A sweeping overview of world affairs and, especially having come across the name of William Yandell Elliott, Professor of Politics at Harvard through the first half of the 20th century. Sean found that Elliott had created a kindergarten of Anglo-American imperialists amongst his students, who included Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Samuel P. Huntington, and McGeorge Bundy. Upon further investigation, Sean came to understand Elliott's own integral role, connecting the modern national-security establishment with the British Round Table Movement's design to re-incorporate America into the British 'empire'. Whether that goal was achieved will be left to the reader to decide. However, it cannot be denied that W.Y. Elliott's life and intellectual history serves to demonstrate the interlocking relationship between academia, government, and big business.

"Sean Stone's The Ephemeral Shades of Time is an evocatively moving book of poetry. More than once, his musings had me head down to my desk in contemplation, with inspired smiles. Smiles for the fearlessness of his courage to pursue the very nature and essence of 'Soul.' From grief amid the tombstones of Sarajevo to the camps of Somalia, the visceral and metaphysical force of his imagery leaves one mindful of the pain and anguish often lost in the shadows of memory. You're asked to 'elope from the clutches of despair' and to celebrate what transcends human nature. His poems reward us with hope, and with the profound realization, 'could love by way of the heart be our link to the soul?'" --Ja...
