James Baird Weaver (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from James Baird Weaver There is much inspiration in the career of General James B. Weaver, because in his day, when the world of politics "was changing and searching out a new orbit," he was a pioneer and a prophet. As a pioneer he gave expression to the thought and feeling of the agricultural West: he was, indeed, the exponent of the democracy of the West, and "the key to his position upon public policies is to be found in his persistent spirit of democracy." As a prophet General Weaver "voiced ideas and principles in Congress that were little regarded at the time.

Horror Films
Why do so many of us enjoy being told frightening stories? What are some of the consequences that result from such exposure? In light of the considerable popularity of horror films over the last three decades, these questions have become the focus of growing attention for many scholars.

Little Horrors
Zombies, werewolves and chainsaw-wielding maniacs are tried-and-true staples of horror films. But none can match the visceral dread evoked by a child with an innocent face and a diabolical stare. Cinema's evil children attack our cherished ideas of innocence and our innocent bystander status as the audience. A good horror film is a scary ride--a "devil child" movie is a guilt trip. This book examines 24 international films--with discussions of another 100--that in effect "indict" viewers for crimes of child abuse and abandonment, greed, social and ecological negligence, and political and war crimes, and for persistent denial of responsibility for them all. For 75 years evil children have ritually rebuked audiences and, in playing on our guilt, established a horror subgenre that might be described as a blood-spattered rampage on an ethical mission.
