnegut enrolled at Cornell University as a biochemistry major, but left for the Air Force during World War Two. He was captured in May 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. Released in May 1945, he was awarded the Purple Heart. After the War, he worked several writing jobs until he published his first novel, Player Piano , in 1952. He followed that with Mother Night (1962), filmed in 1996 (he made a cameo appearance), and Cat's Cradle (1963). Vonnegut carried some of his war experiences into his writing, notably the firebombing of Dresden in his 1969 novel Slaughterhouse Five Slaughterhouse Five elevated Vonnegut to #1 on the New York Times best-seller list and was later filmed (1972). In addition to essays, short stories, and screenplays, Vonnegut's other novels include Breakfast of Champions Deadeye Dick Hocus Pocus (1990), and

RonaldBruceMeyer.com The War on Galileo
(continued)
by Ronald Bruce Meyer Galileo imprisoned
S o this vindictive prince embroiled the Roman Church in the greatest blunder in its history. Initially there was an attempt to ban sale of the book, but it had already been circulated across Europe. Urban then fed Galileo to the dogs of the Inquisition, along with some of his defenders. When Father Castelli pleaded on Galileo's behalf that "nothing that can be done can now hinder the earth from revolving," the Benedictine was banished in disgrace. Ricciardi, who wrote the preface to the banned book, was fired from the papal staff. The Florentine Inquisitor who approved the printing of the Dialogo was reprimanded.
With his advocates and friends silenced, Galileo had to face the authorities alone. The trial documents, long suppressed by Rome, reveal that Galileo was ordered, in harsh language, to come to trial at Rome; that if he did not comply, said the Pope, he was to be "brought in chains"; that the protests of his friends and the Florentine ambassador were ignored; that once in Rome, being nearly seventy years of age, suffering from hernia, insomnia, and near-blindness from gazing at the sun through his telescope, Galileo was kept waiting for several months; and that he was several times threatened with torture. His whereabouts for 21-24 June are omitted from the documents of the episode. Scholars who have studied the documents (Favaro, Fahie) suggest that Galileo was actually in prison during that time, though the
