The Roswell Slides: A Retrospective
Kevin Randle mentions, at his blog [kevinrandle.blogspot.com], in a piece about a Tom Carey interview that his readers can find my take on the slides (which, by the way, started in 2013 and went all the way through to 2015 and that Mexico fiasco).
Kevin suggests that those still interested can come to this blog and input, in the search bar at the upper left of the opening page, Roswell Slides, and they will get my views about the slides, some of the views not flattering to Kevin, at the time.
So, for those of you who are still interested -- can this be so? -- type in Roswell Slides, above left, in the search bar and have at it.
(One disgruntled with and envious person of this blog keeps trying to insinuate that my part in the slides farce is other than what it really was. You can find my actual take on the Roswell slides by reading what I was writing about them, at the time.)
I thank my pal Kevin Randle for his judicious attention to my meager output here. He's one of the few objective, honest persons in the UFO community and that is significant.

Silence and loyalty to the end?
Robbie Graham provides a litany of personages in his book Silver Screen Saucers who seemingly or circumstantially had access to authentic UFO movies and documentation. [Page 28 ff. particularly]
This brings me to speculate, as I have in the past here (and elsewhere), why, if notable persons had information or knew of real UFO sightings and events, why they would keep quiet about such things, even unto death.
I noted, several years ago, in a post here (and at our other UFO blogs), that it seemed odd to me that if President Harry Truman actually was privy to a flying saucer crash, with alien (extraterrestrial) bodies in Roswell, why he wasn't affected, overtly, by the knowledge of such a profound event?
He continued his daily walks and defense of his daughter but never indicated that something apparently transformational for humans had taken place in Roswell, New Mexico, July 1947.
And what about General Curtis LeMay who allegedly scolded his friend Senator Barry Goldwater for asking about "the blue room" (where Roswell debris, bodies and other ET things were stored) at Wright-Patterson Air Base?
LeMay never made a public (or private?) pronouncement about such items.
Robbie Graham mentions Allen Dulles, one-time head of the CIA (who I have found submerged in the UFO story early on and suggested him as noteworthy to Nick Redfern) and Dwight Eisenhower, who supposedly witnessed a UFO or UFOs during a military maneuver, and, by some nutty ufological accounts, actually was taken to a secret place to meet an extraterrestrial captured by the U.S. military when he was President.
Yet, Dulles remained silent about his UFO knowledge and Eisenhower went on golfing, day after day, unfazed by his knowledge of alien life having penetrated the Earth.
CDA has often raised the question, if Roswell was a real crashed flying disk event with intriguing technology, why has it remained secret for almost 70 years; no one putting the truth forward or leaking such an enormous incident's details.
We know that secrets, about everything, end up being disclosed by investigation or loose lips.
Some prime examples include Suetonius' Lives of the Twelve Caesars [121 A.D.] which presented the most, insidious details about the Roman Caesars – information unbeknownst to the public and other historians (such as Tacitus) – and The Secret Gospel of Mark, allegedly discovered by scholar Morton Smith, which insinuates that Jesus Christ was homosexual, the information expurgated from the canonical Mark by the early Church fathers but still hinted at in the Biblical Mark: [And when Jesus was seized by Jewish elders and soldiers in Gethsemane] "a certain youth followed Him wearing a linen cloth on his bare body, and when they seized him, he left the linen cloth behind and fled from them, naked." [Mark 14:51-52]
And we know, from Edward Snowden, that great secrets can be and will be leaked by those who see a greater boon in truth than in a false loyalty to temporary power-holders.
But none of this happened or is happening when it comes to UFOs. No one, it seems, has had the guts or need to be ethical (truthful) and disclose what the UFO reality is or has been, no one!
How can that be?
Either there is no UFO reality, as my friend Zaom Chomsky insists or the truth is maintained by persons who think secrets imposed by their peers or betters must remain secret, even unto death.
The latter is moral madness, nothing more, nothing less.
(Get a copy of Suetonios' tome and Robbie Graham's book for insights that you need to be considered intellectual and well-knowing about the topic of UFOs and history.)

Three Books: Ray Palmer, UFOs and Hollywood, and Cave Art (a neuroscientific view)
Palmer, as most of you know, was a showman and entertaining con-man (or con-artist).
Much of the early flying saucer mythos derives from his efforts to promote himself and his enterprises.
I find him intriguing and an archetypal figure representing many in the past and current UFO community (or ufology if you wish).
