                              3 out of 5 stars Excellent collectable but not enough pictures.......2000-05-14

                              I was so happy when I got this book as I have been restoring a couple Chris's for the last several years. But was dissapointed after thumbing through it. There a very few pictures of the different models, infact the illustrator seems to have used the same 4 boats throughout the whole text, with slight exception. The history material is excellent dry reading witha lot of facts most people are unaware of. Every model is listed in the book but sometimes so briefly the reference has no value. All Chris Craft owners should have this on their coffee table or aboard their boat.

                              5 out of 5 stars Legend of Chris Craft should be available in every library.......1998-11-01

                              The legend of Chris craft is a masterpiece by both the author and publisher that should be made available to our all of our citizens.

                              The problem as I see it,is, its a best kept secret,not enough marketing,even long time Chris Craft owners do not know of its existence.

                              5 out of 5 stars A must for any chris craft enthusiast.......1998-07-15

                              Recommended reading for anyone interested in historly of this legenday American boat builder. Chocked full of details about the company and the boats.

                              4 out of 5 stars Chris-Craft owner and like it.......1998-06-16

                              I was thoroughly impressed with the scholarly research obviously conducted for the writing of this book. The early years especially are covered with a thorough attention to the personalities that built what used to be America's premier pleasure craft builder. The last half of the book will be especially useful for owners of newer Chris Crafts as every single boat is mentioned in its model year and the lines are extensively covered. I also really liked the cover.

                              3 out of 5 stars Informative book on the men and the company behind the boats.......1997-12-28

                              The history that made one of Americas most sucessful boat companies is excellent. The intrigues and negotiations leading up to the founder family parting with their company is great reading and the coverage of the early racing boats leaves little to be desired. The coverage of the massproduced boats is however less informative. The vast majority of the boats designed are only referred to with model name, available sizes and price ranges. All facts and figures are imbedded in the body text which makes the book impossible to use as a source of reference. Almost all pictures are overviews of one boat at the time. There are very few pictures highlighting unique or clever designs, and/or comparative pictures comparing various models and/or year classes.

                                  Penzler Pick, April 2002: The second novel by Baine Kerr is, like his first, Harmful Intent, a densely plotted thriller with the threads of the story meandering here and there, the author apparently in no hurry to get to the crux of his story. It is a device that, in the hands of a less talented writer, might frustrate the reader, but here it is a pleasure to go along for the ride during which a richly textured story infolds.

                                  It begins on December 25, 1993, in Laramie, Wyoming. June Mooney, the only female engineer at the train yard, has signed up for duty on Christmas Day because her daughter is with June's ex. Dale Stillwell, a loner, has also signed up for duty. In the middle of a raging blizzard, June is in the trailing cab of a locomotive, steering it through the yard while Dale hangs off the lead engine checking switches and giving the go ahead. As June's engine starts down a line to a spur, an outbound coal train stands in the cutoff. Dale is straining to see through the snow and, as he glimpses the cowcatchers of the coal train close in with 6 inches to spare, he clambers up the rungs of his engine, misses one, loses his hold, and slips between the trains. He is rolled and then dropped with two collapsed lungs, 11 broken bones, and a bolt jammed into his skull. June never saw a thing.

                                  This story is told by Elliott Stone, the court-appointed conservator for Dale Stillwell in the matter of Stillwell vs. The Western Pacific Railroad. As conservator, Elliott is making sure the financial settlement being hammered out between the lawyers for each side is fair. June is there, but now she's June Stillwell, having married Dale and devoted her life to nursing him. June reminds Elliott of his wife who, two years earlier, died unexpectedly. Elliott doesn't really want this job, but he is persuaded to take the case by Stillwell's doctor, Hans Leitner. Elliott owes Leitner a favor for getting him an appointment in The Hague to join the prosecutor's office at the United Nations criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The settlement is agreed upon and Elliott can leave for Europe but, as he leaves the courthouse, he overhears Dale Stillwell muttering over and over "I'm going to k-kill her!"

                                  Two years pass and Elliott returns to discover that June Stillwell is in the Colfax Center for Rehabilitation with other hopeless patients after being brutally attacked in her bed by person or persons unknown and with an object which nobody can identify.

