Weapons of Words
Stephen Fleischman doesnt know how to pull a punch as demonstrated by his hard hitting Sharp Jabs to the Head, his essays about the Bush Administration. Now, with his new collection of essays and stories, Weapons of Words, he really hits the target about where America is at present. And how we got here. And where we should go from here. You wont find any timidity in these pages. No cover ups. No excuses. But you will find some radical ideas and a radical perspective. Something fresh . Something apart from the reactionary ranting that has become the staple of talk radio and the right-wing television channels. Something with hope for a different direction. We all know that America is in trouble today. Serious trouble. Socially. Financially. Politically. And morally. Turning a blind eye to all these problems may be easier than facing them, leaving them for the next generation to deal with. But that option is long gone. Steve Fleischman has the courage to face this reality with hard facts and hard suggestions. And he never lets this grim situation wear him down. Take a look.
Short Jabs to the Head
In Short Jabs to the Head, the jabs are my words (each 1000, more or less) after being rope-a-doped on the Internet, and now aimed at your head, hoping to make an impact. I don't expect a knock-out every time-but I'm hoping . Left Hooks, are essays and stories of the leftward persuasion, hoping to achieve the same objective. Short Jabs to the Head should give you detailed close-ups of various aspects of the Bush Administration, like looking through someone's photo album who lived it. No Storm Troopers here, no Gestapo, no Sturm und Drang. In America, fascism creeps in on little cats' feet. But bit by bit Constitutional guarantees are erased by our sterling leader and his immoral shysters, more and more of them in secret signings under the claimed cover of National Security. And every day more government malfeasance is revealed (albeit reluctantly) by the timid media, Congressional investigations blocked with no or little outcry. How much longer can we stand it? This White House doesn't give a damn about written law. No, they just make their own, just as they claim to make their own reality. Worried? You damn well should be.

The Image Empire
During the iQSo's, in a frontier atmosphere of enterprise and sharp struggle, an American television system took shape. But even as it did so, itspioneers pushed beyond American borders and became programmers to scores of other nations. In its first decade United States television was already a world phenomenon. Since American radio had for some time had international ramifications, American images and sounds were radiatingfrom transmitter towers throughout the globe. They were called entertainment or news or education but were always more. They were a reflection of a growing United States involvement in the lives of other nationsan involvement of imperial scope. The role of broadcasters in this American expansion and in the era that produced it is the subject matter of The Image Empire, the last of three volumes comprising this study.
