- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

A once-unthinkable crisis in the world's greatest freshwater region -- one that sent more than 500,000 metro Toledo residents scrambling for bottled water Saturday -- enters its second day today, with officials inside the city's Collins Park Water Treatment Plant wondering how much longer it will take before clean, safe, and reliable tap water will flow again from faucets of area homes and businesses.
"We've been getting mixed results," Jeff Martin, a senior chemist at the plant, confessed during an exclusive interview with The Blade on Saturday while performing tests for microcystin -- a toxin produced by the harmful blue-green algae known as microcystis -- inside the plant's laboratory on samples drawn from 39 metro Toledo sites.
The cause of the microcystis algae bloom is primarily phosphorus from farm fertilizer runoff, and the amount of phosphorus determines the bloom's size. Scientists are also learning that another farm fertilizer, nitrogen, affects the size and composition of the annual bloom.
Toledo sits on the shoreline of the Great Lakes, which holds 20 percent of the world's fresh surface water.
A small water treatment plant in Ottawa County's Carroll Township was Ohio's first to be overwhelmed by the toxin last September.
Until 2 a.m. Saturday, city and state environmental officials maintained such a crisis was unlikely in Toledo because the water plant is western Lake Erie's largest and most sophisticated.
But after seeing symptoms of a problem emerge late Friday -- a series of suspicious test results that showed a pattern of contamination -- officials were told by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to issue the city's first "do not drink" or boil warning to the system's customers.
The warning went out on Facebook, followed by a series of news conferences.
Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins said he was notified about 10 p.m. Friday that the numbers weren't good -- even though the algae season has barely begun.
About midnight, he heard of the Ohio EPA's plans to issue a warning against drinking the water.
"I don't believe we'll ever be back to normal," the mayor said during an evening news conference. "But this is not going to be our new normal. We're going to fix this. Our city is not going to be abandoned."
For most of Saturday, Mr. Collins and others conferred among themselves and via phone with Gov. John Kasich from the Lucas County Emergency Services Building near downtown after the governor had declared a state of emergency.
Meanwhile, confusion reigned inside the Toledo water treatment plant, with no clear answers if other water systems in the western Lake Erie region were in danger of a similar crisis or if Toledo might have possibly had a series of false positives because of the federal EPA's failure to settle on standard testing protocol.
Water plant operators from Monroe to Sandusky have been urging the federal regulatory agency to develop a testing standard, asserting they are the public's last line of defense but are left without knowing the best way to test for microcystin.
"They have just been sort of waffling on it," Mr. Martin said about the U.S. EPA.
The federal agency has said it is still months away from finalizing such a standard.
Toledo has an eight-phase treatment process.
The chemical permanganate is applied in the water-intake crib 3 miles north of the shoreline, starting the treatment process before the water even gets to the plant, which can take six to 12 hours. The length of time aids in reducing contaminants, officials said.
Along the way, the raw lake water is treated with powdered activated carbon, mostly for taste and odor; alum, to bind particles together and make them easier to remove; lime, to reduce hardness; soda ash, to neutralize excess alum; polyphosphate for stability; chlorine, for disinfection, and fluoride, to combat tooth decay.
The decision on when Toledo's water is going to be safe enough to drink again is "basically going to be the Ohio EPA's call," a weary Jeff Calmes, the plant's administrator of operations, said after being up more than 38 consecutive hours.
Depending on the results, the same treatment process could be used.
The Ohio EPA is awaiting results of samples sent off to a U.S. EPA laboratory in Cincinnati, a state EPA lab in Columbus, and a lab at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., before making that call.
"At this point, we're waiting on test results," Andy McClure, plant superintendent, said.
Data from tests performed by Toledo and Oregon are "very confusing for everyone," Mr. Collins said.
"We really don't have a true answer. One set of tests is different from the other," he said. "... We don't know for sure [whether] these [city] tests are proof positive, but certainly we're not taking any risks."
Mr. Collins said he will not tell Toledo residents to resume drinking water from their taps until he is convinced it is safe enough for children.
Water was expected to be available again today at several locations, including Woodmore, Waite, Central Catholic, and Springfield high schools, as well as at least two fire stations in Oregon.
At the Collins Park water-treatment plant, Mr. Calmes was one of many employees distressed by the ordeal.
Many were going on little or no sleep.
"We've got a very dedicated work force," Mr. Calmes said. "It's an 'all-hands-on-deck' mentality here today."
Records show the first sign of microcystin inside the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant appeared on July 6, when a reading barely high enough to be detected by the plant's technology was recorded.
That, in itself, is not unusual. The toxin has been found at low levels before inside the plant since 1995, when microcystis reappeared in western Lake Erie after a 20-year absence.
The toxin appeared again inside the water plant between July 15 and 18.
But until Saturday, it never was known to slip through the plant's multi-staged treatment process.
That triggered the region's largest known water crisis, which prompted many residents to begin scrambling for bottled water hours before dawn.
Shortly after the bulletin was put online at 2 a.m. Saturday, residents emptied shelves of bottled water in grocery stores and carryouts within about a 100-mile radius.
Water that had been destined for other parts of the state was diverted to northwest Ohio so stores could restock. The National Guard trucked in water from Akron and Piqua, which is north of Dayton. Premixed formula and military meals were delivered to Toledo from Columbus.
Water stations were set up at high schools, fire stations, and even unannounced locations around the area.
The Village of Pioneer in western Williams County made one of the most generous offers of the day: They said they would make 600,000 gallons of potable water available every 24 hours. Those interested must bring their own trucks, containers, or bottles to 409 First St. in the village.
Restaurants in the affected area were urged to close unless they can guarantee no consumption of tap water. Bottled water shipments that were destined to other regions were rerouted to Toledo, said Kroger spokesman Jackie Siekmann.
Joe Andrews, Ohio Department of Public Safety spokesman, said the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections had converted its milk-bottling plant near Columbus to package drinking water in large bladders.
Dr. David Grossman, director of the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department, said a safe level of microcystin is 0, but an allowable level is below 1 parts per million.
At the Collins Park plant, water was testing as high as 2.5 parts per million, he said.
Toledo-area hospitals reported more than 100 people sought treatment in emergency rooms by late afternoon, concerned that they were ill from ingesting contaminated water. Some displayed symptoms such as upset stomach, dizziness, and vomiting.
When word went out Saturday morning that Toledo's tap water was contaminated, Garrett Wieland, of Toledo, heard the news just before 8 a.m. and yelled to his girlfriend not to get in the shower. He then headed out in search of bottled water, ending up a couple blocks from home at the Walgreen at 4580 Monroe St.
He was among a crowd of shoppers who had heard the store had bottled water available, but found the clerks were selling water that had yet to arrive on a truck from the distribution center south of Toledo. Sales were limited to five cases of 24-ounce water bottles per customer and sold out within minutes.
"We were lucky to get some," Mr. Wieland said. "The line was just crazy, and things got a little heated in there."
Hope Gonzalez, who lives in the Old West End, also was among the shoppers who waited, sometimes sitting on overturned shopping carts or chairs and milk crates that Walgreen employees brought out from the store.
"Lesson learned," Ms. Gonzalez said. "I will always be buying water every time I go to the store now. We're never getting caught without some water in the house again."

