Chapter 325: "I'm Moving Out"
The previous chapter was 404 ahem, everyone......
325
βwhatοΌβ Edward looked at Silari from his apartment in New Haven with a look of incredulity.
Because the latter said they were going to move.
"Moving? Why? Are you uncomfortable living here? You don't need to pay rent either, Chris moved away, and I don't come often...... cough cough" said that someone here blushed, it is true that he does not come often, but after he came, he did not go back to his bedroom, but in the room of the familiar Qian Leiry, and the things after that were more indescribable.
"Ahem, such a big apartment equals you living alone...... "How many people dream of this?" β
"I'm sorry, Ed, I'm ...... I ......"
"Huh?" Edward was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth were a little sour, but ...... Well, it's not impossible for people to do this, after all......
"Got a boyfriend? Who? I'm not interfering in your private life, Bolton or Collinton, these two don't look good at me, they don't make a big deal......" The air was instantly filled with a sour smell, and putting some sugar to liquefy it was sweet and sour juice "Really, these two guys I suggest you stay away from them......"
"No, no, no," Ceyleri's face flushed, "No, no, I'm not in love, I, I'm ...... ...... with you."
In the end, I didn't say any more.
Edward Fox was suspicious: "No boyfriend? β
"No?"
"Then why move? You'd be hard-pressed to find a better place to live in New Haven...... Honestly, I wanted to buy this apartment, and then New Haven would have a nest...... Rest assured, you can live forever as long as you want. β
"Ed, it was Gloria and Dworkin who wanted me to move in with them, saying that it would be easier for the three of them to work on a policymaking agenda together...... They've already found a house, and the two of them have already moved in, so they're waiting for me...... Well, it's a big apartment, and Janet will move into it in a while......"
"Gloria, Dworkin? And Janet? Who is this? How come I've never heard of it? Edward scratched his head, and then blurted out, "Is it big?" β
"Persimmon?" Because the second half of the sentence is said in Chinese, Si Lai Rui did not know for a while what this noun to low means.
"You don't care about this, I said, who are these two? How did you get mixed up with them? β
"Actually, you've seen it," Silari smiled, "I'm sure I did, but you can't remember." β
"Where?"
"Wall Street!"
"Wall Street?"
"Yes, Wall Street!"
"I don't go to that bird place a few times a year, where do you think I've met your future roommate?" Edward looked incredulous.
"Have you forgotten that when you were going long in theaters across the United States, Daniel Brewster went to Wall Street to give a speech and called on everyone to occupy Wall Street, and many students and professors in New Haven came to support you at that time......"
"Uh......" Edward scratched his forehead, "I seem to be a little impressed by what you said, I remember that your female phalanx had a set of punches at that time...... That time you were at the front, very beautiful ......"
"yes," said Celere, who looked very happy after being complimented, "I was Gloria James on my left and Dworkin Boxer on my right."
βοΌ Gloria? That black aunt? Edward asked with palpitations, he remembered, at that time, there was indeed a black woman of height and weight on the left side of Silery, who could not tell her age to say that 20 could say 40, and from the total volume analysis, she might be related to the 200-pound Aunt Messerway, otherwise there was no way to explain why these two were as strong as North American grizzly bears.
"Gloria is good, though, although it looks ......" Silaria also began to scratch her head, she and Gloria had a good personal relationship, and it was naturally a little uncomfortable to hear her be described like this.
"Well, I don't mean anything. But that Miss Boxer, I think about it, frankly I have a very bad impression of her, and her face looks like, forget it...... Do not say...... I don't want to recall. Okay, how did you guys get together? β
"By the way, and Janet, I don't think I saw her in the parade?" Edward asked
"Yes, her surname is Yellen, she is a PhD student in the Department of Economics, a very, very smart person, she is also a Jew like you, I just need some knowledge of economics, I happened to meet her in the library, she taught me a lot of things very generously, we found that we both liked each other very much, so we became friends, and it happened that her house was also due, so let's just go together......"
