Albert Ellis (September 27, 1913 ? July 24, 2007) was an American psychologist and psychotherapist who founded rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). He held MA and Ph.D. degrees in clinical psychology from Columbia University, and was certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). He also founded, and was the President of, the New York City-based Albert Ellis Institute. He is generally considered to be one of the originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in psychotherapy and an early proponent and developer of cognitive-behavioral therapies. Based on a 1982 professional survey of US and Canadian psychologists, he was considered the second most influential psychotherapist in history (Carl Rogers ranked first in the survey; Sigmund Freud was ranked third). Psychology Today noted that, "No individual?not even Freud himself?has had a greater impact on modern psychotherapy." More
DiMaggio: Setting the Record Straight
St. Paul, MN: MBI Publishing Company, 2003. First Edition. xiv, 418 pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. Slight weakness at front board. Foreword by Henry A. Kissinger. Joseph Paul DiMaggio (November 25, 1914 – March 8, 1999), nicknamed "Joltin' Joe" and "The Yankee Clipper", was an American Major League Baseball center fielder who played his entire 13-year career for the New York Yankees. He is perhaps best known for his 56-game hitting streak (May 15 – July 16, 1941), a record that still stands. DiMaggio was a three-time MVP winner and an All-Star in each of his 13 seasons. During his tenure with the Yankees, the club won ten American League pennants and nine World Series championships. At the time of his retirement, he ranked fifth in career home runs (361) and sixth in career slugging percentage (.579). He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955, and was voted the sport's greatest living player in a poll taken during the baseball centennial year of 1969. His brothers Vince (1912–1986) and Dom (1917–2009) also were major league center fielders. More

New York: Ocean Press, 2006. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. x, 261, [1] pages. Glossary. Occasional footnotes. Chronology. Bibliography. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Fabian Escalante is the author of several books, including The Secret War: CIA Covert Operations Against Cuba, 1959-62 (1995) and CIA Targets Fidel: The Secret Assassination Report (1996). In 2006 Escalante published JFK: The Cuba Files. In the book Escalante describes the conspiracy uncovered by Cuba's investigation, which reviewed declassified US files and reports from Cuban intelligence units that had infiltrated anti-Castro groups in Miami. At the time of assassination of John F. Kennedy, Escalante was head of a counterintelligence unit and was part of a team investigating a CIA operation called Sentinels of Liberty. In 1982 Escalante became a senior official in the Interior Ministry. Escalante was considered to be Cuba's leading authority on the history of CIA activities against his country. Escalante became head of the Cuban Security Studies Center in 1993. This allowed him to reexamine the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He studied all the available material and publications, consulted with former agents and operatives, and investigated all the accessible documentation.” In a Cuban television documentary broadcast on November 26, 1993, Escalante named the gunmen who killed John F. Kennedy as three Chicago mobsters (Lenny Patrick, David Yaras, and Richard Cain), and two Cuban exiles (Herminio Diaz Garcia and Eladio del Valle), but said that many in the CIA and elsewhere knew what was going to happen.

It is at times, a blistering, blustering attack on the Liberal ""establishment's"" foreign policy from Yalta to Saigon. The thesis: the Liberals have changed America's appeasement of Russian rulers and Communism in general. The Liberal conspirators--Dean Rusk, Kennedy, Johnson, et al. -- are selling America's security to the Communist dream of empire. More
