Entertaining Adventure Yarn.......2006-10-22
Milt Machlin was an experienced men's adventure writer, editor of the men's adventure magazine "Argosy" for many years, and in "The Search for Michael Rockefeller," we find a perfect fit between author's abilities and subject matter. Michael Rockefeller was himself an adventurous young man, son of then New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller -- yes, one of those Rockefellers-- and 23 years old when he disappeared, in 1961, in primitive New Guinea. The young Rockefeller had just graduated from Harvard University, and joined, as a sound technician, an expedition sponsored by Harvard's Peabody Museum: its mission was to film and record the customs of New Guinea's little-known tribes.
Machlin was an adventure-loving bear of a man himself, member of The Explorers Club and Mystery Writers of America. He published "Ninth Life," about the very controversial California execution of Caryl Chessman in the 1950's, and collaborated with Robin Moore on the "French Connection" series. He dived to 2,500 feet on a supersub, flew in an international balloon race, sailed in a Viking ship, participated in several marine archaelogy undertakings. He also went twice to report on the Vietnam War, visited Cuba, Taiwan, Israel, Iceland, Australia, Japan, Haiti, Mexico, the Philippines and most of Europe: the man knew a lot about food and wine, as well. He had an easy, conversational style of writing that suited his subject matters.
Ten years after Michael Rockefeller's disappearance, in 1971, Machlin went to what was then very much still Stone Age New Guinea to investigate the disappearance. Now mind you, no rumor has ever trickled out of New Guinea of a young, rich white man who had gone native. Nor, to my knowledge, has there ever been a finding, at some remote village, of a hank of hair that might enable forensics experts to recreate any particular scenario. So, barring the sudden coming-forth of an exceptionally long-lived New Guinea cannibal, with a good memory for his human meals, particularly the fair ones, we are never likely to be able to say: This is certainly what happened. So we can't be sure that Machlin came up with the answer. What we can be sure of is that Machlin had a hell of an expedition, saw some remarkable sights, lived with, and talked to people we're never likely to get a crack at. He found fierce warrior tribes, cargo cults, cannibalism, payback rites, remote villages. Raffish characters, Dutch officals determined to keep a lid on things, missionaries who knew Michael and can be assumed -- though not 100%-- to know the young Rockefeller's fate. It's not a journey any of is likely to be able to take, so it's worth reading about if you can find the book.
Fascinating Story.......2006-05-04
There is not much more I can add beyond what reviewer Mr. Bigelow has written. This is a book that attempts to penetrate the mystery of Michael Rockefeller's disappearance in New Guinea more than forty years ago. Mr. Machlin shows us an alien world (at least when the book was written) right here on our own planet and it is a fascinating look. There were tribes of people who were still living in the Stone Age, many of whom had never seen a white person before, and you will be engrossed by the tales. As for what actually happened to Michael Rockefeller? That is a question that will, most likely, never be answered.
Absorbing travelogue, problematic journalism.......2003-06-04
This book, written in the early seventies, details Argosy Magazine journalist Milt Machlin's investigation into the disappearance of the young Rockefeller family scion who vanished on an expedition to tribal New Guinea after his catamaran capsized and he tried to swim to shore. Machlin's involvement with the story began years after the event, when a seedy character came to his magazine's office with a wild tale about Rockefeller being kept captive as a living tribal fetish by a band of natives. The first part of the book is an account of Machlin's trip to New Guinea to investigate this lead. The second part is Machlin's attempt to reconstruct Rockefeller's fate, which Machlin believes differs from the official conclusion that he drowned before reaching shore.
I enjoyed Machlin's personal account of his journey much more than I believed his theories about Rockefeller's fate. Machlin is a gifted writer, and his account of his adventures in wild New Guinea is written with great verve and a gift for telling the most interesting details and anecdotes in the most interesting way. During his trip to the island on which Rockefeller had been reported to be alive, he joined a crocodile hunt, visited Guinean tribal villages, and learned much of a tribal culture that is both fascinatingly, and in many ways terrifyingly, alien. He mixes tales of his own adventures with anecdotes about the bush, like stories of giant crocodiles and octopuses, and tales of tribal feuds and cargo cultism. His clear, zesty writing and fascinating subject matter make his tale an enjoyable, engrossing read.
