The stories in The Muted Trumpet's Call are in remembrance of the United State's entry into World War II seventy years ago. Veterans remember Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the sinking of the USS Pope. These stories tell of the inhumanity and fear in POW camps of the Japanese and Germans, of the up close and personal combat of the soldiers and marines in Europe and the Pacific, of the tension of the sailors on landing craft, and the airmen facing fighters of the enemy and the flak that might take their plane down at any time. They also tell of the wounds that veterans carried home for the rest of their lives, both physical and mental. We also see what WAVES and WACS contributed to the war effort. The stories also include small town newspapers covering the war, the War Memorials in small towns and counties. We go on an Honor Flight to Washington with WWII veterans to visit their memorial and relive the Memorial Days of our lives with veteran's organizations ceremonies at local cemeteries. God Bless them all and God Save the Republic.

For half a century before 1937, populists, progressives, and labour leaders complained bitterly that a "judicialy oligarchy" impeded social and economic reform by imposing crippling restraints on trade unions and nullifying legislation that regulated business corporations. "A Muted Fury", the first study of this neglected chapter in American political and legal history, explains the origins of hostility toward the courts during the Progressive Era, examines in detail the many measures that antagonists of the judiciary proposed for the curtailment of judicial power, and evaluates the successes and failures of the anti-court movements. Tapping a broad array of sources, including popular literature and unpublished manuscripts, William Ross demonstrates that this widespread fury against the judiciary was muted by many factors, including respect for judicial power, internal divisions among the judiciary's critics, institutional obstacles to reform, and the judiciary's own willingness to mitigate its hostility toward progressive legislation and labour. Ross argues that persistent criticism of the courts influenced judicial behavour, even though the antagonists of the courts failed in their many efforts to curb judicial power. The book's interdisciplinary exploration of the complex interactions among politics, public opinion, judicial decision-making, the legislative process, and the activities of organized interest groups provides fresh insights into the perennial controversy over the scope of judicial power in America.

t's not that most businesspeople lack moral convictions. Rather, they tend not to voice them and are inattentive when others ^Udo. Bird sees this behavior as moral silence, deafness, and blindness, and, following this analogy to the senses, he argues that the practice of ethics is a form of communication. Thus, instead of focusing on specific moral issues, Bird examines the things that stifle communication about moral issues—factors that have a costly impact on business. His book presents a new view of ethics, in which ethics can be construed as a practical social activity, not a utopian concept to be contemplated in the abstract. With numerous examples and case studies from business life and a logical, sensible analysis of what causes moral silence, deafness, and blindness, Bird's book will be challenging reading not only for professionals and academics in various fields of business, but also for their colleagues in philosophy, religion, and the social sciences.

The author begins by discussing the nature of moral silence in contemporary business and asks what kind of problem it is. He examines what it means to voice or not voice moral convictions and what it means to be inattentive or deaf to moral issues. He continues the analogy into moral blindness—the problem of not perceiving moral issues clearly. From there he explores the consequences of moral silence, deafness, and blindness and traces their causes to a variety of cultural, individual, and organizational factors, all of them interconnected. The book concludes with a way in which businesspeople and others can understand ethics as a social activity in which everyone can and must participate. Bird sees the practice of ethics as a form of conversation, a way in which people establish and maintain agreements among themselves, and in doing so help each other overcome their sensory incapacitations. Bird provides ways in which this can be done, from the use of workshops on interpersonal skills to seminars on conflict resolution—tools and aids that are already prevalent in organizations but that have not, until now, been seen as facilitators of moral awareness and action.

This is the only study to examine how the unofficial hierarchy - editors of denominational journals, academic leaders, and pastors - shaped the Church of Christ's response to the Civil Rights Movement.This study demonstrates the existence and operation of an unofficial hierarchy within the Church of Christ, consisting of editors of denominational journals, academic leaders of Church related schools, and significant pastors. The work examines how this elite exercised informal power in shaping the Church of Christ's response to the black civil rights movement, including the marginalization of dissenting voices.The hierarchy is identified through surveys, content analysis of denominational journals, and an examination of special college lecture series, noting particular topics and speakers. The analysis reveals overlapping circles of influence and collaboration between elite members with a few to determining a response to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
