Returning to "The Independence of the Mind" For An Afternoon

Continuing the job search this afternoon.

Also: revisiting the history of the Declaration of the Independence of the Mind via Ideas. If you're interested in the text of that original declaration from 1919, here's a link.

(I wonder if Leslie Charteris might have read that Declaration. Some of the stuff in those Saint stories of his gets me thinking now about the possibility. Certainly, if he had, he'd have put it aside for the needs of World War 2 and the battle against fascism as it presented itself to our world back then.)

On a related note: Ideas, the CBC Radio series, is devoting some time over this past broadcast season of 2020-'21 to the theme of The Common Good. Other instalments of that series of broadcasts may be accessed here.

More on other topics as today goes by...

I've enjoyed some of those classic Saint movies but I didn't know about Charteris or his other work. We just watched Lady on a Train a few weeks ago.
