( The colony world of Stittara is no ordinary planet. For...)
The colony world of Stittara is no ordinary planet. For the interstellar Unity of the Ceylesian Arm, Stittara is the primary source of anagathics: drugs that have more than doubled the human life span. But the ecological balance that makes anagathics possible on Stittara is fragile, and the Unity government has a vital interest in making sure the flow of longevity drugs remains uninterrupted, even if it means uprooting the human settlements. Offered the job of assessing the ecological impact of the human presence on Stittara, freelance consultant Dr. Paulo Verano jumps at the chance to escape the ruin of his personal life. He gets far more than he bargained for: Stittara's atmosphere is populated with skytubes--gigantic, mysterious airborne organisms that drift like clouds above the surface of the planet. Their exact nature has eluded humanity for centuries, but Verano believes his conclusions about Stittara may hinge on understanding the skytubes' role in the planet's ecology--if he survives the hurricane winds, distrustful settlers, and secret agendas that impede his investigation at every turn. The One-Eyed Man is a thrilling new far-future science fiction novel from New York Times bestseller L. E. Modesitt, Jr.

( In the 1960s when the Supreme Court rules that African ...)
In the 1960s when the Supreme Court rules that African Americans must be admitted to the university in an unnamed Southern state, Governor Cullie Blanton is about to run for re-election. One of his opponents is Bayonet Bill” Wooster, an ex-marine general who bases his campaign on fear of racial integration, fear of Communists, and fear of the federal government; he presents himself as the leader in a holy war against the incumbent infidel. The other candidate is Poppa Posey, a former governor who raises hound dogs, quotes Shakespeare, and hopes to use Wooster’s money to split support for Blanton. Only Blanton understands that integration is inevitable and that his task must be to make the transition as painless and bloodless as possible. That he fails may be due in part to his freewheeling, power-driven personality. But Blanton is also defeated by inertia, tradition, and demagoguery. He is, as he once describes himself, someone who just got in the way of goddamn history.” Is the state Texas and the governor Lyndon B. Johnson? King denies it, arguing that there are equal parts of Huey Long, Herman Talmadge, and Alfalfa Bill Murray. But, as Erisman says in his foreword, Blanton, in his wheeling and dealing, his crudities and profanity, his ruthlessness and his compassion, is a dead-on portrait of LBJ in full cry.” The One-Eyed Man presents a hauntingly clear picture of the 1960s in the Souththe national grief over the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the racial turmoil, the human dilemma faced by North and South alike. And it poses haunting questions for the reader: what separates the demagogue from the leader? What injustices are acceptable in the name of a larger justice? Who determines the greatest good for the greatest number?

( “What historians may perhaps find most useful in [Baker...)
“What historians may perhaps find most useful in [Baker’s] book is his characterization of the two men he served most intimately—Lyndon Johnson and Robert Kerr. The portrait of Mr. Johnson is pungent, complete with a plausible reconstruction of the great Texan’s earthy table talk.” —Arthur Schlesinger, New York Times Book Review Bobby Baker was a small-town southern boy when he arrived in Washington in 1943, but he had a sure sense of political clout. He soon knew which senator wanted what done—almost before the senator knew himself. Senator Robert Kerr was the first instrument of Bobby Baker’s rise. He found an even more powerful sponsor in Lyndon Johnson, and he rose with Johnson until no doors were closed to him. He tells here a unique insider’s story of the always fascinating ways of power in the Congress of the United States.

( Willie Morris, the famously talented—and complex—writer...)
Willie Morris, the famously talented—and complex—writer and editor, helped to remake American journalism and wrote more than a dozen books, with several classics among them. His time at the head of Harper's magazine, where he was made editor at age thirty-two, is legendary. With writers like David Halberstam, Norman Mailer, and author of this book, Larry L. King, Harper's became the magazine to read and the place to be in print.Morris was friend, colleague, or mentor to a remarkable cast of writers— William Styron, James Jones, Truman Capote, George Plimpton, Gay Talese, and later in life, Barry Hannah, Donna Tartt, John Grisham, and Winston Groom. In Search of Willie Morris is a wise, sometimes raucous, and moving look at Morris that conveys the energy and activity of the years at the top and the troubles, talents, late rallies, and mysteries of his later life. Written with the affection of a close friend and the critical insight of a fellow writer, it is an absorbing biography of an extraordinarily gifted literary man and raconteur who inspired both wonder and frustration, and who left behind a legacy and a body of work that endures.

In a play that is realistic, sometimes humorous, and always profoundly moving, Larry L. King deals with the problems of aging and our mistaken stereotypes and impersonal treatment of the elderly. Cowboy Bennett, long a resident of the Golden Shadows Senior Citizens Home, is a man with not only memories of the past but also dreams of the future for himself and his companionsespecially the charming widow, Flora Harper. At the play’s end, you'll want to stand and yell, Ya! Ya!” with Cowboy. The Golden Shadows Old West Museum is based on Michael Blackman’s short story, which was named the Best Short Fiction of 1973 by the Texas Institute of Letters. The text of the short story is included in this edition.

(Since its founding in 1851 by Republican Henry Jarvis Ray...)
Since its founding in 1851 by Republican Henry Jarvis Raymond, The NY Times has been a big player in shaping public opinion. But it was not until 1896 that the Times took a turn to the internationalist Left when it was purchased by a German-Jew named Adolph Ochs. In 1897, Ochs himself would coin the paper's now famous self-serving slogan, printed on its masthead every day ever since: "All the News That’s Fit to Print”. Ochs’ daughter married Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who became publisher when Adolph died. Ochs’ great grandson Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. is the publisher of the NY Times today. So, for 1.2 centuries, America’s most influential propaganda sheet has been in the hands of the same Zionist-Marxist family. Count on The Times to promote big government, Globalism, phony environmentalism, Israel, the Fed, and endless wars. Just how powerful is what your fighting author likes to refer to “Sulzberger’s Slimes”? The erudite writer Gore Vidal may have been a morally degenerate sodomite who was wrong about many things, but his reference to the Slimes as “the Typhoid Mary of American journalism” was as spot-on as it was witty. One need only glance at the morning headlines of “the paper of record”, and then take note of how the superficial infomercials known as “the Nightly News” will so often pick up on whatever front page fairy-tale that the Manhattan Mendacity Machine spun that very same morning. Like some journalistic plague; the virus of lies, half-truths and cherry-picked data then infects the unguarded minds of the whole country, and indeed, the world. Such is the indisputable power and undeserved “prestige” of this dreadful “Orwellian” institution. The Anti-New York Times was originally established as, and still is, a pay-to-view daily sub-page of TomatoBubble.com. Beginning in 2015, the collected rebuttals to the Slimes’ Spin were published in Quarterly book format – which you now hold in your hands. To best understand the bare-knuckled and often humorous rebuttals, it is recommended that readers also purchase and study, Planet Rothschild: The Forbidden History of the New World Order. That will give you a firm grounding in REAL history while The Anti-New York Times informs you of the contemporary world which had grown out of that tragic history. When gathered in one place, the rebuttals expose The Slimes as a deceitful naked Emperor. If the Slimes is the disease of deception, let The Anti-New York Times be your antidote of truth.