Photo Courtesy With Leather Blog Miami's baseball fans are extremely upset at the most recent Marlins fire sale. Yesterday, to protest the dismantling of the team, all of the Marlins' fans came out to Marlins Park to voice disapproval of the trade of the Miami Marlins to the Toronto Blue Jays. The blog With Leather has the report: Fans of South Florida's embattled baseball franchise flocked to their year-old stadium to express their disdain with owner Jeffrey Loria for trading away half of their team for a group of players that doesn't even include the Blue Jays' top prospect. And as anyone would have expected, you could count the Marlins fans protesting on one hand. I feel for them and hope they get some satisfaction from this whole situation. I wouldn't even feel so bad reminding them that with MLB.tv they can watch any team that they want. They can feel free to follow the Phillies. I'd sponsor their membership as a Phillies fan.

Opening the concert is the "Roman Carnival Overture" by Hector Berlioz, followed by the "Polovtsian Dances" from the opera "Prince Igor" by Alexander Borodin and continues the theme of dance with Franz Suppe's "Light Cavalry Overture." American rodeo takes center stage in act two. Fans of Aaron Copland will enjoy the four dance episodes of "Rodeo."
Tickets are $16 and $20 for adults, $13 and $17 for seniors and $3 and $8 for students. Children under 12 are free. Tickets can be purchased in Pendleton at the OES Office, 345 S.W. Fourth St., by calling 541-276-0320, at Armchair Books, 39 S.W. Dorion Ave., or at the door.

