Listen this afternoon at 2. This is Weekend Edition from n.p.r. News and the Garcia Navarro good morning there's been more violence this weekend in the. Weeks of protests forced its president Elmore Alice to step down a week ago he's in exile in Mexico now there are mass protests calling for him to return Police in central Bolivia opened fire on a crowd of protesting coca farmers who are a key part of Morales his political base at least 8 people were killed dozens more injured and N.P.R.'s Philip Reeves is in the capital of bass and he joins me now welcome I So let's hear about the scene there and that deadly protest in particular what happened well the scene is tense and it's angry and it's fearful mandalas still has a sizable number of fiercely loyal supporters especially amongst the indigenous population and that shooting of the farmers in Cochabamba which is in central Bolivia caused real outrage it's causing real outrage but I was south has called it a massacre it's igniting more protests in support of his return military have used jets to buzz crowds of protesters and they've also started firing tear gas into peaceful crowds in the bits of all of this you've got concerns now here in lap as about shortages of fuel food and medicine and partly because there's so many barricades around the city that supplies can't be live delivered and shops of course most of the most shouted. Is forced out after evidence of fraud surfaced in last month's election there's currently an interim government is that government capable of handling this are they in control as the military control is going on well it's really struggling to establish its the Judum say the interim president is Yemeni and yes she's a conservative she was a senator she has. Has got a dialogue going with some in the Socialist Party of Evo Morales but she has a big credibility problem I mean she faces allegations that she bent the rules in the manner in which she self proclaimed herself president and she's also supposed to be in the role of a caretaker a kind of neutral government that is guiding Bolivia towards elections but she severed relations with Nicolas windows government in Venezuela she's kicked out hundreds of Cuban doctors so they are going beyond the line if you challenge. There are supposed to be new elections right in 3 months is that going to be possible do you think with all this going on it's going to be very hard for them and it really is dependent on whether they can establish a secure foothold they certainly haven't done that yet Firstly the new interim president has to come down the violence that's going to be very difficult she's going to appoint a new electoral authority both houses of Congress remember are controlled by mud out of his Socialist Party and meanwhile But Alice is still out there engaging in this him and he's putting out tweets that on one hand support dialogue and on the other hand rally support against what he describes as a coup against him so it's very hard to see a clear path out of this and full of just briefly what are people telling you. Well you know people are very worried I mean very polarized violence and fear of making things worse it's really not clear the army the police of the capacity to cope and I'm stuck here people on the street shouting slogans calling for civil war so we have a very dangerous situation here that's N.P.R.'s Philip Reeves in the Field thank you so much You're welcome. On Capitol Hill this week the impeachment inquiry was brought into public view Democrats and top u.s. Diplomats painted a picture of a president who used taxpayer dollars as leverage for his own political gain but there was another theme they kept coming back to that the trust and security of Ukraine which is relied on the u.s. For support was also threatened Here's former ambassador to Ukraine Marie of out of it on Friday our leadership depends on the power of our example and the consistency of our purpose both have now been opened to question and that is with the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America the advocate for stronger u.s. Ukraine Relations and he joins me now from New York welcome to the program thank you I was really struck by the tenor of urgency in the testimony of the diplomats this past week as ambassador Bill Taylor put it in his opening statement and I'm quoting here Ukraine is right at this moment while we sit in this room and for the last 5 years under armed attack from Russia while we're seeing this impeachment hearing here in the United States what's happening in Ukraine and Ukraine there is live fire going against Ukrainian positions on a daily basis going back to 2015 when the 1st peace process was put into place and Minsk that's he's higher has not kept longer than a week at best. How would you describe the state of u.s. Ukraine relations at the moment. We're in a brand new phase the previous administration probably was thrown for a loop as the rest of the world was with the election of Donald Trump and did everything possible to strengthen that relationship to the extent that the United States started handing over lethal weapons to Ukraine for the 1st time as well as Ukraine was able to purchase several Coast Guard cutters to increase its navy now however we are in a brand new situation with a brand new president a novice president being the one in Ukraine not the novice president in the United States were hoping that they too can get into a room and maybe start working closer together but at this