In a world of unpredictable forces racing headlong toward an uncertain future, how can a single individual control his own fate? How can he safeguard the well-being of his family, the prosperity of his group and the security of his nation?

Or should he endeavor by whatever means, through whatever plan, to secure the future for those he cherishes and the society in which he lives? Here, then, is L. Ron Hubbard’s unforgettable answer to such questions.

Ezra and Nehemiah tell the story of those who return to Judah to rebuild the temple and Jerusalem. In fact, little more than 40,000 people return, only about 10% of the Jewish population in the Persian Empire. Esther tells the story of the 90% who remain behind. This is a fabulous story - and Dr. Creasy tells us the “X-rated” version!

There have been many names given to these kinds of “non-experiences”, depending on what tradition or viewpoint they are being seen from.

Toda la sensibilidad de una poeta genial, eximia representante del surrealismo poético. Nacida en 1936 en Argentina, desde muy chica se distinguió del resto no sólo a causa de su origen ruso judío, sus problemas con el acné y el peso, su tendencia depresiva y una corta vida (murió a los 36 años), sino por ser la autora intelectual de un vigoroso legado poético que la encumbró a la categoría de inmortal.

Radio Westerns were strictly for kids until 1952, when Gunsmoke hit the radio airwaves. The stories were grim, the deaths brutal, and life on the plains was harsh. Radio audiences had never heard anything like Gunsmoke, and they made it the number one Western on the radio. It soon made a successful transition to television, becoming the longest-running dramatic series in television history.
