U.S. home prices accelerated in November compared with a year ago, pushed higher by rising sales and a tighter supply of available homes.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 5.5 percent in November compared with the same month a year ago. That is the largest year-over-year gain in six years.
All but one of the cities in the index posted annual gains. The largest gain was in Phoenix, where prices jumped nearly 23 percent. It was followed by San Francisco, where prices rose 12.7 percent, and Detroit, where they increased 11.9 percent.
New York was the only city to report a drop from a year ago.
Neither the Sarasota County nor Manatee County markets are included on the index, but nearby Tampa is: It saw a 6.8 percent increase in values from a year ago. Miami saw a 9.9 percent increase in prices from a year ago.
The local markets have seen a similar pattern.
During December, in the territory covered by the Sarasota Association of Realtors, the median sale price for a single-family home was $189,500, up 18 percent from a year ago. Manatee reported a median of $179,950, up 5.9 percent over the year.
Nationally, prices also rose in 10 of the cities measured by the index in November from October. That is up from seven in October from September.
The biggest monthly gains were in San Francisco, Phoenix and Minneapolis.
Monthly prices are not seasonally adjusted and frequently decline over the winter. The 20-city index dipped in November from the previous month.
Steady price increases should help fuel the housing recovery. They encourage more people to buy before prices rise further. Higher prices also build homeowners' wealth, which can spur more spending and economic growth.
The data "show a broad-based recovery in housing activity and prices across the country," said Michael Gapen, an economist at Barclays Capital. "We expect this housing recovery to continue in the coming years."
The S&P/Case-Shiller index covers roughly half of U.S. homes. It measures prices compared with those in January 2000 and creates a three-month moving average. The November figures are the latest available.
The index began to show annual gains in June and has found them to be larger each month since.
Prior to that, the index had fallen for 20 straight months.
Despite the increases, prices nationwide are still about 30 percent below the peak they reached at the height of the housing bubble in the summer of 2006. They are now at the same level as in the fall of 2003.
Purchases of previously occupied homes rose last year to their highest level in five years. The National Association of Realtors forecasts that sales will rise 9 percent this year.
Independent economists have similar forecasts.
Sales of new homes also rose in 2012, although they remain at depressed levels.
Stable job gains and record-low mortgage rates have encouraged more people to buy homes.
And the limited inventory of homes for sale has made builders more confident to step up construction. The number of previously occupied homes has fallen to an 11-year low.
Millions of homeowners still owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, making it difficult for them to sell. That is one reason the supply of homes is so tight. But higher home values are lowering the number of those "under water" properties and should encourage more homeowners to put their homes on the market.
More people are also moving out on their own after living with friends and relatives in the recession. That is driving a big gain in apartment construction and also pushing up rents. Higher rents are encouraging investors to buy homes and rent them.
The tighter supply of homes pushed builders in December to start work on the most homes in 4 1/2 years. Last year was the best year for residential construction 2008, just after the recession started.
Home builders are also benefiting from the rebound. D.R. Horton Inc. said this week that its profit in the three months ended in December more than doubled and orders jumped 39 percent.
"D.R. Horton is the best positioned it has been in its 35-year history," chief executive Donald Horton said. "We are looking forward to the spring selling season with optimism."

Victims of 9/11 Honored
Eagle Scout project to build memorial in Florida
This week communities across the country are honoring the memory of the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Jeff Cox, a 15-year-old Eagle Scout from Windermere, Florida, wants to give people in his community a way to honor those victims every day. He decided to bring a piece of the World Trade Center buildings to his hometown for a memorial.
"I remember I was in second grade and I really didn't know what was going on," Cox said of the attacks. "Then seeing these two huge buildings falling down on TV—it was like a scary movie, and I never really liked scary movies."