ClimateGate: CRU Agrees To Publish All The Data. That They Haven't Thrown Away
Yesterday, the "scientists" involved in ClimateGate made an important announcement
Leading British scientists at the University of East Anglia, who were accused of manipulating climate change data – dubbed Climategate – have agreed to publish their figures in full.
In a statement welcomed by climate change sceptics, the university said it would make all the data accessible as soon as possible, once its Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had negotiated its release from a range of non-publication agreements.
Today, "um, well, ya see, our Bad!"
SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.
They are saying they dumped the raw data, after it had been adjusted, massaged, given a nice vacation in the Sahara Desert, during a move to a new building to save room. The originals, kept on paper and magnetic tape (it was the 80's, after all), were deemed unimportant. Considering the real importance of the data, and the money these folks have been granted over the years, it might have been worth the investment to rent a self storage space, or build a shed, or something.
Considering the importance of the data in showing that their theories about Man induced warming, this could be one way of "hiding the decline." Just wait till the government hearings start, and they have to explain why they dumped the data, and are raked over the coals.
Riehl World View: The very foundation of science is that it be reproducible. These unprofessional hacks have made re-production of their work to validate their conclusions impossible.
TigerHawk: So, basically we are being asked to restructure the entire economy of the planet on the say-so of a few "scientists" whose work cannot be verified or even reconstructed. Is there any intellectually honest person who thinks that is a good idea?

STOCKHOLM (AP) - Pia Sundhage is returning to her native Sweden to coach the women's national soccer team.
The Swedish soccer association said early Sunday that Sundhage signed a four-year contract that starts Dec. 1. The announcement came hours after Sundhage's last match as coach of the U.S. women's team, an 8-0 exhibition win over Costa Rica.
Sundhage led the Americans to consecutive gold medals and their first World Cup final in 12 years.
"I have long dreamed of becoming Sweden coach and now I am so happy," Sundhage said.
She will replace Thomas Dennerby, who resigned last month.
"She's got more than 100 caps for Sweden. She's an icon there," U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said. "It's always been a dream for her."

Bush continues to laud MukaseyWASHINGTON - After two Democratic senators agreed to back his attorney general designate, President Bush on Saturday worked to seal the confirmation of Michael Mukasey. 'He is a man of character, and he had been praised by Republicans and Democrats alike for his honesty, intellect, fairness and independence,' Bush said following a week of ups and downs in getting Mukasey confirmed amid a debate over waterboarding, which simulates drowning and is widely viewed as torture. The retired judge has refused to say whether he considers the practice an illegal interrogation technique. Bush used his weekly radio address to nudge Mukasey's nomination to the finish line, a day after Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., gave him a nod. Their backing virtually assured that the Senate Judiciary Committee would recommend his confirmation to the full Senate when it votes next Tuesday. W. Va. protesters demand hate crime charges CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Hundreds of people marched through the state capital on Saturday to urge prosecutors to add hate crime charges against six white people charged in the beating, torture and sexual assault of a 20-year-old black woman. Authorities say the accused, three men and three women, held Megan Williams captive for days at a rural trailer - sexually assaulting her, beating her and forcing her to eat human and animal feces. Hundreds attend student's funeral CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - Hundreds of people crowded into a church in a Cleveland suburb Saturday to remember a woman who was among seven college students killed in a North Carolina beach house fire. At the service in The Federated Church-United Church of Christ, Allison Walden, 19, was remembered for her energy, cheer and commitment to her studies at the University of South Carolina, the Rev. Mark Simone said. 'There was lots of laughter and lots of tears,' Simone said.' Massive pileup along freeway FRESNO, Calif. - More than 100 cars and trucks crashed on a fog-shrouded freeway Saturday, killing at least two people and injuring dozens more, the California Highway Patrol said. Eighteen big rigs were involved in the massive pileup on Highway 99 just south of Fresno as patches of dense fog obscured visibility on the heavily traveled roadway, CHP officials said.