point everything centers around this impeachment investigation and we've seen reporting that really because of this impeachment investigation we really don't have a lot of high u.s. Level contact with Ukraine that's true in both directions So currently there is no appointed and accepted embassador from the United States to Ukraine neither do we have a special representative of the opposition as far as we are being told by the White House will not be filled again and from the other side Ukraine dismissed most of these investors throughout the world after the election of President Selenski and they too have not appointed an ambassador that's been confirmed to the United States so what does that mean for Ukraine in December there will be the 1st peace talks with Germany France Russia and Ukraine So right now there is nobody really from the United States who is saying please let us into this peace process so we can advocate on behalf of Ukraine currently the governments of France and Germany have very strongly indicated that they would like to take the side of Russia and this peace negotiation is their worry that Ukraine is sort of become toxic in a way the United States and there might just be a complete disengagement and there's always that worry you crane has had throughout the entire 20th century where at times there was enormous support for freeing Ukraine all to disappear with. A change in attitude by the United States however what is still very clear is there is enormous bipartisan support and currently in the Congress you should also look at the fact that since 2015 numerous National Guard but have visited Ukraine and trained Ukrainian Guardsmen on an ongoing basis and that exchange is going to benefit Ukraine in the long run that's and the b.n.c. Of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America thank you very much have a good day the open hearings in the House impeachment inquiry have introduced the country to a new face Republican congresswoman Elise stiff onic who represents a district in northern New York she was once seen as a moderate who kept President Trump at arm's length now stiff onic has emerged as one of his fiercest most high profile defenders North Country Public Radio's Brian Mann tells us more in a list of on the 1st one her seat in 2014 she was just 30 years old at the time the youngest woman ever elected to Congress she promised bipartisanship and a focus on policy and I will work with anyone regardless of their party affiliation to get it done Republicans Democrats independents and he survived it was appointed to the House Intelligence Committee she already had a deep resume she's a Harvard grad worked in the Bush White House and was a close ally of former House speaker Paul Ryan after President Trump selection stuff on it criticized many of his signature policies opposing the border wall blasting his trade tariffs and most recently condemning Trump's decision to withdraw u.s. Troops from Syria I think it was misguided I think it was the wrong approach and I think it will turn national security at risk at times to find accused startling language to describe the president calling his actions inappropriate offensive and quote contrary to our American ideals but when the Ukraine scandal broke stuff on it pivoted sending fundraising letters to potential donors promising to stand up for President Trump and telling reporters the probe is a. Political smear this is a very very serious matter and I have not seen evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors I'm proud to support President Trump and I oppose impeachment during public hearings this week step on it did just that condemning the process at every opportunity clashing with the Democrat who chairs the Intelligence Committee out of shift and mastery and on the bench thank you for being able to use a gentlewoman was suspended What is the interruption for this time it is our time in fact to phonic was violated procedural rules established for the hearing but combative moments like that quickly elevated her profile tweets about her performance were shared repeatedly by President Trump and her own Twitter following exploded she's drawing praise from conservative media right for the Wall Street Journal and National Review and also made a coveted appearance on Fox News where she again blasted Democrats who she's now taken to describing as socialist and radical the American public was watching riveted waiting for a silver bullet and they didn't have that 3 weeks of open and closed door hearings to find it has appeared and swayed by detailed testimony from senior career diplomats who allege President Trump politicized u.s. Foreign policy in order to leverage an investigation by Ukraine against Joe Biden one of his Democratic rivals her stance has drawn criticism including from former allies Washington Post conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin blasted Steffanie going to call him this week for quote declaring there's no harm in extorting Ukraine to do trumps political dirty work Nicolle Wallace the m s n b c host who also served in the Bush White House tweeted that stuff on Nick is one of the occasionally reasonable Republicans who's become a trump shill that kind of high profile pushback maybe one more sign stuff on it has moved to the center of the fight over President Trump and impeachment stuff on it was also named this week by Time magazine with 100 Next List of the most influential young leaders in America by a man n.p.r.

