Dear Readers, 

I hope to bring to your attention books, magazines, and  ezines that will help you navigate through the morass this world has developed into.  The reviews will primarily be on conservative matters; however, some will be on Christian ideas that are being threatened by the liberal  mindset

This newsletter will either swim or sink according to the  interaction of the subscribers.  I invite any conservative person to send in a  review or to respond to a review.  To send in your review, response or  questions, please email to lynler@prodigy.net.  Please keep your masterpiece under 300 words.  I will acknowledge you when it is published.  I also would appreciate if you, the reader, would tell your friends about this endeavor or just forward them this ezine.

I've been frequenting Hastings Bookstore in my town and  have found their markdown books at fabulous prices.  The ones I have bought were from 99 cents to $5.99, with the 99 cents being the majority,  I bought 14 books  for $25.99  Check out you local bookstore before you order in the mail or  online.  In addition, you have to pay shipping on those orders.

"DOSSIER, The Secret History of Armand Hammer," by Edward Jay Epstein.  Published by Random House in 1996.  ISBN  0-679-44802-0

From the book jacket:  Edward Jay Epstein's investigation  into the life of Armand Hammer exposes a tale of fraud, corruption, and personal  betrayal that was carried out on such a grand scale and over such a long period of time that it is unique,  Hammer was ninety-two when he died in 1990.  A lengthy front-page obituary in The New York Times lauded him as a successful businessman "who long sought peace between the United States and the  Soviet Union and financed research for a cancer cure."  His philanthropy was noted, along with his vast art collection and his elevated social connections.  But with the official version of Hammer's life, which incorporated many of the  major figures (Al Gore, Sr., John Kennedy and Jimmy Carter) and key events of  the twentieth century, was in fact a myth, carefully nurtured and embellished for nearly seventy years.
