Janus (play)
''Janus'' is a 1955 romantic comedy play by Carolyn Green. Synopsis The action concerns two people, Jessica and Denny (married, but not to each other), who get together in New York for a couple of months each year, to engage romantically and also to write a novel each year, which novels (published under the pen name "Janus") are regularly best-sellers. Jessica's husband (a shipping tycoon) turns up for a surprise visit, and complications ensue, including a dogged taxman who is after Denny for false tax filings – specifically, not claiming enough deductions. The taxman proves that the shipping tycoon owes enormous taxes on his wife's earnings, and so for their financial well being – and since Jessica is so charming about it all – he accepts the arrangement, and all ends well. Background ''Janus'' was produced on Broadway for the 1955-1956 season, at the Plymouth Theatre. The play opened on November 25, 1955 and closed on June 30, 1956, after 251 performances.

People From Tiel
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Boarding School
A boarding school is a school where pupils live within premises while being given formal instruction. The word "boarding" is used in the sense of "room and board", i.e. lodging and meals. As they have existed for many centuries, and now extend across many countries, their functioning, codes of conduct and ethos vary greatly. Children in boarding schools study and live during the school year with their fellow students and possibly teachers or administrators. Some boarding schools also have day students who attend the institution by day and return off-campus to their families in the evenings. Boarding school pupils are typically referred to as "boarders". Children may be sent for one year to twelve years or more in boarding school, until the age of eighteen. There are several types of boarders depending on the intervals at which they visit their family. Full-term boarders visit their homes at the end of an academic year, semester boarders visit their homes at the end of an acade ...
