  Joseph Pulitzer always loved the word liberty. It’s no surprise that when he first saw Lady Liberty’s head in Paris, Pulitzer shared sculptor Auguste Bartholdi’s dream of seeing France’s gift of friendship stand in New York’s harbor. Frustrated that Americans, especially wealthy New Yorkers, were not interested in paying for the statue’s pedestal, Pulitzer used his newspaper, the World, to call on all Americans to contribute. This is the inspiring story of how one immigrant brought together young and old, rich and poor, to raise funds for a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty, an everlasting beacon of freedom.

  "The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets—like Slave and Master morality, the Superman—can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects. "Truth and Falsity," and "The Greek Woman" are probably the two essays which will prove most attractive to the average reader."

  Gambling on hope, Evil Eddie and his bad guy friends, feed the hungry slot machines in a small town casino. Work for them is borrowing money by day and gambling by night. A sad story for a bunch of no-good-nicks, but that's all they have is hope... The hope of winning a "Big Jackpot" at the Casino. 
  Fast forward to the year 2050! The casino has been torn down to make room for a Supermall. Not just any Supermall, but one with a very special wishing well. A wishing well filled with magic coins! The Supermall is owned and operated by the dynamic Miss Kelly Kelly who has one very special employee, an alien, with superhero powers! But this Superhero is different. Although he has a cape, he doesn't have a secret identity. He willingly uses his superpowers at his job as the "handy, but sometimes clumsy" alien in the mall. One of his jobs involves granting wishes and cleaning the wishing well, which is full of magic coins. His name is Hoodoo. 
  One day, while showing the wishing well to a local radio announcer, Jack Stumbleberry, Hoodoo accidentally gets sucked down the drain. The drain is a time portal, and Hoodoo is hurled through it. He travels back in time and lands in the casino dripping with water and magic coins. 
  Evil Eddie claims the magic coins as his winnings from the slot machine and tells Hoodoo he won them fair and square. Then with the help of his henchmen, Eddie locks Hoodoo in a big freezer to keep him quiet and out of sight. 
  Now that Hoodoo is out of the picture, Evil Eddie uses the power of the magic coins to take control of the town...
