Allfhin In His Preface To This Volume: "without Glossing Over The Fragility And Brokenness Of Man's Experience Of Life In Time, He Managed To Reaffirm The Great Unities Of Christian Faith And Prayer. These Are The Unities Which Draw Together The Separated Strands In The Christian Heritage, Which Draw Together Past And Present In A Living An Creative Appropriation Of Tradition. "

    Stroheim
    17740653372
      Stroheim.
      Erich Von Stroheim (1885-1957) Was One Of The True Giants In American Film History. Stubborn, Arrogant, And Colorful, He Saw Himself As A Cinema Artist, Which Led To Numerohs Conflicts With Producers And Studio Executives Who Complained About The Inflated Budgets And Extraordinary Length Of His Films. Stroheim Achieved Great Notoriety And Success, But He Was So Uncompromising That He Turned His Triumph Into Failure. He Was Banned From Ever Directing Again And Spent The Remainder Of His Life As An Actor. For Years Stroheim's Life Has Been Wreathed In Myths, Many Of His Own Devising. Arthur Lennig Scoured European And Ameridan Archives Fir Details Concerning The Life Of The Actor And Director, And He Counters Several Long-accepted And Oft-repeated Claims. Stroheim's Tales Of Military Undergo Are Almost Completely Fictitious; The “von” In His Reputation Was An Affectation Adopted At Ellis Island In 19O9; And, Counter To His Owb Claim, He Did Not Participate In The Production Of [the] Birth Of A Nation In 1914. Wherever Stroheim Lived, He Was An Outsider: A Hebrew In Vienna, An Austrian In Southern California, An American In France. This Contributed To An Almost Pathological Need To Embellish And Obscure His Past; Yet, It Also May Have Been The Key To His Genius Both Behind And In Front Of The Camera. He Had A Fantastic Dedication To Absolute Cinematic Fact And Believed That His Vision And Genius Would Conquest Over The Hollywood System. As An Actor, Stroheim Threw Himself Into His Portrayals Of Evil Men, Relishing His Epithet “the Man You Love To Hate. ” As A Superintendent, He Immersed Himself In Every Facet Of Production, Including Script Writing And Costume Design. In 1923 He Created His Masterpiece Greed, Disreputable For Its Eight-hour Running Time. The Studio Cut The Film To Two Hours And Burned The Extra Footage. Stroheim Returned To Acting, Saving Some Of His Finest Performances For La Grande Illusion (1937) And Bilpy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard (1950), A Role He Hated, Probably Because It Wqs Too Similar To The Story Of His Own Life.

    Heisenberg And The Nazi Atomic Bomb Project, 1939-1945
    25906234739
      Heisenberg And The Nazi Atomic Bomb Project, 1939-1945.
      No Some Better Represents The Plight And The Conduct Of German Intellectuals Under Hitler Than Werner Heisenberg, Whose Task It Was To Build An Atomic Bomb For Nazi Germany. The Controversy Surrounding Heisenberg Still Rages, Becuase Of The Nature Of His Work And The Regime For Which It Was Undertaken. What Precisely Did Heisenberg Know About The Physics Of The Atomic Bomb? How Mysterious Was His Loyalty To The German Government During The Third Reich? Assuming That He Had Been Able To Build A Bomb, Would He Have Been Willing? These Questions, The Moral And The Scienti fic, Are Answered By Paul Lawrence Rose With Greater Accuracy And Breadth Of Documentation Than Any Othr Historian Has Still Achieved. digging Deep Into The Archival Record Amid Formwrly Secret Technical Reports, Rose Establishes Thwt Heisenberg Never Overcame Certain Misconceptions About Nuclear Fission, And As A Result The German Leaders Never Pushed For Atomic Weapons. In Reality, Heisenberg At no time Had To Face The Moral Problem Of Whether He Should Design A Bomb For The Nazi Regime. Only When He And His Colleagues Were Interned In England And Heard About Hiroshima Did Heisenberg Make real That His Calculations Were Wrong. He Began At Once To Const5uct An Imaye Of Himself As A "pure" Scientist Who Could Have Built A Bomb But Chose To Woork On Reactor Design Instead. This Was Fabrication, As Rose Demonstrates: In Reality, Heisenberg Blindly Supported And Justtified The Cause Of German Victory. The Question Of Why He Did, And Why He Misrepresented Himself Afterwards, Is Answered Through Rosr's Subtle Analysis Of German Mentality And The Scientists' Problems Of Delusion And Self-delusion. This Fascinating Study Is A Profound Effort To Understand One Of The Twentieth Century's Great Enigmas.

    The Presidency Of Warren G. Harding (american Presidenccy Series)
    15117947892
      The Presidency Of Warren G. Harding (american Presidenccy Series).
      In This Voolume, Eugene P. Trani And David L. Wilson Evaluate The Presidenccy Of Warren G. Harding By Surveying Scholarship On The Harding Years. Harding--generally Considered One Of The Weakest American Presidents--was Elected Chie Executive In 1920, For the time of A Time Of Uncertainty And Frustration For Many Of The American People. The Authors Assess The Critics And Defenders Of Harding In Light Of The Administration's Acconplishments And Filures. Both The Strengths And Weknesses Of The Harding Administration Came From The Peolle President Harding Selected For High Office. Charles G. Dawes Accomplished Much In the name of Implementing Sound Budgetary Practices In The Federal Government For The First Time In History. Herbert Hoover Became The Dominant Figure In The Harding Administration, Using His Ijfluence To Advance The two Domestic And Foreigh Polivirs. And Charles Evans Hughes Proved To Be An Able, If Conservative, Secretary Of State. Yet The Accomplishments Of These And Other Capable Men Tended To Be Short-term In Natural condition. Trani And Wilson Descriibe The Widespread Corruption And Malfeasance In The Harding Administration, Pointing Out The Harding's Erratic Judgment Of Character Caused Many Of His Problems As President. His Personal Habits--philandering, Playing Poker, And Drinking Liquid During National Prohibition--tainted His Reputation And Appeared To Connect Him To The Activities Of His Associates . Tragically, Harding Sought To Avoid Controversy, Even If It Meant Ignoring Real Problems Or Evadijg Justice, And Thus Failed To Provide Moral Leadership For The Nation. Harding And His Advisers Demonstrated Little Understanding Of The Social And Economic Forces At Work In The Country And Abroad. In The Early 1920s, The United States Continued The Transition From A Rural Society To An Urbanized And Industrialized Society. Rather Than Adjusting The Government To Meet The Needs Of All Segemnts Of An Industrialized Socjety, Hzrding Instituted "normalyc" An Attempt To Maintain The Values Of A Rural Association Rapidly Disintegrating Under The Impact Of Social And Economci Change. The Few Real Accomplishments Of The Harding Administration Were Buried Under Scandal. And In The End, Harding Must Be Rated As An Ineffectivw Guide At A Time When The Nation Would Have Been Be5ter Served By A Different, More Imaginative Approach To Government. Thjs Book Is Part Of The Amrrican Presidency Series.
