Book Description
Do you think your job is bad? You might go shopping for a Boss's Day gift after reading this calendar. Scott Adams, the creator of the comic strip "Dilbert," has compiled a frightening collection of workplace horror stories, many sent to him by witty and observant cubicle dwellers. There's the story of the boss who announces, "We should have lunch like this more often" at the going-away lunch for a downsized employee, of the fast-food cashier who asked if the customer wanted lettuce and tomato on his BLT, and of the office worker who "fixes" his computer when his black screen saver comes on by whacking the monitor. It's likely to give you a laugh each day, or at least make you grateful that your coworkers aren't quite as bad as the ones in this calendar.

Simply Hilarious.......2004-01-20
I'm a big Dilbert fan and a member of DNRC. Cubicle Hell sits on my shelf right next to the Dilbert cartoon calendar. It's one thing to get "true tales" like these in the periodic newsletters, but it's another thing entirely to be greeted with a new one each morning! This year is less than three weeks old and I'm already finding some favorites. Here's one - under the heading True Tales from Tech Support:
I asked a user if he was running his program under Windows. He said "No. My desk is by the door - but you know, you make a good point. Tony sits under a window and his program is working fine."
Book Description
Anthony Lane on Con Air—
“Advance word on Con Air said that it was all about an airplane with an unusually dangerous and potentially lethal load. Big deal. You should try the lunches they serve out of Newark. Compared with the chicken napalm I ate on my last flight, the men in Con Air are about as dangerous as balloons.”
Anthony Lane on
The Bridges of Madison County—
“I got my copy at the airport, behind a guy who was buying Playboy’s Book of Lingerie, and I think he had the better deal. He certainly looked happy with his purchase, whereas I had to ask for a paper bag.”
Anthony Lane on Martha Stewart—
“Super-skilled, free of fear, the last word in human efficiency, Martha Stewart is the woman who convinced a million Americans that they have the time, the means, the right, and—damn it—the duty to pipe a little squirt of soft cheese into the middle of a snow pea, and to continue piping until there are ‘fifty to sixty’ stuffed peas raring to go.”
For ten years, Anthony Lane has delighted New Yorker readers with his film reviews, book reviews, and profiles that range from Buster Keaton to Vladimir Nabokov to Ernest Shackleton.
Nobody’s Perfect is an unforgettable collection of Lane’s trademark wit, satire, and insight that will satisfy both the long addicted and the not so familiar.
Customer Reviews:
Types unusually well........2005-03-24
I absolutely adore Anthony Lane's writing. He is one of the joys of my life - too bad he wasn't around when I was a teen!!!
Light, witty, great summer reading.......2005-03-15
This is a great collection of bitingly astute reviews from the New Yorker. In addition to a good selection of classic and contemporary films, books, and personalities, this book offers the writing style best read aloud in a voice dripping with humorous disdain. Reading this may also give you a list of films you may have missed, so it's doubly enjoyable. In short this book is a place to turn when you've read your New Yorker too soon -- again.
........2004-08-20
Anthony Lane's reviews' reviews alone probably wouldn't tell you much. Opinion on him is so divided-- I know a ton of people who hate him, but to me he's the most reliably clever reviewer at the New Yorker. If I had read all these love-hate reviews, I wouldn't have gotten the book. I did though, and it put a spring in my step, it was so good. Don't be overly put off by the bad reviews. Or by the abundance of good ones either, it's really not hype, his writing is really very charming.
best in bite sized reads.......2004-05-30
A big, bloated and immensely enjoyable volume of Lane's collected writings; mostly movie reviews and essays on pop culture. Eminently quotable - though not exactly the easiest volume to tote along to the beach. I especially enjoyed the essay on "The Sound of Music," and the two on the bestsellers of today and yesteryear (I admire him for slogging through all those books that did not age gracefully and even more for admitting that he just could not get through several.) Unlike Ebert - who is a potato chip kind of movie critic easily absorbed but with no lasting nourishment - Lane's reviews often sound a deeper truth about how absurd the movie business - and society - is. It is especially fun to watch him taking aim at sacred cows and cherished pop icons alike. Ayn Rand, James Michener, Robin Williams, The Bridges of Madison County, and many more - watch out.
