Clearly the Easiest Text in Law School. The author explains the law and applies it. The facts of each case makes the rule of law easy to understand. It is important for the reader to keep track of the direction the cases are headed. Also keep track of "bright line" or "case by case" rules. The only supplement you need for this class is the current newspaper headline! Brief each case, and mind your facts!

Finally, a Power Pack book. I had searched far and wide but I was not able to find a book that could serve my needs for Mechanical Desktop. Then I found this Power Pack book and it is great. It has a friendly format and it will definately come in handy for the next class that I have to teach.

This UCLA professor's compilation of his radio essays is a welcome relief from higher education's usually pro-socialist dogma.

His applications of reason and economic logic to real-world issues will probably irritate most 'modern' anti-capitalists, amuse and entertain strong minded capitalists, and invoke some serious consideration and premise checking in those who straddle the fence.

This book has been informative in that I have learned a great deal about the political and militaristic problems Washington endured during America's push for independence. I have a feeling that, without Washington's sacrifice, America as we know it probably wouldn't occur. However, I also think of the famous quote attributed to Napoleon that "History is the myth men choose to believe." While Thomas Paine wrote about independence for the colonies, he also tore into the concept of slavery as immoral, so it wasn't as if no one was talking about this issue. If Washington would have "stepped up" and abolished slavery then and there, so that all men (and women) were truly created equal, as I said before, America might not be here. It was a politically divided and bankrupt country. I don't consider those reasons justification for sacrificing another person's human rights. The racial problems we face today stem from a lack of identity stolen from a stolen people

who did much of the work to build this country in its early days and, while the opprtunity was there, given nothing in return. "Patriot Sage" is an excellent insight into many aspects of Washington's life of which I was ignorant (like his influence on the Constitutional Convention) Sadly, some of its essays are too right-wing, to the point of Clinton bashing. What modern era president could really live up to the accomplishments of the one who defined the job's parameters ? One essay focuses on the moral symbolism of Washington now devoid in today's presidents, while another openly admits he gambled and sought prostitutes. To be read overall with some perspective.
