A fool for a client

David Kessler
WHEN IT'S A MUSLIM, IT'S A TERRORIST. WHEN IT'S AN IRISH NATIONALIST, IT'S A FREEDOM FIGHTER! That at least was the attitude of the American judge who refused to extradite Sean Murphy to stand trial for planting a bomb in a London shopping mall that killed an Indian doctor and a three-year-old kid. Now Murphy is dead and 23-year-old American medical student Justine Levy is on trial in New York for his murder - conducting her own defense and resisting all offers of help from her young, black standby-counsel. But the evidence is circumstantial and the beautiful but vulnerable Justine remains tight-lipped. Was she a vigilante or was it personal? Did she know the child or the Indian doctor? Is she guilty? For her lawyer it IS personal because he is falling for her. But who will ultimately decide her fate? The jury? The ruthless gunman who has come to New York to kill her? Or another man who has come in pursuit of the gunman with a ruthlessness equal to that of Justine? David Kessler's first thriller doesn't just excite and mystify, it also asks some tough questions about vigilante justice and the rights of the victim.

The Conquest of Space

David Lasser
David Lasser stands as one of the least-known but extraordinary pioneers of spaceflight. In 1930 he founded the American Interplanetary Society (AIAA) -- the same year he wrote this book -- the first book ever written in the English language to address the notion of spaceflight as a serious possibility. The book has not been in print since 1931 and yet it still stands up to scrutiny. The lucid style with which Lasser explains the basic concepts of rocketry make it a delight for anyone to read.

Arkansas

David Leavitt
David Leavitt's reputation has rested upon stories and novels that explicate a sedate, upper-middle class world of reserved emotions and sexuality. In his new collection of three novellas Arkansas, he explores new territory. Droll, surprising, and very sexy, these works often shock and startle the reader. In "The Term Paper Artist," a writer named David Leavitt writes school papers for cute undergraduates in exchange for sexual favors, and in "Saturn Street." a gay man who delivers lunches to homebound people with AIDS falls in love with one of his clients. Beautifully written and alarmingly funny, Arkansas is one of the best works of gay fiction in years.

Louder Voices The Corporate Welfare Bums

David Lewis
In 1972, federal NDP leader David Lewis launched an attack on Canada's corporate welfare system, citing the millions of dollars in government subsidies to the wealthy Aluminum Company of Canada, Canadian Westinghouse, and the Michelin Tire Company. Later Lewis added Shell Canada, Denison Mines, Cominco, Dofasco, Falconbridge, Bell Canada, Canadian General Electric and dozens of others to his list of corporate giants permitted by government to escape paying their fair share of income taxes. In Louder Voices: The Corporate Welfare Bums Lewis provided the detailed facts and analysis supporting his charge that "government and big business are holding hands--in your pocket."
