In The Cutting Edge of Reading the Huberts' develop a discourse which starts where the livre d'artiste leaves off.
Whenever I hear someone mention the year 1996, I immediately think of that magical baseball season in which a special group of young men won forty-three consecutive baseball games. But it was so much more than just those forty-three games. It was the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to both the game they loved and the teammates they competed with. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of their journey. Tim Dowdy, Former New Hope Baseball Coach The spring of 96 was a magical time that I will never forget. It was a three-month period in which the stars aligned and took us on an unforgettable ride. Carey Edwards, Former New Hope Baseball player I went to my knees near the third base line as the ball began to get closer and closer to the ground. As a sixteen-year-old, all I could think about was how I had just let my team down. My name was going to be in the record books, the only pitcher with an L next to his name. Suddenly, my feet went numb as I stood up in disbelief. I saw what had just happened but didnt believe it. I still have never seen another catch like that! Scott Kappler, Former New Hope Baseball Player
'Meadow Grass' is a series of 13 short tales set in the fictional town of Tiverton in New England, America. The stories cover social life and customs according to Brown and reflect upon her memories of her upbringing in nearby New Hampshire. Alice Brown is an American novelist and short-story writer. She is best known for her tales about New England and as a writer of local colour stories. Born in New Hampshire in 1857, Brown's stories often portray a female protagonist in a domestic setting. Her first novel, 'Stratford-by-the-Sea', was published in 1884. It cemented Brown as part of the Boston literary scene, but by the time she died in 1948 (aged 91), many of her stories had been forgotten about and were no longer being published.

Praise for Bush's Brain "Love him or hate him, Karl Rove is one of the most brilliant and successful political consultants of all time. In this riveting account, Wayne Slater and Jim Moore tell how he got there." —Paul Begala, CNN's Crossfire "Bush's Brain isn't a hatchet job on George W. Bush. In fact, the two authors largely dispel the myth of Bush's supposedly deficient IQ. But, more importantly, they lay bare the story of how Karl Rove may be the most powerful man in America. It's a compelling story told by two veteran Texas journalists who don't need a briefing packet to understand the men they're writing about." —Philip Bruce, KCET/PBS Television, Los Angeles The most powerful individual in the United States may not be George W. Bush. It is probably Karl Rove, the President's brilliant advisor. Who is this man and how did he acquire so much power? Having watched in awe for over fifteen years as they reported on the rise of Karl Rove, Moore and Slater expose the brutal and sometimes morally questionable, but invariably effective ways in which Karl Rove?and America's political system—actually operate.
Baby did not want to go with Whip, but she was afraid to refuse. She had borne the brunt of his temper, and she knew he just as soon hit her as look at her. Oh, well. OK. I guess I can, she said. She hoped Cecil would take up for her and send Whip off on his own. That didnt happen. She decided she would buy a blow pop at the Quik Stop when they got to Main Street. Whip spit in the yard as they left it; this time he had a real gun with him. Baby was quiet all the way to town. She said, Whatcha gonna do now? What difference does it make? You wouldnt understand if I told ya. You not only the dumbest girl in town, you the ugliest too. Baby was used to abuse; she thought it was normal. She knew s...
