Our Guys
It was a crime that captured national attention. In the idyllic suburb of Glen Ridge, New Jersey, four of the town's most popular high school athletes were accused of raping a retarded young woman while nine of their teammates watched. Everyone was riveted by the question: What went wrong in this seemingly flawless American town? In search of the answer, Bernard Lefkowitz takes the reader behind Glen Ridge's manicured facade into the shadowy basement that was the scene of the rape, into the mansions on "Millionaire's Row," into the All-American high school, and finally into the courtroom where justice itself was on trial.

Loving Wings
Loving Wings is a lively account of stewardesses encountering passengers and problems since 1940, when pilots declared "Adding a woman to the crew is about as sensible as removing one of the wings," to the 1970s when these adventurous women become a mainstay of passenger service. "Flight Attendants are responsible for passenger safety and passenger service on each and every airline flight. They spend more face to face time with passengers than any other airline person.

Building Learning Communities with Character
Today's students need to learn more than just reading, writing, and arithmetic. They need to learn life skills to successfully manage tasks, form relationships, solve everyday problems, and adapt to the demands of simply growing up. To satisfy those needs, many educators seek effective and lasting programs for their students' academic, emotional, and social growth. This book presents a nine-step, problem-solving approach to help educators not only create such a program, but also shape the school climate to sustain and nurture it. Combining three decades of work with individual schools and districts, authors Bernard Novick, Jeffrey S. Kress, and Maurice J. Elias provide experienced insight to...

Phantom Revelation
Dr. Paul Francis is suddenly shaken out of his complacent academic world by an encounter with the mysterious Schuyler Tate and by the woman who had been stuck in his head and his heart since her student years, Kay Palmer. Paul and Kay are drawn together through their vague sense of the apocalyptic changes that seem to be crushing upon them. Paul reveals his past life through excerpts from his novel, while Kay's current thinking is revealed through her journal. With Kay, these changes are mixed up with her unbalanced mother, and, with Paul, they are mixed up with Kay. Meanwhile, Paul's colleague Michael Jenkins plummets towards insanity as a result of his obsession with what he perceives to be the muse of one of his female students, Tara Smith. Tara, however, seems to be oblivious to everything but her own needs. Although Paul, Kay, Michael, and Tara are separated at the end of a few short weeks, they reunite a little less than a year later. Their worlds collide, with Schuyler Tate seemingly pulling the strings. Phantom Revelation pushes the limits; blurring distinctions between love and obsession, sanity and insanity, and physical and spiritual reality.
