The Secret War in El Paso

Mexican Revolutionary Intrigue, 1906-1920

By: Charles H. Harris,Louis R. Sadler

Winner of the 2010 Spur Award for Best Contemporary Nonfiction from Western Writers of America The Mexican Revolution could not have succeeded without the use of American territory as a secret base of operations, a source of munitions, money, and volunteers, a refuge for personnel, an arena for propaganda, and a market for revolutionary loot. El Paso, the largest and most important American city on the Mexican border during this time, was the scene of many clandestine operations as American businesses and the U.S. federal government sought to maintain their influences in Mexico and protect national interest while keeping an eye on key Revolutionary figures. In addition, the city served as refuge to a cast of characters that included revolutionists, adventurers, smugglers, gunrunners, counterfeiters, propagandists, secret agents, double agents, criminals, and confidence men. Using 80,000 pages of previously classified FBI documents on the Mexican Revolution and hundreds of Mexican secret agent reports from El Paso and Ciudad Juarez in the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Relations archive, Charles Harris and Louis Sadler examine the mechanics of rebellion in a town where factional loyalty was fragile and treachery was elevated to an art form. As a case study, this slice of El Paso's, and America's, history adds new dimensions to what is known about the Mexican Revolution.

The Selected Works of Louis Becke

By: Louis Becke

In that delightful and exciting book, written by Captain Joshua Slocum, and entitled, "Sailing Alone Round the World," there is a part wherein the adventurous American seaman relates how he protected himself from night attacks by the savages by a simple, but efficient precaution. It was his custom, when he anchored for the night off the snow-clad and inhospitable shores of Tierra del Fuego, to profusely sprinkle his cutter's deck with sharp tacks, and then calmly turn in and sleep the sleep of the just; for even the horny soles of the Fuegian foot is susceptible to the business end of a tack; and, as I read Slocum's story, I smiled, and thought of dear old Yorke and the Francesco. I first met Yorke early in the "seventies." Our vessel had run in under the lee of the South Cape of New Britain to wood and water, and effect some repairs, for in working northward through the Solomon Group, on a special mission to a certain island off the coast of New Guinea, we had met with heavy weather, and had lost our foretopmast. In those days there was not a single white man living on the whole of the south coast of New Britain, from St. George's Channel on the east, to Dampier's Straits on the west—a stretch of more than three hundred miles, and little was known of the natives beyond the fact of their being treacherous cannibals. In Blanche Bay only, on the northern shore, was there a settlement of a few adventurous English traders—the employees of a rich German company—and these were only acquainted with the natives in their own vicinity. Even the masters of trading vessels avoided the south coast of the great island, not only on account of the dangerous character of its inhabitants, but also because there was not, they thought, anything to tempt them to risk their and their crews' lives—for the shore nearly everywhere presented a line of dense unbroken forest, with but scanty groves of coco-palms at long intervals, and even had there been many such groves, no communication could be had with the people. In the wild days of the "seventies" the practice of cutting up and drying the coconut into what is known as "copra" had scarcely made any headway in those parts of New Britain, New Ireland, and the Solomon and New Hebrides Groups which were visited by trading vessels—the nuts were turned into oil by a crude and wasteful process known as "rotting." The captain of our little vessel was one of the oldest and most experienced trading skippers in the Western Pacific, grim, resolute, and daring, but yet cautious of his men's lives, if not of his own; so when he decided to anchor under the lee of the South Cape, he chose a part of the coast which seemed to be but scantily inhabited. The dense forest which came down to the water's edge concealed from view any village that might have been near us; but the presence of smoke arising from various spots denoted that there were some natives living in the vicinity, though we could not see any canoes. We brought to about half a mile from the shore. Two boats were at once lowered, manned, and armed, and under the captain's guidance, set out to search for water, which we knew we should have but little difficulty in finding, even on the south coast of New Britain, which is not nearly so well watered as the northern shore of the island. In the captain's boat were six men besides himself; I was in charge of the covering boat, manned by six native seamen and carrying three water-casks—all we could stow. Pulling in together, close to the shore, the captain then went ahead, my boat following at the regulation distance of fifty yards, only four hands rowing in each, leaving four men to keep a look-out for natives.

