Wayne Morin Jr. is a real life Crusader and Guardian Angel for those clients and patients who are behind the walls of Napa State Hospital still suffering at the hands of those who are supposed to protect and care for them. The State of California held him incarcerated in jails and mental institutions since he was a homeless teenager at 14 until his release as a mature adult in 2003. Abuse, drug addiction, rape, and murder are all a part of Wayne's story and observations of his time spent in mental hospitals. While he was at Napa State Hospital Wayne was encouraged by his doctor, psychologist and ConRep to stop exposing atrocities at Napa State Hospital for one year which Wayne had been doing by sending letters to news media. He was told to concentrate on his S.A.F.E Program. His ConRep told Wayne he would allow him to expose the information he was already doing at Napa State once he was back in the community. He said that while President Clinton was in office that he made it impossible for clients to pursue criminal actions while at state mental hospitals. Once the client had been released, he would be able to have their complaints heard by proper authorities. They spoke in detail until the ConRep understood his reasons for exposing the hospital. Once Wayne knew that the ConRep had his best interests at heart and was not lying about his criminal background, Wayne was able to trust him. That ConRep worker is a big part of what he is today, and is a role model for all mental health workers. His honesty and understanding of Wayne's abandonment from childhood made their connection real. Once Wayne left Napa State he started producing TV programs and radio talk shows about the criminal activity at Napa State Hospital. Wayne found out how to become a law abiding citizen. His ConRep helped him find living arrangements making sure that Wayne was in some sort of recovery program for either drugs or alcohol. He helped him find work and they became best friends. A few years ago Wayne went in front of the Napa County Courts to ask for his release from ConRep. Wayne's ConRep and doctors were all onboard with this decision. Wayne feels that by state standards was restored to sanity. He now lives right on Napa State Hospital grounds - not on the property but can look out his back window and see the units he was on at the age of 13 years old. Wayne Morin Jr. is a success story. He has been in recovery from 7-15-03 in a 12 step program. Wayne loves being free and the beautiful Napa Valley California. He has many people who care about him today and truly feels the same for them. Wayne will continue to bring light to the crimes that to this very day go unpunished at Napa State Hospital.

Located at the entrance to New York Harbor, Staten Island has had a front-row seat to many of the comings and goings of the New World. From the early European explorers, such as Verrazano and Hudson, to the waves of immigrants coming in steerage, the island would be part of a gateway to a great continent. Some visitors stayed briefly, while others would go no further and would make the island their forever home. Those who called Staten Island home would include inventors, business leaders, writers, athletes, politicians, and artists. Some famous islanders include industry titan Cornelius Vanderbilt; inventor Antonio Meucci; Central Park visionary Frederick Law Olmsted; poet Edwin Markham; silent film star Mabel Normand; and singers Christina Aguilera, Joan Baez, and members of Wu-Tang Clan. All these would play a role in the development of Staten Island, a borough of New York City and sister to one of the world's great metropolises.
Nikola Tesla is a dreamer with a poetic touch. Childhood experiments with his father Milutin lead to a lifetime of extra sensory perception and an ability to perceive inventions in his mind before committing his creations to existence.At age 12 he visualizes the principle of a rotating magnetic field. Nikola develops plans for an induction motor that becomes his first step toward the successful utilization of alternating current. The scientist has few allies. Mark Twain is one of the friends he trusts. Tesla never has a home in America, choosing instead to live in hotels. His 'battle of the currents' with Edison is touched upon in our story. During the final decades of his life, Tesla withdraws in a New York hotel, only granting interviews and making annual public appearances on his birthdays. At these press conferences he proposes future inventions, but his accounts are frequently distorted by the popular press. When he mentions contacting aliens using his free energy device, American media misquotes him as saying he is a 'well known leader sent from Venus to aid mankind'. After Tesla dies in 1943, the FBI discover his proposals for advanced weaponry. Men in Black Barnes and Tanner search for information about the 'death ray machine' as world conflict is impending. If Nikola Tesla was given the task of saving human beings from self destruction, why did his mission fail?

This volume brings to a close Jefferson's increasingly stormy tenure as Secretary of State, documenting, among many things, his epochal duel with Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton over the conduct of American foreign policy. Against the background of the deadly yellow fever in Philadelphia, he copes with obstreperous French consuls and informs Edmond Charles Genet that the American government has requested his recall. After resuming his work on the definition of U.S. maritime limits, Jefferson prevails upon President Washington to inform Congress not only of Genet's recall but also of the British refusal to carry out the disputed provisions of the Treaty of Paris. In a final effort to implement his policy of commercial retaliation against Great Britain, Jefferson submits to Congress in December his long-awaited Report on Commerce, vividly detailing the various forms of discrimination imposed on American trade by the British. The volume presents the early and final versions of the in all their textual complexity. Disappointed by Washington's tepid response to his criticisms of Hamilton's fiscal policies, frustrated by the Treasury Secretary's rising influence over American foreign policy, and eager to enjoy uninterruptedly the pleasures of domestic life, Jefferson retires from office on 31 December 1793, determined never again to suffer the torments of public life. Volume 27 contains a supplement that covers some 270 documents for the period 1764-93 that have been found or reclassified since the publication of the last supplement in Volume 15.
