Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker vs. Occupy Wall Street
Thomas Mangan, Rochester Independent Examiner
November 28, 2011
*** begin quote ***
The Rochester City Ballet performed Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker this weekend, and their performance on Saturday night was truly superb.
You couldn’t ask for anything more. Short of living in New York City and watching the New York City Ballet’s performance of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker, or living in Moscow and watching the Bolshoi Ballet, this is as good as it gets.
The music was incredible, as it always is. The sets and the costumes were magnificent. Timothy Draper’s choreography was fantastic, and the dancing was out of this world.
I had an ear-to-ear smile on my face for the entire ballet.
Back in 1966, I was introduced to ballet during my freshman in college. As a poor city kid who grew up in a five-story, walk-up tenement in upper Manhattan, I didn’t know anything about ballet and wasn’t really interested in learning about it.
But as a freshman at Manhattan College, I had to take a music appreciation course, and one of my homework assignments was to go to Lincoln Center and watch The Nutcracker.
But rather than moan about another lousy homework assignment, I decided to turn the assignment into a date. I used twofers to buy two tickets (for the price of one); then I asked a girl to go out to dinner and a ballet (instead of dinner and a movie or dinner and a Broadway play).
She said yes, and I knew I had it made. No matter how bad the ballet was, at least I’d get a kiss goodnight when I walked her home. What else can a teenage boy ask for?
No matter how hard I try, I can’t remember who the girl was, but I met the love of my life that night, when I saw my first ballet.
{Extraneous Deleted}
As I was reading the program before the ballet started, I realized that The Nutcracker debuted on December 17, 1892; just twenty five years before the Russian Revolution.
It dawned on me, that if they had lived, Clara, and her brother Fritz, would have been victims of the Russian Revolution, in much the same way that Doctor Zhivago was; they ether would have been shot; or shipped off to a concentration camp in Siberia.
{Extraneous Deleted}
At one time the sun never set on the great British Empire. Now the British Empire no longer exists. It is as extinct and irrelevant as the dinosaurs.
Our great American culture will go the same way, and if we don’t clean up our act, it will disappear sooner rather than later.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is a sign of discontent at the very foundations of our American society, and we’d better pay attention before our society implodes.
There is an entire generation of Americans in their twenties who have done exactly what we asked them to do, and they have nothing to show for it.
They studied hard. They got good grades. They took those college loans because we told them they would graduate and find good jobs. But when they graduated from college; there were no good jobs; no jobs that would pay them enough to live, and pay off their college loans.
We sold the next generation a bill of goods.
That’s why we have an Occupy Wall Street movement. That’s why our children may be in the same situation that Clara and her brother, Fritz, and Doctor Zhivago were in.
For them, and for Tchaikovsky, the Russian Revolution was right over the horizon, but there was no way they could see it coming.
For us, our society is coming apart at the seams, and if we don’t pay attention to the Occupy Wall Street movement, American society as we know it may cease to exist as fast as Tchaikovsky’s society disappeared in 1917.
Think about it.
It could happen tomorrow if we don’t do something to right the ship now.

Thomas Cahill
CAHILL Thomas P., 66, of Brooklyn Heights, NY died on July 17, 2011 at Mary Manning Walsh Home from complications of stroke, atrial fibrillation and vascular dementia.
Tom is survived by his beloved son, Thomas, a freshman at St. John’s University, his wife, Terri, of JP Morgan Chase New York, his sister, Mrs. Karen Bartholomew, of Washington, DC, his niece, Jennifer Bayly of Los Angeles, and nephew, Colin Bayly of Washington, DC. His loving parents, Thomas and Margaret Cahill of Newton, New Jersey and Manhattan preceded him in death. Tom was a member of the Church of the Good Shepherd (Inwood) and the Brooklyn Oratory Church (Brooklyn).
Tom is a retired Vice President of JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA and an adjunct professor of New York University/ Polytech where he taught graduate courses until his illness. At JPMorgan Chase Tom was a leader in emerging technology for over 30 years. He is the lead inventor on 8 technology patents. In the late 90s, he was the only banker named to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s e-Commerce Committee. In the early 80’s he worked with the National Security Agency and ANSI on the development of the FIMAS Authentication Standard. During his career with Chase Manhattan Bank, he was a representative to ANSI and ISO committees and among the many projects he worked on was the JPEG standard for image compression, and standards for CHIP cards. Tom was a recognized industry leader in data security, image technology, push banking, and intellectual property. During his tenure at Chase, he was a pioneer in the first breakthroughs in image processing with on demand retrieval of check and document images which led to the rapid development of new products. Tom was frequently asked to provide expert testimony on behalf of the Federal Government. He also reviewed and edited college text books.
During his prime, Tom was an avid runner and ran the New York Marathon, a licensed pilot of planes and gliders, a bungee jumper, and an artist. Tom’s greatest devotion and joy was his son, Thomas, whose education and religious guidance were his most important priorities. Tom received a Bachelor of Arts from Manhattan College in 1966. He also held two Masters degrees in Mathematics and Electrical Engineering from Polytech University.
The family will receive friends at the Redden’s Funeral Home 325 West 14th Street New York City on Thursday 2-5 and 7-9 PM. The Funeral Mass will be 10 AM on Friday at the Oratory Church of St Boniface at 3 Metrotech, Brooklyn. Interment at St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Newton, New Jersey. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Mary Manning Walsh Center in Manhattan for their care of Tom or the National Stroke Association in Washington, D.C. Stroke is the leading cause of disability and third leading cause of death in the United States. Science associated with dementia, stroke and other brain disorders need continued research for improved treatments and prevention.

Locals giving Manhattan pitching staff a boost
May 20, 2011
Written by BRIAN HEYMAN
*** begin quote ***
NEW YORK — Michael Giordano followed his father and sister in the family pipeline to Manhattan College, but the baseball team hadn’t recruited him. In fact, there were no engraved offers from any colleges for him out of Fox Lane despite being its ERA leader two years running.
*** end quote ***
[JR: Giordano’s father and sister mentioned.]
[JR: I’m really testing the Jasper jotting crack research staff (i.e., McEneney, Mike (MC1953)] to see how really good he is in his knowledge of all people Jasper. :-) He’s a walking rolodex and genealogy of Jaspers. So let’s take him out for a spin. ROFL. It’ll mean he doesn’t have time for other ideas. Idle mind, you know.]

I believe that Michael’s father is Ralph of the Class of 1966, and his sister Stephanie (Mannarino) is a member of the Class of1993.
