1000 tulosta hakusanalla Elliot Liebow
Is a magical Carey Price bobblehead the key to Elliot's success on the ice? Eleven-year-old Elliot loves hockey and finally convinces his parents to sign him up. There's just one problem: he can barely skate. But he is determined. He practices every chance he gets and even takes extra lessons. He is still miles behind the rest of his teammates in terms of skills and speed, though. So when the goalie gets injured, Elliot surprises everyone by offering to take his place. He figures his "jelly-legs" won't be quite so obvious in net. He is wrong. The first game is a complete disaster. In desperation, Elliot begs his Carey Price bobblehead for a win. Both thrilled and surprised when his wish is granted, Elliot makes more wishes. His team keeps winning. But is the magic real? And what will happen if his teammates discover the secret to Elliot's success? With twenty-five hockey-card-style illustrations scattered throughout, this is a heartfelt story of friendship, hockey and the importance of believing in yourself. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

Elliot Richardson: The Virtue of Politics
Tom Vance

This is an updated edition, referencing recent scholarship on Elliot L. Richardson (1920-1999). Originally available as an online publication by the Council for Excellence in Government in 2000, the first on-demand edition came out in 2014. Richardson has the distinction of holding two records in American history. As a lawyer, he was the only person to serve as a U.S. Attorney, State Attorney General, and U.S. Attorney General. As a politician, he headed four federal cabinet departments: the former Health, Education & Welfare; Defense; Justice; and Commerce. His legacy as a brilliant and versatile public servant is equaled by only a handful of Americans. But he is primarily remembered for his courageous actions as U.S. Attorney General during the 1973 Watergate investigation. Although he served in this post for only five months, his tenure at the Justice Department has no precedent. While widely known for his resignation over Watergate, less known is that he was responsible for the simultaneous investigations of both Vice President Spiro T. Agnew and President Richard M. Nixon. Richardson succeeded in persuading the Vice President to resign, clearing the way for the appointment of Gerald R. Ford as vice president before President Nixon became the first president to resign from office. Richardson believed that "politics is the most difficult of the arts and the noblest of professions." Tom Vance, MA in U.S. History with a concentration in biography from Western Michigan University, is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve. He is the editor of "Selected Speeches of Elliot Richardson." Nicholas V. Prass is a Cum Laude graduate from Great Lakes Christian College, Michigan, with a double major in History and Bible Theology.