Then Machlin gets into his theory about Rockefeller's fate. The first part of the book establishes his bona fides -- knowledge of New Guinea and journalism. But when he tries to penetrate the mystery of what happened to Rockefeller after he left sight of his overturned catamaran, Machlin's journalism deserts him. He bases his conclusion on rumors -- stories that were second-hand or worse even before they came to him. Machlin has me convinced that the official story that Rockefeller drowned is unsupported by the evidence -- but from what I can tell, there is so little evidence that no conclusion is supported. We simply don't know what happened. But when it comes to historical mysteries, it takes a strong will to write a whole book on it and then admit the answer is "we can't know the answer; there's not enough evidence." Machlin's speculations are plausible, but just as unsupported as the explanation he derides.
So don't read The Search for Michael Rockefeller to get the last word on Rockefeller's disappearance. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't read it. If you read it for tall tales and travel stories about a wild and alien part of the world, you won't be disappointed.
Book Description
In print since it was first published in 1979, this book is a glorious collection of American folk art by "ordinary" women of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Filled with beautiful four-color reproductions of samplers, quilts, paintings, and needle-pictures along with excerpts from diaries and letters, sampler verse, books, and magazines of the period, Anonymous Was a Woman celebrates the daily experiences and inner lives of women who, in acts of love and duty, created many masterpieces of American folk art.

Anonymous Was a Woman, a treasure.......2007-01-17
I love this book! As a needle woman myself, the accounts of other such women were dear to my heart. I gave it to my mother who taught me to sew and embroider and was sorry my grandmother who taught my mother was no longer living to share it with her. I particularly liked how the book divided the stages of the early women's lives and connected the stitcheries with journal entries. Some of the quotations are expressions of my own feelings. Anyone who uses a needle would find this a gem.
A Scream of Creation.......2004-03-17
Quilted together with common thread, the lives of the women glimpsed at in Anonymous Was A Woman scream of creation; however, not creation of life but creation of freedom using the few avenues of expression available. The women themselves were the art which they sought so earnestly to produce, and this is evidenced in their pastel speech and charcoal lives. When told to choose what piece within the book most interested me, I thought, "an easy task to undertake." I planned to find a colorful character that would most attract a reader's attention and paint a portrait of her. Now I find that task not so simple. To take away from this book a single characterization, whether glossy or matte, would be to deconstruct the perfect quilt. I do not choose to unravel what these women created; therefore, all I can say is that what I enjoy most about Anonymous Was A Woman is the ability that the chosen women have to blanket us with their lives and keep us warm even today.
how many women artists can you name?.......2000-08-15
One day in an education class, my professor asked how many female artists can you name? Granted none of the people in the class were art majors but at most we came up with two, Virgina Woolfe and Mary Casset. Many people could not name any female artists. I found it astounding that in the history of western art, I could only think of two women painters. Taking the suggestion this professor, I decide to read the book "Anonymous was a woman" by Mirra Blank. I found the book intriguing and was impressed at its unveiling of how important domestic crafts like samplers and quilts were to women in the late eighteenth century and nineteenth century. The book has great photographs and anecdotal information that gives insight to the female mind of this time period. The images include quilts, velvet, and watercolor paintings. Excerpts are taken from the diaries of famous women like Louisa May Alcott and anonymous women who have been forgotten. The author also includes certain male points of view with repect to proper female conduct and love. I thought this book was great at revealing how many female artists there have been and their contribution to the American landscape.

Book Description
Since age ten, Dave "Miracle Boy" Mirra has been defying gravity and changing people's minds about what can and can't be done on a bike. But in 1993 he lived up to his nickname in ways that his fans could never have anticipated. Six months after he was injured by a drunk driver and told by his doctors that he would never ride again, he was back on his bike, competing in -- and winning -- high-profile BMX events. Since then he has gone on to win more X Games medals than any other competitor -- in any event -- and has inspired a devoted following always hungry for a new miracle.
Mirra Images captures all of Dave's most daring and explosive tricks -- carving flairs, wallride-to-tailwhips, and his record-setting nineteen-foot air -- in stunning color. In addition, Dave delves into his past and his personal photo album to shed light on his rise to the top of the action sports world and reveal a side of himself that has never before been seen. This action-packed photo-autobiography is the first ever look into the life, times, tricks, and bikes of the biggest of all BMX superstars.

Mirra Images.......2006-08-15
Mirra Images
The book I read was called "Mirra Images" by Dave Mirra. This book takes place all through Dave's life. Some of the competitors he faces during some of his competition are Mat Hoffman which was one of the best riders until Mirra the miracle man. This book influences me by not giving up my dreams or goals in life. Even though you have obstacles in your way. I though that when you suffer from a head injury, you can not recuperate or recover as fast. But Dave Mirra shows that nothing will get in his way to become the best rider in the world. I learn that every thing in life is not easy. So prepare your self. My book was written in a figurative language way.