Maria Sharapova was in Stuttgart, Germany, a few weeks ago when she turned 27. So she went on a birthday outing, complete with desserts and stuffed animals and amusement park rides.
Her trip into the city also happened to promote her upcoming appearance at the WTA tournament there, whose title sponsor, Porsche, also happens to be one of Sharapova's sponsors. The car company also makes the Porshe 911, which happens to be the shape of the new candy flavor that was launched at the event by Sugarpova, the candy line that Sharapova happens to own.
Other people throw parties, Sharapova throws promos. Had she been booked to play her first-round match during all this, Sharapova would probably have won that, too, all in between smiling for cameras in the traditional German dress she wore for the occasion.
As it was, Sharapova began her Stuttgart campaign the following week, winning her third title -- and third Porsche -- to continue her unbeaten run at the event. After a slow start, the victory has helped kick-start her season.
Another title followed at Madrid, and she won 12 clay matches in a row before an in-form Ana Ivanovic to beat her at Rome the week after. It was the Russian's first defeat on clay to anyone expect Serena Williams since 2011, but she still feels ready for the French Open after doing better than anyone on the surface this year.
"It doesn't take anything away from the last two weeks and the way that I've played," Sharapova said after the match against Ivanovic. "So I'm quite excited about the weeks coming up at the Grand Slams."
Until she got back on clay, Sharapova's season had in some ways been more significant off the court than on.
After sitting out most of the second half of 2013 with a shoulder injury, she fell in the fourth round of the Australian Open and then played the indoor WTA event at Paris, which was notable not as much for her semifinal showing as for Sugarpova making its first appearance as a tournament sponsor. Sharapova then switched sporting arenas to serve as one of the faces for the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, her childhood hometown, and carried the torch during the opening ceremonies.
Returning from that memorable experience at Indian Wells, she exited early and admitted a few days later that her shoulder was taking some time to regain the strength it needed for long, three-set matches. But almost right away, she won a two three-setters in a row while reaching the semifinals at Miami and left that tournament feeling more encouraged by her play.
The next time she made headlines, however, they were in the business rather than the tennis section. The four-time Grand Slam champion announced that she was becoming a spokesperson and investor in a cosmetics company specializing in skincare, her first time taking an ownership position with a company she endorses.
Her agent, Max Eisenbud, told Bloomberg that it would be a more time-consuming commitment than Sharapova had previously been willing to make, but that she now wanted to get more involved with her sponsors.
"The last couple years, as she's started to get near the end of her career, I began to focus on what kinds of relationships could she start now and then be with when her career is over," Eisenbud said.

Greg Schiano didn't have to follow the NFL closely over the past decade-plus to keep up with the exploits of Peyton Manning. Tampa Bay's first-year head coach was an assistant with the Chicago Bears when Manning began his pro career in 1998, then spent two years as an assistant at the University of Miami and the next 11 transforming one of college football's worst programs into a Big East contender at Rutgers. Still, Manning's accomplishments with the Indianapolis Colts and now the Denver Broncos are virtually impossible to overlook. The four-time league MVP faces the Buccaneers' porous pass defense this week, and Schiano is doing everything he can to make sure his young, inexperienced secondary is prepared for the challenge.

It was bizarre, say students—even for a professor who gets off (excuse the pun) on controversy.
The King of Pop lived and died in controversy but will be long remembered as an icon who transcended anything we threw at him.

Just how impressive is this feat. Derek Jeter has trekked towards 3500-3800 for most of his career but goes down again to the DL around 3310 hits.
Will we ever see 3500? 3700? 4,000? again?
I still think Jeter gets a couple dozen more this year and eventually get to 3500+
Ichiro might get to 3,000 and had over 1,000 in Japan, but Tuffy Rhodes was a star over there too.....but had Ichiro always been here he might be pushing near 4,000.
Miguel Cabrera is at 2,000 at a very young age but I'd be pretty shocked if he went too far past 3,000....but could push 3500
Arod, Griffey and Pujols looked to be 3500 guys for a long time. Roberto Alomar had the 3500 look until his early 30's.
To me.....4256 is getting more and more impressive. Good Luck Mr. Trout

This month's Tools of Change (TOC) theme is "formats." Even though O'Reilly's customers still tend to favor PDF it's clear that mobi and EPUB are the formats with all the momentum. In order to get the scoop on EPUB I decided to go right to the source. The IDPF is the organization that develops and maintains the EPUB standard and Bill McCoy is the IDPF's Executive Director. Bill was kind enough to sit down and talk with me about the current state of EPUB and where it's heading.

