Subverting Open Government
In this volume, Bruce Montgomery addresses the flurry of post-Watergate legislative measures passed by Congress to assure a more open and accountable government after the enormous abuses of power and secrecy of the Nixon era under various presidential administrations starting with the Reagan years and continuing through the current administration. The essays address the themes of publicity and secrecy, legislative and executive branch conflict over presidential materials, historical legacy versus open government, and the ramifications of Nixon's inadvertent legacy concerning the presidential prerogative of executive privilege and the disposition of presidential communications.

The Amorous Flea
Arnolphe, a wealthy older man, returns home after a ten-day absence, where he has assumed the name "Monsieur de la Souche." His friend Chrysalde warns Arnolphe about the dangers of his longtime plan of confining his ward, Agnès, to a convent to "be raised in ignorance of life" that someday she may be his innocent and dutiful wife. Arnolphe pays him no heed. Now that Agnès is of marrying age, he moves her into his house and plans to soon wed her. Horace, the son of Arnolphe's dear friend, Oronte, arrives at Arnolphe's house and confesses he has fallen in love with a beautiful girl. She has told him of how her master, Monsieur de la Souche, keeps her hidden away from the world. Not knowing about Arnolphe's new name, Horace confides to him his plan to steal away Agnès. Thus begins the game of scheming by each man to hold onto Agnès despite unexpected challenges.
Maud
Born November 30, 1874, L.M. Montgomery spent her childhood in a rural farmhouse, like her beloved character Anne of Green Gables. Raised by strict, elderly guardians, she had an early life full of loneliness and struggle; however, Maud had a secret dream: to become a writer. In fascinating, authentic detail, this biography follows life on turn-of-the-century Prince Edward Island, the setting for nearly all of Maud’s stories. The town of Cavendish, so much like the Avonlea of the Anne books, is where Maud began writing, at the age of nine. In Cavendish she grew into a vibrant and attractive young woman. Yet Maud Montgomery never wed the one man she truly desired; when she finally did marry...
