Ever since the film industry relocated to Hollywood early in the twentieth century, it has had an outsized influence on American politics. Through a series of gripping chapters on larger-than-life figures in American cinema--Charlie Chaplin, Louis Mayer, Edward G. Robinson, Harry Belafonte, Ronald Reagan, George Murphy, Jane Fonda, Charlton Heston, Warren Beatty, and Arnold Schwarzenegger--Hollywood Left and Right tells the compelling story of how Hollywood emerged as a vital center of American politics. From Chaplin, whose movies almost always displayed his leftist convictions, to Schwarznegger's nearly seamless transition from action blockbusters to the California governor's mansion, Steve Ross traces the intersection of Hollywood and political activism through the twentieth century and into the 21st. Significantly, Hollywood Left and Right challenges the commonly held belief that Hollywood is a bastion of liberalism. The real story, as Ross shows in this passionate yet highly entertaining work, is a far more complicated one. The Left and the Right each gained ascendancy in Tinseltown at different times, but while the Hollywood Left was usually more vocal and visible, it was the Right that achieved the most, capturing a Senate seat (Murphy), a governorship (Schwarzenegger), and--ultimately--the Presidency (Reagan).

In Hollywood Left and Right, Steven J. Ross tells an important story that has escaped public attention: the emergence of Hollywood as a vital center of political life and the important role that movie stars have played in shaping the course of American politics. Ever since the film industry relocated to Hollywood early in the twentieth century, it has had an outsized influence on American politics. Through compelling larger-than-life figures in American cinema - Charlie Chaplin, Louis B. Mayer, Edward G. Robinson, George Murphy, Ronald Reagan, Harry Belafonte, Jane Fonda, Charlton Heston, Warren Beatty, and Arnold Schwarzenegger - Hollywood Left and Right reveals how Hollywood's engagement in politics has been longer, deeper, and more varied than most people would imagine. As shown in alternating chapters, the Left and the Right each gained ascendancy in Tinseltown at different times. From Chaplin, whose movies almost always displayed his leftist convictions, to Schwarzenegger's nearly seamless transition from action blockbusters to the California governor's mansion, Ross traces the intersection of Hollywood and political activism from the early twentieth century to the present. Hollywood Left and Right challenges the commonly held belief that Hollywood has always been a bastion of liberalism. The real story, as Ross shows in this passionate and entertaining work, is far more complicated. First, Hollywood has a longer history of conservatism than liberalism. Second, and most surprising, while the Hollywood Left was usually more vocal and visible, the Right had a greater impact on American political life, capturing a senate seat (Murphy), a governorship (Schwarzenegger), and the ultimate achievement, the Presidency (Reagan).

This is an examination of major American and Anglo-American war plans. Rather than discuss the history of planning, Ross considers the execution of the plans, compares the execution with the expectations of the planners and attempts to explain the differences.

What the world has been missing from Manly P. Hall. Here are the last-minute materials that arrived too late to the printer to be included in the "Secret Teaching of All Ages" Masonic Hermetic Cabbalistic & Rosicrucian Symbolic Philosophy. In these previously unpublished 20 lectures given by Manly P. Hall in 1928, we learn from the great philosopher how to further our understanding. In his own words, Manly Hall tells us how he intended individuals to approach, read and study the information within his great book.

For the first time in book form, Dr. Steven A Ross presents the complete laboratory notebook of frequencies (1936), from the Rife Research group, along with the original photographs taken through the mysterious Nemescope, developed by Dr. Elmer P. Nemes. In Part 1, you will find Rife's complete set of original frequencies discovered through the Universal Microscope from 1929-1936. Also, you will find, the heretofore unpublished typewritten pages, in Rife's own words, explaining what he discovered during his research. Rife's Universal microscope was 30 times more powerful than ordinary light-source microscopes eventually obtaining a magnification of 60,000 diameters. Inside you will find the mortal oscillatory rate frequencies discovered by Rife, through the Universal Microscope, to devitalize or destroy various diseases and illnesses during his time. In Part 2, The Nemescope, you will find the purported photographs of atoms and atomic bonds; photographs of the virus of cancer; photographs of a virus associated with Leukemia; virus associated with Multiple Sclerosis; photographs of the polio virus; enzymes; magnetic flux lines and many other interesting and informative photographs. The Nemescope was 50 times more power than Rife's Universal microscope. All of this information has been produced directly from the original and one-of-a-kind laboratory files in possession of the author.
