The primary purpose is to present the views of a diversified group of contemporary Jewish thinkers…..The second purpose (for the editor, at least, equally important) is to demonstrate the validity of the Reconstructionist contention that, in the judaism of today and tomorrow, diversity of theologies must be recognized as both inevitable and desirable. If there is to be unity in Jewish life, that unity must grow out of a common concern for the total welfare of the Jewish people, and out of the common striving to help the Jewish people make a significant contribution to the advancement of… Read More

This book, containing all 600 of Burma-Shave's roadside rhymes, highlights a few of them with amusing drawings. "Beginning with a few sets of signs along Highway 65 in Minnesota, this fabulous and funny "commercial Mother Goose" grew into a national institution numbering over 7000 sets in 43 states. It was that miracle of advertising - a campaign that made everybody happy. Not "hard sell" nor "soft sell, " rather it was a "friendly sell" that kept the cash registers ringing with coin while the customers rang with laughter. This is fun Americana, to take you back along some twisty, two-lane, blacktop trail past a contented farmer's pasture proclaiming: His face was smooth / and cool as ice / and oh Louise / He smelled so nice / Burma-Shave.

Of all the personalities associated with Anne Frank, the most important figure, without whom Anne Frank would never have been able to write her diary, is perhaps the least known. He is Victor Kugler, the Mr. Kraler of the diary. The principal business partner of Otto Frank, Victor Kugler assumed managerial control of the Franks' Amsterdam spice-importing business when Nazi persecution forced the Frank family into hiding. It was Victor Kugler who kept the business going and obtained food rations under what was the harshest German wartime occupation in all of Western Europe. Without Victor Kugler, Anne Frank and her family would have starved to death a month after going into hiding.
For this heroism, Victor Kugler himself was arrested and sent to a series of German labor camps in Holland where he survived by his wits and… Read More

Kirkus Review: Gilchrist's fiction, from the bright stories of In the Land of Dreamy Dreams to the feverish longueurs of her novel The Annunciation, depend almost entirely upon the vengeful high spirits of well-to-do, very spoiled Southern girls and women. Willfulness is all, whether manifesting itself in 14-year-old Rhoda Manning's war of resolve with her father over her smoking habits ("Music"") or Crystal King's sabotage of her Texas brother's big-game ranch ("Traceleen, She's Still Talking"). Elsewhere, a mÃnage à trois develops with the male cousin of one of two girls solely, it seems, because the girls are both flying high on diet pills; a woman's long and very opportune madness and confinement (""Crazy, Crazy, Now Showing Everywhere") provides the most interest to be found in an overripe household. In fact, the majority of Gilchrist's protagonists are… Read More