News I'm Lugosi and of our own senior White House advisor Steven Miller is an immigration hardliner that much is clear he's engineered everything from the Trump administration's family separation policy to the travel ban on people from some Muslim majority countries but now Democrats are calling for his resignation after the Southern Poverty Law Center obtained leaked e-mails in which they say Miller encouraged far right website Breitbart to promote white supremacist ideas in one message after a statement released by Pope Francis in 2015 that was sympathetic to refugees Miller references a book of fiction writing quote Someone should point out the perils to camp of the Saints this novel is a dystopian apocalyptic French novel about a flotilla of migrants from India who overtake a Southern town in France Chelsea Steber is a scholar of French literature at the Catholic University of America and she teaches camp of the saints with key themes are actually white supremacy and the end of white civilization as the West knows it infestation invasion hordes of nameless faceless migrants who come to indeed invade the West and bring about its end that sort of language that we see mirrored in some of the comments today yeah absolutely I mean my interest in this novel was precisely because really with the inaugural address I noticed a language that I was intimately familiar with because I study it because I've worked on far right French nationalism and its literature and language for a long time and I was sort of blown away the alarm bells started going off I was recognizing a language that was not normal political discourse that I was used to hearing but a discourse that I absolutely know and you teach this text your students what are their reactions I'm interested their reactions are sort of to be overwhelmed I mean I write about how the book itself is I mean from a pedagogic point of view very effective because it performs the. Effect of investigation with its language and with its figures of style repetition metaphor and so students feel quite invaded by the language and it is an emotional and visceral reaction and that's his power I suppose Absolutely I mean again to study it is so important to understand how it could quite literally infest a mind a person to believe things and with my students the thing that I do that I think is so important that I would guess encourage anyone who wants to read this book to do is to ground ourselves 1st in humanity and humanism and we agree that we believe in the equality of humanity the dignity of humanity and when you start from that point of view and you read this book and you realise that a central conceit in the novel is that you cannot respect the humanity of all beings that you must create a hierarchy and that the white West is the most human and thus must reject this subhuman group it becomes easier to see how incredibly disturbing and wrong it is Kathleen Bellew is also familiar with the book and others like it novels that morph from fiction to reality for white power activists they fill imaginative holes that people can use in organizing and they provide kind of a map of ideology and operations that spur future activity blue teaches history at the University of Chicago and wrote a book about the roots of white power movements in the u.s. Called Bring the war home camp of the saints she says mirrors the central belief of white nationalist thinking which is that most political issues of the day are at bottom about the reproduction of the white race and the birth of white children this is why you see people focusing on the birth rate right we see the birth rate appearing and manifestos of violent actors the 2 people in this movement white reproduction is not just about sort of a peaceful demographic transformation but it's about this feeling of being overrun by immigrants about being threatened to. Forced integration and about the idea that the white race is under attack and I think that sense of emergency that is depicted in works like canvas a Saints and The Turner Diaries explains how white nationalism becomes such a captivating and kind of world consuming way of thinking about politics so this book has been referenced by Steve Bannon former advisor to President Trump Republican Iowa Representative Steve King. What does that mean to you you know when we're thinking about the historically ingrained problem of racial inequality and anti immigrant xenophobia in American society there are a number of laws and policies and systems in our country that perpetuate harm to people of color crossing the border and racial inequality and I think reasonable people can agree that we have a society that is structured intentionally or otherwise by those systems then we have something operating at a personal level that's just racial animus some people have prejudiced against people of other racial or ethnic backgrounds but this is something else this is a organized ideology it has a coherent worldview that is not only deeply racist and xenophobic an anti immigrant but also at times un-American and dedicated towards war on the state I think this represents a real difference in. In intent then a policy that simply enacted with an after effect of harm this is about deliberate construction of a white nationalist public policy coming from the halls of power into our laws and into our nation so Steven Miller all this Lee is one of the main architects of President Trump's hard line immigration policies. These e-mails show that he referenced the book what do you think that says. I think this is clear evidence that this is a person who is immersed in and is trafficking in white nationalist ideology the camp of the saints is one example of this the other things that appeared in the e-mail chain include articles posted on websites that propagate white nationalist and anti immigrant contacts and some of which have been identified as hate groups. I think that to me the important thing here is that this really