Murder Orthodoxies: A Non-ConspiracistÕs View of Marilyn MonroeÕs Death
Perhaps no one's death has stirred more interest, controversy, and theories than Marilyn Monroe's August 4 of 1962. In Murder Orthodoxies, author Donald R. McGovern analyzes and examines the many theories that Monroe was murdered by a host of curious characters-from the middle Kennedy brothers to brutal gangsters to aliens. McGovern separates fact from fiction and theory from outlandish rumor. He addresses and debunks the usual allegations related to Monroe's death, the secrets recorded in her little red diary, her scheduled whistle-blowing press conference, the murder plots by organized crime and the brothers Kennedy, and the fatal injection of drugs, along with many others. In Murder Orthodoxies, McGovern restores logic and sanity to the investigation of Monroe's death. His thesis is based upon the premise that the engines of conspiracies are started and fueled by opinion, not by facts. His credible conclusions are based on logic, science, toxicology, and forensic evidence.
Jacqueline Kennedy
In a mere one thousand days, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy created an entrancing public persona that has remained intact for more than a half-century. Even now, long after her death in 1994, she remains a figure of enduring—and endearing—interest. Yet, while innumerable books have focused on the legends and gossip surrounding this charismatic figure, Barbara Perry’s is the first to focus largely on Kennedys’ White House years, portraying a First Lady far more complex and enigmatic than previously perceived. Noting how Jackie’s celebrity and devotion to privacy have for years precluded a more serious treatment, Perry’s engaging and well-crafted story illuminates Kennedy’s immeasura...
Praxis Partizipation
Was ist und wie geht Partizipation in der katholischen Kirche? Eine Kirche, in der einige wenige für viele andere die Gestaltungshoheit haben, verliert zunehmend an Kraft. Die Erschöpfung ist spürbar. Aber wie kann ein Kirchenverständnis vor Ort wachsen, das auf der Erfahrung des Teilens, der Teilhabe an Jesus Christus und der Beteiligung aller aufbaut? "Lokale Kirchenentwicklung" ist in den vergangenen Jahren zu einem Begriff geworden, der diese kirchliche Suchbewegung zu beschreiben versucht. Das Symposium "Praxis Partizipation" griff dieses gemeinsame Suchen und Finden von Perspektiven auf und setzte es fort. Dabei wurden sowohl intellektuelle als auch spirituelle und praxisorientierte Annäherungen unternommen, die in diesem Buch zu finden sind.
Our Jackie
Tells the story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis through her evolving public persona, from campaign wife to First Lady to fallen idol to treasured national icon When Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis became First Lady of the United States over sixty years ago, she stepped into the public spotlight. Although Jackie is perhaps best known for her two highly-publicized marriages, her legacy has endured beyond twentieth-century pop culture and she remains an object of public fascination today. Drawing on a range of sources– from articles penned for the women’s pages of local newspapers, to esteemed national periodicals, to fan magazines and film– Our Jackie evaluates how media coverage of Jacqueline ...
Jackie
The world was shocked when Jacqueline Kennedy married Aristotle Onassis in 1968. It would not have been so surprising had the truth of their relationship—which dated back to the 1950s—been known. Jackie knew Ari almost as long as she had known John F. Kennedy—and saw qualities in him (besides money) that she found highly attractive. The five years between her marriages to JFK and Onassis are often overlooked. But it was an incredible period of growth and change for Jackie. How did the world’s most famous woman remain so enigmatic? What was she really like? This book reveals the real Jackie, the one that hid behind her trademark large sunglasses. In this book, you’ll learn about: • Jackie’s lovers—and the one man she regretted not marrying • The secret, second burial of JFK • Her evolution from “political wife Jackie” into “nightclubbing, party girl Jackie” • Her own near death in 1967 • Her influence on pop art, fashion, and design

Empathie und Tabu(bruch) in Kultur, Literatur und Medizin
Wie wird Empathie zur Bewältigung des Tabu(bruch)s oder einer temporären Tabuaufhebung eingesetzt? Können Tabus beim Beobachter oder Leser Empathie induzieren (oder blockieren) und Tabuschwellen verändern? Die Autoren dieses Bandes stellen Konzepte, Funktionen und Wirkungsweisen von Empathie und Tabu(bruch) in brisanten lebensweltlichen Konstellationen vor. Sie zeigen, dass funktionale kommunikative und narrative Verfahren und Strategien im empathischen Umgang mit dem Tabu(bruch) in narrativen Texten, in der Filmästhetik und in (inter-)kulturellen Übersetzungsvorgängen eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Medizin- und bioethische Grenzsituationen, Aspekte der Arzt/Therapeuten-Patienten-Kommunikation und eine Tabuisierung des Todes werden ebenso diskutiert wie für Empathie relevante Tabufelder.
