This tells how the rulers and politicians of 1916 San Francisco tried to legally murder Tom Mooney and Warren Billings for a crime they didn't commit. Every scrap of testimony by the prosecution was perjured! The verdict caused worldwide protest demonstrations. Both men were freed after twenty years in prison.

Preparedness Day parades that year were business sponsored, pro-Republican party, anti-Wilson, and anti-labor. It could mean the European War, the Invasion of Mexico, or an attack on Democrats, Progressives, organized Labor, Socialists, pacifists, or supporters of President Wilson (p.12). The parade went on with unaccustomed silence from the crowd. At 2:06PM the bomb went off, killing 10 people and wounding may others; over forty were hospitalized. Glass from broken windows fell on the people below. When DA Fickert arrived, he used a sledge hammer and crowbar to create more damage! Photographs on page 28. Five people were arrested for this crime, when there were no warrants and no evidence to connect them to it.

Thomas Jeremiah Mooney's father was a coal miner and union organizer. His early death left the family poor, and they moved to Massachusetts where they had relatives. Tom became involved in union activities (p.34). The Panic of 1907 saw him travelling to find work across the country. He found work in Stockton, and joined the Socialist Party. Salesman Mooney went out to sell pamphlets rather than wait for customers to call. Tom became a militant organizer for industrial unionism. He then joined the IWW and its "direct action". Tom often criticized the union leaders as much as corporate employers; he made enemies of those who should be allies.

The early life of Warren Knox Billings saw him moving from job to job. One of his jobs was at a struck factory, where he sabotaged the work (p.54). He then became part of the Mooney family. Page 60 explains how the frame-up racket worked. Tom seems to have had too much arrogance and pride. Page 66 tells how the president of United Railroad looted the company of millions, not unlike today's scandals. Tom tried to organize a union there but failed. Page 70 tells of another attempted frame-up: they hired a look-alike to carry suitcases to where bombs would be set off!

This book is important as it documents prosecutorial tricks repeated at other political trials. Single, double, and triple agents do not occur only in wartime! Part One is their personal history. Part Two is about the trial. Part Three is about the efforts to free them. Part Four tells of their release. The appendix discusses the solutions to the crime. Henry Landau's "The Enemy Within" tells of German espionage in America during that time. His "Secrets of The White Lady" tells of his intelligence work in occupied Belgium and France.

This is my first book by Linda Conrad and it will definitely not be my last for I enjoyed this book very much. The hero is a sexy Native American that even I, as a reader, became captivated by his dark eyes. What a picture the author created with this hero! Abby and Gray's story is wonderfully written, with passion, romance and the right spark of danger. For lovers of Native American romance....this one is awesome!

Having read the two previous books in the "Gentrys" series I was really excited to read "Cal"! This is a story which will keep you glued to the pages from cover to cover. Ms Conrad has brought the elements of danger and love on a West Texas ranch to life in a sizzler which is tender, touching and erotic.

She has brought the family's story to a satisfying and suprising conclusion in this volume.

My only regret is that I have to leave the Gentry's ranch..... I have really grown to love the place!

The book was extremely good, I couldn't remember it all so I carried it around with me when I went to buy my stuff.

Ffiona Swabey's "The Medieval Gentlewoman" is a terrific book for anyone interested in what life was like for the gentry in late 14th/early 15th century England. Her book is written based on household accounts and records from Acton Manor, the estate of Dame Alice Bryene, a widow in her 50s in the period the book covers. Ms. Swabey analyzes the data from the household accounts to give us a vivid picture of Dame Alice's life and the world in which she lived and conducted business. Despite the fact that it is heavy with primary documentation, this book is not at all dry. Ms. Swabey manages to tell us a story while retaining the accuracy that we historical reenactors desire.

I found this book while doing research for a paper, and I found it to be the most useful resource of all. It has a lot of great information, and it's very understandable. I highly recommend it to other college students and to anyone who is interested in archaeology or anthropology.

What a story. Cheyenne Warrior & Kentucky Cowboy both love a Texas girl, who's posing as a boy to ride for the pony express. Cheyenne Brave takes Texas girl hostage, which Torments Kentucky Cowboy. Real Historical battles are the backdrop for this war to win her heart. The ending of this book is exciting, but what is possible becomes reality in the next book, Apache Caress, as an underlying plot. Your just so happy to hear more of this story, like they are friends you have not heard from in a long time.

For many people, the on-line search often end-up with frustration. The abundance of information posting everyday on the Internet, sometimes makes us difficult to find the exact information we want. So, bid farewell to the futile and frustrating web excursions. Whether you're looking for vital information or just want to know a place to hang out and kill a little time, this book helps you get where you want to go. It will be a wonderful value to many readers. I strongly recommend it.

Review of Anita Gentry's Night Summons Reviewed by Charles T. Tart IONS Senior Research Fellow Gentry, Anita. Night Summons. New York: St. Martin's Press. ISBN 0-312-14691-4. Hardcover, $ 22.95. Most IONS members have run into heated and irrational op-position to some of our ideas about the wonderful possibilities we have as humans, and the research that is starting to support this wider view. The strength of such opposition, unfortunately, usually seems inversely proportional to the person's knowledge, i.e., the stronger the criticism, the less the person actually knows about what they are opposing. As an investigator of a number of human potential areas, I have personally run into this discouraging kind of opposition more times than I would like to remember. I've never been easily dis-couraged, though. Even the trials of life have their good sides, though, and I would like to tell you about an enjoyable outcome of this situation. If you want to read a good thriller, read the just published novel, Night Summons, by Anita Gentry. It's about a handsome parapsychologist at a major university who gets a lot of flak from narrow-minded psychologists in his university department. It's quite a good mystery and action novel, as well as dealing with many issues of interest to IONS members. One of the chief characters is Athena Dawes, a detective-in-training who temporarily takes a job as a secretary in a psychology department to discover why Suzie, a friend of hers who had worked there was beaten and almost killed. Dawes is amazed by the gossip and plotting against Professor and parapsychologist Laszlo Hon-vagy that she overhears. Of course the fact that the author, Anita Gentry, worked as a secretary in my department at UC Davis for a while must be just a coincidence.... Night Summons is presented as a work of fiction, and my colleagues never actually hired a hit man to get rid of me - that I know of. And if I seem to recognize some of the characters in the novel I'm sure that's just projection on my part.... All coincidence, except for (if you'll allow me one small projection) the handsome part ...... Enjoy this story, and tell your friends about it. This is a very good first novel. As to the serious part, my blurb on the cover reads "I had trouble putting Night Summons down -- the action was so intriguing and full of surprises. It's fiction, of course, but I had to say, sadly, the Gentry's depiction of narrow-mindedness about parapsychology among professors, who we expect to be well-informed and open-minded, is too often too true."

It is a nice book reweing the basic aspects of the personality found in hypertensive patients. If the physician get acquainted how is the personality of the hypertensive patient, he could try to treat hypertension, not only using medication, but also psychotherapy
