Her short chapters deal with practical applications of the Golden Rule in situations at work, at home, at school, and in our daily lives. The lessons apply to young people, old people and those in between.

"Treat your siblings as you would like them to treat you," is one example from the section of family life. Another: "Treat your parents as you hope your children will one day treat you."

At work, "Be the kind of supervisor you want to have," she suggests. And, "Work as you would like others to."

Other examples include:

"Be the kind of customer you would like to deal with....Drive the way you want others to drive...Be the good sport you would like your opponents to be...Be the kind of host you would like to visit....Treat people in mourning the way you want to be treated."!

Each principle is followed by a page of practical suggestions for how to put it into action.

Some version of what we know as the Golden Rule exists in most religions. It is as good a rule for human behavior as anyone has ever come up with, and the world would be a much better place if each of us could learn to put it into practice in all that we do.

"We have committed the Gold Rule to memory," said Edwin Markham. "Let us now commit it to life."

Jane Gallant's excellent, approachable book shows how we can do just that. It would be an appropriate gift to anyone, but especially to young people.

And it is this kind of message that reminds me that we have a ways to go in race relations.

This book is a collection of stories from famous women, both white and black, about their experiences with race.

While every chapter had me deeply moved, I must say that the chapter titled, "Contents Under Pressure: White Woman/Black History," by Catherine Clinton, was the most moving.

This is a story about a white woman who teaches African-American History.

This is, a reverse discrimination story that has value for everyone to read. By her name, and her profession, she is assumed to be African-American. But she is Caucasian.

Her published work has led to many invitations to speak on race relations.

But, when they meet her, in person, and see that she is not African-American, things change.

And she had to put in a tremendous amount of time, to show that she is here to stay, despite the resistence of others.

In the end, this professor taught her students that the thickness of your skin, and not its color is a useful measure for success.

This is a professor whose mission lives on through her students.

I invite everyone male or female, of all races to read this book, as you think of yourself as a fly on the wall.

You will grow, beyond your wildest dreams.

The FF retreat to Knothole, and Sonic comes up with a plan. They have to distract the badniks. Princess Sally suggests they use Rotor's magnet to turn the walls into a supermagnet. Sonic grabs out all the art materials and says they need Bunnie's artistic talent. Robotnik had made a route for the machine, so they need to change it.

Later that day, Sonic, Sally, and Antione are pulling a chest of Golden Rings toward Robotropolis. Robotnik is about to take the rings when Rotor pops out of the chest and magnetizes the wall. Meanwhile, Tails is changing the Wall-Upper 3000's route until it falls off a cliff. (Sally and Antione snapped a picture of the WU3000 toppling.)

This book takes up right after the TV series ends. I can't wait until part 2 comes out!

262 pages may seem short and believe me there could have so much more, but what the author does within those pages is pure magic. Reading about what is was like to play along side the greats to winning World Series to having Joe DiMaggio spike you are but a few of the tales in this book.

Baseball comes to life and the players live again as Fehler has collected stories about what is was like to face Musial and Williams, how to avoid Mantle's bat and so many other great ones. As a true baseball fan, I found this book both entertaining and a delight to read and read again.

If you looking for a baseball book that gives the dirt on players this book is certainly not the one, but if you are looking for several hours of fun and enlightening then you can stop at your nearest book store and get yourself a copy.

Joe Kindig's _Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle_ is a major work, cataloguing as it does the exhaustive Kindig longrifle collection. Even now, thirty seven years after its initial publication, no other work in the field (with the possible exception of George Shumway's _Rifles of Colonial America_, in two volumes,) comes close to its breadth of analysis, or to the sheer number of splendid arms shown in fine B&W illustrations. Each of the several 18th century Pennsylvania gunmaking schools is anlayzed individually, with several rifles from that school presented and discussed.

The text is far from dry and analytical, however. It is alive with humor and anecdotes, and apart from being top-notch research (or very educated opinion where the facts are unknown as yet), is a joy to read in its own right.

Most likely the book will be bought for its illustrations, though, for as interesting as the text is, the book is splitting at the seams with hundreds of crisp black and white photogtraphs from the late Mr. Kindig's landmark rifle collection which he assembled over his long life. Virtually every phase of metamorphosis in the fascinating development of the American longrifle is shown in close detail, with textual analysis of each rifle answering questions and asking new ones as well.

It is difficult to imagine delving into this field of study and not owning _Thoughts on the Kentucky Rifle_. It is a vivid portrait of one of the great American artforms, and of a collection that may never again be altogether in the same place under the same owner, especially one as affectionate toward its subject as Joe Kindig.