Janet Yellen ...... Sounds familiar, but can't remember where you've heard it? Edward muttered to himself.
"It's normal, she's a big celebrity in the economics department, and her name often appears in journals or big academic events." Silari explained
Edward decided to give up on this issue, he was sure that in his current state, he would never be able to think of it, let it be, if this person was really powerful, then maybe he would remember? "Okay, let's move on to the club."
"Didn't you ask me to be active in New Haven and organize women in the name of caring for women's rights?"
"Yes, yes, it's important to me, I control some societies, and it can help me solve a lot of problems, like I did when I occupied Wall Street, and I have to say, you're doing a good job. Come here."
Hearing this, Si Lairi walked up to him meekly, and someone unceremoniously pulled her to his lap, and groped in with both hands, "Uh-huh, it's a little smaller, it seems that I really lack care for you recently"
He smiled evilly: 'But don't worry, I'm going to stay here for a few days, there's time.' β
"Ed" Cylari softened a little, "I've moved out, and if you need me, I'll be back right away." β
"Let's not be too busy to talk about this, but I have always forgotten to ask, have you now got a women's rights organization?"
"Yes," said Silare, her eyes lit up, "the name of the organization is the Committee for the Protection of Women's and Children's Rights, I am the vice president, Gloria is the original founder, she is also the president, and she is very close to me. β
"I can't see it, you're still a social genius" Edward used a little strength in his hand, tsk, the feel was still very good, and he didn't want to let go when he rubbed it.
"Hmm," Ceyleri flushed, but answered the question seriously, "After all, I'm a member of the National Association of Revolutionary Daughters of America...... A little bit of a natural advantage......"
The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, often abbreviated as the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), was originally founded in 1890.
In the language of Edward's previous life, it was a loose national civil society, but because of the peculiarities of its members, it was granted a charter by Congress in 1896, which was somewhat semi-governmental.
As for its peculiarities, for example, the concert hall of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., which was inaugurated just a few days ago, has only 2,400 seats, but this is already one of the largest concert halls in the United States.
But the largest music is the Constitution Auditorium at DAR's headquarters, which can seat 3,700 people, which is 50% larger than the Kennedy Center, and this headquarters actually occupies an entire block of space, in addition to the largest concert hall in Washington, D.C., which also hides the largest genealogical library in the United States, the largest collection institution, and so on
It can be seen that its influence and financial resources.
The biggest peculiarity of DAR is its restriction on the identity of the member, 1. It must be a woman, the biological kind, it is not counted if you have a JB but you think you are a woman, 2. You must ...... Revolution......
It shouldn't sound like it should be in the New World, at least the name Moscow would be more appropriate.
After all, the word revolution is inherently red, and it is a bit out of step with the blue-blooded rule here.
The revolution in the DAR membership conditions means that the member needs to prove that he or she is a direct descendant of a patriotic American revolutionary, such as a person whose ancestors fought in the Civil War - even if it was the Confederate Army, or participated in World War II in the United States, Mexico, and the United States.
This may seem like nonsense, but considering that in 1890 or even now it is still quite advanced - after meeting these two criteria, you can apply for membership regardless of age, religion, or color, and you will usually not be rejected, which is extremely revolutionary......
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s I had a dream that the sons of former slaves and slave owners would be brothers at the same table, and apparently that hadn't come to fruition, but calling each other sisters was a reality.
This is really a particularly paradoxical situation, the universal human rights norms (anti-racism), in this country that claims to be the most open democracy and freedom in the world, but it has to be ashamed to put on the vest of other organizations to be implemented, this vest can be the DAR, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), or various Jesuit religions and even green sects, but it cannot exist alone in the real society......
Of course, the slogan can be shouted casually, but ...... Actual...... Right......
Speaking of DAR, such a membership condition is not too high, and it is not too low to say that it can attract a large number of women to participate, and the three views of the participants are quite correct, at least proud of the bloody sacrifice of their fathers, a high sense of identity with the United States, and they are all enthusiastic about "public welfare" (in short, they are politically ambitious, and those who are not ambitious are too lazy to sign up, right?). οΌ
DAR has nearly 3,000 chapters across the country and around the world! There are hundreds of thousands of members.