a good writer; a lousy critic.......2003-09-18
Anthony Lane is an exceptionally fine writer; some of his sentences make you gasp, they're so evocative. The problem is he's a lousy film critic. His taste is dubious: he liked "Saving Private Ryan" among other overblown rot. (For a much better consideration of 'Ryan,' see Tom Carson's piece, "And the Leni Riefenstahl Award for Rabid Nationalism Goes to. . ." It's probably the best take on the film.) Lane has no aesthetic, and he's really the "pop critic" that Pauline Kael was accused of being. Frankly, I can't read him now. While I often (in fact, mostly) disagree with John Simon and Stanley Kauffman, their appreciation of film is exemplary, their intelligence formidable. Lane just sounds smart and it's probably the biggest con-job perpetrated in film criticism. (You can bet that the people who praise him haven't read Simon or Kauffmann.)
It's hard to work out why Lane is a film critic; there's bound to be an art to which he's better suited - not just one he knows more about (his film knowledge is pretty thin), but one he has more passion for. You always got the feeling Kael was born to write about film; Lane is just doing a job in a smart aleck-y way. Hiring him was a significant mistake on the part of The New Yorker - it brought them more readers while it dumbed the magazine down. He's a fine stylist (he describes the opening segment of 'Ryan' as "speeded-up Bosch"), but there are a number of critics with much better taste. It must gall them that someone who pretty much came to film criticism by accident (and probably won't stay there) got the plum job in film criticism. It's also worth pointing out that Lane forgets appreciating art requires humility as well as intelligence. If you seek the best, read Kael's books, and if you want someone contemporary with better taste try Stephanie Zacharek, Michael Sragow, David Edelstein, Charles Taylor, or Terrence Rafferty.

A to Z Crossword Dictionary.......2007-09-26
Absolutely the best crossword puzzle dictionary on the market. I have worn out five copies over the years. I have bought others which have sat on the shelf, but this one I use every day. The best!!
very helpful.......2007-09-24
If you like doing crossword puzzles, this is the book for you. It has many updated things in it from the old book and well worth the price.
A crossword dictionary that I can actually use!.......2007-09-15
I enjoy doing the Sunday Washington Post crossword puzzles - but I'm not smart enough to complete one without a dictionary!! I had this dictionary years ago but through use it finally fell apart. I misplaced its name and bought another dictionary thinking all crossword dictionaries would be pretty much the same. Well, I don't know if it is just because I started with the original one I had but I found the next one (and then the next two) I bought were confusing to use. In some cases I had to search through multiple sections of the book to fine the item for which I was searching. I decided to finally look on Amazon to see if any of the front covers "rang a bell," and there it was. The dictionary arrived, and I am back to working through all the puzzles I have saved for the past year.
A to Z Crossword dictionary.......2007-09-03
It was just what I wanted. Great mailing service. Came way before I expected it.
well pleased.......2007-08-26
My husband wore out his first copy of this book. It was in pieces. We tried some other crossword dictionaries but they proved unsatisfactory.
He thinks this is by far the best of the books he has tried.

Book Description
Television can be imagined in a number of ways: as a profuse flow of images, as a machine that produces new social relationships, as the last lingering gasp of Western metaphysical thinking, as a stuttering relay system of almost anonymous messages, as a fantastic construction of time. Richard Dienst engages each of these possibilities as he explores the challenge television has posed for contemporary theories of culture, technology, and media.
Five theoretical projects provide Still Life in Real Time with its framework: the cultural studies tradition of Raymond Williams; Marxist political economy; Heideggerian existentialism; Derridean deconstruction; and a Deleuzian anatomy of images. Drawing lessons from television programs like Twin Peaks and Crime Story, television events like the Gulf War, and television personalities like Madonna, Dienst produces a remarkable range of insights on the character of the medium and on the theories that have been affected by it.
From the earliest theorists who viewed television as a new metaphor for a global whole, a liberal technology empty of ideological or any other content, through those who saw it as a tool for consumption, making time a commodity, to those who sense television’s threat to being and its intimate relation to power, Dienst exposes the rich pattern of television’s influence on philosophy, and hence on the deepest levels of contemporary experience.
A book of theory, Still Life in Real Time will compel the attention of all those with an interest in the nature of the ever present, ever shifting medium and its role in the thinking that marks our time.