On September 11, 2001, four consumer airplanes were hijacked and intentionally crashed in a terrorist attack on the United States. Two planes crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Centers in New York City. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon. A fourth plane was headed for the White House, but crashed instead into a field in Pennsylvania. More than 3,000 people died in the attacks. Many of those people were firefighters and police officers—first responders—attempting to save people from the wreckage.
The young Eagle Scout's older brother is a local firefighter who was recently wounded in the line of duty. Cox said he wanted to honor the firefighters and other first responders, as well as the memories of all the people who died that day.
To put his plan in action, he first did some research. Cox went online and found that the Port Authority of New York City had preserved pieces of metal from the World Trade Center buildings. He then approached the Mayor of Windermere, Gary Bruhn, to see if the town would be interested in having a memorial.
"I thought it was a tremendous idea," Bruhn said. "We have a lot of requests for projects. This is a project that will stand the test of time and generations."
The Port Authority gave Cox several choices. He finally chose a 650-pound beam that was recovered from the destroyed buildings. The Port Authority keeps remnants from the attacks in Hangar 17 at JFK Airport in Queens, New York.
The next problem was how to ship such a huge hunk of steel from New York to Florida. Cox started looking for sponsors and volunteers to help. It didn't take long. UPS has agreed to sponsor some of the cost of the shipping and local engineers have volunteered to design the memorial.
The town of Windermere donated a piece of land where the memorial will be placed. The city is helping Cox find someone to donate a spotlight.
Cox hopes to have the memorial finished by the end of the year. He is planning a dedication ceremony on February 20, 2010.
"The town of Windermere is celebrating its firefighters and policemen that day and I thought that would be a great day to dedicate the memorial, too," he said.
Mayor Bruhn agrees.
"It will be a constant reminder of those firefighters and first responders not only on 9/11 but beyond that," Bruhn said. "They serve our community and put their lives on the line everyday."
The memorial is not just for Windermere residents, but all of Central Florida as well, the Mayor added. "I think it will touch a lot of people to see steel from the actual towers."
You can find out more about the artifacts being preserved in Hangar 17 at JFK airport in New York from a report written by Kid Reporter Juliette Kessler in 2007. Kessler, who was also in second grade when the attacks occurred, was in school only a few blocks from the World Trade Center site. Six years later she toured the hangar and remembered her experiences from that day.

GMC Shows New 2013 Terrain Denali
- Luxurious Denali trim coming for Terrain SUV
- All Terrains get a new V6 option
- 4-cylinder still offered, even on Denali
A few weeks ahead of the 2012 New York Auto Show, GMC took the wraps off an all-new version of its 2013 Terrain crossover SUV. The GMC Terrain Denali is essentially a fully loaded version of the Terrain. Premium features that are typically optional on the Terrain come standard in the Denali, including collision alert and lane departure warning systems, and a voice-controlled infotainment system with color touchscreen, iPod integration and connection to streaming internet apps like Pandora and Stitcher.
While many of the Terrain Denali's features can be added to any Terrain, the Denali version does get a few exclusive features to make it look and feel a little more distinct. There's a unique grille, brushed-style chrome trim plus new headlight and taillight designs. Inside there's a soft-touch dash, leather wrapped steering wheel, unique wood trim accents, lighted front door sills and an 8-way power driver's and passenger front seat. Navigation and rear-seat entertainment remain optional even on the Denali.
With GMC's new Terrain Denali comes a newly available V6 that will be offered in all Terrains for 2013. The new engine is a direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 with variable valve timing that produces 301 horsepower. GMC believes that even buyers who can afford luxury cars might be interested in better fuel economy, so the Denali trim can also be had with the Terrain's 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. That engine is rated at 32 mpg on the highway. The mpg ratings for the new V6 aren't available yet, but GMC says the use of direct injection and variable valve timing should make the more powerful 3.6-liter V6 just as efficient as the 3.0-liter V6 it replaces.
Like other Terrains, the Denali version is available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
What it means to you: As gas prices rise, many drivers are looking for ways to do more with less. The GMC Terrain Denali is a way to get good fuel economy without sacrificing luxury or SUV functionality.

