"Royal Wedding Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling in this 1951 Alan Jay Lerner musical for MGM, directed by Stanley Donen (Singin' in the Rain). The appealing story finds Astaire as part of a brother-and-sister act (along with Jane Powell) that travels to London at the time of Queen Elizabeth II's wedding. Astaire and Powell each find romances that threaten to break up the act, but that's mostly fun window dressing in a movie better know ..."
"Before he first hit the road with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope was a quipping comedian who turned his radio success into a film career after a single appearance in The Big Broadcast of 1938. In that film he sang a duet with Shirley Ross, "Thanks for the Memory," that became his theme song and the title of this quickly produced comedy. In what is less a plot than a premise, Hope stars as an aspiring novelist who lives a comfortable urban exist ..."

"Heretofore, the study of the Middle East has focused almost exclusively on Islam and on the regime, especially on its nondemocratic aspects. It has done so at the expense of accounting fully for the forces of skepticism, liberty, and creativity that struggle against Islamic conformism and state hegemony. This volume examines how Middle Eastern peoples in the 19th and 20th centuries lived and flourished while trying to shape their politi ..."

The Book of the Decisive Treatise was and remains one his most important works and one of history's best defenses of the legitima ..."

In this eloquent masterpiece the great political thinker describes his sense of isolation from a society he felt had rejected his writings - and the manner in which he has come to terms with his a ..."
