The dramatic original account of events that shook the nation. At noon on May 4, 1970, a thirteen-second burst of gunfire transformed the campus of Kent State University into a national nightmare. National Guard bullets killed four students and wounded nine. By nightfall the campus was evacuated and the school was closed. A generation of college students said they had lost all hope for the System and the future. How did it happen that young Americans in battle helmets, gas masks, and combat boots confronted other young Americans wearing bell-bottom trousers, flowered shirts, and shoulder-length hair? What were the issues and why did the confrontation escalate so terribly? Would there be future confrontations like the one of May 4? To answer these questions, prize-winning reporters Eszterhas and Roberts, who were on campus on May 4, spent weeks interviewing all the participants in the tragedy. They traveled to victims' homes and talked to relatives and friends; they spoke to National Guardsmen on the firing line and to students who were fired on. By putting together hundreds of first-person accounts they were able to establish for the first time what actually took place on the day of the shooting.

"Dylan's Big Surprise at the Doctor" chronicles the thought process of a precocious little boy named Dylan who was terribly afraid of going to the doctor to get shots. This book highlights the fear that most little boys and girls have about the experience of having to go to the doctor to get shots. It also helps to emphasize the importance of nurses in healthcare and the pivotal role that they play in the lives of those they provide care for. My hopes are that the characters in this book will make a difference in the lives of all children who are nervous about visits to the doctor.

Eszterhas, Joseph Anthony was born on November 23, 1944 in Csakanydoroszlo, Hungary. Son of Stephen George and Maria Anna (Biro) Eszterhas.
After coming to the USA as a child, and graduating from Ohio State, he became a journalist at the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He was bold and controversial: on one story he interviewed children without their parents’ permission so that the paper lost an inva- sion-of-privaey suit. He went on to Rolling Stone and wrote two books: Thirteen Seconds: Confrontation at Kent State (1970) and Charley Simpson’s Apocalypse (1974), which won the National Book Award.
Bv the late seventies, he was doing screenplays: F.I.S.T. (78, Norman Jewison) was his debut, and it shows a valiant attempt to handle difficult material. But as time went by and Eszterhas became more successful, so his “working class” awareness became bowdlerized—especially in Flashdance (83, Adrian Lyne)—and he fell into a pattern of implausibility, self-repetition, and an almost unconscious interest in forms of betrayal: Jogged Edge (85, Richard Marquand), an effective thriller; Hearts of Fire (87, Marquand); Pals (87, Lou Antonio); Big Shots (87, Robert Mandel); the singularly unbelievable Betrayed (88, Costa-Gavras); Checking Out (89, David Leland); and the touching if predictable Music Box (89, Costa-Gavras).
Eszterhas is a useful combination of old-fashioned technique and modern shock value, as witness Basic Instinct (92, Paul Verhoeven). Nothing in that film is as shocking as the writer’s $3 million fee, but Basic Instinct, in title, marketing, and spurious sensation is a very characteristic American film of its moment, at the same time nasty and irrelevant. As the film was shot, Eszterhas made something of a spectacle of himself by discovering that his script might be hostile to the gay community. He asked the producers to be allowed to do rewrites, and they couldn't believe he was serious.
Eszterhas has a dangerous rhinolike sincerity allied to the guile of a fox. All of this was evident in his most enjoyable paperwork: the widely distributed fax copies of letters between himself
and Michael Ovitz when Eszterhas elected to leave CAA. Joe’s account of how Ovitz had responded is as concise a portrait of idealism and betrayal in Hollywood as one will find—but the reader has to decide which is which.
He also wrote the script for Sliver (93, Phillip Noyce); Showgirls (95, Verhoeven); Jade (95, William Friedkin); Telling Lies in America (97, Guy Ferland); An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (99, Arthur Hiller). And you can’t make five films so bad without hearing the air go out of your balloon—and worrying whether it smells. In addition, |oe divorced one wife and married another on the way to stagnation. It was enough to encourage the thought that his brief notoriety had been just a spasm in midlife crisis. It also urged him toward Art, and his first, defining novel, American Rhapsody (00).