we found says the richmond times in a number which was mostly full of the debates in congress on the missouri question then in its crisis a curious avowal of the edit or's opinions on the subject of slavery — an able correspondent using the signa ture of an inquisitive slaveholder prov ed by many quotations from the bible that slavery was distinctly recognized and sanctioned under the old jewish policy the enquirer published the essay with a prefatory editorial which we copy below it is at least amusing to observe that while the enquirer of the present day holds every whig press to be heterodox which hesitates to give assent to mr el wood fisher's pleasant argument that the slave states are richer than the free states such sentiments as the following were openly declared by the former editor in the very midst of the great excitement that pervaded the country on the missou ri question in the same paper which contained this editorial the first news was given of the prospect of compromise at washington the same which was car ried into effect and the editor bitterly emned lhe scheme as a violation of ■" sovereign rights ofthe states : from the richmond enquirer of februa ry

ele , gant and forcible production it may too have the good effect desir ed by the author of softening down those firery enthusiasts of the east who cite the bible without reservation as an authority on all occasions for charging the southern people with inhumanity — and who seem to have forgotten that the evil of slavery has been too common ; not confined lo ourselves alone but even found among the ancient hebrews — by what mysterious dispensations it was so permit ted it is not for us to presume to conjec ture we protest however and of that of so many others that we do not vindi cate

is this the question now ? is it not a curse not chosen by our forefathers but upon them and entailed upon our selves ? and does not every man unless be be a fanatic conceive how difficult it is for us to be rid of it in a manner con sistent with future peace and tranquility as to the extension of slavery beyond the mississippi it is miserable cant ; it would tend to soften the evil and to

Art Basel Miami Beach presented premier quality works and strong programming
A sculpture constructed of LEGO blocks titled "Kosmaj Toy," by Los Carpinteros is shown on display as part of Art Basel Miami Beach, Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012 in Miami Beach, Fla. Art Basel Miami Beach and about two dozen other independent art fairs open Thursday. Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the 11th annual Art Basel Miami Beach, the U.S. extension of the contemporary art fair held each June in Basel, Switzerland. AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee.
The 2012 edition of
Art Basel
in Miami Beach officially closed yesterday, Sunday, December 9. Praised by critics, exhibitors and visitors as Art Basels most serious presentation in Miami Beach to date, its galleries across the board reported consistent sales throughout the week.
The show, whose main sponsor is UBS, again attracted 50,000 visitors, generating an attendance of 70,000 over the five show days. Art Basel in Miami Beach was visited by over 130 museum and institution groups from across the world. Renowned private collectors from the Americas, Europe and emerging markets returned, and were joined by new collectors from around the globe.
As Art Basel marked its second decade in Miami Beach, more than 250 leading galleries from 31 countries from North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia presented the highest quality of work at the show, underlining its seriousness. Given a particularly strong representation of Modern material at the show, as well as the entry of a dynamic selection of younger galleries including nine that were newly accepted to the fair from NADA visitors explored 11 decades and over 110 years of art history within the Miami Beach Convention Center. Additionally, collaborations with local and international partners ensured a diverse and deep program of art events, from Art Basel Conversations and Art Salon to Art Public, Art Video and Art Film, making this edition a celebration of the artists and their galleries.
The experience of galleries proved highly positive:
Stefania Bortolami, Bortolami Gallery, New York
'After the destruction that the gallery experienced from Hurricane Sandy it is significant that we were able to show at Art Basel Miami Beach. All of our efforts were rewarded by meaningful sales at the fair and wonderful exposure for our younger artists.'
Alia Fattouh, Lombard Freid Gallery, New York
'I would say that the fair comes at a crucial time for many New York galleries that have been hit by the hurricane and the flexibility that Art Basel showed in these exceptional circumstances has been particularly appreciated and helpful.'
