The Bells of Summer are summer itself:
all urgent tasks aside;
moments stayed by sounds sustained
and sent back;
air cleansed of noise by gentle motions
in cups of bronze,
the lightness of being conveyed
in rhythms of measured stress, without strain;
the wily musician of struck bells,
master and foreman of their perfection,
modestly out of sight through forty-one summers,
comes into sight, and to our right praise.
— Bernard O. Brown, Fourth Dean of Rockefeller Memorial Chapel

Mentation: Managing Depression and Mental Wellness as We Age
Wednesday, August 10
12–1pm Central
Meeting ID: 240191593
Passcode: Lunch | Maintaining our mental processing, thinking and memory are key to healthy aging! The focus of this Drop-In — Mentation — is understanding how to recognize and screen for changes that could be related to depression and understanding approaches to maintaining mental wellness.
Mentation is the fourth topic in our exploration of the framework for age-friendly health care. Age-friendly health care is health care that addresses your unique needs and wants. It is care that is safe, can help you enjoy a better quality of life, and is based on what research shows are the most important things to pay attention to as we get older. Age-friendly health care has been summarized as the 4Ms: what Matters, Medications, Mentation and Mobility. Previous CHPV Drop-Ins have explored What Matters, Mobility, and Medications. This is the first of two presentations on mentation. The second part of this topic will be presented at a future Drop-In. |
Chicago Hyde Park Village's free Drop-In webinar series is held every 2nd Wednesday of the month. All are Welcome. Invite a Friend.

Last Call at the Hotel Imperial: The Reporters Who Took on a World at War with
Deborah Cohen
| | | This book was conceived when the author was exploring the John Gunther papers located at Special Collections Research Center, Regenstein Library.
Last Call at the Hotel Imperial is the extraordinary story of UChicago alumnus John Gunther, H. R. Knickerbocker, UChicago alumnus Vincent Sheean, and Dorothy Thompson. In those tumultuous years, they landed exclusive interviews with Hitler and Mussolini, Nehru and Gandhi, and helped shape what Americans knew about the world. Alongside these backstage glimpses into the halls of power, they left another equally incredible set of records. Living in the heady afterglow of Freud, they subjected themselves to frank, critical scrutiny and argued about love, war, sex, death, and everything in between. A page turner.
Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Deborah Cohen now lives in Chicago, where she's the Richard W. Leopold Professor of History and Chair of the History Department at Northwestern University. She writes regularly for the Atlantic on subjects ranging from punk rock to World War I photography. As her family can attest, she spends way too much time at flea markets. |
