Dark Horse (pb).
Wendell Willkie Never Held A Public Office, Yet He Nearly Became President Of The United States. A Registered Democrat Until The Fall Of 1939, He Captured The Republican Party's Nomination Less Than A Year Later. It Was, By All Accounts, A Meteoric Rise-to Win The Nomination Willkie Defeated Such Party Stalwarts As Thomas Dewey, Robert Taft, And Arthur Vandenberg. These Republican Front-runners Had Been Insisting That The War In Europe Wasn't A National Concern Since Two Oceans Protected The U.s. From The Aggressors, While For Months Willkie Had Warned Of The Danger Of A Europe Controlled By Fascists. Shortly Before The Gop Convened In Philadelphia, Hitler's Armies Swallowed Denmark, Norway, The Low Countries, And France. In A Time For Heroes, Willkie Was A Man Of The Hour.almost Overnight Willkie Moved The Republican Party Out Of Its Hidebound Isolationism And Sent A Message To The World That Amerians Stood Together Against Axis Aggression. Roosevelt, Although Recognizing Willkie As A Formidable Political Opponent, Called His Nomination A "godsend" Because It Finally Brought National Unity.roosevelt's Election To A Third Term-and Willkie's Defeat-turned Out To Be The Closest Presidential Race In A Generation, And Willkie Received More Votes Than Any Previous Republican Candidate, Setting A Record That Stood Until Eisenhower's '52 Landslide. And Despite His Defeat, Willkie Grew In Stature Becoming Roosevelt's Special Envoy During World War Ii, First To London During The Blitz And Later To The Middle East, To Russia, And To China. On The Home Front Willkie Became The Spokesman Of The One World Philosophy That Influenced U.s. Foreign Policy For A Generation And The Conscience Of American Politics, Speaking Out Against Isolationism, Imperialism, And The Persecution Of Minorities.

Kentucky Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff.
&uot;kentucky Curiosities" Is Your Round-trip Ticket To The Wildest, Wackiest, Most Outrageous People, Places, And Tgings The Bluegrass State Has To Offer. For This Completely Revised And Updated Edition, Best-seelling Author And Barbecue Connoiseur Vince Staten And Journalist Liz Baldi Have Combed Kentucky Once Again For One-of-a-kind Gems That Make Their Home State Truly Unique.you'll Pucker Up To A Pig, Witness The Creation Of The World's Largest Ham Biscuit (all 4,000 Pounds Of It), And Cheer On The Underpig At The Trigg County Country Ham Festival.you'll Explore The World's Largest Cave System, Purchase Your Very Own 5-foot Tall Cement Rooster, And Take In A Saloon Show At Cave City, A.k.a. Tacky Town, Usa. One Day A Year Kentucky Is The Most Famous State In The Union. That's Kentucky Derby Day, The First Saturday In May When The Annual Kentucky Derby Is Run At Churchill Downs. On That Day, Kentucky Is The Home To Fast Horses, Beautiful Women, And Great Whiskey. For The Other 364 Days It Is Home To Fast Women, Beautiful Horses, And People Recovering From Too Much Whiskey. This Duality - Hey, We're Important Today; But Tomorrow We're Nothing - Is A Perfect Reflection Of A State Of Great Contrasts. Kentucky Is The Home Of The Most Famous People In The World, Muhammad Ali. It Is Also The Home Of The Most Infamous, Charles Manson (his Boyhood Home Is In Ashland -unmarked, Of Course). Novelist Robert Penn Warren Was A Kentuckian, As Was Gonzo Journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Illinois May Have Land Of Lincoln On Its License Plates, But Kentucky Was Where Honest Abe Was Born. He Just Moved Away Rather Quickly. These Contrasts Extend Down To Our Counties: You Can't Buy Adrink In Bourbon County (it's Against The Law To Sell Alchohol There) But You Can In Christian County. Kentucky Is One Giant Curiosity.

An Origin Like Water: Collected Poems 1957 -1987.
Here, From One Of Our Major Poets, Is The Collected Early Work That Has Been Long Unavailable In This Country. Included In This Volume Is The Work From Eavan Boland's Five Early Volumes Of Poetry: New Territory, The War Horse, In Her Own Image, Night Feed, And The Journey. The Poems From Boland's First Book, New Territory, Show Her To Be, At Twenty-two, A Master Of Formal Verse Reflecting Irish History And Myth. This Collection Charts The Ways In Which Boland's Work Breaks From Poetic Tradition, Honors It, And Reinvents It. Poems Like "anorexic," "mastectomy," And "witching" Have An Intensity Reminiscent Of Sylvia Plath And Anne Sexton. In Later Poems, Her Subjects Become More Personal, Sequencing Boland's Life As A Woman, Poet, And Mother. Boland Writes, "i Grew To Understand The Irish Poetic Tradition Only When I Went Into Exile With It," Becoming, In Effect, "a Displaced Person / In A Pastoral Chaos." This Colllection Demonstrates How Boland's Mature Voice Developed From The Poetics Of Inner Exile Into A Subtle, Flexible Idiom Uniquely Her Own.

