Memories of Vmi
The memories of the pranks, woes, and joys collected in this volume were drawn from the cadet life at The Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, VA. All of the proceeds of this book are donated to the VMI Museum. Here's a sampling from Volume II: Double Trouble RB Lane, '75 I have two brother rats, who are identical twins, Barry and Larry Lineback. When I say identical, I mean identical. I roomed with Larry for two years, and it took me awhile to learn to tell them apart. During our first class year Larry would wait for a rat to come along and head up one of the stairways in barracks. He'd get up in the rat's face, flame him a bit, and challenge him to a race up the stairs to the third or...
Franz Kafka. Internationale Bibliographie der Primär- und Sekundärliteratur / International Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Literature. Band 1+2
Die vorliegende Bibliographie ist als erste ausschließlich Kafkas Werken und deren Übersetzungen gewidmet. Sie wurde in den USA zusammengestellt und soll dem Benutzer rasche Information über den gegenwärtigen Stand der Dinge geben. Mit dem Erscheinen der kritischen Werkausgabe im Laufe der Achtzigerjahre wird sich die Situation, besonders was Übersetzungen anbelangt, wohl sehr verändern. Die Bibliographie entstand aus der Erwägung heraus, daß bisher noch keine Bemühung darauf gerichtet war, in übersichtlicher Form Kafkas Werke und ihre Übersetzungen in andere Sprachen in einem Band zu vereinen. Es wurde möglichst vollständige Verzeichnung angestrebt, einschließlich der verschiedenen Auflagen und Übersetzungen. Es war zu erwarten, daß Kafkas Werke in die wichtigsten Weltsprachen übersetzt wurden. Das Erstaunliche ist aber, wie weit Kafka in Sprachbereiche eingedrungen ist, die keine globale Bedeutung haben. Gleichzeitig mußte man aber auch feststellen, daß es, genau genommen, eigentlich keine englische Gesamtausgabe von Kafkas Werken gibt.

The Good American
The last thing Major Ted Whitman expected in the summer of 1948 was to fall in love with Ruth Karstens, a destitute but spirited young widow with two small children. Recently divorced and newly stationed in Germany, his mind is set on a career as a fighter pilot. But when Ruth stands before him in her mended dress and her proud demeanor, begging him to get her passage to war-torn Berlin, he falls hard and is ready to do anything to help her. The Russians are about to blockade the city, and Ruth is determined to get her sister's child out before that happens. Fate, however, has other plans. Just as her train pulls out of the city, the Russians start the blockade, stop all transportation, and leave her stranded. Confident that ingenuity and pluck will help her to survive the journey home through enemy territory with a five-year-old, Ruth sets out on foot. Forty years later, fate brings Ted's son Alex and Ruth's daughter Penelope together. The memories they share of their parents weave a tapestry of courage, sacrifice, and of a love strong enough to survive insurmountable odds.
