I have not seen a book with the perspective on issues that are active today and have traversed the centuries, that The Flying Scroll presents. The message makes us one' with God; every human being is equal in our eyes, too, equal in a tangible, livable, pleasing to God perspective.. You will find solace here, whether you are angry with the Roman Catholic Church for their inept reaction to their priests abusing children, their refusal to acknowledge that mandatory celibate vocations does have a relationship to their sexual sins, or their excommunication of priests who marry but, not pedophile priests. If you are feeling guilty because you are a priest who married, or you married outside your family's preference, these pages will ease your guilt. You will discover the fate of a rejected love' of a Roman Catholic priest. She didn't disappear, as usual. This account connects the dots between all of the above and more. Truth' is refreshing; the words on the pages of The Flying Scroll, to the sentinent observer, are refreshing and build HOPE that tomorrow's children may have more freedom to be who' and how God made them than the children of yesterday or today.

Orangeburg, South Carolina, is home to an abundant history, shown in this second volume through over 225 rare images of times gone by. The epitome of the small town, Orangeburg is where friends would gather at the famous Bluebird Theatre or the old soda fountains at a turn-of-the-century drugstore. Residents marveled when the Orangeburg Hotel was constructed in 1909; at the time it was the second tallest structure in all of South Carolina. Marchant Music Co., whose showroom is featured in this volume, recalls the days when everyone gathered around the piano in the parlor. Beauty queens from the old Fall Festival, which preceded the formation of the Orangeburg County Fair, grace the pages of this collection. Even the first motor-powered fire truck makes an appearance, as do the stalwart men who comprised the old volunteer fire departments. Also notable in this volume is the rarely mentioned George H. Cornelson, who had more impact on the city than any other person over the last 130 years.

The enduring queer feminist engagement with Valley of the Dollsauthor Jacqueline Susann’s camp comedy legacy. Catalyzed by her notoriously "dirty," fabulously successful bestseller Valley of the Dolls, the "Jackie Susann Sixties" brimmed with camp comedy that now permeates contemporary celebrations of the author, from Pee-wee's Playhouseto RuPaul's Drag Race and Lee Daniels's Star.First christened "camp" by Gloria Steinem in an excoriating review of Valley of the Dolls and compounded by the publishing juggernauts The Love Machine(1969), Once Is Not Enough(1973), and Dolores(1976), the comedy of Jackie Susann illuminated conflicting positions about gender, sexuality, and aesthetic value. Through a writing formula that Ken Feil calls sleazy realism, Susann veers from gossip to confession and devises comedies of bad manners spun from real celebrities whose occasionally queer and always outré antics clashed with their "official" personas, the popular genres they were famous for, and the narrow, normative constructions of identity and reality shaped by the culture industry. Susann's promotional appearances led to another comedy of bad manners, this one populated with critics alternately horrified and delighted by an upstart woman vulgarian barging into the male literary firmament, and which continues to inspire fascination for the author, her novels, and their legendarily bad film adaptations.
