Summary

Reproductive Rights explores the multifaceted history of reproductive control in the United States, tracing its evolution from the early 20th century to today. The book examines how struggles over bodily autonomy have shaped law, medicine, and political power. It highlights intriguing historical events, such as the eugenics movement's impact on reproductive policies and the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which initially established a woman's right to an abortion but has since faced numerous challenges. This book uniquely connects the fight for reproductive rights to broader battles for social justice and gender equality, emphasizing the fundamental right to privacy.

 
It begins by defining key concepts like reproductive freedom and legal precedents before delving into the fight for contraception access, including the pivotal Griswold v. Connecticut case. The book methodically progresses through the rise of the anti-abortion movement and the current state of reproductive rights, examining the influence of the Supreme Court and state-level legislation.

 
Drawing on legal documents, historical archives, and public health data, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the ongoing debates surrounding abortion, contraception, and healthcare access. It offers a balanced perspective, acknowledging the complex and diverse viewpoints that inform this critical issue, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of reproductive rights in the United States.

    The False Promise of Superiority...

    This political analysis exposes the fanciful logic that the United States can use nuclear weapons to vanquish nuclear adversaries or influence them when employing various coercive tactics. 
     
     
     
    During the Cold War, American policymakers sought nuclear advantages to offset an alleged Soviet edge. Policymakers hoped that US nuclear capabilities would safeguard deterrence, when backed perhaps by a set of coercive tactics. But policymakers also hedged their bets with plans to fight a nuclear war to their advantage should deterrence fail. In The False Promise of Superiority, James H. Lebovic argues that the US approach was fraught with peril and remains so today. He contends that the United States can neither simply impose its will on nuclear adversaries nor safeguard deterrence using these same coercive tactics without risking severe, counterproductive effects. As Lebovic shows, the current faith in US nuclear superiority could produce the disastrous consequences that US weapons and tactics are meant to avoid. This book concludes that US interests are best served when policymakers resist the temptation to use, or prepare to use, nuclear weapons first or to brandish nuclear weapons for coercive effect.

    Neville Goddard (February 19, 1905 – October 1, 1972) was born in St. Michael, Barbados, and came to the US in 1922 to study drama and dance. While touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics. After his return to New York he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. While living in Los Angeles in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio. In his lectures and books Neville dealt with what he called "The Law" and "The Promise," which relate to the method of creating one's physical reality through imagining. The following recording is from a 1968 lecture.

    The Great American West is a series that was originally done on radio narrated by Jeff Tracy and Berry Burks.
     
    Jeff Tracy’s radio career started in college and is still going on to this day. Jeff has hosted seven different syndicated shows, covering, Horses, rodeo, history, BBQ and golf. Jeff appears on television as The Cowboy Cook and has appeared in movies.

    The voice of Dallas McKennon is featured in this series. Dallas played Cincinnatus on the Daniel Boone show with Fess Parker. Dallas also voiced hundreds of characters for Walt Disney and acted in dozens of movies and TV shows.
     
    In each episode of The Great American West, we explore the facts, myths and the fiction about significant events or historical figures in our western heritage. You’ll hear stories about Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Jesse James, Bell Star, Annie Oakley and many others. The stories were written by a group of ex-Hollywood writers and American West history experts. The Great American West stories were written only with facts and no theory. These stories were crafted prior to the advent of the internet, meaning they had to read books, periodicals and transcripts. The idea was to let the listener make up their own minds.
     
    Our fine cadre of writers was headed by our lead writer, Patty Sprigg, who wrote for NBC television, The Daniel Boone and Disney shows among others. Nancy Bacon who wrote for NBC and David Nivens Four Star Productions. Rounding out our stable of writers was Ted Bryant, news anchor, political analyst and historical scholar.
     
    We hope you enjoy listening to The Great American West as we really enjoyed voicing these shows.

    As Canada was in the grips of the worst pandemic in a century, Canadian media struggled to tell the story. Newsrooms, already run on threadbare budgets, struggled to make broader connections that could allow their audience to better understand what was really happening, and why. Politicians and public health officials were mostly given the benefit of the doubt that what they said was true and that they acted in good faith.
    		 
    This book documents each month of the first year of the pandemic and examines the issues that emerged, from racialized workers to residential care to policing. It demonstrates how politicians and uncritical media shaped the popular understanding of these issues and helped to justify the maintenance of a status quo that created the worst ravages of the crisis. Spin Doctors argues alternative ways in which Canadians should understand the big themes of the crisis and create the necessary knowledge to demand large-scale change.
