The Profs Are Back - Ehrlich and Sack!
Photos by Vicki Mazel
St. John's professors Howard
Ehrlich and Harvey Sackowitz have
given many historical lectures at
North Shore Towers, "The Trial
of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg"
being the most recent. The North
Shore Towers Women's Club held
their November meeting in the
Lower Card Room on Wednesday,
November 13, with the professors
addressing the subject of the
Rosenbergs, accused and convicted
of spying on behalf of the Soviet
Union. The couple allegedly provided
top secret information, were
convicted in 1951, and executed by
the federal government in 1953. It
is noted that their sons and many
others have maintained that they
were innocent.
The professors will be returning
to the Towers in April to speak at a
Women's Club meeting on "Behind
Closed Doors - The Private Lives
of our Presidents and First Ladies."
It’s tentatively slated for April 22,
2020; the date will be confirmed in
this newspaper.
STAY LUCE
The October Cinema Club presentation
for review was “Luce,”
presented on Monday, October
28, in the Towers movie theater.
The film, much admired by the
audience, deftly captured complicated
family dynamics with cultural
themes and psychological elements,
Open ended questions about the
film remained intact at the deliberate
behest of the writers; however,
the story proves to be a super power
critique on many social issues.
Reviewer Vicki Mazel provided
background on the genesis of the
film. The objectives of the writer/
director Julius Onah, a Nigerian
filmmaker who's interpretation of
the story of the adopted Congolese
young boy by an upper middle class
family, spotlighted the center of
the plot. Naomi Watts, Tim Roth,
Octavia Spencer, and newcomer
Kelvin Harrison, Jr. round out
the cast of this provocative and
outstanding movie. Psychologist
Dr. Nurit Israeli provided intuitive
and scholarly analysis of the characters
with her usual expertise and
sensitivity.