Robbie's book makes a great introduction to the saga of flying saucers and/or UFOs.
The opening pages put Zoam Chomsky's erratic but vibrant anti-UFO spiels in their place. (No, Robbie doesn't mention Zoam but provides a view that eradicates Zoam's insistence that UFOs do not exist and have never existed.)
Robbie leans toward an ET explanation for the phenomenon, with which I disagree, but his view is not only reasonable but erudite, as I noticed earlier.
I'll be presenting gems from this splendid book sporadically here; it's a superb read.
Then I got this 2009 book, also from Daedalus:
Books about primitive (cave art) disrupts the foolishness of the Ancient Astronaut crowd by positing that early humans came to their senses without the intervention of extraterrestrial beings.
I'll provide some commentary on this upcoming, too.
(I only wish that readers here would co-operate and add to my ramblings with incendiary but intellectual comments that edify me and others.)
Now order Robbie Graham's book and maybe the Palmer item. You won't be disappointed by either and will certainly enjoy Robbie's effort.

A Pre-Roswell UFO crash?
MO41, The Bombshell Before Roswell" by Paul Blake Smith, might well be the most exciting, shocking, and impactful event – and now book subject - in not just American history, but all of human history.
Did three extraterrestrials really crash-land their circular spaceship on a farm just outside of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in mid-April of 1941? Was this stunning recovery then taken to a secret hiding place beneath perhaps the most recognizable building in the world? Was an aspect of the scientifically examined alien craft's propulsion system applied to the U.S. nuclear weapons program to help win World War II?
The serious, amazing pre-Roswell claims and quotes, rumors and insights, opinions and documented facts are all examined here, in proper chronological, easy-to-read order, the only book to ever comprehensively explore perhaps the wildest nonfiction story of all time.
The results make up a case that could win in a court of law, or at least in the court of public opinion. You, the reader, decide!

A 1716 Illustration of a UFO?
Google's UFO alerts provided, in a link [http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/18th-century-book-cover-prove-8880692], a 1716 book cover that allegedly depicts a UFO.
"The Latin text, a treatise on Mathematics by Johann Caspar Funck, features an illustration on its cover clearly depicting a UFO . The flying saucer is shown emerging from clouds ..."
Here's the full book cover:
"The Latin text, a treatise on Mathematics by Johann Caspar Funck, features an illustration on its cover clearly depicting a UFO . The flying saucer is shown emerging from clouds ..."
Here's the full book cover:
Robbie Graham's Silver Screen Saucers
I won't review the book, as I wasn't asked to do so, but I will be offering a spate of postings here from the 337 pages of UFO accounts and how Hollywood (the movies and TV) have presented their versions of the UFO phenomenon.
Robbie Graham has compiled, virtually, every UFO account that has impacted UFO buffs and the public and shows how entertainment venues have presented the phenomenon to its audiences.
Robbie Graham has been at this for some time. and I've been following his erudite writing about UFOs and their movie/TV representations during much of that time, recently via Facebook, as a "friend" of his there.
The cover of the book refers to it as encyclopedic, and it surely is, containing all the UFO tales and attendant films (and TV shows) about them that have appeared over the years.
Robbie Graham is no hack. He is a superb, erudite, intelligent writer (an exception in UFO circles) and I can't recommend this book more highly.I'll share insights upcoming. Meanwhile I'm engrossed in the thing....engrossed.

The Socorro Symbol Problem
When it comes to deciphering the symbol seen by Police Officer Lonnie Zamora in 1964, there is a major glitch.
Which insignia represents the actual symbol he saw?
The story, magnified by eccentric UFO buff Ray Stanford, is that the Air Force asked Office Zamora to sign a bogus image, allegedly the arrow with a cupola, to expose hoaxers who might claim they had a sighting of a craft, and used the cupola insignia for witness authenticity. The Air Force anticipated the real symbol, the inverted V with three lines through it, to be what an actual sighter would see.
A few questions…
Why a need for such a convoluted scenario? Did the Air Force know that craft with a real symbol might show up in a raft of new sightings? It's an odd ploy.
So odd, that I discount the story as it exists. Something doesn't add up, but that's usually the case with a Stanford UFO account.
To add a red herring to a thorough and exemplary observation baffles.
And it's possible that the inverted V was the bogus symbol, to throw off investigators and the public, flummoxing an actuality – that the craft was a military/CIA construct commissioned by the government using Howard Hughes' Toolco and/or Hughes Aircraft under contract by Raven Industries, a CIA front, which I've covered amply many times here and elsewhere.
