Sommario/riassunto |
|
In 2003, David Horowitz began a campaign to promote intellectual diversity and a return to academic standards in American universities. To achieve these goals he devised an Academic Bill of Rights and created a national student movement with chapters on 160 college campuses. Take No Prisoners is a riveting account of the reaction to Horowitz's campaign by professor unions and academic associations, whose leaderships have been taken over by the political left. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
A complete satirical selection from the ""man with the acid pen and the perfect pitch for hypocrisy," as Tucholsky-expert Peter Wortsman writes, this book contains Tucholsky's news stories, features, satirical pieces, and poems about his hometown Berlin. It depicts Weimar Berlin, its cabarets, its policies, its follies, its ticks, and its celebrities, such as Pola Negri, Gussy Holl, Bert Brecht, Max Reinhardt, and Heinrich Zille. Herr Wendriner, the chatty Berlin businessman, makes an appearance, as well as Lottchen, the flapper, modelled after one of Tucholsky's real-life girlfriends. The boo |
