![]() ![]() Woodward is the town cardiologist, or at least carries himself as such. He has shared in two Pulitzers and written 21 books, virtually all of them about how power courses through Washington’s veins. We’ve now got enough crises to keep Beltway authors busy for a generation, though most of them will not be lucky enough to speak to the president 18 times, because they are not Bob Woodward, who - with his Washington Post colleague Carl Bernstein - helped pave the way for Richard Nixon’s downfall. Then Woodward quotes himself again, from a television appearance made while promoting “Fear”: “Let’s hope to God we don’t have a crisis.” His first was called “ Fear.” If you happen to have forgotten about “Fear,” Woodward offers a reminder on of “Rage,” quoting from the earlier volume’s description of Trump as “mercurial” and “unpredictable.” Both words mean the same thing, but let’s leave that aside for now. These interviews form the spine of “ Rage,” Woodward’s second book about the Trump administration. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eighteen! Do you think Trump has spoken to his Energy secretary 18 times? Do you even know who his Energy secretary is? I can tell you this much he is not Bob Woodward, the man on the other end of the line for all those conversations, some of them on tape, many conducted in the midst of a pandemic.

![]() The last section, Marx the Teacher, evaluates the usefulness of Marx's thought to interpret the events of his time and those between his death and Schumpeter's time. He also deals with the concept of crisis and business cycle, two economic theories that Marx pioneered (p. 39). The section Marx the Economist focuses on Marx's economic theory and judges it excessively "stationary" (pp. 27, 31). The section Marx the Sociologist focuses on how Marx's theory of class fits in with the larger intellectual traditions of the day and how it superseded them in at least its ability to synthesize sociological thought. ![]() The section Marx the Prophet explains that if nothing else Marx would have been received well by people who needed a theory to explain what was happening in their society. The analysis of Marx is broken down into four roles that Schumpeter ascribes to the writer (prophet, sociologist, economist, and teacher). ![]() Noteworthy is the way that Schumpeter points out the difference between the capitalist and the entrepreneur, a distinction that he claims Marx would have been better served to make (p. 52). Schumpeter devotes the first 56 pages of the book to an analysis of Marxian thought and the place within it for entrepreneurs.

Consider this passage: However, this is what makes Short exceptional: it is all-kid. Sloan has crafted Julia’s world with a deft hand: it can be scattered at times as Julia flits from one thought to another. By getting out of her comfort zone, she starts daydreaming less and doing more – both in the play and in the real world. Following through in the role – with the support of fellow cast members and little adults – Julia learns what commitment means as she discovers the strength of community, both on stage and in her town. ![]() This is a sore point, as she’s shorter-than-average and a bit sensitive about it. But she tags along to the audition, reads for a part, and is surprised to learn that she’s cast in the production of The Wizard of Oz…as a Munchkin. Julia has far more important things to do this summer, like writing letters to her friends and mourning her dog Ramon’s death. It’s summer vacation, and Julia’s brother wants to audition for the local summer play. Sloan impressively nails both a solid kid-friendly plot line and authentic voice and actions in Short. They have some company with Holly Goldberg Sloan’s Julia Marks. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, the author did a fantastic job of keeping all the side characters distinct and we really got to know and love a lot of them. There’s too many names and too much to remember. A lot of times I find books with a lot of side characters too much. The side characters in this series were amazing. This is a low-angst romance with a beautiful HEA!! Definitely make sure to check out the bonus scene for a sexy bonus!! It starts off an a one-sided enemies to lovers and it actually takes a while for that to change but because they work together at the studio it doesn’t seem slow at all!

The Church of Scientology is less that of a Christian sect than a spiritual hierarchy, believing that its members sign a billion year contract of devotion and whose Thetan (spirit) is able to move from body to body to complete this agreement. Born into the Church and the third generation of familial followers, Jenna explains the background of the organisation and how her family played a key role at the grassroots level. This brought me to the piece by Jenna Miscavige Hill, whose entire childhood was shaped by the Church of Scientology. It seems my latest topic of interest is the personal struggle, which will surely open up avenues of angst and some painful revelations.
