This eloquent discourse challenges readers to rethink old habits as it plants the seeds for a new America and a sustainable future. The authors believe that freedom-loving, individualistic Americans have an almost reflexive distaste for institutions. It is their central thesis that massive citizen participation in the large-scale institutions of the economy and government is crucial to solving such problems as poverty, inequality of wealth, environmental destruction, family isolation and lack of community. The authors draw on John Dewey, Walter Lippmann, Herbert Croly, and other thinkers in their scrutiny of American institutions--government, politics, the legal system, schools, the workplace, religion--amenable to citizen action. They envisage a democratized economy in which everyone who works has a stake in the enterprise they work in. ISBN 0-679-40098-2: $25.00.

It was to Lucania, a desolate land in southern Italy, that Carlo Levi?a doctor, painter, philosopher, and man of letters?was confined as a political prisoner because of his opposition to Italy?s Fascist government at the start of the Ethiopian war in 1935. While there, Levi reflected on the harsh landscape and its inhabitants, peasants who lived the same lives their ancestors had, constantly fearing black magic and the near presence of death. In so doing, Levi offered a starkly beautiful and moving account of a place and a people living outside the boundaries of progress and time.

Possibly one of the first books that proposed a major conspiracy behind Lincoln's assassination. His theory was that Stanton, LaFayette Baker, and Pinkerton all played major roles in the conspiracy and that all 3 aided and abetted Booth. According to Eisenschiml, Stanton was the main plotter, among Stanton's reasons were Lincoln's too forgiving attitude towards the South. While the book lacked hard evidence that would definitely incriminate Stanton there were, like the JFK assassination, an endless number of intriguing and suggestive coincidences and circumstantial evidence.
