The Source ("you are communicating with a veiled force field") speaks through one Louis Gitter who lives in an old inn on Orcas Island off the coast of Washington. When the Source speaks Louis' Man Friday fights a fire and covers him with a blanket because "for the moment his body is dead." Naturally the Source talks in veiled parables and many have compared Louis' "sleeping advice" to Edgar Cayce who, as a matter of fact, once gave Louis' mother pre-natal readings on him. It is Louis' mission on earth to establish Light Centers to charge our spiritual batteries — there is already one Louis Foundation and mankind needs more. The Source holds forth on many things. On God ("God is all things"); on humility ("you can drive a Cadillac and still be humble"); on sex ("It is obvious that you do not need to have physical intercourse to partake of real sex"). It's also obvious that you don't need the Source to partake of God or humility or sex.

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)
