From Andi (short for Antigone) and her younger brother Paul have grown accustomed to being "orphans" in their Greek village just after World War II. Their parents are members of a communist faction vying for control of the country, while Andi's village is under the tight rule of the Monarchists. Representing the cruelty of that government's rule is the chief of police, "Old Cyclops," and his spoiled, bullying son, Aristo. But feisty, fearless Andi bests Aristo at every turn. Only when Andi is not around does Aristo dare to harm the person she has sworn to protect--Paul. When Greece's civil war finally ends, Andi has paid a terrible for her fearlessness; the country has shed the innocence it had retained even through World War II. A story-within-a-story, told to Andi by her grandmother, opens the pages of this book; the story piercingly universalizes a civil war's sorrows by casting them in the light of a childhood game gone wrong. The methods of battle in the hills near Andi's village pervade every aspect of daily living--a lump of feta cheese from an elderly shepherd cloaks a message; their mother must slip in and out of their home in the middle of the night to visit as if part of a dream; an absent-minded schoolteacher brings news that the children's fugitive father has found safe harbor. The ending is not easy; neither is war. Rosen's first contains a stark assessment of the losses. From Stockholm, Andi thinks of her mother, whom she knows is dead: "She was laid to rest beside Paul in the warm, thyme-scented soil of Greece, in the little cemetery between the mountains and the sea, and it is good to know that nothing will ever separate them again . . . Father says that I'll feel better. . . . But I don't know." Little is published in this country about Greek's Civil War, but Rosen's story contains truths--in a spirited melding of ordinary incidents and exceptional circumstances--that make it one of the most vivid books on war to appear in some time. Ages 12-up. 1989 From School Grade 6-9-- The war against Hitler has ended, and Andi and her brother Paul should be enjoying a life reunited with their parents. Instead their parents go off to fight in the Greek civil war, leaving the two children with their grandmother. While on an errand for her, they accidentally fall into a cave which is filled with guns and ammunition. The children keep their discovery a secret, but eventually realize that these hidden weapons are to be used against the ruling Monarchists. Their grandmother's involvement in the struggle becomes evident as well; she is part of the secret forces helping the Communist cause. The political conflict overshadows every aspect of Andi's life. The police chief's son, Aristo, taunts her and her friends because of her parents' beliefs. Their tenuous situation vividly comes across in Rosen's lively prose. Strong characterization makes readers feel the frustration of the older generation who have experienced war after war and the confusion of the youngsters who have known little of normalcy and peace. Andi, a feisty, intelligent, sensitive youngster, has a sense of adventure which leads her to an understanding of the politics which shape her life. Well-written historical fiction with an excellent plot and believable characters, Andi's War is the vehicle by which this somewhat obscure period in recent Greek history comes to life.

Bright glossy jacket with old tags on spine and back. ReviewTo many, Bill Murray is the star of movies like Ghostbusters (reissued with certain scenes deleted and a Mystery Science Theatre-style commentary in 1999). But to golf aficionados, Murray is the clown in godawful "Hee-Haw-aiian" golf garb who plays shamelessly to the crowds at charity tee-offs from Pebble Beach to the Greater Milwaukee Open. And there is only one Bill Murray role, the gopher-snuffing, turf-smoking greenskeeper Carl Spackler in Caddyshack, whose fantasy of golf heroism gives this its title. "This crowd has gone deadly silent," Spackler mutters with club in hand and no crowd in sight, "a Cinderella story outta nowhere--former greenskeeper and now about to become the Masters champion!" Cinderella Story is really two books. The first is a string of outrageously digressive anecdotes about Murray's club-wielding adventures with Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer ("Incandescent ... he and Patton were born to lead armies"), Mike Ditka, John Denver, Chi Chi Rodriguez ("He had more fun playing golf than any person I'd ever seen."), Clint Eastwood, and Michael Jordan ("Relax," Murray tells himself, "his nickname is 'air,' not 'sand.'"). The prose style is mock-hepcat, insanely allusive, and very smart, like his screen persona. This is also the amusing, affecting autobiography of a kid who started out caddying for 60 cents a half-hour with his brothers--they got busted for giving a blind golfer three hole-in-one trophies--and wound up in showbiz. There are lots of showbiz anecdotes too, especially about Caddyshack, "arguably the greatest film ever made, although perhaps that's a drunken argument," as Murray observes. He'll get no argument from golfers, who will thrill to his expert ridicule of their mutual passion. --Tim Appelo --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

He was an FBI Agent for 26 years and spent the last 5 years of his FBI career working in the White House, where exposed Bill Clinton's lies and cover-ups.

Meanwhile, Caesar's popularity is such that the other Roman aristocrats, who rule as a body along with Caesar, fear that his popularity will cause the Plebeians to name him their King, breaking with Roman tradition. Reminding Brutus of a historic revolt led by his own ancestors, Cassius stirs Brutus's sense of purpose. When Brutus and Cassius are alone with one of Caesar's men, they learn that the Plebeians have indeed thrice offered Caesar the throne, which he repeatedly demurred. Cassius muses to himself that Brutus is easily manipulated, and plans to present him with spurious letters from angry citizens purportedly expressing disapproval of Caesar's rise. Egged on by conspirators and troubled by a sleepless night, Brutus resolves to lead the conspiracy in assassinating Caesar. Despite mounting bad omens and an additional warning from the Soothsayer, Caesar attends the Senate session, meeting his death with particular awe when he realizes that his good friend, Brutus, is behind the deed. Antony incites a riot when he exalts the leadership of the late Caesar in an address to the Plebeians. With chaos dividing the government, the ghost of Julius Caesar appears to Brutus with a haunting promise that the two will meet again. Based on an entry recorded in a contemporary diary, it is assumed that JULIUS CAESAR was written in 1599. It was immensely popular in its own day, and endures as one of Shakespeare's most frequently staged productions.., N A L, 1963, Lexis Nexis Matthew Bender, 01 Sep 2005. Nonspecific Binding.
