When General Betchley formed the Urban Strike Group to combat the violence in Britain, no-one had any idea just how effective it would turn out to be. The commandos scythed through the streets of London, sweeping away terrorists and criminals as fast as they appeared. Operating with total anonymity with no fear of recrimination, their deadly methods proved to be overwhelming. However, such ruthlessness was always going to attract attention, and now they have a different kind of enemy; one as skilled and secretive as the Group itself, more than capable of returning fire in the heat of battle. The loss of one of their own brings home the harsh realities of urban warfare, and the consequences threaten to expose the USG to the very people hunting them. Now the commandos will need to defend the Capital while facing this new threat. Will their Close Quarter Battle abilities be enough? Or will fighting shadowy mercenaries prove to be their downfall?
French-Speaking Women Documentarians is a guide for teachers of French and others interested in selecting and researching the work of female French-speaking documentarians. Represented in this book are filmmakers from Canada, various African nations, the Antilles, Lebanon, Switzerland, Belgium, and several other countries, with emphasis on Agnès Varda of France - arguably the greatest female documentarian of all. The book includes information on each filmmaker, classified by country of origin, and lists and describes her works, giving factual information such as date, duration, credits, and synopses, and pointing out critical treatments, both in English and in French, of her most important films. Shorts, docudramas, and works of animation are also discussed, as they, too, reflect history and culture. This guide will lead to the viewing of films that shed understanding on the culture being portrayed and to a greater appreciation of the contribution of French-speaking women filmmakers to this important, if not always objective, film genre.

From the early days when the lack of reasonable travel options forced the Bruins to play local high school teams, to the World War II years against the studio teams from Hollywood, to the almost surreal success during the 1960s and 70s, to beyond. Jackie Robinson played basketball at UCLA. So did Rafer Johnson. They were part of the era when the Bruins often struggled for wins, strange as that would come to sound for a program that would one day have 88 of them in a row. Lew Alcindor came from the East to dominate, Bill Walton from the West to maintain the greatness, John Wooden from the heartland of Indiana to lead them both, and to lead them...