                                  The stage is set. When a series of deaths occur at the Colfax Center, Elliott is in a unique position to connect the deaths at Colfax with European war crimes--and that connection is shocking. --Otto Penzler

                                  4 out of 5 stars Full of wit, but no surprises.......2003-07-30

                                  I loved reading about Helen and her interactions with the White House. Especially entertaining were her descriptions of the Gridiron dinners where she was often portraying first ladies in skits.

                                  This was a fast read, fun and entertaining. However, it came as no surprise that Nixon had a dark humor, Reagan was always full of hot air and President Jr. and Sr. need to work on their command of the English language. What was great about the book was that it allowed us in to see a very human side of the working White House. I felt a part of the briefings and press conferences.

                                  After reading the book, I could honestly say that I knew more about the personalities of each president. Just by the tidbits in this book, it seems as though Jimmy Carter and Gerry Ford were the most genuine. Bill Clinton was certainly the most entertaining and sadly, our current president, does not always make the best impression.

                                  Lighthearted and jovial, Helen entertains us for all 240 pages.

                                  4 out of 5 stars The Side of Important men Few Get to See.......2003-01-08

                                  Helen Thomas shares the lighter side of nine presidents and their wives with the people whom do not know them so well. She re-tells jokes and conversations held between herself and nine presidents in her time of being "dean of the White House Press Corps".
                                  She implies that not all presidents are alike. Every one of them is different. While the chapter on Kennedy was quite humorous, that of Reagan's was less humorous and more about how he handled the press. There are many examples of humor in chpt 1. On page 19 it tells of how on the way to one of the campaign trials, Kennedy had to wear a dark blue suit with brown shoes because black shoes were not packed. After finding out that nobody had an extra pair to lend him and he would have to attend like so, he took it very lightly. He laughed when made a joke out of and found it quite amusing himself.
                                  Helen Thomas also implies that no matter how serious the job of being president is, they are just regular human beings. Just because they are president does not mean they do not have characteristics of an average man. By giving each and every president a sense of humor with their own little edge added to it, we see that they are regular people who like to laugh and make others laugh here and there. It makes the president's more familiar and relatable to the average man. Everyone can appreciate a little humor and by showing this average man quality in every one of these nine presidents the people find them to be more real, more life-like. Humans are the only animals who can be humorous or have a sense of humor. Dogs cannot laugh at your jokes, and kangaroos do not tell them. Therefore when this trait is put in the spotlight as the defining traits of people whom appear to be larger than life, it humanizes them.
                                  The author's thesis can be argued. One could easily argue that the presidents are nothing like an average human being and they deserve to be held up to a high standard, and are to be considered the very highest of flawless humans. A big deal was made of President Clinton's flaw, therefore showing that as average people, we have much higher standards for presidents and do not see them as being capable of having characteristics of our friends. Therefore it can be argued that Presidents are not like the rest of us.It can also be argued that maybe the humor that is portrayed is a tool in trying to convince the people that they are their friends. Like the method of campaigning, "I am just like you", they might be trying to make themselves seem to have the same characteristics as the people, but in reality do not. It may be a ploy for support.
                                  I would recommend this book for the humor and the side of a president's life that we as people critiquing the government hardly ever see. The book was fast paced and very entertaining.

                                  2 out of 5 stars Was not very funny.......2003-01-08

                                  This book was a compilation of anecdotes from 40 years of working in the White House. Although I found some stories to be humorous, I enjoyed very little of the book. Although the cute stories humanize our nations presidents, knocking down their "God like" image, I believe that there was no reason behind writing this book besides the fact that she could.
                                  I found some stories interesting, and I even cracked a smile on a rare occasion, but for the most part, this was just a silly way for Ms. Thomas to get money for a whole lot of who cares. Maybe if I had grown up during the past 40 years she was referring to, I might appreciate it more, but for the younger reader, it offers very little in entertainment.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Not a lot of wit and barely any wisdom.......2002-12-31

                                  Much to my chagrin, most of the "memories" within the book are NOT those of Helen Thomas. She compiled various anecdotes from various members of the White House staff and the press corps and threw them together with no overall sense of cohesion (save the chapter division by president).

                                  I have a beautifully autographed copy of the book and cherish it because I know Helen Thomas has been capable of a lot more "wit and wisdom" in her many years as a journalist than what this book reflects. If you are looking for an endearing memoir of Helen`s time in the White House, this isn`t it. One does not get a feel for how Mrs. Thomas` job has affected her (aside from her usual cantankerous quips which are readily available from other sources), and the "writing" can`t be evaluated as it is simply a bunch of secondary source material strung together by lengthy quotations. In a word, disappointing.

