I know a woman who was lovingly married for seventy years. She has had a long, meaningful life that she has lived according to her principles. But I wouldn’t call her happy; her compassion for the vulnerable and concern for the future have given her a despondent worldview. What she has had instead of happiness requires better language to describe. There are entirely different criteria for a good life that might matter more to a person — honor, meaning, depth, engagement, hope.

Перекинулась парой слов с журналистом, который жил в Москве в начале 80-х и писал для Daily Telegraph о культуре и политике.
Он припомнил пару имён генсеков и рассказал чуть-чуть о быте. Жили в переулках у Пушкинской площади, зарплата позволяла регулярно покупать икру -- зато никуда не пускали, кроме Москвы и Киева

optical grape sorting
The grape harvest which to be sorted is rapidly analysed in free fall by HD cameras, and rotten and unripe berries together with any ramaining foreign material are reliably removed with the aid of compressed air jets.
