It is Germany near the end of World War II, the Allies have landed and members of the Vichy France government have been sequestered in a labyrinthine castle, replete with secret passages and subterranean hideaways. The group of 1,400 terrified officials, their wives, mistresses, flunkies, and Nazi protectors—including Céline, his wife, their cat, and an actor friend—attempt to postpone the postwar reckoning under the constant threat of air raids and starvation. With an undercurrent of sensual excitement, Céline paints an almost unbearably vivid picture of human society and the human

It has distanced itself from a turbulent history as pawn in Eastern Europe’s international politics to become

The ultimate misdirection play, responsibility for the Cubs’ near- century-long championship drought is placed on curses, hexes, billy goats, black cats, and other perceived supernatural forces. Yet, the team’s crazy, quirky history is far from unexplainable. Management decisions and on-field strategies have resulted in Wrigley Field’s incessant October silence since 1945--the season of the team’s last National League pennant. The Cubs’ status is unlike any other team in baseball, and the team itself operates like no other team in the game--especially a big-market
