This is an easy reading parenting book filled with terrific tips that made sense AND resolved behavioral challenges. We had great results within a week because the kids loved playing The Behavior Game.

Dr. Paula Bender's Book teaches parents how to deal with common, and often annoying, teenage problems. "How to Keep Your Teenager from Driving You Crazy" is easy to read and written in everyday language, not professional jargon. Any parent who reads this book will come away with a blueprint for raising a responsible teenager. Parents will learn how to talk to their teen and how to set limits that work. However, Dr. Bender's book doesn't offer a superficial quick fix. Using the strategies she recommends takes time and commitment, but the results are definitely worth the effort. I highly recommend this book.

Stone and Duke have an excellent style of writing. They make you feel as if you are sitting with them around a comfortable table having a late evening discussion over a hot cup of coffee. Their real world examples bring their theological concepts into crystal clear focus and assists the reader in transforming external theological principles into interalized spiritual practices

Dore Levy writes, "The Story of the Stone has the popular appeal of Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, The critical praise of James Joyce's Ulysses and is twice the length of both combined." Read The Story of the Stone and read Levy's masterful and entertaining survey.

I.f Stone writes a contemporary acount of the begining of the vietnam war. He also tells us what kennedy did wrong during the cuban missile crisis.

I. F. Stone seemed to take it personally whenever any part of the globe was under consideration for being sent back to a new Stone Age by modern weaponry. Regarding proposals for more relentless pursuit of American policy in Vietnam on January 20, 1966, he wrote, "But this tough old troglodyte is not through yet. The whole air force drive in Vietnam is to transform a war we can't win to a war we might; from a war for the loyalties of the Vietnamese people into a war to destroy them; this is giving the obsolete B-52 its last murderous gasp over South Vietnam's jungles and rice paddies." (p. 104) That was a long time ago, and Stone can hardly be blamed for failing to see that the situations which could make such activities popular would fail to end in his own time. He had some grasp of history, but hardly could tell that we were all heading for catastrophes in which being unable to relate would be the new norm.

Torment is the key word in the title. The 1960s were years which were my golden age for understanding the geopolitical situation, because I was young enough to appreciate political views without regard for who was making money or controlling the means of production. I. F. Stone was astute enough to make his own economic criticism count in such times, even in the unlikely context of a review of the life of General Curtis LeMay, "after a lifetime of bomber command, as he told it to the writer of his story, MacKinley Kantor." (p. 92):

His nearest approach to an unfriendly remark about the capitalist system is an angry comment in his account of how the Air Corps flew the mails in 1934 under Roosevelt. "The public bought the idea (and still retains it)," he comments sourly, "that scores of Air Corps pilots lost their lives in an heroic but absurd attempt to emulate the superb performance of the commercial airlines." It is only in the bitterness of his feud with McNamara, that he allows himself to reflect by implication on the Business Man. . . .(p. 93).

Much as such disputes might have mattered in the Department of Defense, I. F. Stone was independent enough, in his own paper, to have his own approach: "The military-industrial complex never had an officer more loyally blinkered." (p. 94). These were merely preliminary matters to be gotten out of the way before discussing the forms of torment which were to be most closely associated with General Curtis LeMay in the tasks which he had willingly attempted to accomplish. The point at which I feel that I learned the most from I. F. Stone was in finding an intellectual foundation for this kind of torment in "the doctrine of the Prussian military writers of the nineteenth century." (pp. 96-7). It was an approach adopted by Hindenburg in Poland, early in World War I, on November 20, 1914, when he wrote, "Lotz is starving. That is deplorable, but it ought to be so. The more pitiless the conduct of the war the more humane it is in reality, for it will run its course all the sooner." (p. 97). The statement was only a little more than fifty years old when Stone quoted it. The amazing thing about this book is how Stone always manages to avoid being so pitiless.