Perfect For A Fan.......2004-04-27
The book Mirra Images tells the story of Dave Mirra's life and thankfully told by Dave Mirra. This is a very in-depth book on Dace Mirra's life, the book sorta starts out like a photo album of his with pictures of him and brief but well-written notes on how it bmx came to him and what pushed him to do better. In this book Dave Mirra lets us take a look at his music and film tastes, horrible yet humorous accidents(...drunk driver), sponsors, achievements, records, goals, friends, medals. The book also shows what its like out on the road when touring. Aside from his writtings the book contains photos in more than half of the pages in the book with Dave Mirra doing some of his most daring and explosive tricks such as wallride-to-tailwhip(nuf said) and his groundbreaking record-setting of 19 foot air. The only thing maybe Dave Mirra could discuss more would have to be his school-life and how he helped out with the videogame otherwise this is a thrilling book for all fans. As for some reminders, don't expect any how to's in this book and for those wandering how many pages there are there is 191 pages including pictures. Fans you must buy this, however those new to bmx or have never heard in this daring sport may be interested.
Book Description
This definitive biography of one of the world’s greatest comedians unflinchingly yet affectionately uncovers the man behind the cigar.
Here is the amazing career of the man the world recognized as Groucho: the improbable disasters of the vaudeville years; the Marx Brothers, an act so funny W.C. Fields refused to follow it; the unprecedented Broadway success of
The Cocoanuts and
Animal Crackers; the cinematic triumphs of
Duck Soup and
A Night at the Opera; and the marvelous come-back career as king of the game show hosts with
You Bet Your Life. Here, too, is the man himself: a lonely middle child who aspired to be a doctor; a man who sabotaged three marriages; a father alternately indulgent and cruel. Intelligent and thorough, hilarious and sad,
Groucho is a spectacular biography of the century’s most influential comedian.

Mixed feelings.......2003-10-06
Having previously read "Harpo Speaks," "Growing up with Chico," "Groucho and Me," and Lillian Roth's "I'll cry tomorrow" and having seen all the Marx brothers films, I honestly felt like this book was merely a hodgepodge of all those previously mentioned sources. There are parts where he quotes word for word what Lillian Roth wrote about working on Animal Crackers, or what Maxine Marx said in her book, and tries to pass it off as his own. There are also long sections where he just reprints dialouge from the films and TV show. That said, the parts involving Grouchos personality and his relationships with women and his family were totally new to me, and very interesting (although I do agree with the earlier reviewer who said it seemed that the author did not like Groucho and tried to paint him negatively.) I don't regret reading this book, true fans will probably know enough to form their own opinions. But I reccomend a number of other Marx-related books before this one. ("Harpo Speaks" being my #1)
A good book on one of the greatest showmen.......2002-02-16
This biography traces the life of one of the most prolific actors/comedians of the 20th Century - Groucho Marx. We are introduced to the man behind the great (perhaps the greatest?)comic genius.
Groucho (né Julius Henry) Marx was the third son of German Jew Immigrants in New York. His mother Minnie (the driving force behind the Marx Brothers) was influenced by her brother Al Shean who had a reasonably successful career seeing which Minnie decided to enter her five sons into showbiz. After various permutations and combinations and numerous failures and struggles, the Marx Brothers made an indelible name for themselves first in Vaudeville (stage shows featuring a variety of dance, song, humor, and magic) and then in Broadway and the movies as The Marx Brothers (Chico, Harpo Groucho and Zeppo). The brothers had a glorious career from the 1920s to the 1940s despite the depression in between.
Groucho later went on to have a highly successful solo career as a radio (and later TV) host of the quiz show "You bet your life" for which he won critical acclaim.
The sad part about Groucho's life was that it seemed to be based on the dictum of why-have-it-simple-when-you-can-have-it-complicated. Though extremely successful professionally, Groucho had an unhappy personal life especially with regard to the women in his life (mother, wives and daughters). His three marriages were nowhere nearly as successful as his life in the theatre / movies. Groucho's relationship with and (ill?)treatment at the hands of Erin (his female companion towards the end of his life) is also touched upon. The author carefully offers no comments on Erin's behaviour towards Groucho.
The book is on-the-whole well researched though at some points it does seem that Kanfer wants to hurry through for lack of details. Kanfer bases his information on writings of and interviews with Groucho's peers, friends, relatives (especially his daughter Miriam). The reader is given minute details of the comedians life including how he got his nickname - he used to carry a `grouch' bag during his vaudeville days (the `o' at the end of each of the brothers nicknames was taken from a popular comic strip of those days, Sherlocko the Monk ).
