Dear Milkman

Customer Reviews:

A gentle and tasty serving of twentieth-century Americana.......2005-02-05

Dear Milkman: Notes From Housewives is a wry look at the era of the milkman, all but vanished in the contemporary confluence of supermarkets yet once a daily staple of American life. Chapters survey the nature of this profession in its heyday, from competition to billing schedules to remarkable incidents such as one milkman's brave rescue of children from a fire. A wealth of brief primary sources are the highlights of Dear Milkman, which focuses upon actual notes left to milkmen from their customers, from notes written in poetry to atrociously bad English. A gentle and tasty serving of twentieth-century Americana. One sample note reads, "Please bear with us / Oh Sunrise man / We've gone to get / A Sunrise tan. / We like your milk, / This we must say, / But if you please / No milk today."

Sometimes sad, sometimes triumphant, Once Around the Bases is a nicely told study in perspective: one man's dream--making it to the Majors --is another's failure--getting to play in only one game. Richard Tellis profiles 40 of the roughly 150 of those still living who may have sipped "a cup of coffee" (baseball lingo for a short stay in the Majors), but never got to gulp it down. Their tales are alternately proud, such as White Sox catcher Dutch Fehring holding his ground and tagging a sliding Lou Gehrig out at the plate, and poignant, such as Yankee pitcher Roger Slagle, flush with the adrenaline of hurling two perfect innings in his debut, casually rolling the ball to a young fan sitting behind the dugout. "He was happy as I was at the time," Slagle recalls. "It wasn't until I got in the clubhouse that I realized I had given away my game ball.... I never dreamed that I wouldn't get the chance to pitch again." He did get it once, though, which separates him, and the others featured in Once Around the Bases, from the overwhelming majority of baseball dreamers.

One of the All-Time great baseball books!.......1999-02-20

Dick Tellis gives us the stories of players who "came up to the show" for only a few brief moments...but what moments! Whether they struck out or won the game, Dick Tellis captures the feeling most of us only dream about. The sadness of only getting one shot, but also the glory of having that one shot, is treated with great skill from someone who must have also shared in that dream. One of the great baseball books of all time, and one I highly recommend.

Very open comments with regard to their experiences........1998-07-21

I enjoyed the book, having gone through many of the anxieties and disappointments the players went through. However, I noticed a couple of errors that I would like to mention. On Page 110 of the Bert Shepard segment, you describe the P-38 as the Thunderbolt. I believe the P-38 was known as Lightening. The P-47 was known as the Thunderbolt.

On page 174 of the Guy Morton segment, you say that Chattanooga was a member of the Sally League. I remember this team, Managed by Cal Ermer as being in the Class AA Southern Association in 1956.

Finally, I would like to contact Maurice Fisher. We were teammates in 1955 with the San Francisco Seals. He lives some forty five miles north of Columbus, Ohio. Can you give me his exact address?

I have been trying to get the Box scores for August and September 1954. Can you help me?

A Good Read But Not a Homer.......1998-07-06

Once Around the Bases is a good read but falls short of what it could have been. Tellis starts with a great idea, interviewing players that came to the show for a "cup of coffee." However, many of the stories rely on who they met rather than their own struggles. Tellis may have limited himself too much to players that only played one game. A sequel on players that lasted a few months or a single season might gel a little better. The chapter layout makes it a good book to read when you don't have time to read. All in all though its a good book.

Those Great Cowboy Sidekicks is an in-depth examination of such fondly remembered comic character actors as George "Gabby Hayes, Smiley Burnette, Andy Devine, Al "Fuzzy" St. John, Pat Buttram, and many other sidekicks of the B-Westerns-39 in all. Much of the book is told through the reminiscences of the sidekicks themselves and the cowboy stars who enjoyed the company of these often bewhiskered, tobacco-chewing saddle pals. Author David Rothel interviewed many of the top Western stars, sidekicks, heroines, directors, writers, relatives and Gower Gulch extras in his effort to tell the story of these comic actors.

We all know every sidekick was a scene stealer, you could just sit back and watch all the fun unfold in each scene...remember the likes of Pat Brady, Smiley Burnette, Andy Clyde, Leo Carrillo, Andy Devine, Gabby Hayes, Raymond Hatton, Fuzzy Knight, Al Fuzzy St. John and Dub Taylor were all personal favorites of mine growing up with "Saturday Morning Matinee", or running to the local theater when they'd showed three films on the weekend nights (all B-Westerns)...many sidekicks took a back seat to the hero, but there were times when the comic relief made the difference for a bad film and you left the "flick" feeling good...where we'd be without them.

