Blind Date
"Mario Diament's stunning, brilliant Blind Date, is a play about, among other things, parallel universes and human need to explain what appears unexplainable. This is a play that's bound for glory."-Ronald Magravite, New Times.
A Report on the Banality of Love
He was Martin Heidegger, one of the most brilliant thinkers in Germany, a 35 year-old professor of Philosophy at the University of Marburg, married with children.She was Hannah Arendt, his 18 year-old Jewish student. In 1925, they started a passionate affair that would span half a century.When Hitler came to power, Heidegger was rector of the University of Freiburg and a member of the Nazi party. Arendt fled Germany, first to France and then to the U.S., where she became active in the Jewish survival effort. Separated for seventeen years, the lovers met again in 1950. By then, he was a discredited former Nazi and she was one of the most prominent intellectuals of the post-war world. Despite Heidegger's past affiliations, Arendt's love for him never faltered. She helped him regain his former position, and even became his translator and promoter.Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. And sometimes the greatest fiction arises from that truth. Based on two important historical figures of the last century, this may be the strangest love story ever told.
The Book of Ruth
The Book of RuthAn old woman searches her attic for something she can no longer recall. In the process, encounters figures from her past, including herself at various stages of her life.SmithereensThree friends get together twenty years after Argentina's 'Dirty War' in the 1970s and '80s, to confront their actions, their responsibilities and their guilt.About The Book of Ruth"Diament's emotionally touching new play, based loosely on his mother's life, wraps history with symbolism and a small amount of nostalgic reverie." -Jack Zink, Sun-Sentinel"Smithereens, Diament's personal attempt at understanding the events of Argentina's 'Dirty War' in the 1970s and '80s, could be taken as an odyssey of a nation. The events the play's three main characters are reliving took place 20 years ago, but what makes this play relevant is the idea that people and nations must accept responsibility for the past before stepping successfully into the future." - Jane Bussey, The Miami Herald
Landscapes of Memory and Impunity
Winner of an Honorable Mention in the Latin American Jewish Studies Association (LAJSA) 2017 Book Award competition for an outstanding book on a Latin American Jewish topic in the social sciences or humanities published in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. Landscapes of Memory and Impunity chronicles the aftermath of the most significant terrorist attack in Argentina’s history—the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed eighty-five people, wounded hundreds, and destroyed the primary Jewish mutual aid society. This volume, edited by Annette H. Levine and Natasha Zaretsky, presents the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary work about this decisive turning point in Jewish Argentine history—examining the ongoing impact of this violence and the impunity that followed. Chapters explore political protest movements, musical performance, literature, and acts of commemoration. They emphasize the intersecting themes of memory, narrative and representation, Jewish belonging, citizenship, and justice—critical fault lines that frame Jewish life after the AMIA attack, while also resonating with historical struggles for pluralism in Argentina.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin first appeared in 2009, and it's already challenging everything we've come to accept about money, financial institutions, and even government. The digital currency can be nearly anonymous. And it can be traded internationally—without the fees, government regulation, and bank oversight of paper money. But Bitcoin is still risky. Its value fluctuates wildly. More than $400 billion of it disappeared overnight with the fall of a single trading exchange. How is that possible? And why is it so popular? CNNMoney reporter Jose Pagliery explains it all. He details the digital currency's mysterious origins. He explores the dark side of Bitcoin: a world of drugs and assassins for hire. And he examines the economic impact of this revolutionary concept through interviews with pensive economists, wary bank regulators, and free market proponents such as Ron Paul. Bitcoin: And the Future of Money explains how it works and why it matters. The book is essential reading for anyone looking to understand a financial innovation that will forever change how we think about money.

According to the same release, the aircraft had ignored all calls from air traffic control and ended up crashing and burning after colliding with another Soviet aircraft. With this cryptic information began...
