COMPROMISED is the true story of the Faustian pact that Bill Clinton made as governor of Arkansas. It tells how his unbridled political ambitions and his pledge to create jobs for Arkansas led him to compromise his ideals in exchange for support for his presidential candidacy in 1992. By selling out politically to the Reagan–Bush administration, by giving the Agency free rein to operate a secret training base near the tiny western Arkansas of Mena, and by looking the other way as Arkansas factories turned out untraceable weapons parts for the Nicaraguan Contra “freedom fighters,” the young governor helped create an operation that laundered untold millions of dollars and that enriched Clinton’s political friends and helped finance his campaign fund. The Arkansas-CIA connection became Clinton’s darkest secret, and only now is the tiniest shaft of light being shed on what has become known as the Whitewater Scandal. Coauthor Terry Reed, who helped train Contra pilots in rural Arkansas, became the first person to pull back the shroud on the “Arkansas Connection” long before most people ever heard of Clinton cronies like Webb Hubbell, Clinton’s former associate U.S. attorney-general, who became the first major figure to plead guilty in an ever-widening investigation that is confirming Reed’s disclosures. Former National Security Advisor Bud McFarlane also corroborates Reed’s revelation that former spymaster George Bush was in the center of the Iran-Contra loop, and he, like Reed, paints Bush as a cold-hearted powermonger bent on wrestling the White House away from Ronald Reagan. Reed, who was recruited into the Arkansas operation by Oliver North, reveals in this eyewitness account how the “black operations” in Arkansas worked, from the training of Contra pilots and the manufacture of weapons parts—all in violation of a congressional ban on Contra aid—to the airdrops of cash into Arkansas by CIA operative Barry Seal. Seal disclosed to Reed that more than $9 million a week was dropped from planes onto secret drop zones and later laundered through an investment banking firm whose president had close ties with Clinton.

Why You Behave in Ways You Hate: And What You Can Do About It

Have you ever met anyone who didn't have some behavior he or she couldn't stand? Why do we so often continue to behave in ways that make us unhappy? Why don't we learn from our mistakes? Why does willpower fail? Have you adopted the qualities that you hated in your parents? Do you wonder why? Many of the available self-help books give advice and present general ideas about the cause of our problems but do not provide in-depth insight into the reasons behind our behavior. They don't tell us why it is so difficult to follow their advice or our own desires and to overcome our problems. Why You Behave in Ways You Hate does. Dr. Gootnick explains why children blame themselves for their parents' faults and how this creates hidden, destructive mind-sets that cause the behaviors that plague us. In a clear, straightforward way, he shows you how to see past the psychological blinders that make it difficult for you to see how these mind-sets operate and then to take effective action. Seven charts identify specific behaviors and allow you to look up your personal problem and understand at a glance how it originated or how you may have responded to it. Using individual personality profiles of you and your family members, you will be able to analyze what happened in the past and to institute changes in your thinking and behavior. In addition, because Why You Behave in Ways You Hate is based on family dynamics, it is an invaluable asset for parents working on problems they may have with their children. It will help break the generational cycle of doing to your children what was done to you. Who is this book for? Its for anyone who has difficulty in achieving success in school or a career, who repeatedly get involved in bad relationships, or who have trouble extricating themselves from abusive relationships. It also appeals to parents who have problems with their children, to those who feel insecure, inadequate, or depressed without cause, and to individuals who have problems with addictions or weight control, or who sacrifice their own interests for others.

The volume does not contain an index or bibliographical references. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The world's worst nightmare has become a reality. A militant Middle East terrorist group called the Yassinists has conceived a plot against the Great Satan-the United States-in retribution for decades of suffering that the Palestinians have suffered at the hands of Israel. Operation Desert Decree, as the plan is called, consists of not just an isolated bombing or assassination but an all-out attack involving a number of diversionary targets: a nuclear power plant, the downing of a commercial airliner with Stinger missiles, the seizure of the USS Georgia, a nuclear submarine, and a raid on the hot zone at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta to steal viral material for extortion. But the overwhelming and terrifying goal is the widespread release of the Lubeck-Dorn virus, a newly discovered, extremely virulent infectious disease that has no antidote. 
Arrayed against them is SOC, Inc., a team of medically retired U.S. Navy SEALs hired by Senator Carson, the chairman of the Subcommittee for International Terrorism, to conduct security audits at nuclear and biological facilities throughout the southeastern United States. The senator has communications intelligence that a radical Middle Eastern terrorist organization is planning an attack somewhere in Georgia. The SEALs, led by Commander Derek Evans, tangle with the Yassinists and check their every move, but the race to stave off the release of the viral terror and avert global destruction is a nail-biting tour de force by Simmons, who keeps his readers on the edge of their seats.

By 2005, Latinas will be the largest female minority group in the United States. Numbering over 25 million, one out of every five women in America will be Latina. Unfortunately, this is also the group with the least personal, political, and economic power. They have great untapped talent and strength, but because the vast majority of Latinas, regardless of age, have been taught that their cultural traditions are sacrosanct and should not be questioned, most are not aware of how these very traditions limit them in so many aspects of their lives. Empowering Latinas is written to help these millions of women realize their full potential. It represents an alternative point of view, from a Latina peer who openly and honestly discusses issues such as shame and sexuality, mental health, and the idea of equality as a birthright. Illustrated by dramatic stories of tragedy and triumph by the author and other notable Latinas, Empowering Latinas tackles issues with the Catholic Church, Latino family culture and self-esteem that until now have not been forthrightly addressed. The substantive chapters include worksheets, questionnaires, and exercises designed to help readers recognize negative forces in their lives and methods of empowering themselves to overcome these forces. Affirmations, quotes, poems and anecdotes illustrate ideas, provide cultural references and examples, and lend familiarity to the reader. Interviews with a Latina therapist, a Latina congresswoman and a Catholic priest provide examples and observations from a professional perspective.