shows that we can't consider the Trump immigration policy as. Sort of belonging to the unintentional harm category of white supremacist society to me it shows that this is a deliberate and intentional attempt to propagate that kind of a system Kathleen Bellew is an assistant professor of history at the University of Chicago thank you very much thank you. Both of the Keystone oil pipeline is up and running again after a recent big spill in North Dakota the pipeline which stretches from Alberta Canada all the way to Houston reportedly leaked almost 400000 gallons of tar sands oil into a wetland area the spill was keystones 2nd major one in 2 years that's raised concerns about a 2nd pipeline called the Keystone x.l. Which isn't built yet but whose proposed path goes through Montana South Dakota and Nebraska Jeannie crumbly is a retired teacher who lives along that path in Nebraska we caught up with her yesterday afternoon she was in the middle of a meeting of affected landowners with their lawyers I asked her 1st what they're discussing it's a discussion of the whole process is truly where we currently stand and what we're looking toward in the future and would Keystone x.l. Involve the actual taking of some of the. Landor you just near it and affected in some other way you know absolutely I'm an affected landowner there would be 2 quarters of ground that they have their eyes on and describe where you live in Nebraska I live in rural northeast of Roscoe 2 factors I think are important number one were on what they would call the edge of the sandhills strangely Sandy very marginal very fragile soil we are on the Ogallala aquifer so any spill could impact the Gawker for which is one of the nation's most important water sources and is it a family farm it's a family farm where in the 3rd generation the 4th generation is currently taking over the operation the 5th generation is in college to grandson studying and with the intent of moving back to the farm so we have a 100 years of investment in interest in this land so did reps from Trans Canada the corporation that owns the pipeline come to talk to you about this project and if they did what they say they phoned us in the very beginning to say they were taking our land and sure what they were offering us we came into the whole fight I guess neutral really not knowing and we have turned to our legal team to be our spoke 1st and because Trans Canada has a multimillion dollar operation we don't have the expertise to read the is spent in understand and so we're relying on a really excellent legal team to represent us and how many landowners are there being represented they have almost $100.00 landowners 70 some are active in current lawsuits but we have held this at bay for 10 years and adding to this the recent spill in North Dakota. Must have affected your view of the project oh no it just confirmed our view of the project that because we. No I have sensually have a master's degree in pipeline now we've been doing this for 10 years and we've watched bills along the way for 10 years so it's no surprise to us so the question isn't if it will still the question is where and when it does or we protect it when you go back to the idea of eminent domain it's a foreign corporation running a pipe through American soil to deliver a product to export to China not a bit of which will be spent on this United States certainly none in the brassica there is no public use there's no public gain from it and so it's great misuse of eminent domain law so you're saying that eminent domain law either shouldn't or doesn't apply here I'm saying that the state has used him in a domain law but I think all citizens should look at what eminent domain law is and when did it transform from public use or public to actually corporate profits and so I think that's something that all citizens should be concerned about and should be working at the legislative level to really have it redefined Teenie Crumley who lives along the proposed Keystone x.l. Pipeline and the brassica thank you very much thank you. 29 year old. Paso Texas thinks the best way to listen to music isn't through your buts it's actually in your car when you're just surrounded by it and you have all these speakers just blasting the song to get you ready for where you're headed a few years ago she was headed to a music festival when she found her signature song the power by sweet spirit to pass time we were just literally going through an entire list of bands and artists who would be performing and one of the bands on there was sweet spirit and so I of course I touch it into my phone and that very 1st song that came up was power and I played it and it was just a jam. And practice that. If I had to give it one word it would be energizing It's like your heart automatically matches the beat and just gets to comping gets you ready. To. Shoot. But it wasn't just the music that captivated the lyrics told a story of a young woman defying expectations and that was something she knew about as a young girl and a small South Texas town growing up I was underestimated a lot and when I proved to you know to be successful at something or when I proved to actually be good at something I mean there was always a group of people who were always so surprised like I didn't have it in me but to me on the other and I was always like Wolf of course I did it it was going to get done there was no doubt about it. And. Like you. Say how is. A middle school speech teacher announced on day she's nervous about teaching she blasts the power in her car on the way to work she says it's a shot of pure confidence and a reminder of what's at stake for some of her students the problem that I see is that I'm not a lot of girls do recognize their power or don't really understand the way how they can use it and so that's something that I strive for in the daily on a constant basis is just getting students just to know that they have it in them and that they are capable and as long as they