The Alley of Angels

The Alley of Angels takes readers on a dark journey to El Salvador during the waning days of that country's bloody civil war. Chicago writer Henry Reed and his friend and colleague photographer Jean-Michel Beaulieu are assigned to discover the fate of Robert Zorn, a high-profile pastor and celebrity rabble-rouser, whose unwelcome involvement in the war may have led to his disappearance, and possibly, his death. Reed and Beaulieu's investigation finds them crossing paths with a dangerous assortment of war-weary players, including peace activists, CIA agents, death squad assassins, FMLN rebels and teenage prostitutes. In this lethal environment nothing is what it seems and no one can be trusted.

Abbots and Abbesses as a Human Resource in the Ninth- to Twelfth-Century West

This volume provides a record of the response, by eight expert scholars in the field of medieval monastic studies, to the question "To what extent did abbots and abbesses contribute as a `human resource' to the development of reformed monastic communities in the ninth- to twelfth-century west?" Covering a broad geographical area, papers consider one or several of three key points of interest: the direct contribution of abbots and abbesses to the shaping of reformed realities; their influence over future modes of leadership; and the way in which later generations of monastics relied upon the memory of a leader's life and achievements to project current realities onto a legitimizing past.

Peter Neverov, a classical concert pianist, is plagued by recurring thoughts of leading an inauthentic existence, as he travels from concert venue to concert venue. Feeling trapped in the life that he once dreamed for himself, Peter now reaches blindly for the human intimacy that his career has never afforded him. One night, at a hotel bar in Budapest, he meets Erika, a stunning call-girl. Initially shocked with her proposition to spend the night with him, he accepts her offer, hoping for a temporary palliative for the gnawing malaise from which he suffers. To his surprise, Peter discovers in Erika a charming and intelligent young woman who-much like him-is trapped in her own circumstances. Following a night that brings him not only physical pleasure, but, more important, an emotional respite, he becomes convinced that without her he will sink back into his unrelenting anxieties. He desperately tries to persuade her to remain with him for a few days longer, until his concert in Prague. There, he pleads with a reluctant Erika to follow him to New York, unmindful of the profound consequences such a move would have on both their lives.

Building a Special Relationship offers thoughtful insight into Canadian and American foreign relations during the 1950s, when Canada and the United States found new diplomatic footing as allies in the shadow of the Cold War. This book shows how the Eisenhower years were crucial in forming the bilateral relationship that currently exists between Canada and the United States. Under President Eisenhower and Prime Ministers St. Laurent and Diefenbaker, policy makers on both sides of the border collaborated with an air of “tolerant accommodation” on significant issues of the day. Despite frequent differences, they established frameworks for defence, foreign policy, economic growth, and resource management, many of which endure today. For scholars and readers of political history, international relations, and diplomacy, Building a Special Relationship makes a compelling case that the Eisenhower era is key to understanding the ongoing bond between these two nations.
