Julie Williams

In 1910, Orville and Wilbur Wright opened the first US civilian flight school in Montgomery, Alabama. Author Julie Hedgepeth Williams chronicles the short life of this flight school as seen mainly through the eyes of the Alabama press, whose reporting and sometimes mis-reporting "reflected the misconceptions, hopes, dreams, and fears about aviation in 1910, painting a picture of a time when flight was untested, unsteady, and unavailable to most people."--Publisher description.

Frederik Hetmann [i.e. H. C. Kirsch

Leben des amerikanischen Friedenskämpfers (1929 -1968) vor dem Hintergrund weißer Rassenüberheblichkeit. Die Gewalt ist unpraktisch, weil sie einer abwärtsführenden Spirale gleicht und in allgemeiner Zerstörung endet. Sie ist unmoralisch, weil sie auf die Demütigung des Gegners aus ist, statt sich um sein Verständnis zu bemühen, weil sie sich von Haß statt von der Liebe nährt. Sie Zerstört die Gemeinschaft und macht Brüderlichkeit unmöglich. Sie läßt die Gesellschaft in einem Monolog, statt sie zu einem Dialog zu führen.