Television Theory Rewritten.......1998-09-25
Television Studies is now booming institutionally if not intellectually. The banality of many of the cloned analyses of particular shows or the remedial narrative accounts of available approaches to television texts has unwittingly contributed to the naturalization of the technology itself. This text is the antidote. Dienst's book provides a series of fresh, beautifully written re-readings of the work of key thinkers (including Marx, Heidegger, Raymond Williams, Deleuze, and Derrida) in terms of television theory. His re-examination of Marx's theory of value "after television" shows us the continuing explanatory power of Capital and Grundrisse. Never reductive and always stimulating, this book offers more starting points for critical students of television than any recent text. What is more, this is "theory" at its best, opening up new ways of thinking about the ownership, value and significations in contemporary culture. This is a "breakthrough" book -- read it!
Book Description
Lasting Valor tells of some of the most dramatic acts of courage attempted in the entire Mediterranean theater during WWII–acts that resulted in Baker’s being awarded the Purple Heart, a Bronze Star and Distinguished Service Cross. On April 15, 1945, as part of one of the last segregated outfits to go to war for the United States, Lieutenant Baker knew he and his men were being deserted when, during the battle for Castle Aghinolfo in Northern Italy, his white commander told him he was going for reinforcements. Caught three miles behind enemy lines, and with half their comrades in arms dead, they refused to turn and run. Although he was decorated for his efforts, the army quietly surpressed this action until 1997, when Baker was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton.
Lasting Valor also reveals Baker’s early life. An orphan raised by grandparents in nearly all-white Cheyenne, Wyoming, he survived a rocky adolescence and went on to live in Father Flanagan’s Home, and then to fight to join a segregated army. His years in the army are recounted, and give us a rare glimpse into the life of a World War II black infantryman. It is a powerful book; as The Washington Post praised: “Whites should read this book to learn of Baker's accomplishments against a background of severe prejudice. Blacks should read it for the heroism it reveals. Everybody should read it for the power of its narrative."
Customer Reviews:
GREAT STORY, SHODDY PRINTING/BINDING.......2006-03-02
This is an inspiring story about one of the TRUE heroes of the United States, honored (much too late) both at home and abroad. That being said, Bantam Books should be ASHAMED of the absolutely SHODDY, INFERIOR quality of this paperback edition! When I opened my NEW copy, the first page in the photograph section fell out, which led me to look more closely at that section. The pictures are so poorly reproduced that many, if not most, of them are barely recognizable as photographs! Bantam Books has given this Great American Hero, Mr. Vernon J. Baker, the same disgraceful treatment that the U.S. Army gave him for so many years. Reprehensible and unconscionable!
It's Not What Happens to You: It's What You Do With It.......2002-11-04
I purchased this book to tap into the life lessons of another black leader.
And I really gained more than I expected. Vernon Baker talks about race, and how being Black during WWII, while in the army also meant having to work harder to prove yourself than his white commanders had to.
While these racial problems still exist everywhere, and everyday, on many levels, the difference is that Baker's behind, and everyone one of his troop's behind was on the line, just because they had to make a difference in times when their white leaders used them to cover up the fact that they were cowards. To be in, and part of the team, if you will, they had to be braver than their cowardly commanders who really didn't want them there.
Another interesting point in this story is, "The American Army mostly ignored its black combat troops along the Western Front while the French hailed their valor and awarded the Cross of War, to every member of three all-black regiments. Most American history books fail to record any of this, and the Army certainly didn't bring it up."
"Lasting Valor," he gives details that weaving WWII battles, his Wyoming upbringing, and the women who came into his life (his traditionally thinking male identity), into one story that will touch everyone's heart.
Also, this book ends in a message similar to Herman Wouk's message, from "War and Remembrance," when it states, "War, however, is the most regrettable proving ground. For the sake of my nineteen comrades, I hope no man, black, white, or any color, ever again has the opportunity to earn the Medal of Honor. War is not honor. Those who rush to launch conflict, and those who seek to create heroes from it, should remember war's legacy. You have to be there to appreciate its horrors. And die to forget them."
I'd love to see this book become required reading for high school students, throughout America.
Lasting Valor had a profound influence on me.......2000-05-14
I love this book and had a hard time putting it down. At first it was just a little slow, but quickly picked up its pace.
