Описание:
A spiritual retreat contains two seemingly contradictory elements: withdrawal and immersion. On the one hand a retreatant is freed from everyday concerns and can stroll about, smell the flowers, admire the trees, and relax under an open sky. On the other hand, it is also a journey inward with no escape. All those masks used as a matter of course begin to dissolve, personal ego thrashes about for survival, and a sometimes-painful examination of self weaves together events both past and present into complex patterns and, if one is fortunate, unfolds into a new view of reality. At times such a retreat can be a messy process, like blazing a trail toward an uncertain destination, but as one clears away inessentials, the nature of the path becomes increasingly clear. Although this book is framed around a specific five-day retreat offered a generation ago as part of a specific spiritual tradition, the steps it follows and the insights discovered by the participant are complementary with those of spiritual retreats within all traditions. The Sufi Order, which sponsored this retreat, is one of a galaxy of groups, or schools, that welcomes people from a wide variety of traditions and that honors the spiritual essence at the heart of all religions.

Built in stages between 1830 and 1875, Magnolia House is a historic landmark on Staten Island, the least-visited Outer Borough of New York City.
Set within a 10-minute walk from the (free) Staten Island ferry that accesses Manhattan, it's the headquarters of the widely distributed independent press, BLOOD MOON PRODUCTIONS, a feisty wordsmith noted for celebrity biographies that have been reviewed in THE DAILY MAIL, the New York DAILY NEWS, show-biz news reports, and literary journals across the country.
Some visitors liken Magnolia House to a grande dame with a centuries-old knack for nourishing high-functioning eccentrics. Many of them have lived or been entertained here since New York's State Senator Howard Bayne, a transplanted Southerner, moved in with his wife, the daughter of the Surgeon General of the Confederate States of America, in the aftermath of that bloodiest of wars on North American soil, the War Between the American States.
Since then, many dozens of celebrities--some of them notorious--have whispered their secrets and rehearsed their ambitions within its walls. They've included movie vamps from the silent screen, MIDNIGHT COWBOYS, dancers from the dance, BUTTERFLIES IN HEAT, a heavyweight boxing champ, writers from every hue, faded film goddesses, playwrights who crafted blockbusters for both Marilyn (Monroe) and Elizabeth (Taylor), ultra-avant-garde diarists, every known variety of prima donna and diva, including some from the world of opera, and a world-class Olympic athlete.
They've also included Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince, who spent decades here renovating it and producing a stream of FROMMER TRAVEL GUIDES and award-winning celebrity biographies.
This book illuminates Magnolia House's contribution to the American Century, when dozens of individual movers and shakers--some of them sane and emotionally stable, others not--visited Magnolia House.
This book reveals what they did and what they revealed.

Описание: "You've got only one life to live, so make it a hell of a ride." (Judy) "What good is sitting alone in your room?" (Liza) Judy Garland, an icon whose memory is permanently etched into the American psyche, continues to thrive as a cult goddess. Revered by thousands of die-hard fans, she's the most poignant example of both the manic and depressive (some say "schizophrenic") sides of the Hollywood myth.With her oldest child, Liza Minnelli, she emerged as the greatest, most colorful, and most tragic entertainer in show biz history. As a mother-daughter team, they live, laugh, and weep in the tear-soaked pages of this remarkable biography from the entertainment industry's most prolific archivists, Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince. Buttressed with eyewitness reports from friends, frenemies, and enemies, it's a compelling "post-modern" spin on their years together prior to Judy's death in 1969. As MGM's tap-dancing Ann Miller predicted, "It's unlikely that the world will ever see the likes of these two ever again."According to Liza, "My mother―hailed as the world's greatest entertainer―lived eighty lives during her short time with us." With deference for Judy's status as a spectacularly talented and wounded genius, this book addresses, with love but without apology, most of them. Their stories unfold through eyewitness accounts of the typhoons that engulfed them. They swing across glittery landscapes of euphoria and glory, detailing the betrayals and treachery which the duo encountered almost daily. There were depressions "as deep as the Mariana Trench," suicide attempts, and obsessive identifications on deep psychological levels with their respective roles. Fueled by klieg lights and rivers of negative publicity, there were also some jealous actress-to-actress rivalries which, as Judy declined and her malaise increased, sprouted like malevolent mushrooms on steroids.Eventually, Liza roaringly emerged as a star in her own right. "I did it my way," Liza said. She survived the whirlwinds of her mother's drug addiction with a yen for choosing all the wrong men in patterns that weirdly evoked those of Judy herself.The story of their years together includes tantalizing details about Judy's show-biz mania, her lovers and husbands, especially the acclaimed director, Vincente Minnelli, famous for his steerage of schmaltzy classics (Meet Me in St. Louis, Gigi, and An American in Paris). Before dumping him for a unfulfilling roster of "Men That Got Away," Judy complained that he spent more time in bed with Gene Kelly than he did with her.For millions of fans, Judy will forever remain the cheerful adolescent (Dorothy) skipping along a yellow brick road toward the other side of the rainbow. Liza followed her down that hallucinogenic path, searching for the childhood, the security, and the love that eluded her.Deep in her 70s, Liza is still with us, too, nursing memories of her former acclaim and her first visit as a little girl to her parents at MGM, the "Dream Factory," during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Wanna know more about the presuppositions and priorities associated with this book? Here's the soundtrack of a recent radio interview (26 minutes) in which its co-author, Danforth Prince, discusses why Judy Garland retains her grip on the American psyche--more than a half-century after her death, and almost a century after her birth--as a cult goddess and historic icon.