The book is interspersed with the quotable quotes Groucho made personally and in his broadway hits and movies such as Duck Soup and Animal Crackers. Though most of the quotes are very incisive and humorous, there are portions in the book where the reader is given an overdose of dialogues from the movies.
After reading the book, Groucho's visage (moustache/thick eyebrows/cigar-in-the-mouth) and his inimitable quotes (`Outside of a dog a book is a mans best friend, inside of a dog it is too dark to read') remain firmly entrenched in the readers mind.
The Magic Word is "Enigmatic".......2001-07-17
This is a fascinating...and frequently sad account of "the life and times" of a truly great comic artist. First with his brothers and then on his own, he created a public persona wearing a "hard clown mask", a persona which he then became in his private life. Eventually and literally, on-screen and off, what people saw is what they got. Kanfer examines Marx's relentlessly unpleasant relationships with his mother and with his brothers, his inadequacies as a husband and father, his immaturity in "matters of women, money, and power", the impact of Irving Thalberg at MGM on the Marx Brothers movies made at that studio, and the agonies Marx experienced during his later years. Many (most?) of his most painful wounds were self-inflicted but, as Kanfer suggests, Marx also did great damage to family members. How ironic that someone capable of making so many people howl with delight would be "incapable of expressing strong emotion, no matter how deep." That is a realm within Marx which even Kanfer was unable to penetrate.
OK Bio.......2001-07-04
I enjoyed reading this biography of Marx, but I have to agree with the reviewers who claimed it was light on research. It also seems that the author disliked his subject and went out of his way to present him in an unflattering light. Otherwise, it seems to cover his life from the cradle to the grave adequately, but without brilliance.
Read it.......2001-06-14
An amazing account of an amazing man and his career. The first sections, in which Groucho steps from boy soprano singer to hilarious vaudeville acts that carry him and his brothers to Broadway and cinema stardom, are particularly well written. Kanfer elegantly descibes the marxistic method of success, based on tradition, originality, audience feed-back and perfection.
Like most GM biographers, Kanfer uses many of the well-known gags from shows and films. One important gag is missing, though. In the Carnegie Hall performance in 1971 - which Kanfer uses as the starting point for his story - Groucho at age 79 appears in a solo act, going on for hours with escalating intensity, funnier than ever. I remember I neclected school for listening to the recording of 'An Evening with Groucho' until my sister stole the double LPs. At the end of the three-hour show, during storms of applauses, you can barely hear a tiny female voice asking Groucho:
'Wanna do some more?' 'What?' 'Wanna do more stuff?' 'Some more what? I haven't started yet.'

Brilliant collection of essays.......2005-11-09
This is a wonderful collection of essays on current topics in economics, skillfully brought together by Tom Keene, editor at large for Bloomberg. An essential read for anyone interested in current economic issues and who wants more - much more - than the normal TV sounbites.
Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts...........2005-10-05
A brief excerpt from the Afterword offers an appropriate introduction to my review. According to Peter L. Bernstein, "At its roots, economics is about how and why our society has changed and developed over time. Even deeper, economics is about risk and return. These are the themes that infuse the contributions to this book. Although the keen insights, original diagnoses, and the rare lucidity of the contributors to this volume inform us about the serious problems we face in today's world, that is by no means all they have to tell us. They have shaped their presentations around the primary elements of economic analysis: supply, demand, expectations, the critical role of real investment, foreign trade and finance, monetary theory and policy, and the interplay between the private and the public sectors. The result is economics at its best -- rich in description, searching in analysis, provocative in argument, profound in generalization, and always focused on the key issues. I am much the wiser for having read it."
This is high praise indeed, given the fact that Bernstein is founder and president of a firm which, since 1973, has served as an economic consultant to institutional investors and corporations around the world. He is also the author of a book I admire very much, Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, which has sold more than 500,000 copiers since it was published by John Wiley & Sons in 1996.
Brilliantly edited by Thomas R. Keene who also wrote the Introduction, what we have here in this volume are indeed "fourteen views on the world economy" but each provides more, far more than a hit-and-run briefing on its given subject. The authors (or in two instances, the co-authors) of the essays also establish a frame-of-reference within which to present their ideas and do so with meticulous care. Make no mistake about it, however: This book is not an easy read. All of the essays offer important insights and are well-written but some are more challenging than others. For example, David Goldman's "Capital Markets and the Economy." Keene wisely recommends that readers review the subjects and then his short introductions to select those articles of greatest interest, perhaps read in combination.
