When Jasmine gets the call that her father has died, she immediately heads home to Stillcreek, Pennsylvania. Having been gone for years, she thought she had shed the small town and the insecure girl that she once was. However, returning home opens up all of the old wounds she thought she had mended and brings back her panic attacks and inability to deal with her overbearing sisters. The only thing that seems to pacify her anxiety is Cody Baker. Cody has a way of making her feel calm when she needs it the most. Opening up to this stranger she meets on a train, Jasmine lets him in when the walls she has so carefully constructed start to crumble from grief. It may appear that Jasmine is the only one in need, but as most things go, appearances can be deceiving. Perhaps she is not the one who truly needs salvation.

Why Communism? Plain Talks on Vital ProblemsNew York: Daily Worker, 1934. One of several printings of Olgin's strident "Third Period" polemic, first published in 1933.This version presumably issued to coincide with the 1934 midterm elections. Olgin, editor of the Yiddish communist daily Freiheit, characterizes the New Deal as thinly-disguised fascism and calls for the immediate overthrow of Capitalism by any means necesssary.You have much at stake in this establishment -- your whole life. It is yours, more than the owner's. It is part of your very self.As to bankers and brokers, real estate operators and promoters -- they do not produce anything essential to human life although they have the lion's share of control over production.

The Syrian regime, ruled by the Ba'th socialist party and headed by presidents from the Alawi minority, faces problems of legitimacy vis-a-vis its people, which it tackles through powerful security organizations and the state media. The government media machine exists to express the regime's viewpoint in both local and external spheres, and to promote acceptance of the legitimacy of Asad's presidency and government. The media also attempts to mobilize the masses to act in the service of the state by disseminating information which reflects Asad's position on current issues. The organs of the regime -- army, party, security services, national and local authorities -- are proclaimed as acting by order of the president. While personal commitment to the legitimacy of Hafiz al-Asad is the principal 'article of faith', this message is supported by complementary messages -- Asad being true to the Moslem faith; Asad as historic leader; Asad as the focus of identity of all Syrian citizens; the 'crimes' of the Moslem Brotherhood, etc. -- and vociferous political discourse.

Based on the premise that politics is not primary but rather based on religion, philosophy, and culture, treats these topics in relation to the three religions. Ch. 5 (pp. 127-162), "War: The Islamic Assault on the West and Israel, " concludes that the Muslims have a natural lust for power and that from the mid-20th century there has been a clash between the Arab world, which is seeking hegemony, and the West in general and Israel in particular. Focuses on the "jihad, " or religious war, of Islamic fundamentalism and of the PLO. Notes the desire of Muslim fundamentalists to eliminate the last Jew and to dejudaize Jerusalem so that it will become the world capital of militant Islam.
