  EXPLODING FISTS … BREAKING BOUNDARIES … DEFYING ODDS …BONE-BLASTING … SPINE-SHATTERING … BOX-OFFICE-BUSTING …When a Hollywood studio released Five Fingers of Death to thrill-seeking Times Square moviegoers in 1973, only a handful of Black and Asian audience members knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagle’s Claw. That changed overnight as Five Fingerskicked off a kung fu craze that would earn millions at the box office, send TV ratings soaring, influence the birth of hip hop, reshape the style of action we see in movies today, and introduce America to some of the biggest non-white stars to ever hit motion picture screens.This book tells the spine-shattering story of how these films of fury came to America and raised hell until greed, infomercials, and racist fearmongering shut them down. It’s about an 11-year-old boy who not only created the first fan edit but somehow turned it into a worldwide moneymaker, CIA agents secretly funding a karate movie, the New York Times fabricating a fear campaign about black “karate gangs” out to kill white people, the history of black martial arts in America, the death of Bruce Lee and the onslaught of imitators that followed, and how a fight that started in Japanese internment camps during World War II ended in a ninja movie some 40 years later.It’s a battle for recognition and respect that started a long, long time ago and continues to this day in movies like The Matrix, Kill Bill, and Black Panther. Here, for the first time, is the full uncensored story.

  Oh, we love the halls of Ivy that surround us here today. And, we will not forget though we be far, far away. 
  From the creator of the Fibber McGee & Molly radio program, The Halls of Ivy presents real-life husband and wife Ronald Colman and Benita Hume as the first couple of Ivy College: William Toddhunter (“Toddy”) Hall and his wife, Victoria (“Vicky”) Cromwell Hall, a former actress of the British comedy stage. 
  Although President Hall is an erudite and polished professor, he is completely unpretentious and truly concerned for the well-being of the students and faculty. Vicky – who is always at his side, and on his side – keeps her husband in check with her playful and down to earth ways. 
  When called upon to stand behind beleaguered students, practice politics with integrity, address the ever-pressing need to fill the school’s coffers, or even sort out affairs of the heart, the couple faces the challenge with a warmth, wit, and wisdom unmatched on any other sitcom of the day. 
  This cultured collection contains eight digitally restored and remastered episodes; performances by Herb Butterfield, Willard Waterman, Gale Gordon, Arthur Q. Bryan, Gloria Gordon, and Alan Reed. 
  Episodes Include: Student Thief 02-24-50, Merton Savada’s Crush 03-03-50, Victoria’s New Review 03-10-50, Dirty Politics 03-17-50, Professor Gearhart’s Secret 03-24-50, Chamber Music Knockwurst Society 03-31-50, Toddy Plays Hookey 04-07-50, Lost Dog 04-14-50
