Mindeord: Bente Hansen var socialist, feminist og en gudsbenådet fighter. Af Ole Wugge Christiansen (Solidaritet.dk, 28. april 2022). “Journalisten, forfatteren og debattøren Bente Hansen (1940-2022) er mandag 25. april død efter kort tids sygdom. De sidste år har hun tilbragt på plejehjem, men ellers har hun været en markant stemme i den offentlige debat i næsten 60 år.”
Bente Hansen – et feministisk ikon. Af Lone Kühlmann (POV International, 30 april 2022). “Med sin gode forstand, sit stærke engagement og sin munterhed blev hun et forbillede for mange kvinder både i sin egen og yngre generationer.”
Læserne spørger: Bente Hansen (Information.dk, 21. juni 2014). “Jeg er tit blevet revet i næsen, at vi fejlede med både det ene og det andet. Det gjorde vi sikkert, men jeg spørger, som Ebbe Kløvedal engang gjorde: Huskede vi nu at gøre alt det, vi kunne, mens vi turde?”

The death of a class. By Luca Peretti (Jacobin, 5 December 2018). “Italy’s illustrious Marxist filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci died last week. His films explored the death of the bourgeoisie; his legacy points us to the death of the chauvinist male auteur.”
Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci dies at 77. By Richard Phillips and David Walsh (World Socialist Web Site, 28 November 2018). “Bertolucci will be remembered for valuable films he directed in the 1960s and 1970s … As the analysis below reveals, Bertolucci subsequently suffered a precipitous artistic and intellectual decline … We are re-posting below Richard Phillips’ analysis of Bertolucci’s life and career that appeared on the WSWS in August 2012.

By Simon Frith (Jacobin, December 8, 2023). “John Lennon understood the contradictions of music making under capitalism but couldn’t solve them. Having struggled against being transformed into a commodity, he fell victim 43 years ago today to a nightmarish version of the pop fan’s need to be a star.”

Tyske blitz over London udbomber også herresædet Holland House i Kensington, hvis udbombede bibliotek blev fotograferet (under besøg af opkøbere i 1944).
Holland House, Lord Ilchester’s historic 17th. Century house, has been damaged during the recent air raids on London. An oil bomb started a fire on one of the towers and a ‘Molotoff breadbasket’ and a shower of incendiaries fell on the building. Firemen saved the east wing from complete destruction, but the rest of the house is a shell. Holland House, just off Kensington High-street, was London’s great Whig salon in the 18th century and the home of Charles James Fox, and also earlier, of Joseph Addison, founder of the Spectator. Photo shows – The famous library containing a number of valuable and historical books was completely wrecked. The spectacle of the three men shown inspecting books in the library was likely staged for propaganda purposes. 23 October 1940. Photo: Harrison for Fox Photos Limited. Public Domain.
