Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Shocking Look at Feminism's Patron SaintMargaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, has been the subject of adoring television dramas and enthusiastic biographies, but her life and work were anything but inspiring. Killer Angel is a close-up look at Sanger that brings to light much that has been ignored or suppressed in most of the films and books that are available today.Sangers personal life was marked by tumult and immorality. The views underlying her formation of the American Birth Control League (renamed Planned Parenthood after World War II) were racist and White Supremacist. Her personal friend and advisor Ernst Rudin, Adolph Hitlers director of genetic sterilization, was deeply involved in the American Birth Control League. And she hated all religion, Christianity in particular. These are just a few of the revelations to be found in this revised edition of a work that has opened many eyes to aspects of Sangers work that have been largely ignored until now.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Go to the Head of the Class with a Baseball Legend Baseball legend Casey Stengel is considered by many to be the greatest manager in baseball history. He was certainly one of the most successful. He managed the fabled New York Yankees from 1949 to 1960 and compiled ten American League pennants and seven world championships during that time. He was also without question one of the game's all-time characters, best known for conversing in a mangled form of English that came to be known as Stengelese."" Beyond the comedy and the world championships, however, his baseball life spanned the ages, from the dead-ball era to Astro Turf. He began his big league career by playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1912 and ended it by managing the hapless New York Mets in 1965. Between the first and last stop, Stengel was a World Series hero; a failed manager with the Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Braves; a washed-up, aging manager in the minors; and the wacky interloper who took over the stuffy, staid Yankees in 1949 and reformed them into a dynasty. In Casey Stengel: Baseball's ""Old Perfessor, "" dozens of former players, friends, and associates recall the Stengel myth and the Stengel reality. They explore his managing style with great teams and with horrible teams; his pioneering, controversial techniques; his humor, his edginess, and his weaknesses; why some players hated him while others loved him; why some think he was a genius and others think he was merely the right man in the right place at the right time. What emerges is a fascinating ride through baseball history and a thoughtful look at the life of a man who was counted out, mocked, and underestimated--and yet he never gave up, finally findingsuccess in his later years.""

Known to football fans everywhere as "Sweetness," he helped lead the Bears to a Super Bowl victory following the 1985 season and over the years established himself as one of the sports world's most popular and personable role models. Payton was beloved by his teammates, idolized by his fans, and embraced by business partners. He captured the heart of the Windy City with a graciousness complimented by a spirit of humility and a wonderful sense of humor.

Before he passed away, he reportedly also renewed his commitment to his Christian faith. His death on November 1 coincided with the day known as All Saints Day in many Christian quarters.

An award-winning singer and recording artist, LuLu now shares her favorite recipes collected through the years of her amazing life. Kitchen Komforts is filled with dishes that are down-home and down-right good food that bring warmth to your heart and a smile to your face. Each recipe has been personally tested indeed cooked and served by LuLu herself. Her Sausage and Hash Brown Casserole is, as she says, "a real crowd pleaser!" Or try her best hostess gift recipe for Chocolate Cheesecake Squares. Crock Pot Chops were "always a nice dinner to come home to after a long day of shooting Hee Haw," and Tex Mex Potato Corn Chowder "is a great comfort food with all my favorite ingredients. I love the creamy, cheesy texture of this soup!" But LuLu knows the greatest comfort of all comes from knowing God. Understanding His plan for her has been a long road filled with many highs and lows. Having grown up in an orphanage from age three to eighteen, LuLu has always had to face her own demons of feeling unworthy and unloved. Her life has not always been laughs, applause, and awards. In Kitchen Komforts she opens her heart to her fans through inspirational stories of how God has worked in her life."

Many reasons have been suggested for why the two films have been unavailable until the summer of 2005, from the thought that the original films were damaged and the copies were not good enough for additional distribution to the theory that they have been withheld for a future grand release.
