The Clown
… (German: Ansichten eines Clowns, lit. "Opinions of a clown") is a 1963 novel by West German writer Heinrich Böll.
[…]
Social issues
[…]
The church […] categorized German society into religious groups. Although the Protestants are shown as richer people in the novel, Böll portrays society was mainly under the influence of Catholics, especially in political and moral issues. The protagonist Hans does not get any benefit from either group. He is shown as a kind of pagan […] and participates in some ceremonies of both religions — although his beliefs are quite different from either. Even his clown's art does not win approval from some political parties, although he is a great performer.
[…]
Conflicts
There are some conflicts in the story, mainly on character versus society. In fact, it was religion, that takes his wife away and saw him ineligible to have a Catholic wife. Also, this novel indicates that only a written license determines the marriage of a couple.

Ansichten eines Clowns
… ist ein Roman des deutschen Schriftstellers und Literatur-Nobelpreisträgers Heinrich Böll. Bereits der Vorabdruck in der Süddeutschen Zeitung löste heftige Kritik, insbesondere von Seiten der deutschen Katholischen Kirche, aus. Im Januar 1963 wurde der Roman erstmals vollständig veröffentlicht.
Böll selbst kritisierte […], dass er sehr konstruiert sei, und hob hervor, dass sein Werk nicht von Anti-Katholizismus geprägt sei.
Inhalt
[…]
Das Buch endet mit einem pathetischen Bild: Hans Schnier […] spielt Gitarre, [… n]eben sich legt er den Hut, den er zu seinen Chaplinparodien getragen hatte. Die Leute halten ihn für einen Bettler, was er vielleicht auch ist, und werfen ihm Geld in seinen Hut. So wartet er dort auf die Rückkehr seiner Geliebten.
Die beiden der Druckfassung vorangehenden Niederschriften des Romans enthalten jeweils ein Schlusskapitel, in dem die Rückkehr Marie Derkums zu Hans Schnier geschildert wird.

The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb – Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot – TV Adaptation, 1993
Hercule Poirot is called upon to solve a series of mysterious deaths that are centered around the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Sir John Willard died moments after he and a group of archaeologists entered an ancient tomb.

Hastings Is Our Narrator
… and he’s in full-on Watson mode:
   ‘I have always considered that one of the most thrilling and dramatic of the many adventures I have shared with Poirot was that of our investigation into the strange series of deaths which followed upon the discovery and opening of the Tomb of King Men-her-Ra.’
After narrating this investigation to us, Hastings ends his story with another Watson-like pronouncement:
   ‘The case was hushed up as far as possible, and, to this day, people talk of the remarkable series of deaths in connection with the Tomb of Men-her-Ra as a triumphal proof of the vengeance of a bygone king upon the desecrators of his tomb – a belief which, as Poirot pointed out to me, is contrary to all Egyptian belief and thought.’
The story is situated as one of Hastings’s chronicles of Poirot’s past cases. There’s a bit of a suggestion that, much like ‘The Kidnapped Prime Minister’, this is a story that Hastings has held back until the time is right for its narration.
But this tone doesn’t seem quite right here. While the investigation may well have been ‘one of the most thrilling and dramatic’ undertaken by the dynamic duo, it’s surely also one of the most recent.

Happy Together – The Turtles, 1967
"It Takes Two"
… is a hit single recorded in late 1965 by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston for Motown's Tamla label.
Produced by Weston's then-husband, longtime Gaye collaborator William "Mickey" Stevenson, and co-written by Stevenson and Sylvia Moy, "It Takes Two" centered on a romantic lyric that depicted many things in life (dreams, love, wishes, etc.) being better with two people instead of one. The single became Gaye's most successful duet single to date, later outperformed by Gaye's duets with Tammi Terrell.
— It Takes Two (Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston song) – Wikipedia
Released December 1966.
Happy Together – Songfacts
Despite what the title implies, this is not a song about a couple in love. According to Gary Bonner, who wrote the song with Alan Gordon, the song is about unrequited love. Our desperate singer wants the girl to "imagine how the world could be so very fine," proposing what would happen "if I should call you up."
The line in the fadeout, "How is the weather?" is when he realizes they will never be more than passing acquaintances, as he resorts to small talk to keep from bursting into tears.
The song's composers Gary Bonner and Alan Gordon were the bass player and drummer of the Boston area group The Magicians. Bonner became a regular member of Kenny Vance and the Planotones. Gordon […] had songs recorded by Alice Cooper, Frank Zappa and The Lovin' Spoonful.

Released February 1967.