Описание:
From 1951 through 1956, I Love Lucy was the most-watched show in television. Its launch was as rocky as the marriage of the real-life show-biz pros who crafted it.
After their divorce in 1960, Lucille Ball appraised Desi Arnaz, her former husband: "He's like Jekyll and Hyde. He drinks and gambles, he's awash in broads and booze, and that gay actor, Cesar Romero, is his devoted slave. Love?" she asked. "I was always falling in love with the wrong man. Including Desi."
Arnaz summed up his marriage to Lucille: "We were anything but Lucy and Ricky Ricardo. They had nothing to do with us. We dreamed of success, fame, and fortune. And guess what? It all led to hell."
Their early struggles were epic. As a girl, Lucy at times was literally chained to her backyard in Jamestown, New York. As a teenager, she broke away and earned a reputation as "The Jamestown Hussy," riding around with Johnny DaVita, a local hoodlum.
Later, she broke into show business, hustling "sugar daddies" and stage-door Johnnies who gave her money and gifts. When she was desperate, she worked as a nude model.
In the 1930s, she migrated to Hollywood and made films for RKO.
Desi, however, was born to wealth and privilege in Cuba. At the age of twelve, as an incentive to helping him lose his virginity, he was escorted to a local bordello by his father.
Having lost most of their assets in the Cuban Revolution, his family fled. In Miami, Desi got a job as a janitor cleaning out canary cages. Later, in Manhattan, he accepted whatever gigs he could get. He became the "kept boy" of the gay composer Lorenz Hart, sustaining an affair with superstar Ginger Rogers on the side. That included the task of escorting her into Canada for an abortion. He was eventually hired by bandleader Xavier Cugat to "beat hell out of those Afro-Cuban drums."
After drifting to Hollywood, he spotted Lucy on a sound stage "dressed like a two-dollar whore who had been badly beaten by her pimp."
[That was, indeed, the character she developed for her role in Dance Girl Dance (1940). During its filming, she "more or less politely" resisted the lesbian advances of her director, Dorothy Arzner. Desi succeeded where Arzner failed, marrying Lucy that same year.] Characterized by violent fights and long separations, their stormy marriage staggered along for two traumatic decades.
Desi's obsession with sex became legendary. He seduced every prostitute in Polly Adler's infamous NYC whorehouse. In Hollywood, Lana Turner and Betty Grable came and went from his life, along with countless showgirls and hometown gals attending his on-the-road band shows.
Meanwhile, Lucy waited for his return, occupying her nights with the son (Elliott Roosevelt) of the U.S. president; actor/mobster George ("Black Snake") Raft; and George Sanders, Zsa Zsa Gabor's suicidal husband. Coming and going from her boudoir were-among many others-William Holden, Milton Berle, Henry Fonda, Orson Welles, and Robert Mitchum.
By the early 1950s, the careers of both Lucy and Desi had run out of gas. TV executives objected to his Cuban accent. But I Love Lucy was launched nevertheless and shot up in the ratings, morphing into the most successful sitcom in TV history.
"With gold arriving in wheelbarrows" (Desi's words), Lucy and Desi bought RKO Studios and launched Desilu Productions. It became the largest motion picture and television studio in the world.
This first-of-a-kind biography of TV's wackiest and most eccentric couple is generously stuffed with ironic facts and blunt assessments from their frenemies. It radically changes the premises of the American Dream that helped fuel its success.

Описание:
Considered to be one of the most important self-help books ever written, "I Dare You " was first published in 1931 by William Danforth, the founder of the Ralston-Purina pet food company and the American Youth Foundation. Danforth was a successful entrepreneur who spent much of his life helping and counseling young people and founded a youth camp in Michigan dedicated to mentoring youth. In this influential work, he expounded on his belief that a healthy and productive life depended on keeping four important elements in balance. These elements were physical, mental, social, and religious. A person must develop each element individually, but must not focus on one element to the detriment of the others. Danforth also believed in the importance of dedicating one's attention and efforts to the task at hand and treating each job and day as the most important one ever. Danforth never approached any challenge with less than complete attention and he inspired countless young people with his unwavering enthusiasm and determination. "I Dare You " is a timeless classic that will encourage everyone to face life's challenges with a determined spirit. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
