The bestselling story behind Ross Hunter’s classic melodrama starring Susan Hayward and John Gavin. When “fly girl” and gorgeous socialite Ray Schmidt first meets Walter Saxel in Cincinnati, their attraction is instant and everlasting. As their bond deepens, Ray finds herself envisioning a future with Walter, until one fateful day when the settling of her family affairs interferes with their plans to meet, and his relationship with another woman forms. Though years pass and Ray manages to carve out a life for herself in New York City, Walter remains in her memory, and a chance run-in with him leads them both to fall into their former ways. What unfolds is the fascinating tale of what life was for selfless, devoted Ray, a prisoner to her love for the one man who would never fully love her back. Originally published in 1931, this bestselling classic novel about the heartbreak of living along the “back streets” of a man’s life was adapted into film three times. With a new foreword by Cari Beauchamp. Vintage Movie Classics spotlights classic films that have stood the test of time, now rediscovered through the publication of the novels on which they were based.

Backstreet By: Daniel Vincent Pierce Three teenage boys, Michael, Sean, and Brandon, seem to be typical high school students at Evan Senior High School: they love sports, parties, and having fun. They all have to deal with different things while they grow up, but they eventually find friendship and support from each other. They discover a hot new hangout, BACKSTREET. It becomes the hottest place for teenagers to party on the weekends, but it also brings more danger than anyone could imagine. The three boys, misled by their arrogance and ego, don’t realize their bad decisions can haunt them for the rest of their life. Hopefully, the readers will picture their own high school experiences while reading this book. In particular those born in the 1950’s and 1960’s and remember the riots in the late 1960’s after Dr. King’s assassination. Some readers may find that their own children and teenagers in general continue to deal with the same issues.

Many of today's organizations "live in public"; they devote extensive resources to branding, catching the public eye, and capitalizing on the age of transparency. But, at the same time, a growing number of companies and other collectives are flying under the radar, concealing their identities and activities. This book offers a framework for thinking about how organizations and their members communicate identity to relevant audiences. Considering the degree to which organizations reveal themselves, the extent to which members express their identification with the organization, and whether the audience is public or local, author Craig R. Scott describes collectives as residing in "regions" that range from transparent to shaded, from shadowed to dark. Taking a closer look at groups like EarthFirst!, the Church of Scientology, Alcoholics Anonymous, the KKK, Skull and Bones, U.S. special mission units, men's bathhouses, and various terrorist organizations, this book draws attention to shaded, shadowed, and dark collectives as important organizations in the contemporary landscape.