                                  4 out of 5 stars I liked it.......2002-12-09

                                  What was going on and said in the White House from where she was standing definitely made for some interesting stories. Well written and intimate.

                                    Was Anton von Webern an icon of progressive elements in music or a Nazi sympathizer? According to author Malcolm Hayes, perhaps both appellations are correct. Von Webern is neither as well known as his mentor Schoenberg nor did he achieve the (comparative) popular success of his compatriot Berg. As with other volumes in the Phaidon 20th-Century Composers series, more attention is focused on the life of von Webern than on the details of his music. Hayes recounts the troubled decline of Habsburg Austria in the first half of this century, which gave rise to the brand of modernism championed primarily by Schoenberg. Shot accidentally by an American soldier in 1945, von Webern never saw his postwar successes and was spared the spectacle of some of the claims of his postwar adherents.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Solid introduction the fascinating composer.......2000-04-07

                                    Webern's music seems to me to be something of an acquired taste. This biography, however, is perfectly designed to encourage one to acquire a taste for the strange atonal wisps of sound that comprise a good part of this composer's ouevre.

                                    Rather than getting bogged down in technical discussions of Webern's serial techniques, the author gives us the composer's life; stopping at crucial musical signposts to explain how his thought evolved. In each case, we're given an idea how to approach the given piece.

                                    Webern's music often seems unearthly, and he comes across as a bit unearthly (or at least very impractical) himself. Still, we get a human portrait of him, which further encourages us to see the passion in his music.

                                    As with all the books in this wonderful series, it contains copious quantities of drawings and photos, a complete list of compositions and a wonderful bibliography for further reading.

                                    If you've always wondered what the big deal about Webern was (to the extent that he influenced 50 years of music, frequently by people who seem not to have understood his muse), this is a good place to start finding out.

                                      I bought this book when it was first published, and it remains the most thorough study of the composer available. I've seen no book, before or since this book, which is as extensive. The author is sympathetic, but retains his objectivity; there's no trace of fauning admiration here, nor of academic aloofness. Mixes biography with discussions of his musical works. This is that proverbial "must-have' book for anyone with an interest in the composer.

                                      Shame this is diffucult to obtained,Moldenhauer is an archivist, a collector of the particles, anf filiments from one's lifeworld, and here this large book presents an exhaustive account of Webern's life down to much perosnal fragments, anxieties and wishes. We learn he remained afraid to conduct, and cancelled many times,also hated travel, he was very much like his music, thought thru down to finest rarefied details.,plucked strings, pencil-thin harmonics, Am Steg;a new musical language advanced like his "Six Pieces Op.6 for Orchestra",miniature gems of timbre here/there. There is not much on the creativity moments of his life, this is fairly a personal day to day ad nauseum at times narrative. It is fairly exhaustive, and really brings the commonplace aspects that fills really much of a composer's life, that in fact those moments of "illumination" or clarvoyance we as consumers continue wish to phanthom occur many times quite spontaneously and never within a durational frame of predictability; while walking or un-boarding a train, lighting up a cigarette, watching the troops from the train, returning home. His music, his diamond-cut pieces (Stravinsky decribed him) inspired a generation of composers. He affinity for purity number,density proportion shape and design were all welcome elements from the overdetermined political pages of Europe with Two Massive Wars, no one has seem to learn from.
                                      There are nice vintage photos all included here.

                                                    I couldn't put this book down! Moriarty is a wonderful writer for her age. Her story shows the poignancy of the human condition. She tells it without flinching though you might! Small book, fast read, giant story.

                                                    Marilyn F. Moriarty took a very unpleasant true story of her friend, Zack Rosen, and wrote it to read like a gripping novel. Ms. Moriarty's award winning book is a story of contradictions that laid the foundation of Zack Rosen's search for his purpose in life. Amidst the lies and abuses that penetrated and affected his life, Zack nonetheless finds what he believes was his true purpose as he spend his last years sending his messages about the horror of AIDS. It is refreshing that Zack was able to find the dignity that he deserved while dying after living a life of indignity. This book should teach us that choices we make today always affect the rest of our lives and indirectly the lives of others.