It is so vividly written that, though I am white, I felt Baker's experiences along with him. I felt the sting of anger when a bus driver told him to get to the back of the bus and when the colonel told him to take off the DSC ribbon. I felt his anguish at leaving the Italian woman in Italy, and the joy he derived from his children. This book deserves to be a best seller.
An excellent read.......1999-04-09
A must read for a different view of WWII from the perspective of a black American army officer. Great addition to a high school or college course.
A compelling read.......1998-06-22
Without gushing unnecessarily, this is a hell of a book. It's full of rich details that etch vivid images -- from life in rural Wyoming to bloody combat -- and also has a quiet irony and humor that take some of the bitterness out of Baker's tale. A really readable book; not something you read because you should, but because Baker and his story capture you and make you want to find out what happened next. A good read.

Book Description
As an immediate response, to a threat from Hanoi and the Viet Cong concerning the well-being of American POW's, the United States put into place men and means to help the plight of Americans held by the enemy. TIGER CAGE is the story of that effort, the Americans who did it, the Americans who fouled it, and the lie that lives on as the truth.

A Primary reason for American's Defeat in Viet Nam.......2007-10-01
After 34 years service as a police officer, foreign police advisor and prison police officer I can attest to the truth contained in "Tiger Cage". I would change the sub-title to "An Inconvienent Truth". At 72 years of age I am disconcerted by the re-rage I felt while reading the Bordenkircher book.
I am one of the victims of the slaughter of the Office Of Public Safety - and although I survived and eventually retired after my service - I am amazed that I can still feel a pain in my throat and in my heart at the terrible injustice caused by the surrender in Viet Nam.
In 1967 I volunteered for the foreign police advisory service in Viet Nam while on a "rising star" path at the Phoenix Police Department. While in Washington D.C. for orientation the brass discovered that I could speak Spanish so they diverted me to Latin America.
However, I am fully cognizant of the perfidious lying and misrepresentation that caused the demise of the Foreign Police Advisory Program.(Office of Public Safety)
Don Bordenkircher and his beautiful wife Shirley have produced a very important history lesson in their book. It is interesting to note that most persons agree, "knowing history can help prevent past mistakes". I have provided copies of the Tiger Cage for my children in the hopes they (and others) will absorb what can happen when the lib's control the press and they in turn incite panic with lies causing the Congress to go ballistic.
America lost the war in Viet Nam - but we never lost a battle there! Carter gave away Iran at a time when that country was well on the road to democracy. Carter did the same thing in Nicaragua and then for good measure gave away the Panamá canal.

Brought back some memories.......2005-03-16
Sure brought back some memories and ignited a frustration that I thought was long dormant.
I especially enjoyed the introduction to the book. I think it should be required reading at the Foreign
Service Institute (fat chance) and every criminal justice school in America.
I often wonder if the Liberal News media ever fully understand or for that matter even care what these
people did and the problems they have caused to other foreign countries. And to think that some of those
responsible phony's are still in Washington and still spewing that same old venom.
Guess my career in Criminal Justice holding assignments in everything from arrest to release has caused me to be a bit conservative, but I don't apologize. Well done.
It's time you knew the truth..............2003-04-09
From 1967 to 1972, Don Bordenkircher was a senior adviser to the director of South Vietnam's correction system. He was tasked to help reform, improve, and update Southern Vietnam's 41 correctional centers including Con Son prison (location of the Tiger Cages).
As could be expected, the centers that he surveyed had a myriad of problems ranging from bad to deplorable and in great need of care. Bordenkircher and his fellow assistants, in the time that they had, did make significant strides in improving the overall situation but not without sacrifice. On Con Son island, the center there had detention cells known as Tiger Cages for the most unruly and problematic of the inmates. These holding areas were deemed adequate by most known standards at the time considering their location.
Unfortunately, that's not what was told and shown to the world by an unscrupulous and damning media sideshow. In 1970, a congressional delegation made up of Congressmen Gus Hawkins and William Anderson, then aide Tom Harkins (now Senator Harkins), and journalist Don Luce, visited Con Son Island on a "fact finding mission", so to speak. Their ulitmate aim was to exploit the Tiger Cages in an inflammatory way using distortions, lies, deceit and misinformation. The story manufactured by the delegation was to the effect that the Con Son Tiger Cages were barbaric and that prison conditions on the island were horrific in every way. Contrary to the facts.
