Catch 22 by Joseph Heller

On October 10th, 1961 the book Catch 22 by author Joseph Heller was first published, and it did not become a best seller at all in the U.S. unlike in England where it did become a best seller immediately. Thanks to the movie version of it made in 1970 by director Mike Nichols, the book became a best seller in the U.S. Hence, on October 10, 2011 it was the 50th Anniversary of the publising of this book - which is about a World War II bombardier captain who intended to have himself be declared insane so that he wouldn't have to fly anymore missions bombarding cities in Europe; the book also spawned the catchy phrase "Catch 22" - when something never come to a close. The main character was played by Alan Arkin as one of the first aspergers known in the world. Also Orson Wells and Martin Balsam performed in the movie. As is known, Mr. Joseph Heller was once told at a dinner party, "Haven't written anything as good as 'Catch 22' have you?" and his response was "who has."

A Poem by John D. Rockefeller Sr.

"I was early taught to work as well as play; my life has been one long happy holiday, full of work and full of play. I dropped the worry on the way, and God was good to me every day."
