Here are hundreds of wise and witty guidelines for Drummers: “If you’re one of those drummers who sets up at the front of the stage, back the hell up. You are the goalies of rock; play your position.” Singers: “When you feel like stage-diving, first make sure the people in the front like your music enough to catch you.” Guitarists: “No one’s looking at your guitar strap. Don’t ever spend more than the cost of an average meal on something that can be replaced by a particularly hearty piece of string.”

Возвращенная к жизни настоящим электронным переизданием книга В.Ю. Макарова – прекрасный образец самоуничтожающегося дискурса.
Доказывая (местами очень убедительно) существование «реликтового гоминоида» практически во всех уголках земного шара, автор совершенно не замечает, что именно это-то, по-настоящему убийственное изобилие предельно детализированных, часто шокирующих и пугающих, свидетельств, тщательно разведенных Макаровым с пресловутым фольклором (который разобран в первой главе и к которому автор далее уже не возвращается), уничтожает сам зоологический базис его теории.

The immigration station at New York's Ellis Island opened in 1892 and remained the largest U.S. port for immigrant entry until World War I. In popular memory, Ellis Island is typically seen as a gateway for Europeans seeking to join the "great American melting pot." But as this fresh examination of Ellis Island's history reveals, it was also a major site of immigrant detention and exclusion, especially for Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian travelers and maritime laborers who reached New York City from Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean, and even within the United States. And from 1924 to 1954, the station functioned as a detention camp and deportation center for a range of people deemed undesirable.
