Perils & Consequences


Book Description

Putting the client first is the most important element of any business transaction. However, it is often the most overlooked. I attended many seminars, read many books, and listened to agents and representatives discuss all aspects of the business, but the idea of putting the clients interest first is almost never examined. After attending these seminars, I would find myself back at the office, gung ho to set the insurance world on fire. The problem that always surfaced was that I never was taught or never developed an insurance purchasing philosophy. Although we wrote lots of insurance and saw significant revenue growth in my agency, it was not a relaxed or rewarding experience. This was because we werent truly putting the client first despite our good intentions to do so. After swimming upstream for many years, I finally came upon the ideas contained in this book that have set my professional life free. As you will read, the most critical element is putting the clients interest first each and every time.

George Orwell on Screen


Book Description

British author and essayist George Orwell shot to fame with two iconic novels: the anti-Stalinist satire Animal Farm and the dystopian masterpiece Nineteen Eighty-Four. A few years after his death in 1950, the CIA bankrolled screen adaptations of both novels as Cold War propaganda. Orwell's depiction of a totalitarian police state captivated the media in the 1980s. Today, mounting anxieties about digital surveillance and globalization have made him a hot property in Hollywood. Drawing on interviews with actors, writers, directors and producers, this book presents the first comprehensive study of Orwell on film and television. Beginning with CBS's 1953 live production of Nineteen Eighty-Four that mirrored the McCarthy witch hunts, the author covers 20 wide-ranging adaptations, documentaries and biopics, including two lost BBC dramatizations from 1965.




To D-Day and Back


Book Description

In the predawn hours of D-Day, June 6, 1944, which would become immortalized as the Longest Day, Bob Bearden and his comrades in the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment jumped into the inky skies over Normandy. Their mission: defend the west bank of the Merderet River against German counterattack. After long months of training they were finally taking the war to the Germans. Beardens time in combat proved shortlived, however, when he was captured on D+2, June 8. This was only the beginning of a new war for his very survival through multiple German POW camps and ultimately on an epic journey that would take him largely on foot all the way to Moscow on his journey home, all of which makes for exciting reading in this remarkable memoir.

Carl grieves, and he vows to find her killer. His quest leads him to battle people on both sides of the city. It also leads him to question which world he belongs in. Justice, though, must be served, and he does his best to serve it, even at the cost of his life.
