A comprehensive exposition of the Kaplan-Sheinwold bidding system, incorporating up-to-date aggressive methods. Advantages of this Aggressive Weak No Trump bidding system include: (1) A greater proportion of limit bids and a higher frequency of bids in general, improving communication between partners. (2) More accurate low-level descriptive bids, making it easier during the auction to envision the probable play of the hand and to find your best contract. (3) Increased use of preempts, making it more difficult for the opponents to find their best possible result in a competitive auction.

(God, Evil, and Ethics presents the basic elements of the ...)
God, Evil, and Ethics presents the basic elements of the philosophy of religion tradition in a new and provocative way. The author’s original philosophical narrative is interspersed with rich selections from Plato, Boethius, Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, Pascal, Descartes, Paley, Leibniz, Hume, Hegel, Kant, Mill, Stephen, Royce, James, and Clifford. Included are Plato’s complete Phaedo and Euthyphro, Hume’s complete essays "Of Miracles" and "On Suicide," several other unabridged works, and many excerpted pieces. The history and concepts of philosophy of religion emerge more clearly through this integration and interrelation of classical texts with modern summary and interpretation. The aim of God, Evil, and Ethics is to bring together as much important material as possible, as logically as possible, in as few pages as possible for high-quality "one-stop shopping" at a reasonable cost. It is appropriate for students in four-year college, junior college, community college, upper-level prep school, and post-graduate non-credit enrichment courses in the philosophy of religion, as well as for the intelligent general reader.

The purpose of Die at the Right Time! is not to memorialize yesterday, but to inspire today and tomorrow. If it helps any present or future leftists, war resisters, or young visionaries to avoid past mistakes or to improve on past successes, then it will have achieved this purpose.
