In this book Virginia Carmichael offers a provocative new interpretation of the Rosenberg story. Carmichael argues that this social drama produced many stories serving multiple interests and functions, many of which confront the politics of both writing and reading. She also demonstrates that this story's resistance to closure-manifest in its repeated tellings in historiography, biography, literature, and the visual and performing arts-suggests its lasting cultural impact on a nation coming to terms with the end of the cold war era.
When the American Bar Association recreated the trial of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg on the fortieth anniversary of their execution, the jury acquitted the "mock Rosenbergs," finding that in today's courts they would not have been convicted of espionage. The 1950s trial of the Rosenbergs on charges of "Atomic Spying" and "stealing the secrets of the Atomic bomb" was a major event of Cold War America, galvanizing public opinion on all sides of the question. Secret Agents presents essays by lawyers, cultural critics, social historians and historians of science, as well as a reconsideration of the Rosenbergs by their younger son, Robert Meeropol. Secret Agents gives new resonance to a history we have for too long been willing to forget.

After a passionate but pure courtship, Nancy Fowler anticipated uninhibited sexual bliss in her marriage to Greg Christenson. She couldn't have been more surprised and bewildered when, once the vows were said, 'someone turned off the passion switch.' Made in Heaven, Fleshed Out on Earth opens with the author's misguided stumblings through the wilderness of the Christian singles scene (Chasing Mr. Wrong), continues through the heady and supernatural adventures of Finding Mr. Right, and arrives at Ever After, where the bride and groom make their unhappy discovery: the landscape doesn't look anything like what either of them imagined. Believing, however, that every marriage is Made in Heaven and that God is a very present help as His design is Fleshed Out on Earth, they journey on together, choosing to trust that God will eventually cause them to triumph. Indeed He does, in the eleventh year of their marriage, sovereignly bringing enduring wholeness and freedom into their love life. Nancy Fowler Christenson's story is both an inspiration and a caution to young singles, and a rekindling of faith and hope to husbands and wives still struggling on that journey.
