Things I Wish I Had Learned From My Parents

Work: In submitting Captain Carter's strange manuscript to you in book form, I believe that a few words relative to this remarkable personality will be of interest. My first recollection of Captain Carter is of the few months he spent at my father's home in Virginia, just prior to the opening of the civil war. I was then a child of but five years, yet I well remember the tall, dark, smooth-faced, athletic man whom I called Uncle Jack. He seemed always to be laughing; and he…

newsletter. Preface A preface to the first edition of ‘Jane Eyre’ being unnecessary, I gave none: this second edition demands a few words both of acknowledgment and miscellaneous remark. My thanks are due in three quarters. To the Public, for the indulgent ear it has inclined to a plain tale with few pretensions. To the Press, for the fair field its honest suffrage has opened to an obscure aspirant. To my Publishers, for the aid their tact, their energy, their practical sense…

Twenty-fifth Anniversary Edition Many people have asked me how I feel about the fact that The Fountainhead has been in print for twenty-five years. I cannot say that I feel anything in particular, except a kind of quiet satisfaction.

principal character in the first of two novels from Fuyumi Ono's epic series, The Twelve Kingdoms, that together form the foundation of the subsequent narratives. It is also where the NHK anime series begins. However, the anime conflates several plot elements and invents others. Sugimoto, for example, does not accompany Youko to the Twelve Kingdoms.

and—perhaps most importantly to us—quality. Hard Work From an Early Age Juran’s could be considered a classic Horatio Alger story. Born in Romania on Dec. 24, 1904, he emigrated to Minneapolis with his family in 1912 in hope of escaping poverty and the threat of violence against Jews. Unfortunately, it took a while for the family’s financial fortunes to improve, especially after the death of Juran’s mother in 1920 from tuberculosis. From almost the moment he arrived in the United…