Silke Thomas, Galerie Thomas, Munich
'Art Basel Miami Beach 2012 has again been a great fair. There were interesting new collectors and sales. We really enjoyed being part of the show.'
Sean Kelly, Sean Kelly Gallery, New York
'The preview of Art Basel Miami Beach was the best first day the gallery has ever had at any art fair...ever. We literally had nothing left but to sell off the iPads. We sold an Antony Gormley for 300,000 GBP, a Los Carpinteros for 110,000 Euros, and every Terence Koh we brought. We also met new collectors and viewers genuinely interested in our artists. An astonishing fair!'
Adam Sheffer, Cheim & Read, New York
'We were delighted again this year by the results at Art Basel Miami Beach. It remains the gold standard of the international art fair circuit.'
Marc Payot, Hauser & Wirth, Zurich, London and New York
'At a moment when art fairs are almost too numerous to count, Art Basel Miami Beach stands out in attracting an extraordinary number of museum curators and directors from across the entire United States and around the world. With that in mind, we presented an exhibition-like stand that brought clarity and very high impact to new works by just two artists - Roni Horn and Guillermo Kuitca. We are now engaged in talks about several important institutional projects for both artists. So for Hauser & Wirth, this year's fair was a major success not only in commercial terms, but also in the opportunity to connect our artists' with museums internationally.'
Steven P. Henry, Paula Cooper Gallery, New York
'We approached the show in a very serious way this year, with a strong curatorial view. We noticed that there was a lot of thought that went into the presentations around us as well. The general statue of the Miami Beach edition has really risen to a level comparable to Basel.'
Hella Pohl, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Salzburg, Paris
'There was a very strong demand for works by Georg Baselitz and Robert Longo. Our first sale, a work by Jason Martin, happened only a few minutes after the fair opened.'
Elyse Goldberg, James Cohan Gallery, New York
'This year's Art Basel Miami Beach was a truly wonderful fair. We were successful in placing many works in collections both public and private, as well as meeting collectors, curators, and writers new to our gallery.'
Thomas Dane, Thomas Dane Gallery, London
'We have had good fair in Miami. We had success in selling works by Arturo Herrera, Glenn Ligon, and Alexandre da Cunha. Miami has always been an important fair for us and this year was no exception.'
Maho Kubota, SCAI The Bathhouse, Tokyo
'This is the only American fair where we show. We had a clear strategy to present only Japanese artists from multiple generations and through this we were able to share the diversity of Japanese art with a large number of viewers and have connected with many new and diverse collectors in return. The show's high quality allows exhibitors to showcase works as they deserve to be seen.'
Pedro Mendes, Mendes Wood, São Paulo
'Miami for us is a junction between the North and the South. It's almost a port where everyone gathers. At the show in Miami, we've connected with collectors and curators from so many different countries and throughout the region that in a sense Art Basel Miami Beach becomes a window for Latin American thought, its art dialogue and practice.'
Paul Kasmin, Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York
'This year the fair drew primarily new international clients for us and it was a great success for many of our artists. It was a particularly remarkable year for Iván Navarro, with the fair's curated programs for Art Kabinett and Art Public.'
Flávio Cohn, DAN galleria, São Paulo
'We are very pleased with our participation at the show and have had very positive responses to our presentations. We achieved good results, even better than we had hoped for. The interest in the Latin American and Brazilian artists we represent has definitely grown over the past two years.'
Jorge Mara, La Galería Jorge Mara La Ruche, Buenos Aires
'This is our third time at Art Basel in Miami Beach - and it has been the best fair for us. Over the past two years visitors to the fair have come to see and buy, and now they are coming back again. We bring artists to the show not many people outside of Argentina or Latin America know and we provide the intellectual background to get to know these artists.'
Aurelia Bourquard, Press & Communication, Art: Concept, Paris
'The fair went well, the sales were good and we met extremely interesting collectors from Europe as well as the Americas.'
