What does it mean to be an American? Our diversity makes us unique. It also makes us strong. But from Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin to Ronald Reagan and James Baldwin, those born and raised in the land of the free share some common traits. Who exemplifies and who betrays America’s promise? The three controversial essays in REDISCOVERING AMERICA ("America and the Perfectibility of Man," "James Baldwin: Loving and Leaving America," and "The Pattern American") examine the character of the United States as expressed in the writings of Crevecoeur, Benjamin Franklin, James Baldwin an

"Fleeing the mobsters he has double crossed, Harry Fabian runs through a virtual obstacle course of London’s back streets and alleys during a night in which the shadows seem to grow darker with his every footstep. The night itself seems to be his stalker, its shadows enveloping him like a closing coffin lid." So begins "The Shadows of Film Noir," Brian W. Fairbanks’ perceptive analysis of the genre, one of the highlights of a collection that also includes knowledgable profiles of film giants like John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Richard Widmark and even Elliott Gould, as well as a memor

Evelyn Fairbanks grew up in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s along Rondo Avenue--the heart of St. Paul’s largest black neighborhood. Her book tells the warm and human stories she recalls from those years in the then-vibrant community that was doomed to disappear with the coming of the freeways in the 1960s. "It is important for me to tell these stories, because I want others to know some of the people, events, and places that made up my neighborhood."--Evelyn Fairbanks

Ironically, these claims are being made at a time when the explosion of information from genome projects has revealed the most compelling and overwhelming evidence of evolution ever discovered. Much of the latest evidence of human evolution comes not
