Just 284 days after July 20, 1944, the earthly lives of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler both came to an abrupt end. If Stalingrad was the military turning point in the war for Germany, then July 20 was surely the societal. Hitler had promised a classless military and civilian Fatherland even before he became chancellor and he was about to complete the fulfillment of that promise. He had been covertly destroying the historic officer class in Germany long before Stalingrad, but the assassination attempt gave him the opportunity to accelerate the purge and include the nobility and civilian leaders who opposed him. Specific information about the coup attempt was a closely guarded secret at the time and its investigation was the Gestapo's number one priority even as the Russians approached Berlin. It is possible today to reliably reconstruct and connect important events and related biographies of the principle characters, coherently piecing together the post-July 20 history. It's the story of the disappearance of Germany's officer class, and for a time, its nobility and civilian leadership; all of which has become part of Hitler's other legacy.

Originally published under Donald Allen's classic Grey Fox Press imprint, Poems Retrieved is a substantial part of Frank O'Hara's oeuvre, containing over two hundred pages of previously unpublished poetry discovered after the publication of his posthumous Collected Poems in 1971. Featuring a new introduction by O'Hara expert and friend, poet and art critic Bill Berkson, Retrieved has been completely reformatted and is essential for any reader of twentieth century poetry. As Berkson writes, "The breadth of what Frank O'Hara took to be poetry is reflected in the many kinds of poems he wrote...Turning the pages of any of his collections, you wonder what he didn't turn his hand to, what variety of poem he left untried or didn't, in some cases, as if in passing, anticipate." Among the most significant post-war American poets, Frank O'Hara grew up in Grafton, Massachusetts, graduating from Harvard in 1950. After earning an MA at the University of Michigan in 1951, O'Hara moved to New York, where he began working for the Museum of Modern Art and writing for Art News. By 1960, he was named the assistant curator of painting and sculpture exhibitions at MOMA. Along with John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler, and Barbara Guest, he is considered an original member of the New York School. Though he died in a tragic accident in 1966, recent references to O'Hara on TV shows like Mad Men or Thurston Moore's new record evidence our culture's continuing fascination with this innovative poet.

The Greatest American economic development stimulus policy to create prosperity and renewed growth and much needed jobs would be the abolishment of the current tax code in favor of a new hybrid flat and fair tax code. Holbrook demonstrates how this new tax code would be equitable and fair to all Americans. His argument is that with the elimination of personal taxes and a new three layer tax code built on the pay as we go principal of consumption taxes, corporate gross revenue taxes, coupled with excise, import and licensure fees the U.S. would have the lowest tax environment in the world with the greatest revenue. It would also balance the budget to current costs and all us to pay off our longterm national debt to become fiscally the envy of the world. This would create the greatest economic boom in United States recent history as companies would flock back to the United States for new investments and thus create much needed jobs for Americans

Foreword From start to finish "Where Did You Go, Gehazi?" by author Steve Price will remind you where the praises of men should be directed. You will journey with Gehazi, servant to Elisha, through his success and failures, and see how this story of redemption from Scripture parallels our own journey. Then you will find, as I did, the need to repent, because this book becomes more of a mirror upon our own misguided efforts than a window of judgment upon another's. Grab a box of tissues as you walk with these men and discover, as they did, who youare by realizing the place Christ deserves in your life. With this revelation the opulence of king's palaces and even the moments of miracles will pale in comparison to this reminder that we were all created and gifted to glorify God. --Don C. Allen, PhD Senior Pastor, The Church @ War Hill
