I worry about America. We have entered or passed our golden age. The Italians have Verdi, Germany, Mozart; England, Handel. Who do we have, Elvis ? All these countries at their height placed enormous sums into the arts and we are cutting back when it is our moment to contribute something eternal to the eternal condition. Noone remembers that an Italian invented the radio or a German, print. Those tools are obsolete and so soon will be our machines of trickery and cleverness. It must be something more, even more than a people's freedom that we must give.
Thursday, 1997
Andrew Cunanan shot himself in a houseboat along Collins yesterday. Went to the Chemist Shop's new location today after a luncheon at the Tower Club. Went to ( )'s memorial funeral today. Her mom and dad came and said hi and I met her boyfriend. She looked good and was cheerful. Looking back I was so full of anxiety and never could stop, slow down or rest.
So many things going on and no slowing down even for the death.
