A collection of comedic and dramatic monologues with 50 monologues
for guys and 50 monologues for girls.
The U.S. Senate is so sharply polarized along partisan and
ideological lines today that it’s easy to believe it was always
this way. But in the turbulent 1960s, even as battles over civil
rights and the war in Vietnam dominated American politics,
bipartisanship often prevailed. One key reason: two remarkable
leaders who remain giants of the Senate—Republican leader Everett
Dirksen of Illinois and Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of
Montana, the longest-serving majority leader in Senate history, so
revered for his integrity, fairness, and modesty that the late
Washington Post reporter David Broder called him “the greatest
American I ever met.” The political and personal relationship of
these party leaders, extraordinary by today’s standards, is the
lens through which Marc C. Johnson examines the Senate in that
tumultuous time. Working together, with the Democrat often ceding
public leadership to his Republican counterpart, Mansfield and
Dirksen passed landmark civil rights and voting rights legislation,
created Medicare, and helped bring about a foundational nuclear
arms limitation treaty. The two leaders could not have been more
different in personality and style: Mansfield, a laconic,
soft-spoken, almost shy college history professor, and Dirksen, an
aspiring actor known for his flamboyance and sense of humor, dubbed
the “Wizard of Ooze” by reporters. Drawing on extensive Senate
archives, Johnson explores the congressional careers of these
iconic leaders, their intimate relationships with Presidents John
F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, and their own close professional
friendship based on respect, candor, and mutual affection. A study
of politics but also an analysis of different approaches to
leadership, this is a portrait of a U.S. Senate that no longer
exists—one in which two leaders, while exercising partisan
political responsibilities, could still come together to pass
groundbreaking legislation—and a reminder of what is possible.

In this first book-length treatment of MELF, the authors assert
that MELF represents an important contribution to our understanding
of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), in that existing ELF research
has been limited to relatively low stakes communicative situations,
such as interactions in business, academia, internet blogging or
casual conversations. Medical contexts, in contrast, often
represent situations calling for exceptional communicative
precision and urgency. Providing both evidence from their own
research and analysis from (the limited number of) existing
studies, the authors offer a counterpoint to the optimism regarding
communicative success prevalent in ELF. The book proposes a
theoretical perspective on how the various features of healthcare
communication serve as important variables in shaping interaction
among speakers of ELF, further enlarging our understanding of this
emerging sub-field.
Sixteen-year-old Hamilton Dinger leads a charmed life. He's got the
grades for the top of the class, the abilities of a star athlete
and Tetris player, and the charisma to get away with anything.
Everything seems to be going along perfectly as he enters into
tenth grade at Apollo Central High School. Everything, that is,
until a meteor crashes into the city, releasing the Seven Deadly
Sinisters and their leader, Orpheus, from their celestial prison,
and awakening Hamilton's longtime dormant supernatural abilities.
Suddenly Hamilton finds himself reluctantly allied with his
self-declared mentor, Elysian, a changeling dragon, and Starry
Knight, a beautiful but dangerous warrior, as they seek to protect
the souls of Apollo City from the Sinisters and their evil
intentions. Can Hamilton give up his self-proclaimed entitlement to
happiness in order to follow the call of a duty he doesn't want?
More importantly, will he willingly sacrifice all he has to find
out the truth?