It has been recently revealed in a report that there has been the launch of a new cancer cell line Encyclopedia by the drug firm Novartis, and the Broad Institute. This is going to be a very effective new guide for research and development. It has covered about 1,000 most prevalent types of cancer cell lines in humans and has detailed reviews and drug treatments give out about the same.
This made with a lot of hard work from the scientists involved. They have put in a lot of effort towards, of research in the same. The aim of making the book is to facilitate in further reference and research. This shall be able to help doctors, treat their patients better in the time to come. It might be definitely helpful in solving the queries of medical experts in the time to come.
"Cancer is a genetic disease. Cell lines reflect the genetic disturbances that drive cancers. Probing cell lines with medicines targeted at specific pathways, as done for the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, provides a powerful tool for design of cancer treatment", said Mark Fishman, President of the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR).
This book shall facilitate understanding each patient better in the time to come, and treat their cases individually; not having to go by what has been one in the majority of cases.
It shall increase the scope for novel development of treatments to fight various types of cancers in the near future. It remains to be seen how beneficial it is going to be for the cancer suffers in the time to come, and mow many lives it might be able to save with the help of the extensive research and development put into the book.

Stokley continues to shine
Brandon Stokley might be the No. 3 WR, but he's been a big key to Indy's offensive success this season.
Originally Published: November 14, 2004By Len Pasquarelli | ESPN.com
INDIANAPOLIS -- He is making a league-minimum base salary of $535,000 this season, and making a lot more big plays than several NFL receivers who are earning several times that much, but Indianapolis Colts wideout Brandon Stokley made it clear Sunday that he can't even begin to see himself in another offense that better suits his skills.
"This place and this offense, well, they're perfect for me," said Stokley, who has already voided the segment of his contract that extends beyond this season, ...

With my first son, 7 years ago, I didn't do any supplements.
This time, in light of all of the recent research about Vitamin D, I'm thinking of supplementing that at least. I went to Whole foods and saw a fish oil (DHA) supplement including vitamin D for babies, and wondered about this for a EBF baby...I know breastmilk contains DHA I think.
Any thoughts?
I don't think you're going to overdo it by giving it to him. I give my breastfed seven month old a fish oil with vitamin D. My plan is to give it daily, but honestly, it works out to more like 2-3 days a week.
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
it's good to be concerned. i gave my son the carlson drips. one drop on the nipple then suckle. vitamin d is important especially if you do not get outside often and during winter months.

Life Insurance - Settlement Options and Illustrations
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS Death proceeds of a life policy can be paid out in five different options: lump-sum, fixed amount, fixed period, interest only, and life income.
a. Lump-sum - Although this option is still available it is not used as frequently as the others.
b. Fixed amount - Policy proceeds plus interest are used to pay out a specified amount of income at regular intervals until the proceeds are exhausted.
c. Fixed period - Provides for equal payments of an amount that will exhaust the principal and interest by the end of the fixed period.
d. Interest only - Provides that the insurance company hold the death benefit in trust for a specified time, while the interest earned on the proceeds is paid to the beneficiary at stated intervals. The death proceeds are then payable under a life income plan.
e. Life income - Essentially the insurer uses the death proceeds to purchase a SPIA, even if the principal is depleted the income payments continue as long as the beneficiary is alive.
Definition: An illustration is a presentation that shows theoretical policy performance based on both guaranteed and non-guaranteed basics of a life insurance product over a given time frame. Illustrations demonstrate how a life insurance product works and how policy values (premiums, dividends, cash values, death benefits, etc.) accumulate under the current dividend schedule, which is not guaranteed, and may change over time. These are based on certain expectations of what will or might happen. When premiums, rates of returns and death benefits are fixed, this is not a problem. However, when these become variable, the projected numbers are not guaranteed.
Are illustrations a good way to predict future performance?
No, illustrations should not be used to project future performance or as a means to compare products. Dividend performance may change over time. Since future policy values almost certainly will be different from those illustrated, illustrations of dividends and non-guaranteed values are not intended to be and should not be used as "estimates" of future performance. Professionals are strongly encouraged to use illustrations based on dividend interest rates one or two percentage points below the current rate to see how policies would react to changes in dividends, especially when illustrating situations that are particularly sensitive to dividend schedule changes.

