Who might we become if the privileges we take for granted were suddenly ripped away? But in this latest work, privilege is French’s subject more specifically, the relationship between privilege and what we perceive as luck. In theme and atmosphere, it evokes her earliest two books, Into the Woods and The Likeness, using the driving mystery-of course, there’s a murder-as a vehicle for asking complex questions about identity and human nature. It’s as good as the best of those novels, if not better. Reviewed by Julie Buntin The Witch Elm is Tana French’s first standalone, following six Dublin Murder Squad mysteries. There was Dorothy Vaughan, who blazed more than a few paths as one of the first black women to work as a “human computer” at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory. More precisely, it is a historical homage to the fearlessness of mathematical minds too brilliant to be hindered by racism and sexism - to women who walked away from traditional, low-paying teaching jobs and marched into a predominantly white, segregated work force that considered them, in Shetterly’s words, “invisible and invaluable at the same time.” MARGOT LEE SHETTERLY’S Hidden Figures is the story and celebration of the four dozen unsung black women who worked as computers, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers from 1943 to 1980 for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and its successor, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). As with CF 3, no transfer of fluorine from carbon to silicon is observed, even after argon-ion sputtering or ultraviolet irradiation of the surface. CF 2, produced by excimer-laser photolysis of C 2F 4, is adsorbed on SiO 2 surfaces. While CF 3 undergoes dissociative chemisorption on Si, it adsorbs very little on annealed SiO 2 surfaces, and even on ion-damaged oxide surfaces, CF 3 adsorbs but does not undergo transfer of fluorine from the fluorocarbon to surface silicon atoms. CF 3 free radicals are generated by infrared multiple-photon dissociation of C 2F 6. We have investigated the reactions of neutral fluorocarbon fragments, generated by laser photolysis of suitable precursors, with single-crystal silicon and thermally deposited silicon oxide surfaces.

To fully understand Rent and its impact, take a step back to ponder the state of Broadway at the time. According to Jonathan’s sister, Julie, his goal was to revolutionize Broadway “to create the Hair of the 90’s.” He did that and more. When the show hit Broadway in 1996, after 7 years of workshops and editing, it created a ripple effect towards Musical Theatre that is still felt today. Rent was like nothing else on Broadway at the time, bringing a new generation to the theatre the generation “living in America at the end of the millennium.” ( What You Own, Rent). The show became a raging success, but Larson never lived to see it. The story behind Rent begins with the tragic story of Jonathan Larson, the composer and playwright, dying the night before his magnum opus began previews.