Keeneland's Ted Bassett: My Life.
In The December 30, 1967, Edition Of The Weekly Thoroughbred Trade Publication, The Blood-horse, Was An Announcement That Took Up One Inch Of Space - James E. "ted" Bassett Iii Had Been Named Assistant To The President Of The Keeneland Association. It Was Sandwiched Between Equally Short News Items About A Handicapping Seminar At An East Coast Racetrack And A California Vacation Trip By A Horse-owning Couple. Bassett's New Job, In His Own Words, "was Not Earthshaking News." More Than Four Decades Later, Ted Bassett Is One Of The Most Respected Figures Within The Global Thoroughbred Industry. He Has Served As Keeneland's President, Chairman Of The Board, And Trustee, Playing A Critical Role In Its Ascendency As A Premier Thoroughbred Track And Auction House. Bassert Was Also President Of Breeders' Cup Limited During Its Greatest Period Of Growth And Has Been A Key Architect In The Development Of The Sport Of Kings As We Know It Today. Written In Collaboration With Two-time Eclipse Award-winning Journalist Bill Mooney, Keeneland's Ted Bassett: My Life Recounts Bassett's Extraordinary Journey, Including His Days At Kent School And Yale University, Through His U.s. Marine Corps Service In The Pacific Theater During World War Ii, And As Director Of The Kentucky State Police During The Turbulent 1960s. He Helped Found The College Of Justice & Safety At Eastern Kentucky University, And His Continuing Service To The Marine Corps Has Gained Him The Highest Honors Accorded To A Civilian. During His Forty-plus Years With Keeneland, Bassett Has Hobnobbed With Hot Walkers In The Track Kitchen, Hosted The First Visit By Queen Elizabeth Ii To A United States Track, And Participated In Many Of The Most Important Events In The Modern History Of Horse Racing. With Self-effacing Humor, Characteristic Charm, And Candor, Bassett Describes His Association With Historic Figures Such As J. Edgar Hoover And Kentucky Governors Albert B. "happy" Chandler, Edward T. "ned" Breathitt, And John Y. Brown; And His Friendships With Racing Personalities D. Wayne Lukas, Nick Zito, Ron Mcanally, Pat Day, And Joe Hirsch. Bassett Shares Details About Difficult Corporate Decisions And Great Racing Events That Only He Can Supply, And About The Formation Of Equibase, The Premier Data Collection Agency Within The Thoroughbred Industry. He Tells About His Role As An International Ambassador For Racing, Which Has Made Him A Highly Influential Figure On Six Continents. Bassett Often Describes His Life As A Fascinating Blur. That "blur" And All Its Unique Components Are Brought Into Sharp Focus In A Book That Is As Wide-ranging As It Is Personal, Filled With A Gold Mine Of Firsthand Stories And Historical Details. In Addition To Highlighting Keeneland's Reputation As The Jewel Of The Thoroughbred Industry, Bassett Chronicles The Business Of Racing And Accomplishments Of Many Prominent People In The H

The Rough Riders.
The Advent Of War With Spain Was A Glorious Opportunity For Forceful Leadership Not To Be Missed By The Hotheaded Young Theodore Roosevelt. He Resigned His Post As Assistant-secretary Of The Navy In April, 1898, And, Despite The Strong Disapproval Of Family And Friends, He Joined The Army As Lt. Colonel Of A Regiment To Be Raised In The Territories Of Arizona, New Mexico, And Oklahoma. He Ordered A Uniform From Brooks Brothers, A Dozen Pairs Of Steel Spectacles, "a Couple Of Good, Stout, Quiet Horses," And He Was Off To Train His Volunteers At San Antonio. The Rough Riders Were A Most Unusual Regiment. Informal, Independent, Made Up Of Ex-cowboys, Western Bad Men, And Ivy League Graduates, Roosevelt's Troops Made A Poor Impression On Army Regulars But Provided Excellent Copy For The Nation's Newspapers. On July 22, 1898, This Motley Cavalry Regiment Waded Ashore In Cuba, And Before The Summer Was Over The Rough Riders And Their Impatient, Dynamic Leader Were Familiar To Virtually Every Household In The Nation. Roosevelt Was Being Considered For Nomination To The Governorship Of New York, And His March To The Presidency Had Begun. From The Time He Left Washington To Join His Regiment For Training In Texas To Their Triumphant Return From Cuba, Roosevelt Kept Daily Records Of His Thoughts And Experiences. These Jottings Formed The Basis Of This Book, By Far The Best Firsthand Story Of The Spanish-american War. Published In 1899 To Instant Acclaim, "the Unhewn Riders" Is Written With Roosevelt's Typical Gusto. His Writing Is Remarkable For His Sure Sense Of Personality And The Spontaneity And Directness Of His Prose. Reading The Book, It Is Impossible Not To Sense The Exhilaration Of Battle, Or The Moral Purpose Behind It All. "the Rough Riders" Remains One Of The Great War Stories Of Our Time, And Offers An Invaluable Look At One Of The Most Colorful Presideents Of The United States.

Their Journey's Spectacular Culmination Was The Long Siege Of Jerusalem, At The End Of Which The Cruszders, By A Brilliant Tactical Manoeuvre, Broke Down Its Defences And Poured Into The City Which Erupted In A Bloody Massacre. Steven Runciman's History Of The Crusades Is Justly Acclaimed As The Most Complete And Fascinating Account Of The Historic Journey To Save The Holy Lands From The Infidel.
