A dark figure stood behind the bale. A flare of light crossed the corner and I saw who it was. It was Jotham and there was something with him, something small that was clinging to him and trying to hide. One of the guards was coming to the corner.

In this fascinating work, historian John Julian Norwich examines how nine of Shakespeare’s plays merged actual fact and poetic license. Norwich’s entrancing conclusions will likely keep historians (and Shakespeare buffs) up late at night. As the Kirkus reviewer explains, Norwich “uses his immense knowledge of English and European history to illuminate the historical background of the plays and to offer an intriguing look at England in the years of Shakespeare’s writing. Norwich’s analysis of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III emphasizes factors Shakespeare added for dramatic effect and his equally strategic omissions.” read more
All across America, young warriors for liberty are springing up, unwilling to fall into lockstep with the liberal ideology pervading campuses throughout our land. With “fire in their bellies and quills in their hands,” these passionate, truth-seeking students are forming independent campus publications that have become the most important voice of our times -- the conservative counterculture taking on the left-wing orthodoxy in the battle of ideas. They are the Sam Adams and Patrick Henrys of our era, as student Morgan N. Knull of the Wabash Commentary points out in one of the book’s many inspiring essays: “In the years before the Liberty Bell sounded a call to arms, patriots flooded newspapers and town squares with pleas for independence, sparking debate and influencing public opinion. They planted the philosophical roots for the United States...Independent papers serve as the conscience of schools, the guardian of traditions, and the voice of reason amidst the rot of higher education.” read more
From 1999 to 2003, Ari Fleischer was one of George W. Bush's most trusted advisers -- first as a top campaign aide, then as White House press secretary. As such, Fleischer had an insider's view of the most dramatic events of the President's first term -- including the disputed 2000 election results, 9/11 and its aftermath, and the pressure-filled buildup to the war in Iraq. Through it all, Fleischer had the unenviable task of putting out the President's message through a mostly Bush-hating White House press corps, which habitually took out their disdain for the President on Fleischer himself. Now, in this revealing memoir, Fleischer takes readers behind-the-scenes in the Oval Office during a time of almost continual crisis -- and tells what it was like to "take heat" from a hostile media bent on destroying the Bush presidency.

"The last few decades have seen a welcome revival of scholarly interest in how we should live. But in an age of relativism that asks us not to be judgmental, the idea that laughter signals inferiority will seem very old-fashioned. And so it is." With that unapologetic salvo, F. H. Buckley, in this entirely entertaining book on the serious subject of laughter, takes the side of the guardians of moral and aesthetic standards in the battle against the soulless forces of modernism.
