Hailed as one of Boston’s most beloved mayors and its longest serving, Thomas Menino (1942–2014) deftly managed the city’s finances and transformed Boston into the hub of innovation that it is today. During his time in office, Boston embraced modern industrial growth and moved forward with noteworthy developments that altered neighborhoods, while also facing ongoing racial strife, challenges of unaffordable housing, and significant public union negotiations. Mayors in modern American cities occupy unique positions as government leaders who need to remain active parts of their communities in addition to being tasked with fixing neighborhood issues, managing crises, and keeping schools and public infrastructure on course. Situating news coverage alongside interviews with the mayor and his administration, political scientist Wilbur C. Rich chronicles Menino’s time in office while also considering his personal and professional background, his larger-than-life personality, and his ambitions. Menino’s approach to these challenges and opportunities offers enduring lessons to anyone interested in urban government and political leadership.

The loss of my mother was all I could think about as I sat on a limb in the cherry tree which towered over the hog lot. But when I woke up the next morning in my own bunk with the clean white sheets and my very own flashlight, surrounded by other boys my age, I knew I was in for an amazing life. We dressed and went down to breakfast and what a spread It was made complete by eating in a large room with 35 other boys and girls and to top that off, we had peach preserves and homemade butter on hot biscuits. What a life for a five-year-old. We kids played long hours in the hills of Beattyville, KY. Christmas was packed with gifts and food given to us from Taylor Tire in Lexington. They took us to the Shrine Circus every year and gave us airplane rides, too. Man, what better life could a kid ask for? Except when I popped open the window of the plane and we thought we were going to be sucked out Jack and Helen Brown knew something about running an orphanage. We raised much of our own food and animals and he owned a blacktopping company where we boys worked. Fearing for my life in boarding schools made me aware of my surroundings, and being expelled for throwing a dirt clot over a staff member's head was no fun either. Finally a boarding school where I was appreciated and where I would meet the love of my life. Then on to Paris Island, NC to meet up with Uncle Sam We hit it off from the start. Oh wait That drill instructor that "leaped in my chest"; oh well, it only hurt till I could breathe again. Vietnam, Fire Department, Church, Royal Rangers, Retirement, Family; my three angels have always been there. You will meet them.

Damon Clark could truly be called the Yo-Yo man. From award winning stock broker, to homeless man, to President of the United States, Damon surely deserves that title. He led our country for two terms and made us aware of and avoided the invisible monster waiting to crush us.
Our Father Below is pleased with the work of the demons in the Lowerarchy of hell to create division and contention among the people of Earth in the twenty-first century. However, he is angered by the growing interest in the ideas of humility and zeal that Christian leaders have discovered in the Enemy's two-thousand-year-old propaganda. These ideas have been formalized into two related, abhorrent concepts: servant leadership and level 5 leadership. Servant leadership describes individuals who begin with a natural desire to serve first, and then conscious choice causes them to aspire to lead. Level 5 leadership, from Good to Great by Jim Collins, combines the paradoxical blend of humility and zeal. Marduk, a thoroughly ruthless and cruel demon, mentors his naive and hapless nephew Slugtoad. Marduk assigns Slugtoad to a male and a female patient in America who have the potential to be strong Christian leaders. In his letters, Marduk advises Slugtoad to guide the patients away from effective leadership. The first section of the book is comprised of the Marduk letters, while the second section provides the scholarship and research of servant and level 5 leadership.
