Карантин невольно сделал жителей больших городов участниками любопытного социального эксперимента. И, хотя результаты этого эксперимента были предсказуемы, почувствовать их на собственной, извиняюсь, шкуре – это совсем не то, что в теории.

America seems to have little sense of how the Civil Rights Movement actually played into southern politics over the remainder of the twentieth Century. The common vision is a monolithic struggle between heroes and villains, depicted literally and figuratively in black and white. Unfortunately, this conception provides incomplete explanation for subsequent progress in the southern political system. This book reveals that, amid all the heroic history of that time, there is a fascinating story of “stealth reconstruction” – i.e., the unheroic, quiet, practical, biracial work of some white politicians and black leaders, a story untold and unknown until now.

Historian and former university president Sheldon Hackney recounts how he became an unwitting combatant in the Culture Wars when his nomination to become President Bill Clinton’s chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities came under fire from right-wing conservatives. Hackney meticulously describes the background of ideological maneuvering that was behind not only the attacks on him but also the fierce campaign to bring down Clinton. He says, “I believe my story illustrates how the Culture War and the current media environment combine to polarize discussion until the public has no chance to understand complex issues. Not only are moderates trampled underfoot, but the great gray areas where life is actually lived, the areas of ambiguity and tradeoffs between competing values, are rendered toxic to human habitation. This is not healthy for a democracy.”

Few realize a New World Order plans to replace our constitution with a Single World Government, nor that our Federal Reserve Bank is privately owned and is not subject to oversight by Congress or the President. Its stockholders include the Rockefellers, Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers of New York; the Rothschild’s of London and Berlin; the Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Seiff of Italy; the Kuhn & Loeb Company of Germany; and the Warburgs of Hamburg and Amsterdam, earning almost two billion dollars a day in interest as they buy off our dysfunctional Congress and intentionally level this great nation. George H. W. Bush, the undisputed “Overlord” of the Shrub Dynasty, in his State of the Union Message in 1991 said: “What is at stake is more than one small country, it is a big idea – a new world order.” Did We the People ever agree to this treasonous act of turning over our nation’s sovereignty to a Single World Government?

Перед вами книга Николая Боярчука – зрелого, яркого и самобытного русского писателя. Его литература – мощная, выразительная, эмоциональная, пронзительная и предельно искренняя. Творческий почерк Боярчука – многослойный, порывистый и ритмичный. В сборник включены художественные и публицистические опыты Николая Боярчука, вполне отражающие его узнаваемую стилистику. Это добрая и по-довлатовски смешная быль о мудром деде автора, в одиночку одолевшем бесов в псковской глуши; история о романтичном и никчемном самокопающемся Феде, то и дело в поисках своей единственной попадающем в Зазеркалье аномальной зоны эстонской столицы; в публицистических зарисовках «Мотиваторы» автор на правах щепетильного, беспокойного и опытного гида представляет разноликих и порой странноватых жителей современного Таллина, а завершает книгу поэтическая транскрипция Любви, которой целиком подчинено творчество автора. Произведения Боярчука – от малой прозы и ритмических композиций до крупных форм – наполнены ощущением величия и драматизма, радости и боли, предчувствия совершенства; пропитаны балтийским свинцовым ветром и акварельным восторгом сирени.