My favorite side-kick of all time was George "Gabby" Hayes from the early days of John Wayne, Bill Boyd (Hoppy), Roy Rogers, Wild Bill Elliott (Red Ryder) and Randolph Scott films...Mr. "Gabby" Hayes could do no wrong in my eyes. He and I even agreed on not liking girls, he would call them "purr-snickergardy" women...and I totally agreed with him at the tender age of nine years old. Gabby could not only make me laugh, but also make me cry...his code of fair play was his bond, and he was always there when the hero needed a helping..."you're durn tootin'"...he always gave us the impression that he was having the time of his life.

Hats off to our friends at Empire Publishing as Mr. David Rothel puts down on paper without a doubt the best book commemorating the actors and their rare talent that helped make the B-Western great...Rothel shares many facts inclusive within their own individual sections in the book...things have only now come to light as Rothel answers many questions about the B-Western era...If you're into the memories of the B-Western, this is the one you've been anxiously waiting for...and saddle pals, it was well worth the wait...another winner from David Rothel (one of my favorite authors) and Empire Publishing...gotta love it!

Book Description

The supermarket tabloids have been the strongest influence of the past hundred years on the overall direction and philosophy of America's mass media. Tabloid veteran Bill Sloan tells why it happened, how it happened, and who made it happen. He explains how the supermarket tabloids have affected all of us--even if we've never so much as picked one up on our way through the checkout line.

Customer Reviews:

Inside View Of Tabloid Journalism.......2007-03-04

"I Watched A Wild Hog Eat My Baby" is an inside account of the rise of the supermarket tabloids in American culture, written by a veteran of tab editorial staffs. No doubt because of that, it suffers from the same flaws, full of innuendo and rumor-mongering, giving you a juicy if never solid story.

At the heart of Bill Sloan's book, published in 2001, is Generoso Pope Jr. In 1952 he bought a nearly-defunct Hearst paper called the New York Enquirer. Remaking it into a scandal sheet called the National Enquirer, he made a mint by printing stories no respectable newspaper publisher would want and paying reporters and editors well above the market norm to ease any pangs of conscience they might have.

Pope was a mysterious guy with reputed connections to the CIA and Mafia. What precisely those connections were, or what they might have meant, is one of many things Sloan leaves unexplored. In many cases, as when he discusses Pope's involvement with the attempted assassination of Mob boss Frank Costello, Sloan raises the question only to firmly assert: "No one will know for sure, of course."

Sloan does this a lot in the book. He also quotes numerous unnamed sources when discussing the most salacious details of his story, something he no doubt picked up from his years writing for the Enquirer and wanna-bes like Midnight (now the Globe). He allows himself the unusual device of quoting people like Pope not from interviews or even memories of past conversations with them, but conversations he was told about by third parties, now dead. Once a tabloid writer, always a tabloid writer.

Most of Sloan's quotes seem to be pulled from articles published in mainstream newspapers and magazines, making it a bit of a clip job when its not pulling quotes out of thin air. Only 12 people are listed by name as being interviewed, though Sloan assures us this is because American Media Inc., the publisher of all supermarket tabloids today, will not allow anyone in their employ to talk to him on the record.

The only thing that kept me from giving this book one star is a hilarious middle chapter, which describes how a series of drunken story meetings at one tab facing the scrap heap and deciding what the hell led directly to the most outré element of supermarket tabloids, what became the UFO, Bigfoot, and Elvis subculture cornered today by Weekly World News and referenced in this book's title. That part shows Sloan had a better book in him if he only worked harder at it.

The stories contained here are more icky than fun. Whatever insight offered on the tabs' dominating focus on celebrities, and how that focus trickled up to mainstream media, isn't anything you can't see for yourself watching Entertainment Tonight or clicking on The Drudge Report. For the most part, Sloan is content to tell you everything you already know, and nothing else he bothers to pin down with any authority.

Where is the CIA info.......2004-05-25

"I Watched a Wild Hog EAT My Baby!!!" by Bill Sloan, reviewed by Tim
Cridland

I just speed read the new tabloid book published by Prometheus Press. I
checked it out from the LA Public Library and read most of it in one day.

The name of the book is I Watched a Wild Hog EAT My Baby!!! and it is
written by Bill Sloan, who apparently worked for a few of the tabloids in
the 70s.

