Green & Golden Moments
If ever a sports franchise could afford to run on cruise control, the Green Bay Packers could, with their guaranteed sellouts and 65,000-person season ticket waiting list. But Bob Harlan never let that happen. Harlan joined the team in 1971, was elected as its president in 1989 and became the single biggest force in re-establishing the Packers as an elite NFL organization both competitively and financially. In the 18 years that Harlan was in charge, the Packers went to the playoffs ten times, played in two Super Bowls, won one of them and lived through only three losing seasons?an incredible feat in the era of salary caps and free agency. This is the story of how a kid from Iowa who wanted to be a sports writer built a career, in his own low key, unassuming way, as one one of the most effective executives in any game in America.
John Marshall Harlan
Harlan. Known today to every student of constitutional law, principally for his dissenting opinions in early racial discrimination cases, Harlan was an important actor in every major public issue that came before the Supreme Court during his thirty-three-year tenure. Named by a hopeful father for Chief Justice John Marshall, Harlan began his career as a member of the Kentucky Whig slavocracy. Loren Beth traces the young lawyer's development from these early years through the secession crisis and Civil War, when Harlan remained loyal to the Union, both as a politician and as a soldier. As Beth demonstrates, Harlan gradually shifted during these years to an antislavery Republicanism that still...
Tales from the Packers Sideline
There are probably as many stories from the Green Bay Packers sideline as there are fans of one of the country's most storied sports franchises. That's what Tales from the Packers Sideline is all about.Since the earliest days of professional football, the Packers have been as much a part of the game as the ball itself-from Curly Lambeau to Johnny "Blood" McNally; from Bart Starr to Ray Nitschke; from the Ice Bowl to Vince Lombardi to Mike Holmgren and Brett Favre. Some of the stories will feel as familiar and comfortable as tailgating at Lambeau Field on a gorgeous October morning. Others will be new to even the most avid Packers fan. But hopefully, all will bring back special memories and reveal a part of what makes the Green Bay Packers more than just a football team.This is a franchise that has grown up with the country, and everyone has a favorite Packers story. From odd pregame rituals to controversial coaching decisions to strange players to the details behind what made a great game a truly great game, the stories are there to be told-and Tales from the Packers Sideline does just that.

The Great Dissenter
The story of an American hero who stood against all the forces of Gilded Age America to help enshrine our civil rights and economic freedoms. Dissent. No one wielded this power more aggressively than John Marshall Harlan, a young union veteran from Kentucky who served on the US Supreme Court from the end of the Civil War through the Gilded Age. In the long test of time, this lone dissenter was proven right in case after case. They say history is written by the victors, but that is not Harlan's legacy: his views--not those of his fellow justices--ulitmately ended segregation and helped give us our civil rights and our economic freedoms. Derided by many as a loner and loser, he ended up being ...
The Gaia Conspiracy:
The GaiaConspiracy: The Last Days of Homo rapiens is a narrative about an eclectic group of Americans on a canoe trip on the Yukon River with a guide who is a self-taught renaissance man whose mission in life is to educate his charges about the true realities of life on this little oasis in space, a counterpoint to the propaganda of the corporate media leading us into holocausts on all fronts. The adventure changes their lives, their perceptions of their country, their vision of the future, and leads them to realize that business-as-usual, playing the game within a corrupt system dominated by greed and lust for power, can only end in our last hour on this stage, and they determine to make an effort to reverse our rush into the abyss, knowing that apathy, ignorance and denial are powerful forces working against them.

Game of My Life
When Bart Starr snuck across the goal line in the withering cold of Lambeau Field to beat the Dallas Cowboys in 1967. The Ice Bowl became the greatest game in Green Bay Packers history. Unless, of course, it was the NFC championship win over the Carolina Panthers in 1997 that sent the Packers back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 30 years. Maybe it was that mind-bending 48-47 Monday night win over the Washington Redskins in 1983, or perhaps it was the Western Conference title win over the Baltimore Colts in 1965 on an overtime field goal that Colts players to this day say was no good. It could also have been any one of Green Bay's three Super Bowl wins or the victory over the San Fran...
