FIELD OF DREAMS

Some time in the 1990s, a few years before retiring, when I had become literally exhausted from the combination of talking and listening involved in my chosen profession of teaching and my chosen religion, the Baha'i Faith, particularly in its community dimension, I saw a film called Field of Dreams. In 1999 I retired and in 2001 my son, Daniel, who had moved back home, bought a DVD video copy of this film. My son loved the film and I watched it with him at least twice or three times between 2001 and 2004.

October 1959 was a personally eventful month. I loved baseball and watched the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago White Sox in the World Series. I also came to love The Twilight Zone which debuted on CBS TV. I joined the Baha’i Faith, my lifelong belief system. The literary critic and soon to be the most powerful reviewer in the USA, Alfred Kazin, published his The Alone Generation.1 This was an incisive and brilliant essay about the failures of modern literature.

He is generally regarded as the best player in the history of the NHL
and has been called "the greatest hockey player ever" by many
sportswriters, players and coaches. Upon his retirement on April 18,
1999, he held forty regular-season records, fifteen playoff records and
six All-Star records. He is the only NHL player to total over 200
points in one season—a feat he accomplished four times. In addition, he
tallied over 100 points in 15 NHL seasons, 13 of them consecutive.

Iran's Crisis of Civilization

The spirit of resourcefulness and practicality the Bahais of Iran are displaying brings great comfort to the anguished hearts of their fellow believers in over 200 countries and independent territories of the planet. When the children of Baha'isare expelled from schools because of their Faith, the Baha'is created classrooms in their homes.