have it the possibilities are endless for them so she's got a hold of Paso Texas sharing her signature song the power by sweet spirit. You're listening to Weekend Edition from n.p.r. News the Crown has a new cast Award winning actress Livia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter join the 3rd season premiering today on Netflix n.p.r. T.v. Critic Eric Dugan says the show manages a seamless transition while also continuing to ask important questions about the role of monarchy in a democracy the Crown's 3rd season begins with the Livia Coleman as a dour disappointed Queen Elizabeth as 1964 and she's staring at 2 portraits of her profile for postage stamp one a new image and the other from her youth as an aide tries to lift her spirits rooms post offices to logic as a new profile. Which they feel to be an elegant reflection of a magisters transition from young women too. But a mother of 4 and subtle saw from this scene features images of Coleman and the woman who played a list but in the 2 previous seasons of the Crown Clare forward it's a not so subtle not to a changing of the guard on screen Gone is the luminous full way in the impish Matt Smith who played young Elizabeth and Prince Philip n. Comes Coleman to bias mentees as Philip and Helena Bonham Carter as a little bit sister Margaret now Margaret desperately wants to be queen but her desire is overshadowed by qualities especially an impulsive entitled nature that would make her terrible at the job and doesn't stop her from complaining including on a flight with her husband played by Ben Daniels eldest sister on the system number one and number 2 who is number one you. Unnatural number one who's tragedy it is to have involved the 2 This is my but. She knows it too. Is and she does. Wonderful is bottom card as Margaret is Coleman's Queen Elizabeth is the bigger acting triumph she must show competing ways of emotion side a woman known as a solid ruler who spent decades perfecting the art of seeming unmoved it can look at times as if Coleman is wearing the same 3 expressions in every episode but she signals Elizabeth's emotional turmoil and small moments pursed lips or a tear Welling that never quite gets out of her eye a key moment comes when Elisabeth must confront a relative played by the always regal Charles Dance who wants her to dismiss a struggling prime minister and Parliament I am protecting the prime minister I am protecting the Constitution I am protecting democracy but if the man at the heart of the democracy threatens to destroy it we supposed to just stop by and do nothing yes. Doing nothing is exactly what we do and wait for the people that voted him in division out again if indeed that is what they decide to do there is so much to love here Clancy Brown is a crusty Lyndon Baines Johnson bonding with Margaret over their shared disdain for j.f.k. Menzies Philip cluelessly causing a day lose of bad press when he complains on us t.v. About the royals a low pay so much in these episodes would be avoided at the monarchy just had a good press agent it's always been tempting to dismiss the Crown as a high priced soap opera aimed straight at Anglo Files but the show's real mission has often been asked what's the purpose of a hereditary monarchy and a democracy this show humanizes a royal family tangled by contradictions to have power yet not to be fiercely private public figures to participate in world events only has the Regal reserved face of a democracy the crown might in some way be propaganda for an unfair aristocracy but it's also irresistible insightful television Americans.

Now let's go back in time 500 years 2 people are about to meet and change the history of the Americas forever the result will be the fall of the Aztec empire and the creation of new Spain which will become Mexico James Frederick tells us more from Mexico City it's November 8th 1519 and nano Cortez and his 500 fellow conquistadores are walking into the Aztec capital. Now in Mexico City they are amazed welcoming them as the Empire's ruler King Montezuma the 2nd he greets Cortez and then something strange happens to come he's the doors said Montezuma immediately surrendered his empire to them no more but I thought about that the more. I decided it just didn't quite make sense that's historian Matthew rest all from Penn State University his 2018 book when Montezuma met Cortez argues that our understanding of the Spanish conquest is all wrong how amazing Cortez and the small band were able to to defeat an empire of millions in a few years that is this colossal misconception of misunderstanding rest I'll believe that or secretly jailed and then murdered Montezuma but made up the story of surrender to make the conquests more palatable He also says local enemies of the Aztecs and disease were keys to their downfall the Spanish in the heart of Mexico City centuries old troops still lie underground. Below me as the archaeological site temple in my yard the great as that temple of its time and in the background is the great Catholic cathedral that the Spanish built literally on top of this holy site once they had conquered the city. Going on within. I'm joined here by Carlos have year gone silent and rollbar Rodriguez from Mexico's National Institute for anthropology and history there's basically got on a lot to know being ready then you can interview Gonzalez says that when the Spanish arrived to take notes he'd learned the 1st place they were brought was here the great temple because it was the symbol of the empires power this 200 foot tall pyramid was seen as the center of the universe and a city around it was impressive it in a state land they had and was sworn in as you that we did and they are says can actually land was a huge city as you had public institutions a whole system of government schools public services it was a totally organized city I mean a mighty outer office a 62 year old taxi driver from Mexico City who says it in the ruins for the 1st time caller said was.

