What's the Story? April-May Issue
Basile headlines this month’s What’s the Story? with his Dysfunctionally Yours World Tour. One of his stops was Reno, Nevada. Most of us know someone with cancer, unfortunately. Dr. Forsythe was interviewed in Suzanne Somers book Knockout: Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer. Our friend Brian T. Shirley talks about the struggles with Promotion that many indie performers face. We also featured Danny Heisohm, a determined cancer survivor who was on What’s the Story? Radio Show recently. He has an event coming up in April, 2017. Regular contributor, Richard Pugh talks about the Mendacity of Advertising. No, that doesn’t happen, does it? John Loranger loves to read (and write too). He recently reviewed Wuthering Heights. Have you read it? Failed leadership is compared to the sinking of the Titanic in Greg Smith’s article this month. And Mike Aloia shares “Into Temptation”. As always, ENJOY!

An innovative, deeply researched history of Chinese medicine in America and the surprising interplay between Eastern and Western medical practice Chinese medicine has a long history in the United States, with written records dating back to the American colonial period.

At a time when the political and anthropological significance of Christianity is being hotly debated, Spirits of Protestantism forcefully argues for a reconsideration of the historical legacies and cultural effects of liberal Protestantism, even for the anthropology of religion itself.
