 SMART TALK
by Dr. Manda Rynne
A MOMENT IN TIME: This
phrase gets trotted out regularly on TV, usually with gravitas heavier than a
dumpster full of Emmies. It has also
done service as a book title, school essay assignment, you name it. Here at the Institute for the Linguistically
Impaired, we stopped counting and documenting this crime against logic and
language years ago.
In treatment sessions, we always ask our patients, "What
else is a moment in? Do moments exist in space?" Saying a moment does the job
completely, thank you.
At the Edwin Newman Clinic, we often diagnose these
patients as temporal retentives. Those
with full-blown Temporal Retention Syndrome (TRS) also like to say earlier in time and introduced for the first time.
An insidious Englishism that's often a part of TRS renders
patients unable to say or write that an event will occur in two weeks. For them, only in two weeks' time will do.
Please
support the Edwin Newman Clinic. We
have so much work to do.

"How to Walk, Run, Jump, Fall Together" is an energetic and entertaining evening of all-original dance. The concert features the work of two faculty and five student choreographers, including three seniors.
"This is a celebration of our senior students and also an opportunity to create dances that can be playful, serious, and above all, an experience in having fun together," said Concert Director Jumay Chu. "The concert reflects a wide array of the work being done in the department, experimenting with conventions and bringing issues and ideas that are non-traditional to the forefront. It's interesting to see how the dancers' disparate backgrounds inform their individual choreography."

The 2008-09 Cornell Dance Series kicks off with a one-evening-only performance of Trajal Harrell: Quartet for the End of Time. A cutting edge choreographer and dancer, Harrell probes the antagonism between sincerity and irony in this contemporary dance work set to Olivier Messiaen's "Quartet for the End of Time." This famous music was first composed and performed by prisoners in a Nazi war camp. This touring company will perform October 2.