Somehow the Air Force attempted to perplex/bewilder those hoping to determine what Lonnie Zamora saw. And it worked.
Here we are struggling to explain the sighting and its mysterious symbol, 50+ years later.
Was or is Stanford part of the "disinformation"?
Like Frank Mannor in the 1966 Ann Arbor/Dexter "swamp gas" event, Lonnie Zamora threw up his hands and removed himself from the incident, experiencing all the waywardness of the Air Force, Hynek, and others, even Stanford himself.
(The anecdote that when Officer Zamora's daughter asked what really happened, he, Zamora, pointed to Stanford's bizarrely titled book and said, "He got it right" is strictly apocryphal.)
I'll have a note on the symbol/insignia, the case's "smoking gun," upcoming.

The Alien Civilization Evolutionary Canard
The Fall 1978, No. 1 issue of UFO Update! (pictured) has a "editorial" by Stanton Friedman, with his quote, "I can safely say that the laughter curtain" has gradually risen, and that most people are ready to listen to the scientific data.. [Page 4]
But skipping that nonsense, written before his Roswell/Marcel inculcation, I found a superficial piece by Michael A.G. Michaud, We Are Not Alone, [Page 22 ff.] Here, Michaud persists in telling readers:
"Since 1945 nations have conducted hundreds of nuclear tests above ground, producing distinctive electromagnetic pulses which can be detected far away. Since the 1950s, our radar and television stations have been sending out powerful signals that could be picked up many light years from earth by radio telescopes." [Page 59]
He also writes that the radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico is sending out "powerful radio signal(s) toward a distant cluster of stars" with "concentric wave fronts [from such] electromagnetic energy which could only be produced by a technical civilization [ours]." [ibid]
Thus, "alien civilizations that may exist … may soon find out [that we are here] because of our technological activity." [ibid]
I've dealt with such conjectural silliness many times here.
But what galls me more, in Michaud's piece, is his speculation about evolution, writing this:
"We must remember that not all evolutions to intelligence would occur at the same time … Humanoid [sic] creatures emerged on this planet only a few million years ago – yesterday in terms of geological or cosmological time … Other intelligent beings may have evolved long before us; we may be newcomers to the galaxy. Millions, even billions of years ago, some of the universe's most advanced evolutionary products may have leaped outward from their home systems to other suns [like ours] … perhaps a ship or two surveyed that undistinguished, average star we call the sun, or even landed on an obscure planet we call the earth. [ibid]
(I like his references to our sun and Earth as "undistinguished" and "obscure.")
Evolution, as delineated by Darwin, is unique to the many vicissitudes of Earth, the many aspects that allow evolution to begin and work on this planet. Those "aspects" would have to be identical, or nearly so, for an alien world to follow the evolutionary path that occurred here, causing the rise of the flora and fauna (and especially sentient life) as we know it.
It's would be highly improbable that another species of life would emerge and progress along similar lines that humans have, including the creation of technological manifestations such as radio, television, radio telescopes, and nuclear bombs.
It's foolish, unscientific thinking for UFO buffs and even scientists, who often resort to evolutionary processes when theorizing about alien life on other planets.
This is the illogic, the ignorance, the madness that makes me intellectually bilious.
I hope you see my point.

UFOs and oneupmanship (rather than UFO research)
UFO buffs (ufologists?) are more interested in internecine arguments than they are interested in resolving the UFO mystery.
Kevin Randle referred to this as oneupmanship, a little used term nowadays that denotes the practice of besting an opponent in a discussion, using any machination to wipe the floor with one's adversary: ad hominems, illogic, vituperation, vulgar epithets, anything.
UFOers like to argue. They do not like to exert energy on the UFO phenomenon itself.
Some (like David Rudiak and Kevin, himself) pursue the vicissitudes of sightings, the aspects of witness testimony and the alleged "evidence" offered as proof of a UFO sighting or event.
Everyone else jumps on a UFO account (or report) to debunk or approve it. These UFOers engage in back-and-forths with each other, not to clean away the scrim of a UFO sighting but, rather, to see who sounds the most intelligent. Circumspection is nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, a few (very few) work to see what they can discern from the (often) weak elements of a UFO account that witnesses provide.
(Zoam Chomsky) derides witness accounts as meaningless and sees all UFO sightings as the empty ramblings of delusional observers, whose ramblings have provided a mythos, one without any substance at all.)
