Octagon Commonweal
Poetry. "If there is any elbow room between the crazy eights of classical history and the current pop conundrum on the heels of American jazz, Mike Sweeney has deftly slipped his arm into the slim sleeve of the above. OCTAGON COMMONWEAL makes yesterday and tomorrow irrelevant, since here we are now, like it or not."—Tony Sanders, author ofPartial Eclipse, Transit Authority, The Warning Track, andImmolation Row "In a book like almost nothing I have ever read-maybe closest comes the work of NYC School poet Terence Winch, or the aphorisms of Romanian philosopher Emile M. Cioran-Michael Sweeney cubistly navigates the MMA Octagon as metaphor. He riffs high, pop and underground culture (Alex Chi...
Secrets of Victory
During World War II, the civilian Office of Censorship supervised a huge and surprisingly successful program of news management: the voluntary self-censorship of the American press.

Radio was relatively new, and World War II was its first war. Among the difficulties facing historians examining radio reporters during that period is that many potential primary documents—their live broadcasts—were not recorded. In NBC Goes to War, Cassidy’s censored scripts alongside his personal diary captures a front-line view during some of the nastiest fighti...