Political Hay
The Surviving Ron Paul Report
Foreign policy, not racism, is the main front in the Paul wars.
Shortly before Christmas, Ron Paul appeared on the Tonight Show, yukking it up with Jay Leno and dishing on his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination. Michele Bachmann, Paul said, "doesn't like Muslims. She hates Muslims. She hates them." The Texas congressman agreed with Leno that Rick Santorum is obsessed with certain minority groups: "Gay people and Muslims."
Three things immediately struck me about Paul's comments: they are unwise for someone seeking to win a statewide contest in socially conservative Iowa; they are unfair and uncharitable to his colleagues; and they are utterly incongruent with the current flap over his newsletters from the 1990s.
Paul's instincts don't jibe with the newsletters' more offensive material, which in turn have virtually nothing to do with his current appeal. Moreover, if Paul held social views that were unhelpful to his campaign, it is clear he wouldn't let political considerations keep him from eventually blurting them out.
That's not to say that the Paul camp's explanation for the newsletters is satisfactory, especially for what is now a top-tier campaign. Newt Gingrich became the first of the major Republican candidates to go after Paul on this front. "I think it's very difficult to see how you would engage in dealing with Ron Paul as a nominee," Gingrich told CNN. "Given the newsletters, which he has not yet disowned."
Paul has disowned the content in question, even if he hasn't given a convincing account of its authorship. What vexes the former House speaker is that Paul has also signed his name to some of the most effective anti-Gingrich attack ads running in Iowa. "You look at Ron Paul's record of systemic avoidance of reality, his ads are about as accurate as his newsletter," Gingrich complained.
Enter Eric Dondero, a longtime former Paul aide. Like David Stockman on Ronald Reagan and John Dean on Richard Nixon, Dondero has emerged as an insider who can be counted on to give hostile quotes about his old boss, with whom he now disagrees. Whatever can be said about the details of Dondero's latest statement -- in describing others' views, he doesn't see a lot of daylight between "pro-defense right-libertarians" and "isolationist/pacifist/surrenderists" -- he is surely right that this dispute is less about Paul's alleged political incorrectness in the '90s than his foreign policy views now.
Many of the young supporters drawn to Paul's message on war and civil liberties had barely been born when Murray Rothbard died. To them, "paleolibertarianism" is more ancient history than the creation of the Federal Reserve. Similarly, the writers most dedicated to digging through the Ron Paul Survival Report archives are almost uniformly foreign policy hawks.
None of this makes exploring a presidential candidate's past an illegitimate journalistic exercise. Barack Obama had ties to Jeremiah Wright; Rudy Giuliani conducted three hard-fought mayoral campaigns in the period of racial polarization that helped give rise to the Survival Report. If either of them had published incendiary newsletters, it would be worth investigating even if the heavy lifting had to be done by scribes who opposed other aspects of the candidates' policy agendas.
Moreover, Paul continues to attract some marginal supporters. Some are kooks and 9/11 truthers, despite the obvious intellectual contradictions between "blowback" and conspiracy theories alleging that the 2001 terrorist attacks were an "inside job." Others are bigots and anti-Semites. Paul remains convinced that it is more important to spread the libertarian gospel than to purge the undesirables in his midst.
Yet it only seems fair to note that today Paul is the lone Republican candidate who talks about the suffering of black Americans under the war on drugs, that he is further removed from the idea that "[c]ops must be unleashed and allowed to administer instant punishment" than any major candidate in either major party. Paul has risen in the polls not because Americans are coming around to his views on past controversies, whether they concern the Civil War or the 1988 Libertarian Party nomination fight, but because they share his belief that the country's current direction is unsustainable.
Some of Paul's war-weary voters might even prefer a candidate who broke less radically from the American foreign policy consensus. But the Chuck Hagels and Jon Huntsmans don't tend to be with them when it counts. They regret their support for the last war and then go on to reluctantly support the next one.
A Republican Party free of racism or bigotry is an admirable goal. A GOP free of meaningful debate on foreign policy is anything but.

The wealthiest Republican Party boosters will resent the assertion that peer pressure and ego motivate their giving.
As for claims that he taught students to resent white people?
"take (something) ill; be in some degree angry or provoked at," c.1600, from French ressentir "feel pain, regret," from Old French resentir "feel again, feel in turn" (13c.), from re-, intensive prefix, + sentir "to feel," from Latin sentire (see sense (n.)). Related: Resented; resenting.
