"e;Looking for someone? Yes?"e;Clutching her snifter, Belinda gasped. An inaudible whisper escaped her lips. "e;Hein-Heiner Peterson?"e; She blinked.

"e;Who is asking?"e; she managed to say. The man smiled. "e;Austin Gordon,"e; he answered, extending his hand. She met his smile and took the hand that was offered. She shivered. Was it from the cognac she'd been drinking or was it from the man's intrusion? "e;Belinda Samuels,"e; she said, tossing her head back. "e;Pleased to meet you."e;Looking at her, the man saw a woman who'd just stepped off the cover of Vogue. Her red dress simple, unrevealing, yet revealing. Her beehive, the coiffure en vogue. "e;Likewise. I'm glad you came."e; Someone bumped her, pushing her forward. He caught her before she fell. She sagged. He felt the soft give of her body, and he tightened his hold. She immediately pulled back, but the dye was cast.

Risky readingSo how many family gatherings have been ruined by someone bringing up a particularly touchy subject and obnoxiously pressing it until relatives and friends either fled or committed assault and battery?How many Thanksgiving dinners have been spoiled by ugly political conversations or graphic descriptions of various medical problems?Well, Facebook is a lot like those family gatherings, except with a whole bunch of strangers invited. On Facebook, so-called friends do battle every day over all kinds of controversial issues, and things get so out of hand that often the most dreaded penalty imaginable in society today is imposed: "e;un-friending."e;Such a fate befell retired newspaper editor Dan Tolva, whose conservative political bent got him detached from the page of a beloved but passionately liberal granddaughter. As a result, Tolva, who has been posting on Facebook for several years with the object of compiling his pieces for an eventual book, decided to do just that. Here's the result, Politics, Religion and Other Stuff We're Not Supposed to Discuss in Polite Society. Most of the topics are volatile enough that this book probably should not be brought to your next family gathering. You have been warned.

His temporary cellmate Klaus Schmude recounts the harrowing tale of the young official disillusioned by the shocking realities of a rogue regime. Pacing his cell, Smolka is stunned by the death sentence he has just been handed. His attorney already knows that the decision by the kangaroo court is a foregone conclusion, yet he still encourages him to appeal the decision to the highest authorities in the land. Smolka then reflects on the circumstances of his illegal apprehension on West German soil, and his hellish months of detention marked by sleep deprivation and seemingly endless good cop/bad cop interrogations. The interplay between the present and the past continues as he recalls his upbringing and the ideological warfare employed by his East German trainers in preparing him for his career as a border guard. It is when he begins to question the validity of Stalinist ideology and its brutal practices that he develops a crisis of conscience. He concludes that his only acceptable choice is to escape to the West, which he successfully manages to do. Upon crossing the border, he is detained and questioned by West German authorities. They, in turn, hand him over to the Americans, who consider him a particularly valuable source of information about East German border installations. His kindly Jewish American interrogator soon releases him to enjoy his newly acquired freedom after making a brilliant connection between the brutalities of Hitler's national socialism and Stalinist totalitarian socialism. These brutalities included the occasional beheading of political prisoners with the identical guillotine used by both regimes. After a year of blissful freedom in West Germany, Smolka decides to rescue his wife and daughter from the GDR. Little did he realize that this decision would lead to such fateful consequences.

The author grew up in the very unique Old German Baptist Brethren Church, where he was immersed in wholehearted fundamental faith, and he shares details of the Brethren experience with an insider's affection. Yet for all their distinctiveness, these plain-living people nevertheless embrace the same biblical precepts and theology as multimillions of other Christians, so the broader questions and issues raised in this book address a wide audience from their familiar Christian point of view. Furthermore, the author speaks movingly of the Gospel and savior he loved in a way even non-Christians will appreciate. But why did this reluctant agnostic lose his beloved faith? And how do these same questions relate to you? This is an important discussion which is relevant to everyone who values truth and contemplates mortality. Join him as he explores the distinctions between science and faith, and wrestles with how we can know for sure what's really real.

Being in the fight game for over forty years, I thought that is was the perfect time to write a book to educate young athletes on the dos and don'ts of any sport, be it boxing or baseball, when entering into the professional ranks, as well as the business side of it. I have seen too many professional athletes make millions of dollars, only to wind up completely broke in many cases after their respected careers are over or, in some instances, even before they are over. In today's world of sports and business, you need to be educated on the many details that you do not get taught in the portals of higher education. The waters are infested with sharks who are looking to take advantage of many young athletes when it comes to finances and sports; it has been this way, especially in boxing, since the dawn of the sport. Unprotected will give you the insight and vision that you will need to navigate your career in a direction that will protect and educate you, so that you do not wind up as another professional athlete who makes the national news of going broke. All my best to you as you read this book, and may you be blessed no matter what endeavor you path that you choose in life.
