  Carol Schultz Vento recounts the post-World War II years of her famous father "Dutch" Schultz. 
  "Carol Schultz Vento's testimonial and others like it do not diminish the wartime generation's accomplishments but suggest that the price they paid was far higher, the toll extracted from them and their families far greater, and their struggles far more protracted than the glossy tributes to the 'Greatest Generation' would have us believe. It in is the end a cautionary tale, reminding us that if as a last resort we send soldiers into harm's way, we should be under no illusions about war's colossal human costs, remembering that even in the most brilliant triumphs there is heartbreak and that the suffering does not stop when the shooting does." --- Thomas Childers 
  Daughters, fathers and war - three words seldom used together. 
  In "The Hidden Legacy of World War II: A Daughter's Journey", Carol Schultz Vento weaves life with her paratrooper father into the larger narrative of World War II and the homecoming of the Greatest Generation. The book describes the seldom told story of how the war trauma of World War II impacted one family. This personal story is combined with the author's thorough research and investigation of the reality for those World War II veterans who could not forget the horrors of war. This nonfiction work fills in the missing pieces of the commonly accepted societal view of World War II veterans as stoic and unwavering, a true but incomplete portrait of that generation of warrior. About the author: Carol Schultz Vento is a former Political Science professor and attorney. She is a graduate of Temple University and Rutgers University School of Law. She is the daughter of 82nd Airborne World War II veteran Arthur "Dutch" Schultz. Carol is a native of Philadelphia and lives in Palmyra, New Jersey.

  THIS EXPLOSIVE INVESTIGATION REVEALS THE PROFOUND FAILURES OF THE TITLE IX SYSTEM AND IDENTIFIES THE STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO PROTECT STUDENTS 
   
  On the Wrong Side provides the first comprehensive account of the inner workings of the secretive Title IX system. Drawing on a yearlong study of survivors, perpetrators, and the administrators who oversaw their cases, sociologist Nicole Bedera exposes the structures that predictably punish survivors who come forward in the service of protecting—or even rewarding—their perpetrators. She reveals that the system tasked with ending gender inequality on campus only intensifies it, upending survivors’ lives and threatening their degrees. 
   
  Equally heartbreaking and optimistic, On the Wrong Side makes it easy to imagine life-changing interventions for the next generation of students by proposing specific solutions to the structural problems of Title IX. Bedera proves that ending campus sexual violence is within our grasp—and dares us to be courageous enough to take action. 
   
  “Nicole Bedera is one of the most important thinkers of our time about sexual violence on campus. I am grateful for her work.”—Peggy Orenstein, New York Times–bestselling author of Boys & Sex: Young Men on Hookups, Love, Porn, Consent, and Navigating the New Masculinity

  The Tu Quoque Fallacy -...

  The Tu Quoque fallacy, often referred to as the "appeal to hypocrisy," is a form of argumentation where an individual deflects criticism by accusing the accuser of the same flaw or wrongdoing. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism, the person making this fallacious argument focuses on the accuser’s behavior, thereby shifting the attention away from the original issue. This technique is often employed to avoid dealing with uncomfortable truths and to undermine the credibility of the person making the accusation. While the Tu Quoque fallacy may seem like a valid rebuttal in certain situations, it is inherently flawed because it does not address the merit of the argument but instead aims to discredit the opponent by pointing out their perceived hypocrisy. 
  The term "Tu Quoque" is derived from Latin, meaning "you too" or "you also." It is a logical misstep in which the argument shifts from the issue at hand to the behavior or actions of the accuser. For example, if person A criticizes person B for smoking, and person B responds by saying, "But you smoke too," this response deflects the criticism without actually addressing the harmful effects of smoking. By focusing on the accuser's actions, the fallacy diverts attention from the original point and diminishes the potential for meaningful discussion. 
  This fallacy is common in many aspects of modern discourse, particularly in political debates, social media discussions, and even in personal relationships. In public debates, individuals or groups may use the Tu Quoque fallacy to avoid engaging with difficult questions, redirecting the conversation toward the alleged hypocrisy of their opponents rather than addressing the real issues. In personal relationships, it may appear as a defensive reaction to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions or mistakes.

  America has an array of women writers who have made history--and many of them lived, died and were buried in Virginia. Gothic novelists, writers of westerns and African American poets, these writers include a Pulitzer Prize winner, the first woman writer to be named poet laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the first woman to top the bestseller lists in the twentieth century. Mary Roberts Rinehart was a best-selling mystery author often called the "American Agatha Christie." Anne Spencer was an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance. V.C. Andrews was so popular that when she died, a court ruled that her name was taxable, and the poetry of Susan Archer Talley Weiss received praise from Edgar Allan Poe. Professor and cemetery history enthusiast Sharon Pajka has written a guide to their accomplishments in life and to their final resting places.

  Policy making is a crucial aspect of governance that directly influences the well-being of citizens and the development of a nation. It is designed to promote the general welfare of the population, addressing issues such as health, education, and public safety to ensure that the needs of citizens are met. Economic policies play a significant role in managing the economy by promoting growth, reducing unemployment, and controlling inflation, which leads to a more stable and prosperous society. 
    
  Moreover, policy making is essential for reducing social inequalities by providing support to disadvantaged groups through measures related to housing, social security, and anti-discrimination. Environmental policies are also vital for the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of ecosystems, addressing issues such as climate change, pollution, and conservation. In terms of national security, policies related to defense, immigration, and foreign relations are critical for maintaining security and protecting the country from external threats. 
    
  Policy making also encourages innovation and progress by funding research and development, supporting new technologies, and creating a favorable environment for entrepreneurship. It provides a framework for regulation and oversight, ensuring that industries operate fairly and safely, covering areas such as financial regulations, consumer protection laws, and labor standards. Additionally, the policy-making process allows for public participation and democratic governance, giving citizens a voice in how they are governed and ensuring their interests are represented.
