The 1974 George C. Polk Award exposé that blew the lid off the incredibly lucrative nursing home industry, showing how it exploited America's old people and defrauded us all. Reissued with a behind the scenes look at how the powerful chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Long-Term Care tried to kill the book. As relevant today for long-term care and health care in general as it was when it first came out. Fraud, swindles, corruption, organized crime-bigger today than ever-the better part of a trillion dollars a year, and just as hidden as it was forty years ago.

Lissalei is an Sicilian born artist living in Australia. Her work is well known on a number of online art sites and has an international following. On one hand, her work could be called outsider art-self taught, not part of any traditional art community, work that often carries a strong social concern-but on the other, having honed her skills by studying nature and the works of artists like John Godward and John Fitzgerald, she aptly shows a skillful eye and a contemporary spirit that deeply respects the masters.     She moved from oils and pastels to working in porcelain, which she quickly mastered; but a devastating accident made working in porcelain difficult, and seven years ago she turned her attentions to digital art. Most of the works in Butterfly Spheres are digital. This collection avoids her more outsider-like art, mainly because it was created at relatively low, monitor resolutions and because it doesn't show off her sense of color, shape and rhyme, let alone her skills, as much as these do.      Butterfly Spheres  is one of her better known images. Curiously, she had never seen any work by Joseph Cornell, to whom Butterfly Spheres could easily be an homage, when she made it. It is this sense of discovery, evolving style, and exploration that makes her work so appealing.     Thirty-six images, 42 pages. Paper, 8 x 10.
