Lacking funds for a traditional journey, they devise a daring plan: sail to Boston, take a train to Iowa City, and then, with hand-built carts, embark on a grueling 1,300-mile trek to their promised land. Leading this audacious expedition is Edmund Lovell Ellsworth, chosen by the church’s president for his...

Set in Dodge City, Kansas, during the thriving cattle days of the 1870s, the Gunsmoke radio show was routinely called by radio drama enthusiasts “the best show of any kind and any time”. For nine years from 1952 to 1961, Gunsmoke dominated the airwaves as it portrayed the epic legend of the American West. The lead character of Marshall Matt Dillon, as played by William Conrad, was called the “Philip Marlowe of the Old West”. Besides Conrad, the superb supporting cast included Parley Baer as Chester, Howard McNear as Doc Adams, and Georgia Ellis as Miss Kitty.

He explains how astonishing historical luck led to the success of a plan first devised by a small group of activists to use college campuses to promote radical politics, and why laws and regulations designed to prevent the politicizing of higher education proved insufficient.

NEW REFORMAT FOR KINDLE I have had the opportunity to review and read THE THIN BLUE LIFELINE and I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This moves policing communication so far beyond "Verbal Judo" and "Tac Com" that those systems cannot even compare (though, to be sure, there are some similar techniques that they utilise in those systems). It is relevant, well-written, operationally-based, and goes to the heart of the matter in dealing with people who are in crisis - not just for dealing with "mentally ill" folks - but virtually everyone with whom police officers come into contact....

Il est inutile d'y aller par quatre chemins: la sexualité dirige le monde. Elle assure aux espèces d'avoir une descendance mais elle remplit des fonctions bien plus complexes chez les humains. Certains hommes se sentent diminués parce qu'ils n'arrivent pas à contenir leur excitation. Certaines femmes se croient anormales parce qu'elles sont incapables d'éprouver du plaisir et elles rougissent lorsqu'elles entendent les "histoires" de leurs copines.
