Sex, lies, and videotape

Customer Reviews:

Absolutely Sexy!!.......2002-01-16

...I have not yet seen the movie and read the screenplay and loove it! Steven Soderbergh is not only a great director, but also a very good screenplay writer. The story was unique in the sense that it had a very contemporary feel to it - and yet at the end of it all addressing the same issues such as loneliness, sexual needs, love, strive, and hatred in a marriage or a failed relationship. I would love to see Peter Gallagher, James Spader and Andie McDowell play these roles out!! Great book!

Book Description

Justice in a small Southern town. The true story of police, prosecutors, and politicians in a rural East Tennessee county.

This is the true story beginning in 1998 and running up through 2005 of criminal prosecution based on power and petty politics. Sex, drugs, a prosecutor with paranoid symptoms all come together to make this read like fiction, but it is as true as today's headlines.

Exposes the good, the bad, and the ugly about small town politics, and names the players in doing so........2006-08-27

Cawood's book exposes the good, the bad, and the ugly about small town politics. What is different about this book and makes it a must read is that all the key players are named along with their sometimes illegal deeds. Cawood not only exposes the skeltons in the closets of Roane County, Tennessee's political players (District Attorney, Judge, Sheriff, Sheriff Deputies and Investigators) he exposes his own skeltons as well. It's a very intimate portrait. If you weren't on first name basis with the author when you started the book, you will be when you finish it. You will cheer his victories. Cawood's arch rival, the local District Attorney along with the sheriff, lost re-election bids after his book was published. The real life polical and law enforcement players in this book, their crimes and cover-up makes this a must read for anyone, regardless of reading genre.

This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Criminal Justice, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
The portrayal of sex crime in popular media is distorted and sensational. The media propagate several myths about sex crime and provide numerous inaccuracies about the nature and level of sex crime. Employing content analysis, this research sought to systematically and critically explore the presentation of sex crime in local television newscasts. The results revealed that approximately 10 percent of crime stories were sex related. In addition, the results suggested that sex crime stories were more likely to present fear, while being less likely to appear sensational or report motives. Finally, unlike the majority of crime stories, sex crime stories were more likely to be reported in the later stages of criminal justice, which included the court, sentencing, and disposition phase. These findings are discussed within the context of common depictions of sex crime. Essentially, victim credibility and fear are universal themes within the context of sex crime presentation.

Book Description

This digital document is an article from Trial, published by Association of Trial Lawyers of America on September 1, 1998. The length of the article is 1409 words.

From the supplier: The tort of tabloid outrage can carry the day for plaintiffs whose reputations have suffered due to unfair depiction in the press, and the gist of this tort is the intentional infliction of emotional distress. Plaintiffs do not have to show an economic loss or a loss of reputation, and lawyers considering this claim must submit the facts to a three-part test, whether the article says something outlandish and untrue, whether there is a good-faith motive for the article, and whether the potential client bears primary responsibility for the article being in print.

I teach Drama at a Classical Christian school and whereas Shakespeare is encouraged, some of his work is well, um...shall we say, a bit "naughty".
I like this book because Mr.Wilson gives brief scenes that show range of character without making me blush in front of the Headmaster!

A good resource...especially for new teachers.......2004-12-31

I purchased this book for a friend who is new to teaching theatre. A month later, she called me and told me how valuable a resource it was for her in the classroom. I think that it is well written and full of useful information.

CRAP!!.......2003-06-24

First off, what a waste of money. I bought this book looking for an essential manual for High-School Theater Directors and what did I find? Crap. I have never read a book with such a condescending tone in all my life. This review can't even begin to tell how terrible this book was. After reading 2 pages I threw it in the fire, put the ashes in a glass jar and dropped it into a well...never to be seen again.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

New Plays from A.C.T.'s Young Conservatory (Young Actors Series)

ASIN: 1575251221

Book Description

Rarely has dramatic literature been specifically created with young performers in mind. This is the genius of Craig Slaight's visionary new works program, in which seasoned American playwrights are invited to create theater for the young artists who have trained in A.C.T.'s Young Conservatory. While the plays are not necessarily written with a specific cast in mind, the parameters are clear: each writer is asked to write a play that actively engages the minds and passions of young (eight- to eighteen-year-old) actors. No subject matter is taboo, no safety net is imposed, and no "artificial sweeteners" are welcome.

Very Inspirational.......2007-04-24

This is a true story about how Mary Kay started her business, as well as how she lived her life. However, I could not do all that selling - I couldn't do any at all, but obviously it didn't bother her at all. It is inspiring and encouraging to know that she put God first, family second, and then career. It is also awesome to know that she treated her employees so good, that there is a long waiting list to work at her company headquarters, and that people can come there just to get away from it all.

Mary Kay Ash was dynamic in person! Nani Aki Linder Author Trial By Fire A True Story Of Hope.......2005-08-19

Mary Kay Ash lived her philosophy of god first, family second, career third. I had the honor of meeting her as a Sales Director with Mary Kay and was priviledged to attend one of her leadership workshops at headquarters in Dallas, Texas. She was a brilliant leader. An inspiring teacher and most of all a woman who walked the talk. Her series of books when read closely reveals a business plan that is bold and forward thinking. It is simple in its application and most of all her plan is doable. I would advise women who want to become consultants with Mary Kay cosmetics to read all of her books. Listen carefully to the plan. Follow the plan, never ever giving up. She used to tell us that "its always too soon to quit!" Great book with great advice from a woman who made it to the top and beyond..........

A Must for your Library.......2005-01-18

This is a must have book!

Mary Kay has it right - Faith, Family and Career! You can't go wrong with this philosophy. This book really helps put things in perspective.

Highly recommend this book to everyone!

Mary Kay is a vey inspirational woman.......2004-08-31

Mary Kay tells her story, from being a poor little girl with a mother who worked outside the home full-time and a sickly father to being a saleswoman who never felt appreciated by her male bosses. Learn the motivational story behind Mary Kay Cosmetics. This book completely expresses what a wonderful, amazing woman Mary Kay was. Very inspirational.

Book Description

Born in rural Texas at the end of WWI, Mary Kay spent her childhood caring for her sick father while her mother supported the family. Years later, a single mother at a time when very few women worked outside the home, Mary Kay was determined to pursue her professional goals. Miracles Happen is Mary Kay's story of a lifetime of outstanding personal, professional and philanthropic achievements. With warmth and charm, she recounts the struggles and fundamental lessons of her early years and the resolve she needed to face her toughest obstacles. A truly inspirational read.

Description in Spanish: En 1963, luego de una larga y exitosa carrera como vendedora, Mary Kay Ash decidió retirarse. Entonces quiso escribir un libro que enseñara a las mujeres a desarrollarse en un mundo dominado por los hombres. Para ello elaboró dos listas: una con todo lo que le había gustado de las compañías para las que había trabajado, y otra con lo que consideraba que podía mejorarse. Al revisarlas, Mary Kay Ash se dio cuenta que había creado, sin proponérselo, el plan de marketing para una "compañía de ensueño". Con el dinero que había ahorrado ¾5,000 dólares¾ y la ayuda de su hijo de 20 años, fundó Mary Kay Cosmetics el 13 de septiembre de 1963.

Gracias al trabajo, dedicación y valores de una mujer, Mary Kay Cosmetics cuenta en la actualidad con más de medio millón de demostradoras y vendedoras en todo el mundo. En 1996, sus ventas al público rebasaron los 2 millones de dólares.
