I'm not very good at posting links, but the Chicago Sun-Times and Tribune, has many referances to the Lester Crown - Barack Obama connection since the latter's run for the Unied States Senate in 2004. Mr Obama is also linked to the Pritzker family. The selection of Obama as the Democratic candidate is full of legal hanky-panky, as was the resignation of Mr. Ryan as the GOP nominee, Mr Ryan was then replaced by the cartoonish/bafoon Alan Keyes as the Republican candidate. In the 2004 election Mr. Obama won over 70% of the vote. I will post links later.
An American film from 1940, "The Great McGinty", starring Brian Donleavy & Akim Tamiroff, is a comedy drama that is based around the rise of a "bum", Donleavy, from that position to eventually becoming Mayor and then Governor of a state. The city is Chicago by the nbaming of street and city intersections. The Tamiroff character is called "The Boss", near the film end we fing that "The Boss", is in the concreate business, Henry Crown derived his fortune, in part, by establishing Material Service Corp, an road building service company. Thru Chicago Mayor Anton Chermak, MSC, obtained a near monopoly on all Cook County-Chicago road building contracts, Chermak was President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners before his election as Mayor in 1927, defeating 3 term GOP Mayor, William Hale "Big Bill' Thompson. Chermak was assassinated in early 1933 in Miami as he was meetingwith President elect Franklin D. Roosevelt at an out day rally. The TV series "The Untouchable" produced a muti part fictional reanactment of the assassination. The "alleged" assassin was executed about a month after the slaying.
Btw in a conversation between "McGinty"(Donleavy) and "The Boss"(Tamiroff) Tamiroff tells Donlvey "In this town I'm all the (politcal) parties."
Thanks Kenneth -- and Maggie, of course.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.

You are amazing. Someone should pay you big bucks to do reasearch. Of course books of the nature that would benefit our shared cause tend to get lost in book stores.
So yes thanks for the links.

Very often they tend not to get into book stores at all - unless you self publish, that is.

Penn Jones and Harold Weisberg still get trashed for "poor editing" and such. As well as others not of Simon & Schuster/Random House/Warner books and etcs helpful hands.
To me truth overbears any English errors. Whitewash and FMG will always find room on my bookshelf.
Editors can be functioning as gatekeepers too.
I do include both Chomsky and Zinn in that category. Though I really like Howard Zinn's People's History I note NOT ONE WORD about the murder of President John Kennedy. At least in the edition I have.
That is a gatekeeping function - isn't it.
