Millions of women and hundreds of thousands of men greeted the election of Donald Trump with some of the largest demonstrations the United States has ever seen. People joined in around the world. They were not only reacting to Trump’s boast of assaulting women but also were there to celebrate the impact of feminism and to show they would resist any attempts to roll back progress on women’s rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe people in the streets and the tens of millions more who cheered in support inserted new life into decades of feminism and powered everything that was to come. Within months, revelations of sexual harassment and assault poured out of Silicon Valley; the film, theater, and TV industries; and the corporate world at home and abroad. The betrayal of trust, abuse of authority, and the denigration of women by men in positions of power pounded into our brains. As #MeToo and #TimesUp captured our attention, discussions quickly moved from newsrooms to dining rooms, staff rooms, and locker rooms. Men asked wives, daughters, and coworkers: Did anything like that ever happen to you? and a frightening number of women answered, Yes, of course, but why has it taken men so long to listen?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spreading shock waves are giving new impetus to demands in our workplaces for equal pay and equal access to all jobs.

They are bringing more attention to the critical need for quality, affordable childcare and for parental leave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd for men? More and more of us are realizing we cannot stay silent. We know we must speak out and we must examine our own attitudes and behaviors.

Anything could be an ambush. Two men, arm in arm, were strolling along. As he watched them, they were greeted by friends coming out of a doorway. Not assassins, then. To his knowledge, when the Men in Black were sent on a mission they never gave up until it was accomplished. So, yes, they would return.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe took a gondola to well beyond the Rialto Bridge, and got off, walked down an alleyway, then doubled back, and, followed another alleyway — a calle — this one parallel to the Grand Canal — until he came to the mansion that was the home of the famous courtesan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt was an old and distinguished-looking building. Candles burned in the windows. He turned into a side alley and walked down it until he came to a door. A single small lamp, a votive offering to the Virgin Mary, burned over the entrance. A tall broad-shouldered man stood next to the door. He looked Danilo up and down and nodded. Danilo entered and went up a narrow wooden staircase, and when he stepped through a door he found himself on a large landing with a marble balustrade, large windows overlooking the Grand Canal, tapestries, and marble flooring. Everything was sparkling and impeccable, as if the whole setting had been installed only that morning. Several fashionable Venetian youths were hanging about on the landing gossiping and laughing but they did not bother with him, only giving him a cursory glance and then returning to their skittish talk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA very pretty, very young maidservant, in a tight bodice with a flared skirt, was coming up the stairs; she nodded at Danilo, held his gaze, and whispered, “Follow me, sir!” She led him further up the broad torch-lit staircase to the second floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen they entered the main salon, Danilo was dazzled by the sumptuous carpets, the tapestries, the paintings, the gold and silver, the opulent furniture, the gilded mirrors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Ah, here you are!” An elegant young woman turned away from the window and greeted him as if they were old friends. She was perhaps twenty-two or twenty-three. Her manners, self-assurance, and sophistication made her seem older; the freshness of her beauty made her seem younger. She was standing by a tall window that looked over the canal. Her red hair tumbled freely down her bare shoulders, her breasts barely concealed, her long robe open along one side, exposing a length of perfect leg, sparkling white, in silk. She looked at him with an amused, calculating expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“You are a handsome fellow, my friend.

My name is Veronica Libero. My work is to give pleasure — sensual, sexual, intellectual, and cultural. The quality of the conversation is essential. People must relax. They must feel free to express themselves. My clientele is varied — but on the whole, it consists, with a few necessary and unfortunate exceptions, of the very best of society. Many of Venice’s leaders are my friends. I do use the word ‘friend’ with caution. But I think I can say that. So, among the clientele who frequent my little abode, there are also foreigners, German merchants, people who deal with Charles V, some ecclesiastical figures who visit Venice from time to time, several Frenchmen who are close to the Court of François I, and of course Turks and Persians and Arabs.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Yes, I see.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Now, some of these gentlemen speak languages I don’t understand; we would like very much to know what they are saying, what they are talking about.

Let’s invent someone, shall we? You are … Daniel del Monte!” For her, Danilo realized, life was a game.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe bowed. Now he had three names: David, Daniel, and Danilo. He felt, somehow, that he should kiss her hand. She moved with the fluid ease, casualness, and feigned intimacy of royalty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“In a few minutes, the visitors will arrive.

I do apologize for the indignity of it, but you will be stowed away here, in this closed little alcove.” She pressed against a small decorative detail, and pulled it aside. A door — up to that point invisible — opened and Danilo saw what looked like a padded closet, or perhaps an invisible corridor running parallel to the wall of the salon. A whiff of stale air wafted out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I have put in a stool to make it more comfortable.” Veronica turned to him. “You have a good memory, I hope.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I believe it is fairly good — ah, Veronica.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Would you like a glass of wine?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I shall abstain, thank you.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Very wise, Daniel, a clear head is essential in this business.

Venice is rich and Venice is a republic, Venice is small, and she belongs to all of us. She has been around a long time — a thousand years at least — and so she deserves our care and solicitude.” She smiled. Her perfume — a heady mixture of jasmine and rose — made Danilo dizzy. The lamps sparkled off the gilt and silver and glass.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVeronica put her hand on Danilo’s shoulder, and gazed straight into his eyes. “I must warn you, my dear Daniel.

The CPR mannequin has a face modelled after that of L’Inconnue; Amund, the Norwegian toymaker seeking to make sense of the tragic drowning of his own son, uses her death mask when he uses modern plastics to realize his vision for the mannequin, thereby playing a part in a discovery that will save thousands of lives.)
