The Engima ...



If new World War II code-breaking film Enigma is criticised for its historical inaccuracies, no-one can say that the film-makers did not try.



Tom Stoppard, who wrote the screenplay, got so immersed in the history of Bletchley Park that he even worked out how to crack the German Enigma code that was deciphered there.



Actor Dougray Scott, who plays the mathematical genius who breaks the code, spent five months researching the project and learned how to take an Enigma machine apart and put it back together again, while all the main actors talked to surviving Bletchley workers.



Director Michael Apted got tuition from a Cambridge maths professor so he could understand how the code machines worked, and actors were driven by Mick Jagger to Bletchley Park - now a museum - last year.



The Rolling Stones frontman's film company is behind the big screen story, adapted from Robert Harris's novel.



Although the characters are fictional, the setting is very real and work done there is said to have shortened the war by two years.



Apted says he was at pains to get the details of Bletchley Park and what went on there right - unlike some Hollywood war films that have simplified or distorted the stories.



"Trying to get a balance between the detective, thriller, human side of it, and the cerebral side of it - that was the struggle of the script," he says.



He had to "calm Stoppard down a bit" when the screenplay writer wanted to include all his intricate knowledge of how the code machines worked.



"When I read the first draft, it made my eyes water," Apted says.



"I loved it, but I didn't understand a word of it. It was terrifying."



There is a love story and a whodunit that Apted wanted to combine with the wider plot of cracking the Nazi codes.



"The whole idea... was to try to get a balance between the technicalities of it and the humanity of it," he says.



It is rumoured that Dougray Scott read Harris's novel 10 times - as well as meeting original Bletchley workers, professors and borrowing Jagger's Enigma machine so he could work out how to use it.



"I read it a lot because it was a wonderful source of research for the character," Scott says.



His character is a brilliant but unstable Cambridge student who gets one girl (the plain Hester, played by Kate Winslet) after losing another (the glamorous Claire, played by Saffron Burrows).



"Sometimes novels are very helpful that a film is based on, sometimes they're not."

The Enigma Of The Emory Mace

On the tenth floor of the Woodruff Library, tucked away in a corner of the Special Collections department, the Emory mace lies enshrined in a glass case, quietly awaiting Commencement day–its next opportunity to shine. ...

* Its bearer is traditionally the bedel of the University, a position held by the president of the Student Government Association... The bedel carries the mace in the crook of his or her arm and immediately precedes University President.

* Shaped like a teardrop, at its apex the mace bears a relief rendering in gold of a skeleton... In the teardrop is a golden sphere divided into eight segments... Atop the sphere is a simple cross... within the circular base is the seal of the University.

* The academic mace is a direct descendant of medieval staffs: the regal scepter and the battle-mace.

* For academic institutions, the mace is a symbol of authority and autonomy from outside entities, both political and religious.

The presence of the mace on the mace table at Commencement is a good reminder of the long history of universities in the West. The mace is sort of like a wedding ring in the old language of the sacraments–‘an outward sign of an inward and invisible grace.’ Its descent from an ancestor that could be used as a weapon makes it now like a sword beaten into a plowshare. I never look at it without being reminded of those scholars who, nearly a thousand years ago, gathered in Paris and Bologna and Oxford to create intellectual order out of the riot of medieval life.

Narendra Meets Sri Ramakrishna
In the year 1881 Narendra met Sri Ramakrishna for the first time. As it happened, Sri Ramakrishna had gone to Calcutta to one of his devotee's house. It was near Narendra's. ... Narendra ... treated the audience, especially Sri Ramakrishna, to many devotional songs. Sri Ramakrishna was highly impressed and invited young Narendra to Dakshineswar. Thus ended the first meeting between Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda ...
Three Friends ... Ram ... Surendra ... And Narendra ... Went To Dakshineswar.
Sri Ramakrishna asked him to sing a song. Narendra began to sing one of the most touching songs in Bengali. The first lines went like this: 'O mind, come; let us go home. Why do you travel in the foreign land of the world in a foreigner's garb?' Sri Ramakrishna was visibly moved by the sincerity and quality of Narendra's singing. Tears welled up in the eyes of Sri Ramakrishna, and he thus lovingly got acquainted with Narendra. Sri Ramakrishna treated him with utmost love and familiarity, as if they knew each other intimately and were meeting not as strangers but as close old friends.

Later Sri Ramakrishna got up and said, "O Narayana, why did you take such long to come here? I have been restlessly waiting for you since long." Thus saying, he escorted Narendra to inner room and fed him sweets and other eatables with his own hands. Naturally Swami Vivekananda was puzzled to receive this kind of treatment; this was not a natural reaction between two strangers.

Commenting about his first visit to Dakshineswar later, Narendra said, "It was most unusual kind of meeting. I could not understand the peculiar behaviour of that 'mad, monomaniac Brahmin'. I was reluctant to visit him again, but his pure love, simplicity, genuine renunciation and love for God pulled me again and again to him, despite protests of logic and reason."

THAT WAS "THE MASTER OF THE MOMENT" ... As Seen By A Great Disiciple!
