Seven-year-old Katy Johnson was caught up in her own world of rumor and suspicion, fueled by the wildfire of local gossip.
Toast
Here it is! The poem book you have been asking for: TOAST (Light, Medium, Dark, and Burnt) by Betty Laird. This is a collection of Betty's poems, selected largely because of their popularity with readers of the Lawrence Journal World, in which many of them have appeared. For those who like fiction, or near-fiction, readers will find several short stories as well. "True poets speak a language different from that of regular mortals, yet Betty Laird has managed, in TOAST, to use her simple, but eloquent, language to touch deeply the heart of anyone who reads her work. It's a rare and wonderful gift." --Esther Luttrell, author of Between Heaven and Earth.

Executive Power and Soviet Politics
Ever since the behavioral revolution reached Communist studies more than 2 decades ago, Western scholarship has tended to ignore the powerful and unwieldy institutional structure of the Soviet government. Today, suddenly, it is clear that the dramatic political and legislative reforms of the Gorbachev years will remain incomplete as long as the issues of state bureaucratic power and executive prerogative are unresolved. This volume, brings together original studies of the Soviet executive under Gorbachev by specialists including Barbara Chotiner, Stephen Fortescue, Brnda Horrigan, Ellen Jones, Wayne Limberg, T.H. Rigby and Louise Shelley. Among the topics covered are the major economic, national security and law enforcement ministries, the presidency, the cabinet and questions of presidential-ministerial, presidential-presidential, legislative-executive and party-state relations.