There a few things that are in this book that I haven't seen elsewhere. One
is a thorough background of Generoso Pope Sr., showing his strong ties to
both the Mafia and support of Mussolini and Fascism.

In case you don't know, Pope Sr. is the father of Gene Pope Jr., founder or
the National Enquirer and inventor of the supermarket tabloid.

Sloan also verifies beyond all doubt that the National Enquirer was started
with money given or loaned by long time Pope family associate and mobster
Frank Costello.

Sloan also verifies that the Mafia influence of the National Enquirer
continued well into the 70s

Sloan doesn't give any new insight into the Pope Jr.'s CIA background. He
also seems to know little of Midnight publisher Joe Azaria's Mafia
connections, other than saying that there were reports that he had casual
contact with the Montreal Mob. In fact, there is an article from the
Montreal Gazette about Azaria where he openly admits his mob connections,
and claims to be working on a book about it. I have this article in my
files.

Sloan gives a huge amount of information about the group of tabloids that
were published in the Chicago area, of which the National Tattler is the
most remembered. Strangely, there were no connections to the Mafia or CIA
here.

on page 106 Midnight editor John Vader describes how he faked a photo for
the Midnight issue with the headline: JFK IS ALIVE ON SKORPOIS! I mention
this because the Gemstone File claims that this is actually a photo of the
kidnapped Howard Hughes. John Vader says it is staff writer on top of Monte
Royal in Montreal at sunset.

One strange thing is that Sloan makes no reference to James Randi. Randi
used to work for Midnight when he was working as a phony psychic in Montreal
nightclubs. Randi wrote and astrology column and apparently designed the
masthead for Midnight. His name is clearly seen as the artists signature on
the earliest edition of Midnight that I could find at the Quebec Library.
When I E-mailed Randi about his tabloid days, he E-mailed back saying that
it was so long ago that he hardly remembered anything. However, in an
interview with Randi in Skeptic Magazine, he was able to vividly remember
his teenage years, a time presumably before he worked at Midnight.
Prometheus Books, Sloan's publisher, also publishes several books by Randi,
making Randi's omission all the stranger.

All and all, it is a good book with lots of hard to find info and well worth
checking out from a public library.

The horror of learning the truth.......2003-10-03

The true horror about this book was learning how The National Enquirer, Star, etc. are now not only not competitors, but all housed in the same building. Then it gets even grimmer when you read how The National Enquirer is trying to go legit...It's all so shocking and sickening. Who wants to read about death as a result of idiot guidance and ownership? Just turned my stomach and, quite frankly, made me sad. Honestly, I'd noticed for quite some time that the Star was losing its edge and this book explained why. It's a case of "fixing something that ain't broke." The owner and his team are trying to change what the rest of the media is trying to copy. Shadow-boxing with what?

Most current, and comprehensive, history of tabloids.......2001-10-14

This extensively-researched history of American tabloids was released in 2001, the only post-1999 tabloid book so far. That's relevant, because since 1999 all major tabloids (Enquirer, Star, Globe, Examiner, Mira, Sun, Weekly World News) have been under single ownership. Some tabloid critics lament that this has undermined the tabloids' traditional competitiveness, and significantly altered their editorial policies and news coverage.

Anything written about tabs a decade earlier would be woefully out-of-date. As Sloan comments, the 1990s have seen the "tabloidization" of mainstream media. The major media have usurped the tabs' turf, creating what Sloan calls an "identity crisis" among tabloid editors and reporters, who must now compete directly against major media in search of scandalous type celebrity news, whereas in the past the major media shunned such stories.

Sloan analyzes how such 1990s news stories as OJ, the death of Princess Di, and "Bill and Monica" affected news coverage by the tabloids and their mainstream competition.

There are some other good tabloid books, several written by "insiders" like Sloan, but this is the only tabloid history that's up-to-date, and relevant to today and the near future.

Author Bill Sloan was an editor at the Globe and Enquirer, and a Pulitzer-nominated reporter for the Dallas Times-Herald.

Providing insider's insights into the strange business.......2001-05-19

We all let our eyes at least wander to tabloid newspaper headlines in the supermarket; but ever wonder who's behind them? Finally: here's an expose of the personalities who built the tabloids, with interviews by Bill Sloan providing insider's insights into the strange business. From roots of the tabs in soft-core smut to their current focus on celebrity sensationalism, pop culture is presented at its best - and most outrageous - in a zany story. I Watched A Wild Hog Eat My Baby: A Colorful History Of Tabloids And Their Cultural Impact is especially commended to the attention of students in Journalism, American Popular Culture, and anyone who has ever plucked one up while in a supermarket checkout counter.

