Outstanding Musical Revival In a Maine coastal village toward the
end of the 19th century, the swaggering, carefree carnival barker,
Billy Bigelow, captivates and marries the gentle millworker, Julie
Jordan. Billy loses his job just as he learns that Julie is
pregnant and, desperately intent upon providing a decent life for
his family, he is coerced into being an accomplice to a robbery.
Caught in the act and facing the certainty of prison, he takes his
own life and is sent 'up there.' Billy is allowed to return to
earth for one day fifteen years later, and he encounters the
daughter he never knew. She is a lonely, friendless teenager, her
father's reputation as a thief and bully having haunted her
throughout her young life. How Billy instills in both the child and
her mother a sense of hope and dignity is a dramatic testimony to
the power of love.

Liliom is a shiftless young bully in Budapest. He works
intermittently as a barker for a merry go round and many servant
girls fall victim to his charms. Among these girls is Julie, whom
he eventually marries. Learning that he is about to become a father
Liliom participates in a robbery to enhance his fortunes. But he is
caught and stabs himself rather than submit to arrest. He is tried
in the Magistrate's court on high, but they see through him there.
They know what repentance is in his heart though he is much too
cocky to admit it. He is sentenced to a term of years in the
purifying fires with the promise that after that sentence has been
served he can go back to earth with a chance to do one good deed
there. A tender and moving story told with a master's touch.

There is a great lesson for all women and men in this wonderful
story. It is one that will impress with its power. But I am glad to
say that I do not believe fully in its truth. The Devil here wins
his victory, as he has won many. But each year, as men and women
get better, the victories of Satan are fewer. Good men and good
women fight against evil and do not yield. This tragic, heart
breaking story, by the wonderful new writer, tells one side of the
battle between good and evil that goes on in every human heart. It
has its lesson for all men and women. It is a powerful warning
against playing with fire. Its lesson, taught in the downfall of
the man and woman, is 'Keep away from evil, and the appearance of
evil.'

This volume analyses the role of civil society in the reform and
oversight of the security sector in post- communist countries as a
key aspect of the transition towards democracy. It is widely
accepted that civil society actors have an important contribution
to make in the governance of the security sector. However, that
specific role has not been subject to much close or comparative
examination. This book constitutes an attempt to examine and
compare experiences of civil society participation in security
oversight across Central and Eastern Europe. The first part of the
volume presents the reader with the theoretical and conceptual
background against which the potential role of civil society in
security sector governance can be understood and assessed. The
remainder of the book is comprised of nine country studies of civil
society engagement with the security sector. Reviewing developments
over the past 15 years of regime transformation in the region, the
book draws upon a rich variety of cases that cast light on the
different experiences, challenges, and successes of civil society
actors and the media in democratization, security sector reform,
and the exercise of democratic oversight of the security
sector.
