It was Franklin -- responding to the question ""Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"" as the 1787 Constitutional Convention- who said ""A republic, if you can keep it."" Earl Warren, more than most, knows firsthand the challenge ""keeping it"" entails, and therefore it is only natural that this summing up of his constitutional convictions should stress that our individual liberties are in constant danger of erosion, that they live precariously under the loaded gun of majoritarian ignorance and indifference.

A re-run of the famous film director's career that has a very personal touch, and the appeal of the technical side of movie-making. Bitten by the bug at an early age in Texas, King Vidor sold tickets, ran the projector and shot his own pictures, learning the hard way about cameras, lights, action -- and story. His brashness carried him first to New York, then to Hollywood where he went from directing short subjects to feature films. He elaborates on the problems presented in each of his major films, and on the incidents of production. All are discussed along with the theory and practice of f... View more info

Prof. Nissen looks upon the Swedish system of educational gymnastics as the best one and its introduction in the Boston public schools has been attended by the happiest results. The system embraces more than the perfunctory calisthenics which are so common and which are so imperfectly taught that, in many instances, physical deformities are th... View more info

The sole voice of reason among the advisers to Tsar Nikolai II, Stolypin died at the hands of the anarchist Mordko Bogrov, and with him perished R... View more info