For the second year running, Art Public, produced in collaboration with the Bass Museum of Art, turned Collins Park into an outdoor exhibition space with large-scale sculpture, video, installation, and live performances. For this year's edition, the sectors curator Christine Y. Kim, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art (LACMA) and Co-founder, Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) brought even more complex works to Miami Beach and extended the exhibition space into the sky, across which Dave McKenzies airplane carrying a banner offering different marriage proposals every day. A highlight of the week, Art Public Opening Night on December 6 was free and open to the public, offering a program of performances by Jason and Alicia Hall Moran with Brandon Ross, My Barbarian and Alex Israel. For more information please visit artbasel.com/public.
Art Kabinett became one of the talking points of the show for connoisseurs. 20 select galleries from the Art Galleries sector of the show curated exhibitions in separately delineated spaces within their booths. This year's sector presented work by artists including Fiona Banner (Galerie Barbara Thumm), Chuck Close (Two Palms), Jannis Kounellis (Galerie Lelong), Jorinde Voigt (David Nolan Gallery) and Yan Xing (Galerie Urs Meile), and curated shows on General Idea (Esther Schipper); Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Marcel Duchamp, Suzanne Duchamp (Francis M. Naumann Fine Art); and Helio Oiticica and Jarbas Lopes (A Gentil Carioca). For more information please visit artbasel.com/kabinett.
For others, Art Positions proved a highlight. Featuring a tight selection of 16 galleries, the sector continued as an exciting platform for collectors, museum directors, critics and art enthusiasts to gain further insight into the work of individual emerging artists. Presentations included: Matt Keegan (Altman Siegel Gallery SF), Pablo Rasgado (Arratia Beer), Nathan Peter (PSM), Leyla Cárdenas (Galería Casas Riegner), Colby Bird (Fitzroy Gallery), Christian Flamm (Galeria Fonti), Felipe Arturo (La Central), Irene Kopelman (Labor), Paulo Vivacqua (Galeria Laura Marsiaj), Julieta Aranda (Galerie mor.charpentier), Atsushi Kaga (Mothers Tankstation), Asli Cavusoglu (NON Gallery), Ivan Seal (RaebervonStenglin), Andra Ursuta (Ramiken Crucible), Latoya Ruby Frazier (Galerie Michel Rein), and Agustina Woodgate (Spinello Projects). For more information on Art Positions, please visit artbasel.com/positions.
With 40 galleries on display, this year's edition of Art Nova featured work by more than 100 artists from across the world including juxtapositions such as: Yael Bartana, Tal R., and Tom Burr (Sommer Contemporary Art); Tania Pérez Cordova and Nina Beier (Proyectos Monclova); Becky Beasley and Simon Dybbroe Möller (Francesca Minini); Theaster Gates and Angel Otero (Kavi Gupta Gallery); John Gerrard, Michelle Lopez, and Hans Schabus (Simon Preston); Brigida Baltar, Lucia Koch, and Melanie Smith (Galeria Nara Roesler); Julião Sarmento and Leigh Ledare (Pilar Corrias); Dove Allouche, Jonathan Binet, and Jessica Warboys (Gaudel de Stampa); and Hao Liang, Yangjiang Group, and Zheng Guogu (Vitamin Creative Space). The sector again became a space of discovery for works fresh from the studio. For a full list of galleries and the artists, please visit artbasel.com/nova.
Also in its second year, Art Video was produced in collaboration with the New World Center and David Gryn of London's Artprojx. Following its success last year, the free screenings in SoundScape Park on the 7,000-square-foot outdoor projection wall of the Frank Gehry designed building were extended by one additional night of programming and attracted an estimated 1,200 visitors. Showing just over 60 videos, the program was marked by the dusktill-dawn screening of 'Bliss' by Ragnar Kjartansson, which was presented in collaboration with MOCA North Miami and the New World Center. For more information please visit artbasel.com/video.