As a descendant of these indigenous people after the Aztecs were defeated in the city destroyed Spanish accounts portray them as uncivilized savage barbarians they cite the zone Bunty a tower made of human skulls that Pereira and his team continue to excavate a few blocks away he says the Spanish willingly Nord its significance in Aztec culture does get up as a rebirth and the cake and then there was more he says it's important to understand the worldview of the Aztecs and their complex rituals around death this tower was about giving life to their God of War and the sun historian rest all says that the doors later invented a savage image of the Aztecs that used it justify not only conquest and call meditation but any and all acts of violence and subsequently emerge correcting the historical record has modern day implications he argues indigenous peoples to day can more easily be marginalized mistreated ignored if there's a popular belief out there that in some sense their ancestors. Were barbarians who needed to be civilized for n.p.r. News I'm James Frederick in Mexico City. One of the most anticipated Broadway plays of the season is a 2 part 7 hour epic inspired by e.m. Forster his novel Howard's and the play is called the inheritance and it opens tonight in New York the inheritance looks at different generations of gay men and the legacies they passed on Jeff Lunden takes a look e.m. Forster his novel starts with this sentence 1 May as well begin with Helen's letters to her sister 1 May as well begin with the day Matthew Lopez was taken by his mother to see the Merchant Ivory film playwright Matthew Lopez I was this 16 year old Puerto Rican kid in the panhandle of Florida and I'm watching this story about a group of Edwardian Brits haggling over real estate and inheritances and there wasn't anything that really should have spoken to me about the film and yet everything did so Lopez got the book and devoured it along with other novels by the closeted author the thing that drew me to Forster most specifically I think was I was picking up on what I would call the vibrations in the vibrations were a closeted gay man in the early 20th century speaking to a closeted gay boy at the end of the 20th century and Lopez thought why not use Howard's End as a starting point for a play that looks at gay life in the early 21st century and have him Forster's spirit help guide a group of young men to tell their own stories 1 May as well begin with Toby is what voice mails 1 May as well be good noways voice mail to his boyfriend see. You or are going to die when I tell you what you're missing call me back Toby's had a martini. 'd in the play Forster's middle class Schlegel sisters become boyfriends the upper class Wilcox's. Become a billionaire gay couple who survived the aids crisis and the lower class Leonard best is split into 2 characters Adam a young this spiraling actor and a street hustler named Leo You cannot adapt Howard said and not write about class even when you take these characters and change them millionaire and change the century they live in and change who they fundamentally are the structure of the novel demands that you deal with class and so I decided that that would also be one of the guiding influences in the play this story sofa deals with the middle class give or take even with those who feel obliged to pretend they are. The boy Leo was he was born he was raised and he lived in poverty it's not just class that drives the play it's generational perspectives Col solar plays Erik who inherits a rent controlled apartment in New York City and eventually a country house upstate but solar says inheritance means much more in this play there is also the inheritance to younger gay men of the generation that is coming up right now of a responsibility and a debt to the generation that came before them the generation that fought tirelessly to be able to walk down the street and hold your partner's hand to kiss your husband in public to get married to just truly be accepted for being who you are and love and you love and for 24 year old actor Samuel h. Levine who plays both Adam and Leo learning about the aids generation from the play and the older actors in it has been I opened I had no idea about this massive loss of a whole generation of people that just fell off the face of the earth and were not taught about that in school no one talks about that really and so yeah for me it was. Just like whoa in the play one of the older characters spells it out tell me the name of one of your closest friends Tristan imagine that Tristen is Dead them another Jasper Jasper is also dead. Jason Jason has been at St Vincent's for 2 weeks actor Paul Hilton plays Walter who describes what it was like to go through the Aids epidemic Hilton says when he does this scene he 10 here people in the audience weeping there is an order will rumble Sapulpa ball feeling of grief inevitably because we're dealing with so many states and also spirits playwright Matthew Lopez says he invoked those ghosts out of his own sense of responsibility I grew up as a young gay man feeling absolute alienation from the generation that came before me and I think that part of the attempt of writing the inheritance was a way of finding compassion for a generation of gay men that I didn't really understand and I realize that I didn't understand them because of the great trauma they experienced that they were just simply incapable of being able to turn around and explain to my generation and I needed to not just understand what that was but to feel what that was as e.m.
