My brother has a doghouse in his front yard with MAGGIE on the front in big block letters, even though he's never owned a dog named Maggie.

Right up until she died at age ninety-two, my grandmother had a big basket of books in the front hallway. Anyone who came to visit was invited to look and see if there was anything they wanted. All kinds of books were in there--mysteries, best sellers, science fiction, romance, thrillers.

I was just watched the movie, 'Villa Rides' with Yul Brynner and Robert Mitchum. Villa waits to save a village until a certain number of people have died. Meanwhile, while he's waiting, a girl is raped. Robert Mitchum says it's partly Villa's fault. That she doesn't want a man. That she thinks no man will want her. Villa calls for a priest and marries the girl himself.
I can't figure this out. Is it supposed to be a noble gesture, supposed to reveal his human side? Now this poor girl has not only been raped, she's stuck married to a man she's never met and who, basically, kills people for a living. This should make her feel better? Do guys really believe this stuff?