Simple explanation.......2007-08-30

You have no need to worry all the unknown terms, alien language, confusing words that you might have found in the other books. Here, you will get simple explanations about every term used around Active Directory. It's a good one.. I like it =)

Greatest thing since sliced bread.......2002-12-17

When Microsoft took an elegant simple schema from UNIX and redesigned it into a convoluted might mare called "Active Directory" it was time for this book. Turns out that "Active Directory" is not active or a directory; who would have guessed? Well this book starts you off with correcting concepts and even lets you know that with the new terminology that the definition of "domain" has been changed.
A lot of time Dummies books are too busy being cute; this one however is so packed with helpful information that it does not have time to be cute. This book takes you from ground zero to up and running while helping avoid common pit falls.

A great little book.......2001-03-23

One of my students told me about this book and brought it to class. I hadn't expected so much technical content from a Dummies book. This little book really should be the starting point for anyone interested in Active Directory.

A decent book of negligible usefulness.......2000-10-14

The fantastic complexity of Windows 2000 Active Directory almost makes the title of this book an oxymoron. Win2K presents a huge paradigm shift to network administrators, since the Active Directory is a completely new, radically different beast from what Windows NT was. Understanding AD and how it works takes patience...it isn't accidental that there are 1000+ page books out there on setting up and maintaining an AD infrastructure. This book doesn't aim to help you do specific tasks in AD, but what it does very well is explain in basic terms what AD is and does, how it it structured, and give you the frame of reference you need before you delve further in. But I'm not sure how many people need to [pay] for this book when there are other books out there that deal much more extensively in the workings of AD. The bottom line is that computer enthusiasts curious about the central feature of Win2K and newbie administrators of Win2K who have little or no experience with NT4 will find it a useful primer on AD. For anyone else, it's probably better to put the [money] toward one of the more detailed, albeit less plainspoken, AD guides.

A Good, Simple Overview or Refresher.......2000-05-21

Doing Active Directory right was important to my small technology company, so I bought more than ten books on Active Directory, Windows 2000 Server, and DNS. This Dummies book I took home and planned to skim through it first, thinking it would be a nice quick introduction.

The book got mislaid, and I did not pick it up again until I was nicely up to speed with Active Directory and had done several installations. I read it anyway on a Saturday night as a quick review and was surprised at the clear style, nice organization, and adequacy of its coverage of the subject matter.

If you have just a day or two to get up to speed with this important new Microsoft technology, this book will certainly do. System administrators and architects will want a more technical treatment.

An entertaining and informative guide to haunted castles around the globe.

Customer Reviews:

Hauntings?.......2007-07-23

A great book that is informative, but would like it to have more substance and more ghost phenomena written down for the castles. it feels like a quick run down of certain local tourist hotspots, and does not give much information about the particular hauntings that go on at the locales.

Guide book? Sure. Ghost book? Not really........2006-04-18

Castles and ghosts go hand in hand, we all know that. Every castle ever built, it seems, appears to have its own White Lady, its own ghosts walking the gloomy halls at night frightening the people who happen to see them, and their own myths and legends about gruesome deaths and unhappy love.

This becomes extra clear after having read through Haunted Castles of the World. Every chapter looks the same; Coulombe begins by offering a short description of the history of the castle and its inhabitants, followed by stories about different ghosts and how they have appeared throughout the centuries, and the chapter is then closed with a lively remark and the address and contact information in case the reader too wants to go there and see what all the fuzz is all about.

Which is both good and bad. It's good because you'll always learn where the castle is, what ghost or ghosts it has, and how to contact the owners if you want to go there yourself. But at the same time it's pretty dull, because you really don't learn very much about the ghostly phenomena themselves. The book is actually more of a history book than a ghost book, because the chapters all have a lot more text dealing with history than with ghosts. And also, there's no bibliography whatsoever, not even when the author uses direct quotes, and all in all the entire book very easily feels boring and repetitive.

But on the other hand, it's written as a guide book about different castles and their ghosts all over the world - England, Scotland, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and much more - and as such a book it works perfectly. As long as you're aware of the fact that it's a guide book you probably won't get disappointed, but if you want to learn more about the ghost phenomenon itself you're a lot better off picking a different book.
