Tower and Town, May 2026 (view the full edition)Editorial: Tomorrow Is Another DayThere is an element of contrast in "Tomorrow is Another Day"; tomorrow could be a much better day. This contrast lends itself to invigorating lines of thought. Hence, it is a much healthier way of thinking of tomorrow when life's junctures prove to be challenging indeed. I guess this is somewhat like what was on the mind of Charles Dickens when he penned his famous opening lines of "A Tale of Two Cities", a contrasting duality view set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. This edition contains articles exploring contrast within the set theme. In my utopia article, you will find the making and experiencing of utopian tomorrows. Tony Kieran, on the other hand, excellently brings forth contrasting interpretations from "Gone with Wind" and "Macbeth". This is followed by an introduction to the Chaldean Christians with an emphasis on the "Tomorrow is Another Day" ethos of the Adamo family navigating through some historical discontinuities. In addition, Catherine Byrne contemplates the unknown tomorrow and tells us that tomorrow will be a fresh chance to reaffirm our commitment to the things most important and necessary. You will then find some personal recollections from the Atomic Age at the Harwell laboratory and how the outcomes of making a better tomorrow are not always predictable, the article also offers glimpses into the life of scientists. Hugh de Saram, on the other hand, presents us with contrasting views of the meaning of Easter and the interpretation of sacrifice to God, a worthy topic for discussion. Moreover, Father John Blacker reminds us that reading the signs in human behaviour is more difficult than reading the signs of the weather. His message is that of mercy, compassion and forgiveness. I am grateful to the authors, compiler, and readers of the draft of this edition. Raik Jarjis |
