Teenage girls are disappearing from this town where an idyllic beach community is terrorized, and where one reporter must get to the truth to protect her family. Trying to mix business with pleasure, KEY News correspondent Diane Mayfield has brought her children and her sister to the New Jersey shore town of Ocean Grove to investigate a story on "girls who cry wolf" for the season premiere of Hourglass, television's highly rated news magazine. Diane lands an exclusive interview with a troubled young woman whose tale of being abducted and held against her will for three terrifying days had been disbelieved by the authorities. No sooner does Diane finish taping the interview, though, than a second victim disappears. The small community, already in the grip of a record heat wave, is now wracked by fear and terror, no one knows who could be next. With only the first victim as eyewitness, Diane and the police turn to her for clues. But it may be too late to save Diane and her loved ones from the mortal danger that lurks in Ocean Grove.

The intent of this resource package is to disseminate and synthesize some critical existing knowledge concerning the ramifications of Stalin's so-called achievements. Neither definitive treatment nor closure of discussion are possible, given that fresh revelations of Stalin's crimes have been releaved since the breakup of the former Soviet Union in 1991. This package is not about how to conduct trials, however, it does attempt to provide semi-structured, factual raw materials that might be sufficient to a simulation effort for teachers who might be interested in a trial of J.V. Stalin. The package includes in the introduction some pedagogical suggestions for using materials in this document, 10 activity-modules which may require from one to four class periods and which can used in any order; 20 student reference sheets which provide data-bases for the lines of inquiry suggested in the activity-modules, and a bibliography.

This book includes the biographies of over 75 lesbians such as Sappho, Edna St. Vincent Millay, H. D., Colette, Queen Christina of Sweden and Amelia Earhart.