Quiet UFO research hasn't gotten us anywhere close to a discernment of what UFOs are either. The primary reason for that is so-called "ufologists" are deficient in research acumen; that is, they are untrained in the mechanisms of research, and lack the disciplinary accoutrements of science.
Even a UFO maven as skilled as Jacques Vallee hasn't come up with anything worthwhile, just untested conjecture and erudite rumination, which doesn't go far when dealing with such a barbarously elusive phenomenon as UFOs.
Thus, we are stuck in an unresolved rut of wayward wrangling and opportunistic jousts to make points, for an audience that doesn't care one fig for what UFOs are. They just want a voice at the UFO table, to give some kind of value to their meaningless lives.
And that, dear friends, is "ufology" as French skeptic Gilles Fernandez often reminds us.

The Sea Peoples
More interesting to me than imagined extraterrestrials...
HERE for article.
HERE for article.
Have UFOs influenced human evolution, human history, human anything? No!
UFO buffs will cite early or ancient UFO sightings as important but they (the UFO sightings/reports) only indicate something odd was seen in the sky (or on the ground).
And I noted, in a 2013 posting here, that one image in the sky (a UFO or divine apparition) did affect humanity:
"In the whole of the UFO and UFO-like litany of sightings and events, there is only one that has affected human evolution or social evolution: the 312 A.D. appearance of a flaming cross during a battle near the Roman Milvian (or Mulvian) Bridge.
That sighting, by Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, helped establish the Holy Roman Catholic Church or religion, which controlled the lives and activities of Western civilization's humankind, up until the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917."
But that's it.
UFOs have not and do not permeate any aspect of human existence, not human art, not human economics, not human sport, not human activity of any kind.
Even when militaries tried to emulate a flying saucer design, the efforts went nowhere.
The emphasis on UFOs by some elements in human society – the odd balls – is a sad commentary on human intelligence. It's the one area where one sector – fortunately a very small sector -- of humanity has been affected by UFOs (or flying saucers).
Even weeds or locusts have affected humankind more than UFOs have.
So, why do some of us dwell on the evanescent phenomenon? You tell me.

Ufology and wish-fulfillment
Psychiatry, today, is not prone to pursue Freud's emphasis on wish-fulfillment for dreams or anything else.
Jung was loath to expand on Freud's concept, especially as it applied to dreams.
But taking away the psychoanalytic patina of wish-fulfillment, one can see the desire of many UFO buffs to find an extraterrestrial explanation for UFOs.
They, ET-wishers, have a fear or longing, to escape from this existent drudge that many find themselves in.
In the UFO field or community one can see, rather obviously, a need for ET relief – they will save us, they will excite us with new technologies, new medicines, an exotic experience – and a concomitant need for fame or financial gain, the latter a delusion that many UFOers think exists.
One can find exorbitant needs to prove one is brilliant. (This blog is an example some think.) Commentary in most UFO blogs often consists of strident forms exhibiting an intelligence that is just not there.
One can see persons who became emerged in the UFO field to assuage their failures in their before-UFO careers: Stanton Friedman, Linda Moulton Howe, Jerome Clark, et al. (You can cite, yourselves many other inconsequential wannabes.)
But the great mass of UFO followers consist of persons who really only want to make their lives exciting, fulfilled by a need for extraterrestrials, often replacing a god or God.
In a sub-genre, I could – but won't for various reasons – offer "evidence" that the Roswell slide group and participants were less trying to con the public and ufologists than trying to fulfill their belief that ETs crashed in Roswell and the U.S. government has confiscated the alien bodies involved, keeping them secret for obtuse reasons.
Some readers here like to attribute lying to those who see UFOs harboring interest in nuclear plants and missile sites, while those who seek and think they've found valid accounts of such activity are merely following their delusional need for an ET presence on Earth, a folly that I've tried to address here.
So-called abductees are extreme examples of a need for ET-saviors (like the angels and demons of old) or a need to gain some fame (notoriety) for their pathetic lives. (One doesn't find famous or successful persons saying they've been abducted by alien beings.)
Wish-fulfillment is an underlying stratification for those with psychological needs, and UFOs offer, because of heir esoteric nature, a platform for persons who need to excel at something and who find UFOs (or ufology) an easy place where they can assume a mantle worthy of their aberrant need to be something other than what they really are.

An Attack of Aliens (from space), Owls, or "creatures from the id?
