Speeding to the Millennium
Natoli offers observations from a postmodern point of view of American culture "speeding" toward the millennium in the years 1993–1995, a time sandwiched between mounting anxieties at the beginning of the nineties and the desperate final journey of the Heaven's Gate cult in the latter half of the decade. Sometimes a whole life, like the Unabomber's, defies our logical grasp. What motivated Susan Smith, the mother who sent her two babies strapped into their car seats to the bottom of a lake? Why did we pay so much attention to the O.J. Simpson trial? Are we crawling toward our own end beyond the horizon of the New Millennium while at the same time thinking we are speeding to new positions in cyberspace? Speeding to the Millennium reviews the headlines and seeks the Big Screen to give some framing to the disturbingly contingent, to the seemingly senseless.
America Under Fire
This book was written to hopefully make people aware of the fact, that there are different ways of looking at thinks. Of courser this does not apply to every situation and circumstance that arises. However, I believe it applies enough, that people should start to consider this different approach to looking at things when certain situations come up. First, is a strategy which could hopefully keep us from getting bogged down in anymore long draw out guerrilla war (Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan). The way we are presently staying in places like this for about 10 years allowing our soldiers, and marines to get picked off one at a time by IEDs, is unacceptable. This sacrifice, is further insulted by the fact, that shortly after our military leaves the country we tried to help, it usually falls apart. Second, I know very little about the economy, however, Ive come up with 2 ideas that I believe will be beneficial for the American people to start to think about and consider. Third, racism in America, there is another side to racism in this country and not being aware of it (weather your white, black, red, or yellow) I believe is more of a negative then a positive.

King Arthur and Robin Hood on the Radio
Before stories of King Arthur and Robin Hood were adapted and readapted for film, television and theater, radio scriptwriters looking for material turned to Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur (1485) and Howard Pyle's The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (1883). Throughout the 1930s to the mid-1950s, their legends inspired storylines for Abbott and Costello, Popeye, Let's Pretend, Escape, Gunsmoke, The Adventures of Superman and others. Many of these adaptations reflect the moral and ethical questions of the day, as characters' faced issues of gender relations, divorce, citizenship, fascism, crime and communism in a medieval setting.
