The Love Machine
Author: Jacqueline Susann
Publisher: Tiger LLC
ISBN: 0996317813
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 686
Book Description
The spectacular bestseller from the author of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. In a time when steak, vodka, and Benzedrine were the three main staples of a healthy diet, when high-powered executives called each other “baby” and movie stars wore wigs to bed, network tycoons had a name for the TV set: they called it “the love machine.” But to supermodel Amanda, socialite Judith and journalist Maggie, “the love machine” meant something else: Robin Stone, “a TV-network titan around whom women flutter like so many moths…The novel deals with his rise and fall as he makes the international sex scene (orgying in London, transvestiting in Hamburg), drinks unlimited quantities and checks out the latest Nielsens.”—Newsweek “I READ IT IN ONE GREEDY GULP, ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE.”—Liz Smith “[Susann’s] pulp poetry resonates to this day. WITH HER FORMULA OF SEX, DRUGS, AND SHOW BUSINESS, Susann didn’t so much capture the tenor of her times as she did predict the Zeitgeist of ours.”—Detour

Book Description
Focusing on the period from the 1850s through the 1930s, the contributors show how issues of labor and class have been far more important in the formation of media institutions than previous accounts concede. These essays recover the history of ethnic and cultural diversity--including the contributions of women--that have enriched the process of communication.

Book Description
About the Book Convinced it's a trap to lure him into the open, Jake can't resist Callie. With his jaded worldview and dark sense of humor, he rushes back to the States. They've been trying to kill him for over fifteen years, and as long as those who want Jake dead still breathe, his friends Curt, Cash and Callie are in grave danger. A firsthand witness to the Oklahoma City Bombing Coverup, some in the Deep State's shadow government are on a mission to bury Jake and what he knows by any means necessary. It's the same reason they executed Jake's old schoolmate Timmy McVeigh faster than the speed of truth - dead men don't talk. These brutal government assassins seek to destroy Jake's reputation and then take his life. Collateral damage is inconsequential. With Jake in the ground, they're expecting to finally retire with a full-government pension, a mission-completion bonus and the status of heroes. But first, they'll need to get Jake Charm. It did not suddenly become easy. ''An excellent delivery of suspense, shock and thrill. A book you can't put down"- Peter Vazquez, the president of the Frederick Douglass Foundation of New York. About the Author Matt Kreutz is an independent money manager and retirement planner, who also helps folks with their life insurance and Medicare insurance needs.

A Spectacular Leap
Author: Jennifer H. Lansbury
Publisher: University of Arkansas Press
ISBN: 1610755421
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
When high jumper Alice Coachman won the high jump title at the 1941 national championships with "a spectacular leap," African American women had been participating in competitive sport for close to twenty-five years. Yet it would be another twenty years before they would experience something akin to the national fame and recognition that African American men had known since the 1930s, the days of Joe Louis and Jesse Owens. From the 1920s, when black women athletes were confined to competing within the black community, through the heady days of the late twentieth century when they ruled the world of women's track and field, African American women found sport opened the door to a better life. However, they also discovered that success meant challenging perceptions that many Americans--both black and white--held of them. Through the stories of six athletes--Coachman, Ora Washington, Althea Gibson, Wilma Rudloph, Wyomia Tyus, and Jackie Joyner-Kersee--Jennifer H. Lansbury deftly follows the emergence of black women athletes from the African American community; their confrontations with contemporary attitudes of race, class, and gender; and their encounters with the civil rights movement. Uncovering the various strategies the athletes use to beat back stereotypes, Lansbury explores the fullness of African American women's relationship with sport in the twentieth century.
