Book Description
Drawing on a distinguished bipartisan panel that included Edmund Muskie, Paul Volcker, Bobby Inman, Sally Ride, Charles McC. Mathias Jr., Douglas A. Fraser, Donald M. Stewart, and Isabel V. Sawhill, this book analyzes foreign and domestic issues America confronts as the world begins to emerge from the post-World War II period. The panel identified the two major challenges facing the United States, to restore a healthy balance in our economy between investment and consumption and imports and exports, and to maximize the benefits to be achieved from changes underway in the Soviet Union, and offers a provocative blueprint to achieve these goals. The panel offers specific, bold policy recommendations in the areas of the economy, foreign policy, social programs, and the federal budget.

Book Description
Motivated by potentially turning Flushing Meadows, literally a land of refuse, into his greatest public park, Robert Moses—New York's "Master Builder"—brought the World's Fair to the Big Apple for 1964 and '65. Though considered a financial failure, the 1964-65 World' s Fair was a Sixties flashpoint in areas from politics to pop culture, technology to urban planning, and civil rights to violent crime. In an epic narrative, the New York Times bestseller Tomorrow-Land shows the astonishing pivots taken by New York City, America, and the world during the Fair. It fetched Disney's empire from California and Michelangelo's La Pieta from Europe; and displayed flickers of innovation from Ford, GM, and NASA—from undersea and outerspace colonies to personal computers. It housed the controversial work of Warhol (until Governor Rockefeller had it removed); and lured Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. Meanwhile, the Fair—and its house band, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians—sat in the musical shadows of the Beatles and Bob Dylan, who changed rock-and-roll right there in Queens. And as Southern civil rights efforts turned deadly, and violent protests also occurred in and around the Fair, Harlem-based Malcolm X predicted a frightening future of inner-city racial conflict. World's Fairs have always been collisions of eras, cultures, nations, technologies, ideas, and art. But the trippy, turbulent, Technicolor, Disney, corporate, and often misguided 1964-65 Fair was truly exceptional.

Dr. E. Gaylon McCollough is an accomplished author, metaphysician, specialty plastic surgeon, and godly American patriot. In this, his twenty-third book, the doctor addresses how a deep state network that is aligned with Luciferian globalists, has infiltrated government, America's healthcare system, the mainstream media, public education, and the entertainment industry. With the souls of the America's children hanging in the balance, Dr. McCollough explains why patriots of all races, religions, and both genders must unite, to see that every child grows up in a world where God--not Luciferian governance--reigns supreme, as it was in the beginning.

Book Description
Winner of the Bancroft Prize In twenty-first-century America, some cities are flourishing and others are struggling, but they all must contend with deteriorating infrastructure, economic inequality, and unaffordable housing. Cities have limited tools to address these problems, and many must rely on the private market to support the public good. It wasn’t always this way. For almost three decades after World War II, even as national policies promoted suburban sprawl, the federal government underwrote renewal efforts for cities that had suffered during the Great Depression and the war and were now bleeding residents into the suburbs. In Saving America’s Cities, the prizewinning historian Lizabeth Cohen follows the career of Edward J. Logue, whose shifting approach to the urban crisis tracked the changing balance between government-funded public programs and private interests that would culminate in the neoliberal rush to privatize efforts to solve entrenched social problems. A Yale-trained lawyer, rival of Robert Moses, and sometime critic of Jane Jacobs, Logue saw renewing cities as an extension of the liberal New Deal. He worked to revive a declining New Haven, became the architect of the “New Boston” of the 1960s, and, later, led New York State’s Urban Development Corporation, which built entire new towns, including Roosevelt Island in New York City. Logue’s era of urban renewal has a complicated legacy: Neighborhoods were demolished and residents dislocated, but there were also genuine successes and progressive goals. Saving America’s Cities is a dramatic story of heartbreak and destruction but also of human idealism and resourcefulness, opening up possibilities for our own time.
