I’m a 1960 baby, and since I can recall, football has been like this. It’s been a more important, more substantial part of American life.

I’m no scientist, but I’ll dare extrapolate and say that it’s pretty obvious that the more you struggle to recall something, the smarter you are!
I like signing books for a living; I do. But you have no idea the panic that sets in. I am not a very good speller. Put me in a stresser situation, and I lose all capacity to recall how to spell the most simple names.
A reporter from ‘The Times’ wanted to arm-wrestle, and as I recall, he kept challenging me. So we went at it, and there was a pop. His arm broke. Very strange. He went into a kind of swoon.

Those who remember Washington’s cold war culture in the 1980s will recall the shocked reactions to Reagan’s intervention.

Recall when the Congress-led government was in power; then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had talked about who had rights to the country’s resources. He had, taking the name of a religion, planted the seed of appeasement politics in the country. The result of Congress’ appeasement policy is terrorism.
As you may recall, Truman was extremely unpopular when he finally left Washington in 1953, thanks largely to the Korean War. Today, however, he is thought to have been a solidly good president, a ‘Near Great’ even, in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then.

My parents were ballet dancers, and I did a lot of ballet, too, so I think I learned quite early on how to hold my body. Although I do recall desperately wishing I was shorter at school.

My police record says I went to Panama City, but I don’t recall it.

Your mind, while blessed with permanent memory, is cursed with lousy recall. Written goals provide clarity. By documenting your dreams, you must think about the process of achieving them.
In 1986, Microsoft and Oracle went public within a day of each other, and I recall telling one of my colleagues that the software business will become big. So I started working with software companies in the mid-’80s and never turned back.
IN trying to recall my impressions during my short war duty as an officer in the Austrian Army, I find that my recollections of this period are very uneven and confused.
Citizens, not less generous than myself, let your most precious moments be employed in causing the past to be forgotten; let all my fellow-citizens swear never to recall the past; let them receive their misled brethren with open arms, and let them, in future, be on their guard against the traps of bad men.
One has to spend time sort of really going back through one’s memories. When you do start doing that then, you do recall more as time goes on.
I’lI say this: I recall entering Congress in 1971 and being called a ‘feminist’ by members of my own party as if it was a dirty word. They didn’t realize that I wore that label as a badge of honor.
I do notice that I spend a lot of all my time steeped in different forms of myth, such as English folk music, for example, not really studying it necessarily, but just trying to experience it so I can recall it later.

In Tbilisi in 1990, I recall watching zealous Georgians smash statues of Lenin and Stalin. A few days earlier, though, in Moscow I had been invited to address the Red Army, as one of the first Brits to benefit from Glasnost. The subject they chose: The Cuban Missile Crisis.
Not too long after ‘OITB’ debuted, I was at NewFest and I saw ‘Black Is Blue,’ a short film by Cheryl Dunye about a Black trans man trying to make it in Oakland. It was the first time I could recall seeing a Black trans man on screen and this was in 2015.
Live TV is physically grueling. I’m concentrating very hard to recall numbers, dates and events to bolster my argument and win a debate. Every eight to 10 minutes, a new sport or topic is thrown at me.

I think I’m learning how to release every day. Recognizing that everything you encounter, touch, or love can become part of you, and in essence never disappears, as long as you can recall it to memory or heart. It’s all so connected that we lose everything, but also, we never lose anything.
