  "JFK Assassination—What They Told Me" unveils a treasury of knowledge crafted by William Holiday, a dedicated educator with a passion for unraveling the truths behind the JFK assassination. In this book lies an extensive compendium of photographs, film segments, interviews, recordings, and documents, offering listeners a journey through the event's multifaceted dimensions. 
  A career educator, not a traditional researcher, William Holiday spent over five decades sharing his profound insights with students. From his years at Dummerston Elementary School to Brattleboro Union High School, and through his tenure at Keene State College and Castleton University, he fostered intellectual growth. His teachings on the JFK assassination, which spanned more than 50 years, extended most recently to the CALL Program at Keene State, where his classes often involved field studies in Dallas, Texas. 
  Notably, Holiday refrains from adopting the labels of "conspiracy theorist" or a staunch advocate of the "lone nut assassin" theory endorsed by the Warren Commission. Instead, he serves as a conduit for the firsthand accounts he has accumulated over time. The witnesses he introduces, ranging from researchers to doctors, provide unique perspectives that challenge conventional narratives. The book echoes the voices of those who were on the scene, including a young lady, an ambulance driver, an automobile salesman, and a deaf observer—all of whom recount their experiences in Dealey Plaza on November 22. 
  PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

  Animals and the Greco-Roman...

  Editors Charles River

  There were approximately 1,500 Greek city-states (poleis) in the Classical era, and sacrifices featured in every one of them. As such, animals were constantly involved in the core elements of Greek society and cults, and this centrality could be found in the numerous depictions of animals on coins and vases throughout Greece and Greek colonies. Greek thinkers and philosophers also endlessly debated issues relating to animals, which resulted in the Greeks acquiring formidable knowledge about the creatures with whom they came in contact. All the while, animals were important sources of food, companionship, and labor, and they also featured significantly in warfare. 
  Another use for foreign animals was in the preparation of medicines. Animals captured during military conflicts were considered spoils of war, suggesting their status was that of an object. On the other hand, reflecting the Greek ambiguity and ambivalence toward their status, various philosophical debates of the time indicate that animals could also be prosecuted for committing crimes and punished accordingly. It is also apparent that ancient Greeks knew a considerable amount about their animals, as various written works that survived often reflected the ethical and scientific debates surrounding them. 
  Other than the tale of the she-wolf with Romulus and Remus, the overriding images and stories of Roman animals that have come down through popular culture to modern times largely concern the vicious animal fights put on in the Colosseum, stories of Christians being thrown to the lions, and Hannibal's invasion of Italy with elephants. Indeed, the widely accepted view is that Romans were uncommonly brutal to their animals and had little empathy for them, and in terms of the Romans' scientific knowledge about animals, it appears much of it came to them from the Greeks.

  The Gilded Age was a period in American history that covered the late 19th century, from the 1870s till around 1900. The Gilded Age was a period of great financial development in the United States, specifically in the North and West. The time saw an increase of countless European immigrants as American incomes were considerably higher than those in Europe, specifically for experienced workers, while industrialization demanded an ever-increasing common labor force. 
  Between 1860 and 1890, the quick growth of market led to a sixty percent boost in real salaries, which was dispersed over an ever-increasing manpower. The typical annual wage for a commercial worker (consisting of men, women, and kids) increased by 48 percent from $380 in 1880 to $564 in 1890. On the other hand, the Gilded Age was also a time of severe poverty and inequality, as countless immigrants-- many from poor parts-- gathered to the United States, bringing with them a high concentration of wealth that ended up being more obvious and controversial.