The August 1955 Kelly-Hopkinsville incident is fascinating, for a number of reasons.
Here's the Wikipedia account:
Kevin Randle provided an extensive 2011 blog post that I'd link to except it has commentary from some asses who shouldn't be acknowledged.
What disturbs, although I would usually accept a psychological "explanation" as worthy of insertion for a UFO event or an incident like this one, is the cavalier interpretation trotted out to dismiss this intriguing event, presented in Wikipedia (and other dismissive, skeptical explications:
The Hopkinsville entities have a decidedly earthly explanation. The "aliens" were in fact, Great Horned Owls, and the eyewitnesses were probably intoxicated during the "alien attack"
— Rodney Schmaltz and Scott Lilienfeld, Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
It seems as if the episode could be listed, instead of the silly explanation above, as a case of "mass hysteria, Thomas Szasz, in Insanity; The Idea and Its Consequences [John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1987, Page 174] writing:
"Paracelsus (1493-1541), considered to be one of the first modern physicians, … attributed [a similar 'outbreak' in the 16th Century of St. Vitus' Dance] to 'the irrational power of imagination and belief.' – surely a remarkably perceptive way of describing it."
That anyone would see the Frontiers of Psychology explanation as rational goes to the heart of how many odd UFO cases by credible persons are "explained away" (as ufologists used to say). A parliament of owls is a stretch as an explanation, as I see it.
The "event" bespeaks a case of mass hysteria (which I can't discount) or an intrusion by things from a paranormal world or multiworld, temporarily extant in August 1955. But why?
Two "normal" families were involved, with children. They saw and re-acted to the supposed creatures, allegedly saying they arrived by spaceship.
Wikipedia identifies two members, one each from the families involved, as "itinerant carnival workers."
(I worked at a carnival, staffed by itinerants, me among them, while on vacation in Canada one summer during my youth. And the workers were a highly suggestible lot, full of weird stories about their lives and experiences, many of the tales odd to the point of schizophrenic-like ramblings.)
So, one might consider a psychic contagion by the "itinerant carnival workers" who created a miasmic environment that provoked mass hysteria and/or an induced hallucination.
Or the Sutton/Taylor families actually engaged in a shoot-out with creatures from somewhere outside normalcy (or the id, as suggested in Forbidden Planet).
At any rate, the tale/report intrigues and, like most (or all) UFO tales, remains unexplained.

Amir Khan: I Know This is Make or Break For Me!
By Jake Donovan
This Saturday promises to unveil a complete makeover in the career of Amir Khan, if the fighter's word is to be taken at face value. The former 140 lb. champ enters this weekend's showdown against Carlos Molina on the heels of back-to-back losses, including a brutal 4th round knockout defeat at the hands of Danny Garcia this past July.
Khan (26-3, 18KO) has spent the past several months absorbing knowledge from newly hired trainer Virgin Hunter, whom he hired shortly after breaking away from Hall-of-Fame cornerman Freddie Roach. Several changes have been made in the Brit's career, but one constant remains – his years-long tradition of fighting in his birth month.
"December is always a nice time to have a fight," says Khan, having celebrated his 26th birthday last Saturday. The occasion was spent putting the finishing touches on preparation for his Showtime-televised headliner with Molina, which airs live from the Sports Arena in Los Angeles. "It's coming towards the end of the year and nice to finish the year off strong. I've had a nice break coming into this December fight."
Khan has fought in December in every year of his career since turning pro in 2005. The Brit is 6-1 overall in that run, with the lone loss coming last year when he dropped a controversial split decision to Lamont Peterson in his opponent's hometown of Washington D.C.
The month has provided several big moments for Khan, including his Dec. '10 war with Marcos Maidana, which was universally recognized as high among the year's best fights. A pivotal fight in his career came in Dec. '08, knocking out Oisin Fagan in two rounds to bounce back from his 1st round knockout loss to Breidis Prescott, the first defeat of his career.
Other notable wins in December include 1st round knockouts over Dmitry Salita (2009) and Graham Earl (2007). The latter of the two came on Khan's 21st birthday and also served as his breakout performance, given Earl's strong showing in a Fight of the Year contender against then-unbeaten Michael Katsidis earlier in the year.
Those days seem so long ago for the still-promising star, who promises a fresh start on Saturday night to put behind him an otherwise disastrous year.
"Training camp has gone great. I feel like I'm in great condition. I know the mistakes I've made in previous fights and we're not going to make them again," Khan insists. "I'm excited to show you what the new Amir Khan is going to be like.