Art Film was again selected by Zurich film connoisseur This Brunner and presented the feature-length documentary film 'Painters Painting' (1973) by Emile de Antonio on the New York art scene from 1940 to 1970. For more information please visit artbasel.com/film.
Steering debate and discussions not only on the state of the art market but the arts in general, Art Basel's daily program of talks offered its patrons and the general public another platform to engage with art in a meaningful way. Many leading artworld figures took part in the morning Art Basel Conversations. The Premiere Artist Talk featured legendary artist Richard Tuttle in conversation with Chris Dercon, Director Tate Modern, London. Further topics included the 'Public/Private' panel discussing 'The Encyclopedic Museum' on the Friday of the show. Saturdays panel focused on 'Why Japanese Post-War Art Matters Now'. On Sunday the 'Artistic Practice' series presented 'The Artist as Musician'. Art Basel Conversations is presented by Absolut Art Bureau, responsible for The Absolut Companys international art initiatives.
Art Salon, which includes shorter presentations each afternoon, featured 20 talks, ranging in topics from the Latin American art market to 'New Perspectives from the Edge of Arabia'. Taken together, both talks programs represent an essential aspect of Art Basels concept, reflecting the idea that the show is not only a marketplace for artworks, but also a meeting place for all of the artworlds key players.
Museums and Private Collections
Once again, Miamis leading private collections among them the Rubell Family Collection, Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, the De la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space, World Class Boxing, the Margulies Collection, and the Dacra Collection opened their homes and warehouses to guests of the international art show, putting on museum-quality exhibitions especially for the duration of the show.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- British energy explorer Tullow Oil said it didn't find hydrocarbons in an exploration well offshore Kenya after examining a secondary target.
Tullow this week said it discovered a natural gas pay measuring about 170 feet thick at the Mbawa-1 exploration well off the coast of Kenya, its first hydrocarbon discovery in the region.
The company said it drilled to 10,338 feet to examine a secondary target but no hydrocarbons were found.
Tullow Exploration Director Angus McCoss said he was encouraged by the preliminary results from the shallow objective at Mbawa-1.
"Although the deeper targets at this location were unsuccessful these results will be vital in evaluating the still significant prospectivity of this block," he said in a statement.
In August, Tullow started an oil campaign in the Twiga South-1 exploration well in Kenya. The company has expressed confidence about the emerging energy potential for Kenya and the country could play host to an oil pipeline planned from South Sudan.

S&V Talks with Filmmaker Neil Jordan
From The Company of Wolves to The Crying Game, Mona Lisa to Michael Collins, and Interview with the Vampire to The Butcher Boy, Neil Jordan has consistently made films that take us deep into the woods of his unusual characters' imaginations. At the time of the DVD release of Breakfast on Pluto (Sony), his latest exploration, Jordan talked to me from Dublin.
I read that you're going to work on a film called Me and My Monster (2007). Couldn't that be the title of many of your films? You mean like the beast inside? Yes, it could. I like stories about people who don't know what's within them, that underscore the parts they never knew existed. And I like to make movies that confront characters with areas of experience that are inexplicable to them - where their rational explanations of the world don't suffice.
Since your films often have fairy-tale elements to them, do you find that they're better experienced in an intimate home theater environment, rather than in a cinema? I never watch my films after I make them, unless they come on late-night TV. But I do see a lot of movies on my home theater.
What kind of system is it? I haven't got a clue. The system is, you stick a DVD in and you watch it. [JK laughs] No, it's one of those overhead three-color projectors.
With surround sound? Yes. It's as good as cinema, but the problem is that someone always upsets the programming. You have to be a techno head to get it to consistently work right.

