Jerry the Joker has a new girlfriend. He knew Dixie came with baggage. She had been involved in a bank robbery, was on stage as a stripper and second banana to a magician, and had been an extra in B movies.

The dominant narrative about the causes of the Civil War is the work of historians obsessed with social activism instead of history.

"But how do I get in?" The narrator asks himself, just as Alice did before she followed the White Rabbit. In a similar land of magical realism, Ronald R.

In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for 14 days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness. None survived. In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment. What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare.

Though none of us pray enough, we all pray some. There eventually comes a moment when we get desperate enough to cry out to God. We pour out our prayers, making confessions, promises, and deals, then we say "Amen". And we wait. And wait. Sometimes the silence is deafening, and we question whether God hears us or not. We wonder if our prayers ever got past the ceiling, if he’s even there, or if he is waiting on us to do something. So what do we do while we wait for God to answer our prayers?

Some say he was a breakthrough academic and visionary shaman. Others say he was a sham. Either way, Carlos Castaneda shaped a generation of mystical thinkers and magic mushroom eaters. In 1968, at the height of the psychedelic age, Castaneda published The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, the first of 12 books describing his apprenticeship to an Indian shaman, and his journeys to the “separate reality” of the sorcerers’ worlds.

In the 1970s, the troupe of dancers is her livelihood at the tender age of 18. The dancer is talented. The dance manager's treatment of her is unequal to her counterparts. Despite this form of discrimination, some of this company recruiters believed in the fair-skinned dancer's abilities, believing that she, as a Negro woman, could make a difference for all of the girls in America.

Nothing in American history has ever equaled the death and destruction of the intense and bloody warfare of 1861-1865 between Americans. For later generations, such a horror must have the comfort of a moral justification. The war must have been a noble and necessary crusade carried out against evil people who refused to give up their slaves. But is this true? Did those men in blue really sacrifice their lives for the freedom and equality of Black Americans? Did those men in gray give their lives so that some could continue to hold Black Americans in slavery?

Young John Gray was the only boy ever to flunk out of Marcia Van Scoy’s School of Ballroom Dancing. And that was after he had repeated the class. Twice. No surprise then, that he had a love/hate relationship with his best friend, Peter, who could float and cavort with pure abandon. No wonder dancing became the metaphor for John’s entire life, and for his sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking three-decade pilgrimage in search of his own dance, with rollicking Peter always nearby, if sometimes disastrously so.