"I've kept things quiet and just want to show you what we've been working on, training in San Francisco in the Bay Area, alongside such great fighters like Andre Ward. Even though I've trained hard for previous fights, I know this fight is make-or-break for me. Connection-wise, everything is going to come together for me in this fight."

Autobiographical Writingsby Mark Twain
An intimate look at Mark Twain that only he himself could offer A must-have for all lovers of Mark Twain, this selection of his autobiographical writings opens a rare window onto the writer's life, particularly his early years. Born on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, Samuel Langhorne Clemens first used the pseudonym Mark Twain while a journalist in Nevada in 1863. When his first major book, The Innocents Abroad, appeared six years later, he began what would become one of the most celebrated and influential careers in American letters. Autobiographical Writings will help readers know the author intimately and appreciate why, a century after his death, he remains so vital and appealing. .
Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Vol. 1by Mark Twain Michael B. Frank Victor Fischer Harriet E. Smith Benjamin Griffin
"I've struck it!" Mark Twain wrote in a 1904 letter to a friend. "And I will give it away--to you. You will never know how much enjoyment you have lost until you get to dictating your autobiography." Thus, after dozens of false starts and hundreds of pages, Twain embarked on his "Final (and Right) Plan" for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion--to "talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment"--meant that his thoughts could range freely. The strict instruction that these texts remain unpublished for 100 years meant that when they came out, he would be "dead, and unaware, and indifferent," and that he was therefore free to speak his "whole frank mind." The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Twain's death. In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press is proud to offer for the first time Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography in its entirety and exactly as he left it. This major literary event brings to readers, admirers, and scholars the first of three essential volumes and presents Mark Twain's authentic and unsuppressed voice, brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions, and speaking clearly from the grave as he intended.
Autobiography of Mark Twain: Volume 1, Reader's Editionby Mark Twain Harriet E. Smith
The year 2010 marked the 100th anniversary of Mark Twain's death. In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press published Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, the first of a projected three-volume edition of the complete, uncensored autobiography. The book became an immediate bestseller and was hailed as the capstone of the life's work of America's favorite author. This Reader's Edition, a portable paperback in larger type, republishes the text of the hardcover Autobiography in a form that is convenient for the general reader, without the editorial explanatory notes. It includes a brief introduction describing the evolution of Mark Twain's ideas about writing his autobiography, as well as a chronology of his life, brief family biographies, and an excerpt from the forthcoming Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2--a controversial but characteristically humorous attack on Christian doctrine.
Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2by Mark Twain Victor Fischer Benjamin Griffin Michael Barry Frank Ms Harriet E. Smith
Mark Twain's complete, uncensored Autobiography was an instant bestseller when the first volume was published in 2010, on the centennial of the author's death, as he requested. Published to rave reviews, the Autobiography was hailed as the capstone of Twain's career. It captures his authentic and unsuppressed voice, speaking clearly from the grave and brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions. The eagerly-awaited Volume 2 delves deeper into Mark Twain's life, uncovering the many roles he played in his private and public worlds. Filled with his characteristic blend of humor and ire, the narrative ranges effortlessly across the contemporary scene. He shares his views on writing and speaking, his preoccupation with money, and his contempt for the politics and politicians of his day. Affectionate and scathing by turns, his intractable curiosity and candor are everywhere on view. Editors: Benjamin Griffin and Harriet E. Smith Associate Editors: Victor Fischer, Michael B. Frank, Sharon K. Goetz and Leslie Diane Myrick
Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 3by Mark Twain Benjamin Griffin Ms Harriet E. Smith
The surprising final chapter of a great American life. When the first volume of Mark Twain's uncensored Autobiography was published in 2010, it was hailed as an essential addition to the shelf of his works and a crucial document for our understanding of the great humorist's life and times. This third and final volume crowns and completes his life's work. Like its companion volumes, it chronicles Twain's inner and outer life through a series of daily dictations that go wherever his fancy leads. Created from March 1907 to December 1909, these dictations present Mark Twain at the end of his life: receiving an honorary degree from Oxford University; railing against Theodore Roosevelt; founding numerous clubs; incredulous at an exhibition of the Holy Grail; credulous about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays; relaxing in Bermuda; observing (and investing in) new technologies. The Autobiography's "Closing Words" movingly commemorate his daughter Jean, who died on Christmas Eve 1909. Also included in this volume is the previously unpublished "Ashcroft-Lyon Manuscript," Mark Twain's caustic indictment of his "putrescent pair" of secretaries and the havoc that erupted in his house during their residency. Fitfully published in fragments at intervals throughout the twentieth century, Autobiography of Mark Twain has now been critically reconstructed and made available as it was intended to be read. Fully annotated by the editors of the Mark Twain Project, the complete Autobiography emerges as a landmark publication in American literature.

Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finnby Mark Twain
Los mejores libros jamás escritos. «Dijimos que no había hogar como una balsa, después de todo. Otros sitios parecen estrechos y asfixiantes; pero una balsa, no.» Criticada y elogiada por igual, esta novela no solo constituye la culminación de la narrativa de Mark Twain, sino también el clásico por excelencia de la literatura estadounidense. Mark Twain, con su irónico sentido del humor y su prosa ágil y precisa, nos lleva por el Mississippi de la mano del inolvidable Huck Finn y su fiel amigo Jim, quien huye de la esclavitud. Novela sobre el racismo, la violencia, la amistad y la libertad en unos años turbulentos, Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn es una lectura imprescindible a cualquier edad. La presente edición, en una traducción de José A. de Larrinaga, incluye el «Episodio de la balsa», un pasaje que Mark Twain decidió excluir persuadido por el editor de la primera publicación. Completa el volumen una esclarecedora introducción de R. Kent Rasmussen, uno de los máximos expertos en la obra de Twain. Roberto Bolaño dijo sobre Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn...«Sobrevivir. Esa es una de las magias que el lector encuentra en esta novela. Capacidad para sobrevivir.»
Las aventuras de Tom Sawyerby Mark Twain
Este es un clásico entre los clásicos de la literatura para niños. En él se nos muestran las más diversas aventuras de un grupo de amigos que comparten juntos sus sueños típicos de esa hermosa etapa, en un pequeño pueblo del Oeste. Peleas y juegos; travesuras. En medio de todo ese paraíso infantil se crece. La imaginación será el vehículo mediante el cual se explorarán todos los caminos de la vida, para finalmente aprender a interpretar el complicado mundo en que vivimos. Las ilusiones también despiertan aquí; los sueños se anticipan a la realidad. El niño se prepara para hacerse hombre ensayando las relaciones interpersonales que lo ayudarán a escoger un lugar entre los otros, auto reconociendo la fortaleza y la debilidad de su carácter para enfrentar al destino.
Las aventuras de Tom Sawyerby Mark Twain
Una obra maestra de la literatura que ha fascinado y sigue fascinando a generaciones de lectores. «Solo me llamo así cuando me zurran. Cuando soy bueno me llamo Tom. Llámame Tom, ¿de acuerdo?» En Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer Mark Twain recreó una época de cercas enjalbegadas y picnics dominicales en la parroquia, cuando el trasiego de la vida desbordaba el Mississippi y la esclavitud estaba a la orden del día; eran los años del antebellum, antes de que la guerra de Secesión transformara la historia de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, mientras Tom Sawyer forma una banda de piratas para ir en busca de un tesoro enterrado, o cuando está en casa compartiendo un brebaje con el gato de su tía Polly, lo que se proyecta no es solo el mundo rural de los estado sureños en el siglo XIX, sino la ilusión de una infancia eterna. La historia de Tom Sawyer es, en definitiva, el relato de la naturaleza humana cuando el mundo en el que juega pronto dejará de existir. William Faulkner dijo sobre Mark Twain...«El padre de la literature norteamericana.»