With regard to the title, Keene credits Kenneth S. Rogoff who does not use the phrase in his Introduction to this book. About two years ago in an issue of The Economist (September 18, 2003), there is an article called "Flying on One Engine" in which the phrase is attributed to Lawrence Summers, Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, who once observed that "The world economy is flying on one engine." The article concludes, "For the past few years, politicians have done little more than hope that the American engine carries on working. But this is no longer good enough. Policy makers need to act to make a crash less likely and avert protectionist threats. A good first step would be to acknowledge the size of the problem." In an essay in this volume, "The Global Labor Arbitrage," Stephen S. Roach assesses the productivity and the information-technology-enabled efficiency of a (not the) future world economy, "impatient with our inability to confront, consider, and to finally come to terms with what lies ahead."
With regard to some of the other essays, John P. Lipsky and James E. Glassman address "the topic of the day, unemployment." Tim O'Neill "destroys" pop-globalization myths and rebuilds a foundation of interdependent trade realities of nations and people who are "grounded in a world's timeless need to trade and, perhaps, trade freely." Richard B. Berner "sheds light on American business and its inextricable linkage to the larger economics of the United States and the world." I agree with Keene that David P. Goldman's discussion of "Capital Markets and the Economy" is the most challenging article among the fourteen. It is also among the most rewarding, especially after a second or third reading. In "Europe's Political and Economic Future," Thomas Mayer addresses a limited set of combined fiscal and monetary now made available to an aging Europe. "No rose-colored glasses for this former International Monetary Fund economist."
In the Introduction, Rogoff suggests that "This book may be the first of its kind. Let's hope it is not the last." I agree while commending Keene on having achieved his goals: to allow the contributors to expand in areas of their special expertise, to create a book which "forms a reliable bridge from the dryness of textbook theory to the real-world excitement of applied capital-at-risk economics," and to provide in this single volume "the best in thought-provoking writing on market economics [which will] lead to answers and also to deeper questioning and further study."
Bravo!
Elegant, critical essays by fourteen visionaries. .......2005-10-04
This book was a refreshing break from the recent deluge of must-read bestsellers on the global economy. Such works (e.g. the all-pervading The World is Flat and the blockbuster Freakonomics) do well to bring economics to the literary scene, but as a student already aware of the benefits of free trade and regression analysis, I was grateful for some opinions with a bit more rigor.
On topics as broad as commodity inflation, the truth behind the employment numbers, and the history of U.S. fiscal (ir)responsibility, Flying on One Engine certainly stretched my conception of economics as a porthole and a microscope onto the world.
I had the chance to meet Tom Keene this past summer while working at Bloomberg LP, where he hosts the daily radio show "Bloomberg on the Economy." In a media giant devoted to stylized data and concise news reports, Mr. Keene fills the niche of the purveyor of primary, unedited knowledge. He interviews the real heads (not necessarily those who hold executive titles such as President or CEO) behind Wall Street's 500-pound gorillas.
The show clarifies why these men and women are afforded such respect in the profession: a penetrating and original command of the data coupled with the articulation to communicate that understanding to investors and (perhaps one day) politicians. Effortlessly dissecting the endless leading indicators and strike prices which to the rest of us are merely noise, they produce the coherent daily forecasts influencing colossal financial transactions and crucial policy moves. I find their analyses fascinating because their work is supported by quantifiable figures freely available to the public but useful only in the hands of a skilled interpreter.
The show enticed me to pick up Flying on One Engine which, edited by Mr. Keene, carries the same respect for the unadultered account of the expert into written form. These fourteen economists write in their own words, illuminate with their own graphics, and authenticate all claims with their own numbers. The editor participates just enough by prefacing each of the articles with a short presentation of the author's credentials and reputation-a welcome interlude since the authors tend (refreshingly) to be lean on rhetoric themselves. The rest is nuts-and-bolts argumentation for the most prudent policy and investment decisions. Some of the contributors (John Ryding and David Rosenberg come to mind) contradict each other bluntly, and obviously not all of them can be right all of the time. Yet it is just this brazen openness to contradiction that makes them such interesting reads. Despite the work's title, its contributors present a wide range of diagnoses on the state of the world economy, so it is up to the reader to reach his own conclusions.
This book is no beach read. It probably won't awaken your inner Economist if have little taste for the subject already. However, any reader interested in the kind of economic criticism rarely available on the oped page of the New York Times will emerge with a deeper and a wider understanding of the world around him. And if, like me, you're a student wondering what a "career in economics" could look like beyond academia, number-cruncher, or Ibank peon, read these essays and prepare to be inspired (and intimidated).
