While over the past four hundred years numerous opinions have been
voiced as to Shakespeare's identity, these eleven essays widen the
scope of the investigation by regarding Shakespeare, his world, and
his works in their interaction with one another. Instead of
restricting the search for bits and pieces of evidence from his
works that seem to match what he may have experienced, these essays
focus on the contemporary milieu-political developments, social and
theater history, and cultural and religious pressures-as well as
the domestic conditions within Shakespeare's family that shaped his
personality and are featured in his works. The authors of these
essays, employing the tenets of critical theory and practice as
well as intuitive and informed insight, endeavor to look behind the
masks, thus challenging the reader to adjudicate among the
possible, the probable, the likely, and the unlikely. With the
exception of the editor's own piece on Hamlet, Shakespeare the Man:
New Decipherings presents previously unpublished essays, inviting
the reader to embark upon an intellectual adventure into the
fascinating terrain of Shakespeare's mind and art.

Changing social values, skepticism of corporate behavior, and
regulation are forcing firms to recognize the impact of these
issues on potential success. Political and social action can impact
dramatically on individual firms and industry-wide competitiveness
by changing the rules by which competition occurs. In addition,
policies that restrict trade in the international arena, regulatory
interventions that impose additional costs, and public interest
group activities that challenge the legitimacy of the firm and
industry product and service offerings also alter the rules of
competition. Firms and industries that learn to play by the new
rules of engagement can significantly improve their competitive
positioning within the economy. There has been almost nothing
written on the topic of industry political strategy. As competition
moves increasingly to a global scene, the businesses will have to
deal with more complex social and political interactions.
Business academicians and business managers have become more
interested in the impact of social and political issues on success.
Until this work, there has been a lack of models of how to deal
with the general issue. In addition, formulations of strategies and
tactics have been lacking before this work along with the means of
their implementation.
Formed in 1851 by Irish immigrants, the Fighting Sixty-Ninth has
served with distinction since the Civil War. The regiment's
flagstaff boasts 23 streamers (for each campaign) and 62 silver
battle rings (for each battle), more than any other regiment in the
United States Army at the close of World War II. Initially known as
69th New York State Militia (and seeing action under that name at
the Battle of Bull Run), the regiment later ""cadred"" the 69th New
York Volunteers. This is a complete illustrated history of the
regiment's service in the Irish Brigade and the Rainbow Division.
Functioning as the 1st Regiment, Irish Brigade, 2nd Corps, Army of
the Potomac throughout the Civil War, the regiment made history at
Malvern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Spotsylvania,
Cold Harbor, Petersburg and Appomatox. Confederate generals Lee
christened them the ""Fighting Sixty-Ninth"". According to legend,
an exasperated General Jackson (who rarely cursed) recognized them
as part of ""that damn brigade"". Functioning as the 165th
Infantry, 42nd Division (Rainbow Division) throughout World War I,
the regiment helped turn back the last German offensive,
counterattacked at the Ourq river, spearheaded one of Pershing's
pincer at St. Mihiel, and helped break the Hindenburg Line in the
Argonne Forest. Today, the regiment is known as 1st Battalion, 69th
Infantry (Mechanized), New York Army National Guard.
