Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch founder, Larry Klayman describes his efforts to stem abuses in the judiciary and executive branches of our government. He details his legal battles with President and First Lady Bill and Hillary Clinton (Chinagate and Filegate), Vice President Dick Cheney (secret energy commission meetings), and the Bush administration over illegal wiretapping of American citizens. His portraits of the likes of Janet Reno, Fred Thompson, Arlen Spector, Judge Denny Chin (who recently presided over the Madoff trial) and other Clinton insiders Klayman considers unethical, and who have come back to power in the Obama administration, reveal not always flattering sides of their well-cultivated images. Klayman also has choice words to say about media figures such as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Paula Zahn, and he accuses media mogul Rupert Murdoch of sandbagging the original publication of WHORES by HarperCollins because of the book's negative portrait of Roger Ailes and Fox News. Above all, WHORES is an impassioned plea for reform of our judicial system with a number of provocative suggestions.

Photographer, artist, promoter and gallery owner, Michael Judge has led a whirlwind life. He's had two near-death experiences, sold millions of dollars worth of art, and created memorable visual images. In Captured Horizons, Judge writes about his many loves and adventures with unmitigated verve, much as he has lived his life. Whether he's describing his often stormy relationships with women, reminiscing about rubbing shoulders with movie starts, U.S. presidents, Mafiosi, wealthy globetrotters and art forgers, or revealing the inside dope about selling art on cruise ships, he tells it all with refreshing honesty. What emerges is the journey of a complex artist who is never afraid of reinventing himself. Works from Judge's extensive portfolio are interspersed throughout the book, including the spiritually inspired Light Paintings and the America series - the result of crisscrossing the back roads of the United States more than 30 times. In Captured Horizons words and images create a journey which not only captures, but expands our own horizons.

As an answer to the current political and social difficulties we face, author, radio host, and television commentator Armstrong Williams calls for a revival of basic virtues that have gone by the wayside in today's world. Drawing on his upbringing in South Carolina, he discusses such pertinent issues as fatherhood, motherhood, the sanctity of life, the virtues of capitalism and the need for observing the Sabbath to regenerate oneself. But while he discusses traditional virtues from a Christian point of view, there is nothing old-fashioned about his approach. Williams takes on hot button issues such as abortion from new, present-day perspectives, discussing the rights and responsibilities of fathers in the decision-making process. Ultimately, he argues for a revitalization of American society, politics and culture by updating the values of our founding fathers and bringing them full force into the 21st century.