FISH FARM

By: Louis Romano

Sicilian BLOODLINES run thick . . . Gino Ranno and the Miceli family share a friendship that has lasted generations, from the mountains of western Sicily in 1890 to today’s New York landscape of the Hamptons and East Harlem. Lucho Gonzales, a drug dealer from Colombia with a penchant for sex and murder, has no friends—only the wild companionship of a few psychotic men who dare to do his dirty work and a family too scared of his temper to do anything else. When Gino and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Lisa cross paths with Lucho, they unwittingly upset the balance of crime—the result: kidnapping, rape, and murder. The Colombians may be dangerous, but the New York mob draws a line in the sand when it comes to family. The winner takes all.

A Think-Aloud and Talk-Aloud Approach to Building Language

Overcoming Disability, Delay, and Deficiency

By: Reuven Feuerstein,Louis H. Falik,Refael S. Feuerstein,Krisztina Bohács

While self-talk like Now we are buckling you in the car seat so we can go to the store is common parental practice, this book shows how teachers, parents, and therapists can take this to higher levels to advance language cognitive development and learning potential. Based on neuroscience and their own innovative work, the authors provide the rationale and a step-by-step process for using intentional self-talk and think-aloud methods to improve both language and cognitive development in normal and language-delayed children, as well as in older individuals with disabilities. Stories are sprinkled throughout the text to demonstrate mediated self-talk in action and the remarkable results achieved with real children. With clear guidelines for delivery, content, and timing, the crucial core of the process is to narrate thinking, action, and emotion in the presence of children without requiring their response. Book Features: Addresses the growing numbers of children entering school with language poverty, describes the concept of mediated soliloquy (MSL), or self-talk, with individuals or classroomswho should use it and when, where and how it can be applied, and expected outcome, and illustrates the use of MSL for specific language disorders and to improve both language and interpersonal function with children exhibiting delays, disabilities, spectrum behavior, and social/emotional difficulties.

Oil Companies in the International System

By: Louis Turner

Oil Companies in the International System (1978) provides an original and wide-ranging examination of the impact that the leading oil companies have had on international relations. It looks at the interplay between the oil companies and the governments of both the industrialised and oil-producing countries and asks to what extent the former have been beyond the control of these authorities. It pays particular attention to the oil industry’s relations with the consuming countries, and considers the oil companies’ importance in international politics.

''Unmitigated Disaster''

Vol. # 1

By: Louis D. Cruz

A story of America is moving "forward." And, NOW that word "forward" happens to be the slogan of the very man; that, Republican Willard Mitt Romney is trying to unseat. America the Party of "NO" has a man who will insist to see your ID, Birth Certificate, but won't release his Tax Returns, at the least 5-6 of them, so the voting electorate will know how to trust him. There are many perfectly legal ways for all "weasels" to get out of paying taxes. Especially, if you can afford armies of "creative" accountants to find them all. In our own Country's Congressional Leaders there is: Nothing but, shameless lies and dishonor! That explains what's going on here. If election in November is to be decided on the several issues, "Robme" (the Romney) and (Ryan, the Lying) along with the remaining hostile Republicans should stay away from foreign policy this next four years. Even drifting into that realm risks reminding voters of Obama's clear advantage in leadership. America, "Bush has been out of office for almost 4 years, are YOU really going to continue to blame him ?" This is what the Republicans are saying! Honestly, if that's were the blame lies, absolutely! It wouldn't matter; even if, it's been 100, 200, or 300 years since George W. "the Idiot" Bush has been out of office, there will STILL remain too many unanswered questions! America: This book is a ...Timeline of George W. Bush's "UNMITIGATED DISASTER" that has become President OBAMA'S inherited MESS! Let him fix ..it for all of America! Louis D. Cruz
