In this latest outreach, Steiger presents ideas given to him "during the time-out-of-time" he spent with the Egyptian goddess Sekmet. He attributes his experience with her to one superior power responsible for the Greek gods, Celtic fairies, doomsday prophets, personalities like Uri Geller, and most importantly, UFOs. Steiger contends that this power continually guides us toward higher levels of intelligence and intellectual and emotional maturity. His evidence is purely speculative, and skeptics would certainly question his views. He carries us through a variety of interviews with UFO percipients. Often, like Steiger, they believe they have undergone a change after sighting or boarding a UFO. Some acquire a higher, more profound intelligence; some believe they make frequent trips to other planets, galaxies, and dimensions; some experience spontaneous healing. Steiger's message is harmless and possibly constructive, but his informants will try the patience even of devotees.

Stricter than, say, Bergen Evans or W3 ("disinterested" means impartial — period), Strunk is in the last analysis...
Privately published by Strunk of Cornell in 1918 and revised by his student E. B. White in 1959, that "little book" is back again with more White updatings.
Stricter than, say, Bergen Evans or W3 ("disinterested" means impartial — period), Strunk is in the last analysis (whoops — "A bankrupt expression") a unique guide (which means "without like or equal").Pub Date: May 15, 1972

This is not the Nutcracker sweet, as passed on by Tchaikovsky and Marius Petipa. No, this is the original Hoffmann tale of 1816, in which the froth of Christmas revelry occasionally parts to let the dark underside of childhood fantasies and fears peek through. The boundaries between dream and reality fade, just as Godfather Drosselmeier, the Nutcracker's creator, is seen as alternately sinister and jolly. And Italian artist Roberto Innocenti gives an errily realistic air to Marie's dreams, in richly detailed illustrations touched by a mysterious light. A beautiful version of this classic tale, which will captivate adults and children alike. (Nutcracker; $35.00; Oct. 28, 1996; 136 pp.; 0-15-100227-4)