Defender of the Jewish People
Adah Isaacs Menken (1835-1868) the original Jewish American superstar, the beautiful sensation of the Victorian era, revolutionized a woman's role on stage and in private life. Adah's heartfelt cause was the plight of the Jewish people under hostile regimes, and their eventual return to a homeland. Daring as performer and poet, her verse reveals, in the words of Allen Lesser, a pioneer biographer, "an untamableness of spirit, a messianic zeal, and a yearning for sublimity that is unmistakably Hebrew." During the Civil War, Adah was the soldiers' pin-up for North and South. Petite, dark-haired, and curvy even when dressed in men's evening clothes, she blurred the distinction between fame and notoriety.
Adah sang, danced, mimed and gained global fame by her daredevil role in Mazeppa, a hugely popular melodrama adapted from Lord Byron's poem. She played a heroic prince who leads Ukrainian troops against the Russian Czar, fighting for independence.
Adah was born in Milneburg, Louisiana (a suburb of New Orleans) in the summer of 1835 while Haley's Comet shone in the night sky. Biographers have argued she was exclusively either of Jewish, Irish, or African-American descent. Although they have combed birth records as filled with holes as Swiss cheese, they have failed to identify her father. However, in the Jewish tradition, the child's mother is the key to her lineage. She was born Adah Bertha to Marie Théodore, a French-speaking woman of color who professed the Jewish faith. Marie is described by her daughter as a woman of "amiable character and cultivated spirit." As Adah admitted to her fourth husband, author Robert Newell, her mother came from antebellum New Orleans' "third caste"–light-skinned and free, a so-called octoroon. That Marie was kept by a series of white "husbands" explains Adah's tall tales about a mysterious, aristocratic father.
Adah kept secret her racial origins but celebrated her Jewish religion. In 1855 in Galveston, Texas, she met and married Alexander Isaac Menken, the tall, handsome conductor of a theater orchestra. Alex came from a prominent German-Jewish family settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. For a time the young couple lived in New Orleans, where Adah performed successfully in local theaters. The financial panic of 1857 caused the pair to steam up the Mississippi River to take shelter with the Menken clan. In Cincinnati Adah became a disciple of Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, the father of Reform Judaism.
Wise, born in Bohemia in 1819, the year of a massive pogrom, believed the Jewish future was to live in a secular country of equals and to adapt institutions and ritual to the modern world. He tirelessly fought discrimination and to unite American Jews into a national union. Wise introduced mixed and equal seating for men and women in his temple. He fraternized with his congregation, and Adah became the leading light of a group that frequented the office of the weekly Israelite. According to Leo, Rabbi Wise's son, "Several of her poems were included in the 'Minhag of America' hymn book," Wise's reformed ritual. Adah's style remained conventional, but her message cried out for justice for the Jewish people.
Adah's strong, messianic poetry, published in the Israelite, so impressed Baron Lionel de Rothschild that he called her, "the inspired Deborah of her people"–after the Old Testament female warrior. In "Shylock," an essay, Adah protested against the stereotypical portraits of Jews in drama. She attacked playwrights, even Shakespeare, for their willingness to pander to the crowd. She pointed out that in the Italian original of The Merchant of Venice, "Shylock is a Christian and the victim a Jew." Adah looked forward to a brighter artistic future. She herself would instigate sensational changes in the theater, breaking the taboo on celebrating a woman's body on stage.
Adah appeared in local theaters, while husband Alex, her manager, drank heavily and physically abused her. She attempted to reconcile with him, publishing "A Wife's Prayer," in which she promised to be "humble and obedient, useful and observant." Adah had a talent for deluding herself, but a few months later–July, 1859, Adah left Alex and fled towards fame.
New York on the edge of the Civil War was a bustling, contentious place. Adah Menken found friends in Augustin Daly, the successful writer and producer of melodramas, and Frank Queen, publisher of the Clipper, the Variety of its day. Adah kept her ex-husband's name "Menken" to identify her as Jewish. In response to a press interview, she denied a reporter's assertion that she had "embraced the Jewish religion." She insisted: "I was born in that faith. Through that pure and simple religion, I have found the greatest comfort and blessing." Adah advertised her Jewishness by worshipping at synagogues and refusing to perform on high holidays even if it meant closing the theater. She slept with a Hebrew Bible close by, and she considered it her greatest treasure.
