This book contributes substantially to urban affairs and public
policy literature by presenting an introduction to the complex
politics and public policy issues of Washington, D.C. The
uniqueness of the city, as elaborated in this volume, provides
background for understanding the non-traditional congressional
relationship with the city and the way in which this establishes
and perpetuates the continuing fight for congressional
representation, real home rule and equitable federal benefits for
citizens of the District of Columbia. Usually becoming a mayor,
member of a city council, or agency head in a major city could
become a stepping stone to higher office. In Washington, D.C.
however, this has not been the case. Contests for political
leadership operate in a unique political climate because
Washington, D.C is the capital of the U.S., subject to
congressional oversight, has a majority African American
population, and has a majority Democratic population. Those who
become mayor are therefore, confined to play a local with rare
opportunities for a national role. One Objective of this volume is
to highlight the difficulties of experiencing political democracy
and adequate policy distribution by citizens of the District of
Columbia. These analyses conclude that one of the major obstacles
to these objectives is the manner in which home rule was
constructed and persists, leading to the conclusion that the desire
of citizens and their leaders for change is well founded.

Impassioned civil rights activist, champion of women's rights,
hard-driving legislator -- U.S. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
is known in Washington as the "Warrior on the Hill." "Fire in My
Soul" is the story of Norton's extraordinary political career, told
from a personal perspective.
Author Joan Steinau Lester met Norton in 1958 while they were
both students at Antioch College. "Fire in My Soul" charts their
longstanding friendship and tells of Norton's rise to leadership --
from her early on-campus activism to demanding a Senate hearing for
Anita Hill to standing before the Supreme Court to uphold first
amendment rights. Filled with scores of Lester's conversations and
correspondence with Norton, interviews with Norton's colleagues and
confidantes, and dozens of original photographs, "Fire in My Soul"
is a compelling biography of one of the greatest political pioneers
in American history.
Hector Berlioz (1803-69) was one of the most original and colourful
composers of his generation whose music was in many ways ahead of
its time. He was also a respected journalist and critic. Begun in
1848, his celebrated Memoires were completed by 1865 but published
posthumously in 1870. They are the best-known of his writings and
reflect the man - passionate, imaginative, idealistic, opinionated
and witty - and give a fascinating, first-hand, insight into his
life. He shares his uncompromising thoughts on his contemporaries
and the musical establishment in France, writes candidly about his
love affairs and engagingly on his music and travels. This first
English translation from the original French, published in 1884,
will appeal to the music lover and the general reader. Volume 1
(1803-41) includes his childhood in the Isere, studies in Paris,
struggles to establish himself and travels in Italy during 1831-2.
