More than fifteen years ago, V. S. Naipaul and Paul Theroux \u201cfell out in a spectacularly-bitter war of words, after Naipaul sold some of Theroux\u2019s gifts at auction. The anger seethed for almost two decades. But on Wednesday the hatchet was resoundingly buried, with eighty-two-year-old Naipaul breaking down in tears after Theroux praised one of his most famous books at a literary festival in India, and compared the author to Charles Dickens.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Centuries ago, an excavation in Italy revealed a collection of some two thousand ancient Roman scrolls, most of them treatises on Epicurean philosophy. Unfortunately, the scrolls have a tendency to crumble in your hands, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhpbooks.com\/crumbling-scrolls-uncovering-and-recovering-an-ancient-library\/\" target=\"_blank\">which makes it fairly difficult to read or even preserve them<\/a>. People have tried taking knives to them (didn\u2019t work), applying a gelatin-based adhesive (didn\u2019t work), or just throwing them away (didn\u2019t work).

Though Wajcman acknowledges an initial negative judgment of this scene, she quickly reconsidered. The elderly mother was clearly not very aware of her surroundings and was likely comforted by her daughter\u2019s presence. The daughter was able to provide this solace while engaging in other activities. (She could also have been reading a book or magazine.)
