LIEBESKUNST
"Liebeskunst"(German, lit. "Loveart") is a pseudoplay, meant to be read, not seen on stage or screen, about the incompatibility between genuinely altruistic love and superficial soap-opera type love. Felix, a widower of European background represents the first kind, and his unconditional devotion and idealistic values for an American divorcée lead to his untimely death. Mitzi, the woman he loves, represents the second kind and her monetary infatuations as well as cynical values lead to such unresolvable crises that her life also ends in violent death alongside her lover. The play begins as an idyllic after-love morning scene but soon builds up such a furious tempest of character clashes that it all climaxes in absurd tragedy. Originally written in June-July, 1986, then completed in March 1987; and published for the first time in August 2007, second time in January, 2018.
BEDEUTUNGEN
Bedeutungen (German, lit. "Meanings") is a science-fiction novel of a cosmic voyage in two volumes, actually reaching the Absolute and then visiting most religions with critical perspectives and showing that the key to the future is scientific-moral education and peaceful evolution into the Cosmic Age via successful globalization. The first volume develops a consistent world view, reaching Ultimate Reality by induction and then deriving Man's world of the Relative from the world of the Absolute by deduction. Both methods of inquiry yield the same result, suggesting subjective as well as objective truth. Once we know the Absolute, then there is no further existential mystery or anxiety or quest and we can settle down to Life in chosen childlike innocence, serene tranquility, and true cosmic dignity. The voyage concludes with an unexpected but ultimately normal catharsis and a cautiously optimistic resolution.
GEWISSENHAFT
The first volume glances at conscientious behaviour falsified by the deceptive Nyxie, ?temptress? of short-term gratifications throughout the life of the main ?actor?, Dr. Dross narrated from the subjective point of view, when good but passive, conscience is easily suppressed. The story unfolds in the first person, until a near-fatal existential depression, before Genie, his real protagonist, intervenes, and suppresses Nyxie, his real antagonist. The second volume, looks at conscientious behaviour under the pressures of expediency in an idealized version of the main events, from the intervention of Genie onward when active conscience turns a loser into a winner. The story moves out of personal contexts and gradually includes other ?actors? beside the main protagonists, now Dr. Mir and his Genie. The question is to what extent is conscientious psychology private, as contrasted with collective or public behaviour. The question of whether there are any rules or laws of conscientious behaviour is dealt with.
ERWARTUNGEN
"Erwartungen"("Expectations")looks at the future using the star-ship Helios, commanded by Captain Genie Eos, in order to evaluate the expected evolution of Mirism, the ideology of Cosmic Man. The time-travel will be spiced with some humorous dialogues and sexy episodes, and major points of Mirism will be explained, depending on specific details. This final volume of the science-fiction trilogy is mostly concerned with the expectations, projections, and wishful thinking of a slowly dying man, Dr. Mir, both in the present and in the future. He is accompanied by his ever-faithful Genie, his beautiful (android) Swedish nurse, and ravishingly attractive Arab doctor, Halima Albari' whom he marries, and they have a son. She and Genie saved his life repeatedly, helped him to attain maximum possible contentment; but ultimately, they could not prolong his life. After he passed away, he was secretly cremated and his ashes were scattered in the gardens of the hospital where he was born.
Comical Co-Stars of Television
Although some scholars credit Shakespeare with creating in Henry IV's Falstaff the first "second banana" character (reviving him for Henry IV Part Two), most television historians agree that the popular co-star was born in 1955 when Art Carney, as Ed Norton, first addressed Jackie Gleason with a "Hey, Ralphie-boy," on The Honeymooners. The phenomenon has proved to be one of the most enduring achievements of the American sitcom, and oftentimes so popular that the co-star becomes the star. Twenty-nine of those popular co-stars get all of the attention in this work. Each chapter focuses on one television character and the actor or actress who brought him or her to life, and provides critical an...

ERDENSORGEN
Dr. Dross embarks on 'adventures' to champion Mirism, the ideology of Cosmic Man. His work generates popularity as well as hostility. Despite all that he emerges as a strong, even charismatic leader. He is appointed special advisor to the United Nations. He negotiates a deal between Israel and Iran; and obtains a semi-permanent cease-fire in the Middle-East. Then he arranges the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. The Republic of Israel becomes a constitutional monarchy, and Dr. Mir is nominated King of Israel. He repeatedly declines, but finally yields to tremendous public pressure. As the Temple is completed, he is put on a white donkey and led through the newly opened Golden Gate to be anointed and crowned. He requests a young Arab girl, so that innocence crowns the king. He opens the Temple as the House of Prayer for all nations. Then he travels to Rome declaring that Christianity is dissolved. He speaks at the United Nations of Earth. His heart fails and he passes away with a dignified, serene smile.
Who Was Who on TV
The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!