Supposing she was divorced, Adah quietly married John Carmel Heenan, the Irish American heavy weight boxing champion. He left Adah pregnant and broke while he fought in England for the world crown. Upon his return, he denied he was married. Meanwhile Alex Menken publicly claimed that he and Adah had never divorced. Scandal! The national press simultaneously denounced Adah as a bigamist and termed her "the most dangerous woman in the world," a euphemism for prostitute. Adah's public attempts to defend herself were attacked as immodest. For a time, the intimacies of the actress and her two husbands took front-page precedence over the election of Abe Lincoln to the Presidency and rumblings of war.
Adah could no longer get parts in the theater. Her mother passed on, and though she gave birth to a boy, the infant died. Heenan the champion was everywhere acclaimed while Adah shivered in a garret, alone and miserable. To live, she posed for semi-nude photos, sold under-the-counter by news dealers. Out of this emotional trial came Adah's "wild soul poems." These she wrote "in the stillness of midnight, and when waking to the world the next day, they were to me the deepest mystery." She grasped that her verse stemmed from the unconscious: "The soul that prompted every word and line is somewhere within me . . . to wait the inspiration of God."
Over a two-year period, Adah's next husband-to-be, Robert Newell, editor of the influential Sunday Mercury, published her searing poetry. Confessional, heartfelt, her verse broke all conventional rules. Adah became the Apocryphal Judith, the beautiful Hebrew widow who acts daringly with no sense of shame. She enters the tent of the Assyrian general Holofernes, seduces him, and as he sleeps cuts off his head. Holding the head aloft, Judith chants:
Oh, what wild passionate kisses will I draw up from that bleeding mouth! I will strangle this pallid throat of mine on the sweet blood!
Adah was taking vicarious revenge on John Heenan. She was inspired by her friend Walt Whitman to venture into an unexplored psychic landscape, where she blended personal wrongs with the Jewish exile. Newell told his readers: "The lady is a Jewess, and almost insane in her eagerness to behold her people restored once more to their ancient power and glory. Her best poems have been founded on this vigorous sentiment."
Playing Prince Mazeppa–lashed in a state of undress to a supposedly wild steed climbing a stage mountain–Adah became a wartime hero. Her audiences were packed with soldiers on leave from the front. When not performing, she endured grisly scenes as she toured hospitals to cheer the wounded. Other actresses attempted her daredevil role but they were killed. Adah toured the country, performed on Broadway and in gold rush California, and everywhere she was wildly successful. She counted among her many admirers Charles Dickens and the foppish poet Algernon Swinburne. In Paris, La Menken held an elite salon and became friends with novelist George Sand. She had an affair with young King Charles of Württemberg, then took an improbable lover: corpy Alexandre Dumas, the elder. The great novelist showed Adah the bohemian side of Paris. After intimate photos of Adah and Alexandre got into the hands of an unscrupulous photographer, they were reproduced and sold in Paris, then in all the major capitals. Once again Adah's love life was the scandal du jour. Viewing the photos in New York, Mark Twain wrote, "Heaven help us, what desperate chances she takes on her reputation!
Injured from a fall while performing, suffering from tuberculosis, Adah played on until her strength was gone. By summer 1868 she was gravely ill and had given away the fortune she earned. She lingered in a small Parisian hotel. She had few visitors, but one was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who wrote her a love poem. On August 10, according to a journalist friend, "Menken died in possession of the Jewish faith, and was attended by a minister of [her] religion. However stormy her life may have been the end was peaceful and serene." She was able to follow the rabbi in Hebrew prayers. Adah's remains lie under a monument in the Jewish section of the cemetery at Montparnasse. The inscription reads: "Thou Knowest."
