When I was born in 1925, I think our family was pretty much “Father knows best” until 1929, when the stock-market crash ushered in the Great Depression. After that, the kindest way I can describe it is dysfunctional. While we always had food and shelter, there was little else. Love and kindness were displaced by anger and sarcasm. School became my salvation— working on projects and acquiring as, copyediting the high school newspaper, and being on the varsity debate team. Our daily newspaper had Aunt Clara’s Page that paid a dollar for every poem or essay published—a double thrill, to be published and have a whole dollar, which surprisingly I was allowed to keep. I also had a few ar...
My Legacy A couple of weeks before my mother’s death, she called me aside and said, “I want you to be the executor of my estate. Your older brother Eric is too busy. I want you to do it.” I felt very unworthy and unqualified for the task, but I agreed to do whatever she wanted. My other brother Mike, who had been living with her, received the hardest task: sorting through all kinds of keepsakes and papers. You see, my mother, just as her grandmother before her, could never bear to throw anything away, especially something that might be used in a scrapbook someday. I believe my mother saved every scrap of correspondence and memorabilia of her entire life! Under my mother’s bed , my br...

In this book the much-debated problem of political organization in Mycenaean Greece (ca. 1400-1200 BC) is analyzed and contextualized through the prism of archaeology and contemporary textual (Linear B, Egyptian and Hittite) evidence. From the early 14th century BC onwards, Hittite texts refer to a land Ahhiya(wa). The exact geographic position of this land has been the focus of academic debate for more than a century, but most specialists nowadays agree that it must have been a Hittite designation for a part, or all of, the Mycenaean world. On at least two occasions, the ruler of Ahhiyawa is designated as LUGAL.GAL -'Great King'-; a title that was normally reserved for a select group of kin...