After selling this piece of fiction to the media, a firestorm of controversy ensued and probably at no worse a time as the anti-American sentiment of the Vietnamese war was already at a boiling point. Subsequent attempts to reveal the complete truth to the world was shunned by the U.S. government and the mainstream media.
Despite the destructive criticism and propaganda thrown at Don Bordenkircher and his team, they continually fought an uphill battle for the remainder of their time in Vietnam and were able to make some large strides for the betterment of the South Vietnamese correction system.
Tiger Cage is a well written and documented book and a hidden chapter of the Vietnam war that absolutely needed to be told. Much credit is due to Don and Shirley Bordenkircher for their courage and perseverance and honesty in bringing this to story to light. This is a highly recommended read.
A Passionate Memoir.......2000-04-23
Donald E. Bordenkircher, like many veterans of the Vietnam War, waited over twenty years to write his personal memoir. Not a soldier in the traditional sense, he served as a police advisor who supervised and administrated the complicated Vietnamese policing effort throughout South Vietnam during the war years. The author was a civilian advisor and part of the Phoenix/ICEX program about which much negative reporting emanated from Vietnam late in the war and was directly connected with the civilian prison on Con Son Island. This fascinating and well documented book is his bitter response to what he believes was a deliberate attempt by America's antiwar radicals to distort what really took place in the advisory effort which not only turned hard won success into failure but also played directly into the hands of North Vietnam's propaganda machine.
Unlike civilian policing at home Bordenkircher was faced with several classes of prisoners other than common criminals: military offenders, mostly deserters from the South Vietnamese Army; communist prisoners who were captured unarmed but were known sympathizers with the National Liberation Front; members of the covert Viet Cong Infrastructure, and other categories of prisoners who presented direct challenges to the sovereignty of the government of South Vietnam (48-51). For anyone who studies the intricacies of the Vietnam War seriously, this book acts as an essential tool that brings to light the successes, failures, and in-fighting within the State Department rather than the military or the covert world of spies and evil-doers.
A different slant on an incident of the Vietnam War........1999-09-04
The book is a personal, first-hand account of the tiger cage incident of the Vietnam War. This event filled the screens and newspapers of American TV and reinforced a basic negative view of US involvement in the war. The author tells a well documented saga of the realities of Vietnam; the politics involved; events leading up to the revelation of the "Tiger Cages"; and the aftermath. I thought it was written in a positive and patriotic, yet truthful manner. I appreciated that at the outset, the author said there was a web of agencies involved, each with different initials and that could be burdensome, but not to get bogged down in them and to refer to the appendix where they are clearly listed. If you keep that in mind and concentrate on the people involved and their dedication, it reads easily. It's redeeming reading for those who served in the war; fascinating for the history buffs; and reinforcing to those who are are cynical about politics.

Awesome.......2007-05-13
This guy's got it right on. Too bad the politicians that get elected don't see what's really happened in this country.
What You Don't Know About the Constitution Could Fill This Book.......2007-01-03
He may not be a good politician (as he comes off as abrasive in his political discussion) but he is one hell of an author. This book systematically takes apart the Constitution article by article, amendment by amendment, section by section, verse by verse to analyze the Constitution. He does not just interpret the text, he gives you historical background on all the items.
At the end of the book he also lists all the books he has read which contributed to this book. I have started in on them and have liked them all. I have come away with a better understanding of America and the Constitution
Every American should read this book.......2007-01-03
Every American who still wants to protect this country should read this book. It will help them uderstand what the Founding Fathers wanted when The United States of America was founded, and why.
I also think it should be required reading in all of our High Schools.
William A. Roscoe
Must Read.......2006-12-21
If you even think you love your country then this book is must reading. Badnarik explains our Republican system of government as it was intended to be practiced. Only with an educated populace can we ever hope to reclaim our Federal government, retame it, and MAKE it perform as it should. I would love to see American History professors put this book on their reading list for their students.
I am back to buy 5 more copies.......2005-11-11
I think I have bought a total of 12 here at Amazon. I hope they are being read. I am trying to get this book in all my area libraries, even if I am donating them all a few at a time. I hope he is writing the sequel as he is getting his campaign for Congress under way (TX Dist. 10.)
