Everyday minutiae...soon evaporate into a meaningless mist of forgotten busy work." Thus asserts Ron Strothers about contemporary American society in this "tribute to people who have made valuable contributions to society that should neither be overlooked nor forgotten..." The author enlists his hometown of Newark, New Jersey to look at American culture through the lens of sports, music and local leaders in the academic and religious communities. The key sport is basketball and the music is jazz. All are employed by Strothers to underscore his basic theme--the importance of history. Committed to bringing to light, sometimes back to light, the histories of gifted ballplayers from the 1950s and 60s, Strothers is exacting and insightful. His premier figure is Cleo Hill, an extraordinary basketball and baseball player from Newark, whose personal basketball story is told with deep respect and admiration. Hill, the author states, was an incredible talent whose professional career came to an abrupt end "through no fault of his own." It is suggested Hill was equal or superior to any professional playing today. Many others from that time are also saluted. Though the book cover shows Hill and two other players holding a basketball, the author insists this is not a "basketball book." Prominent jazz musicians, local and national, are featured as well as key figures outside of the sports world. Throughout, Strothers emphasizes the gravity of history and why everyone, from the famous to the obscure, no matter in what sphere of life they toil, should honor and be honored through legacy and heritage. The Salt Mine is an homage and manifesto of the sanctity of forerunners.

The New Jersey State Constitution is a throughly revised new edition that provides an extensive historical account and constitutional analysis of the state's governing charter. In addition to an overview of New Jersey's constitutional history, it provides an in-depth, section-by-section analysis of the entire constitution, detailing the many significant changes that have been made since its initial drafting. This treatment, along with a table of cases, index, and bibliography is an essential resource for students, scholars, and practitioners of New Jersey's constitution. State constitutions perform different functions and contain different provisions from the more-familiar U.S. Constitution. The book first outlines the historical development of New Jersey's state constitution from 1776 to the present and explains the highlights of the process of state constitutional development, leading to the current New Jersey constitution. Next, each section of the current constitution is analyzed, including its origins, general intent and purpose, and important judicial interpretations illustrating the types of situations in which the section can come into play, including references to key academic analysis of each section. Careful explanation is provided, with illustrations from cases, of the complex and evolving relationship between rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and rights guaranteed by the New Jersey constitution. In many instances, New Jersey's rights can be more protective than those included in the Federal Constitution. Finally, the book provides a thorough bibliographical essay reviewing the evolution of the New Jersey constitution.
