"This is a 'must read' for anyone with an interest in the Kennedy
assassination, its impact on the American political system, and the
controversies that surrounded it then."-Midwest Book Review
(Oregon, WI) "Reading the words of this infamous man is more
illuminating than a dozen volumes of analysis of his character.
This book fills a definite niche in American history and is long
overdue Holloway uses professionalism and competent knowledge of
history to create an engaging biography of an enigmatic man."-
Morgan Ann Adams, Charlotte Austin Review. "A breath of fresh air
in the JFK assassination literature."- Judge Robert Finn, former
FBI agent. Lee Harvey Oswald, accused assassin of President John
Kennedy, has remained a mystery for 45 years. Using Oswald's
letters, speeches, radio interviews, brief autobiography,
job/college applications, diary, book about Russia, and words
according to those who knew him, the editor has fashioned his
autobiography from childhood to death. Jack Ruby's testimony and
lie detector test are included for readers to learn his motivation
in killing Oswald. New materials such as papers given to President
Clinton by Premier Boris Yeltsin and documents found in 2008 in the
Dallas safe of District Attorney Henry Wade are included.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita created the most expensive disaster,
the largest evacuation, and the third deadliest flood in American
history.
Nobody can control Mother Nature but the world's most advanced
nation could have protected its citizens better. This disaster
revealed the faulty psychological reactions of officials who not
only failed to protect the public from danger in New Orleans, but
lacked effective responses to the calamity. We elect and hire
people who are supposed to protect us from attacks by nature and
enemies. However, they fail us because of their human nature. They
are as imperfect as we are, but we expect them to collect and heed
facts that we cannot know, to prepare for predictable disasters,
and to focus on long-term solutions rather than short-term
fixes.
Engaged in popularity contests, politicians and officials at all
levels did too little about obvious problems. The ugly picture of
poor and mainly black flood victims jolted us with poverty, racism,
and segregation. Leaders must not wait to improve flood protection,
racial inequities, a deteriorating healthcare system, dwindling
resources, and climatic changes until crises occur. This costly
disaster should awaken us to re-examine and change our methods of
selecting politicians and leaders.
"We must change our current leadership by the President,
captains of industry, leaders of government, law enforcement,
healthcare, and the media. We are inundated with self-serving
behaviors from those who loot and shoot to those in power who cast
aspersions and dodge blame." Ken Jacuzzi, business coach/consultant
and author.
No one knows more about classroom humor than a teacher (unless it's
a student). If teachers hope to survive, they better have a sense
of humor. Nobody knows more about the quirky behavior of some
teachers than administrators and vice versa. The origin is laid
clear of the phrase "Those who can, do; and those who can't do,
teach."