This makes it a huge power in itself, in other words - an important ticket base.
Such an organization, which seems to be a public welfare organization, can actually provide a lot of resources, either explicitly or implicitly, in the operation of society, to help members succeed, and in turn, members do not forget to feed back to DAR after gaining power, and find suitable successors to train them.
DAR is also an important part of lady politics, as for the status and importance of lady politics at the moment, ahem, then there is no need to say more.
Celery entered with this aura, and naturally received preferential treatment, plus she received someone's guidance, and soon gained the trust and friendship of President Gloria.
"Hey...... "Well," Edward began to scratch his head, "it's really hard to stop you...... But before that, let's pick her up and walk to the bedside after ...... first.
"FXXK" When someone was taking off his pants in high spirits, he heard a loud commotion outside, which was getting louder and louder, and it was extremely noisy......
He scolded and walked to the window, because his underwear was dragging between his feet, and he almost tripped over.
Outside the window, a large number of students ran out of a building as if the blue hats were chasing them.
βοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
He put on his pants and ran out to ask.
Something happened in Dwight Hall, the building where everyone ran out, and someone opened fire.
This hall was originally used to show movies, and Yale has its own student film association, which can rent copies from major distributors at very good prices for on-campus screenings, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the whole society's support for students and caring for the pride of heaven.
The Film Association is a student organization, which shows movies and conducts film review activities on a daily basis, harmless to people and animals, and enjoys happiness.
The president and vice president of the association, Carl Stoke and Nansen Hagen (this surname seems really unsightly), are fans of Edward, and the two are undergraduates in the history department, but after watching someone's several classic court debates, they were immediately shocked and said that this is the ultimate ideal in life.
Edward had a good sense of these two simple and honest young men, and privately promised them that he could advise them on the professional direction and mentor for them when the time came.
It is a normal teacher-brother relationship in school.
"Fxxk, Nansen, what's going on? Shoot? When did Jenuhhaven become the Delang Valley! "Edward was furious, panicked to be exact.
Guns in the United States are a big problem, but it's okay for him.
Brooklyn has a lot of black guns, but who does he love someone?
Mizrasi Rabi's grandson, although the old thing didn't recognize it back then, but the blood relationship is there, and there is no blind attempt to verify whether the old rabbi really doesn't take this person seriously......
As for New Haven, it is a model of good law and order, New England, the gun ownership rate is not low, this is a certain folk custom caused by historical tradition, just like Texas red neck on the street would rather not carry a wallet than a gun in the butt, but New Haven and even Connecticut rarely have shootings, and it is usually a crime committed by outsiders to fight, and when you go to Yale, although guns are allowed in schools, not many people actually do it......
That's why on the Great Lawn, there are often bloody fights between students from different factions, but there are never shootings.
Edward, in addition to the fact that he often saw reports of shootings on television and occasionally heard gunshots at night in the Polo community, he always felt very far away from shootings.
But now it's less than 50 feet!
As a ghost who is afraid of death, of course he panicked!
"Ed, I don't know! After turning on the projector, I went to sleep and heard from them that there was a fight in the front row, someone hit someone with an unopened beer can, and then someone shot ......"
"FXXXK, what a ......"
"Damn," Nansen cried, grimacing.
"Someone hurt?" Edward asked if there were casualties, and that Stoke and him, as the head of the film association, would be to blame, and perhaps an ugly note would be made on their resumes - the shooting that resulted in the death and injury of students in the process of organizing the film screening was not a big deal, but it would have some impact on finding a job in the future.
"No one was hurt, but while the bastards were fighting, the cans flew onto the screen and smashed the screen, and there was a bullet hole in it...... It's expensive......"
"Oh" Edward felt sorry, and then closed the window, and there was still someone waiting for him on the bed......
