OLIVIA de HAVILLAND

Olivia de Havilland is 102 plus.....and she is involved in a Supreme Court case in which she is the plaintiff trying to protect her rights from a movie production company. The movie production company has portrayed her and other "Hollywood Golden era" actresses in unfavorable light and with fictional salacious stories about them. The whole story is remarkable from the perspective of de Havilland who was born during WWI.....and is still alive and competent and able to go to court...

KARMA

If things did not happen exactly the way they have happened then it is likely that my life would have taken a very different direction and I might not ever have done the things I have now done. My history would have been different and I would never have worked as a theoretical chemist. Life is delicately balanced in some ways so that to have a given history you need to have nearly all the associated details of your life lived out exactly as they have unfolded. Without Kathy Shen and E.A. Castro and Milica Radovich and the current daily living standard of Oceanside....maybe I would never have done the theories I have done. It is called "fate" by some or "karma" by others. And the poverty I live in played its role in shaping what I published and continues to shape my faith that (1) you go on in some other way  at death and (2) that you come back as somebody else....