Christian Scienceby Mark Twain
Christian Science is Mark Twain's razor-sharp attack on a popular movement which was sweeping the country at the turn of the 20th century. One of the tenets of Christian Science is the healing of physical illness through prayer. Having recently lost a daughter to meningitis, Twain responded angrily to the notion that pain and sickness were easily surmounted. His deep-seated iconoclasm also caused him to take aim at Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, who he saw as self-promoting and fraudulent. Using all of the satire and wit for which he is famous, Twain pokes fun at a movement he feared would become a powerful force in the country.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain
A nineteenth-century American travels back in time to sixth-century England in this darkly comic social satire.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain
Mark Twain's classic satirical tale of time travel and Arthurian legend Hank Morgan is a supervisor at a firearms factory in Hartford, Connecticut. Following a violent argument with a man named Hercules, Hank is surprised to find himself under an oak tree, staring up at a man on horseback in full armor. The year is 528, and Hank has somehow landed in King Arthur's Court in Camelot. Worse still, Hank is ridiculed by the boorish knights, brought in front of the Round Table, and sentenced to burn at the stake. Will Hank die at the hands of the Knights of the Round Table, or can his Yankee ingenuity save his hide? Mark Twain's seminal satire sends up the South's ridiculous preoccupation with chivalry, the Catholic Church, fear of science and progress, and dozens of other behaviors and beliefs. Credited as a foundational work of the time travel subgenre of science fiction, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is also a timeless comic classic. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain
In this classic satiric novel, published in 1889, Hank Morgan, a supervisor in a Connecticut gun factory, falls unconscious after being whacked on the head. When he wakes up he finds himself in Britain in 528 -- where he is immediately captured, hauled back to Camelot to be exhibited before the knights of King Arthur's Round Table, and sentenced to death. Things are not looking good. But Hank is a quick-witted and enterprising fellow, and in the process of saving his life he turns himself into a celebrity of the highest magnitude. His Yankee ingenuity and knowledge of the world beyond the Dark Ages are regarded as the most powerful sorcery -- winning him a position of prime minister as well as the eternal enmity of a jealous Merlin. In an effort to bring democratic principles and mechanical knowledge to the kingdom, Hank introduces newspapers, telephones, bicycles, and other modern conveniences to the Britain of the Dark Ages. But when he tries to improve the lot of the common people, chaos and war result, giving a bittersweet tone to this comic masterpiece by one of America's greatest storytellers.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain
You might wonder what prompted Mark Twain to sidle from ""straight"" fiction into the realm of outright fantasy. Twain transports a Connecticut shop foreman twelve centuries into the past [and 5 000 kilometres!] to Camelot and Arthur's court. <P> <P> Initially confused and dismayed, Hank Morgan's Yankee practicality is quickly aroused and he becomes a major figure among the panopolied knights. With the title of The Boss, his rank equals The King or The Pope with its uniqueness. His elevation doesn't distract him from a more profound impulse, however. Hank's Yankee roots and wide experience evoke an ambition - nothing less than revolution. He wants to sweep away the monarchy and aristocracy and establish an American-style republic in Arthurian Britain. Mark Twain's scathing criticism of the sham of hereditary monarchy bolstered by an Established Church makes this among his choicest writings. He resents the condition of a Church which ""turned a nation of men into a nation of worms. "" A fervent believer in individual freedom, Twain uses Hank to voice his disdain of Britain's royalty. It's no more than might be expected of a man who boasted of but one ancestor - who sat on the jury that executed Charles I. Hank knows revolutions never succeed when implemented from above. Revolution be achieved only when the individual's attitude changes from meek acceptance to self assertion. Hank's method reaches people through clandestine schools and factories, publication of a newspaper and establishment of a telephone system. These new forms of manufacture and communication become the foundation by which Hank expects to abolish the ancient, mis-named, chivalric tradition. Does he change the course of history? Twain relocates the roots of American democracy from the heart of the frontier yeoman farmer to the brain of the urban industrial worker. Here the man of wide, practical experience shows how to survive compared to those with a formal education. Hank has a simple ambition - establishment of a republic - but utilizes a broad spectrum of ideas to bring it about. He would gladly replace the Established Church of Rome with his own Presbyterian ideals, but is aware that it would be swapping one evil for another. ""Each man should select his own religion, or make one"" he contends. Yet, finally, it is this dread force that impairs his desire for change. The final sequence stands as a peer to the biblical Armageddon, Twain wallowing in a frightful bloodletting unseen in any of his other works. Mark Twain contrasts the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution with the centuries of slavery, serfdom, and poverty that killed countless more people than that spasm of excising of aristocracy. What else spurred him to write of human rights with such passion? He had written of slavery before, but this book is especially wrathful in describing the ""peculiar institution"" eliminated in his homeland but a generation before. He forces the king to experience the slave's condition, a form of degradation he would have all aristocrats endure. Every feature of the human condition is examined in this timeless treasure. He challenges you to follow his gaze, considering whether today's societies, monarchical or not, will endure the scrutiny.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain
After a blow to the head, an American named Hank Morgan wakes up in England. Specifically, King Arthur's England of 528. With no other options, Morgan uses his knowledge of science to pass himself off as a great wizard. This earns him the enmity of Merlin. Biting social commentary and laugh out loud humor make this book a classic.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain
Hank Morgan awakens one morning to find he has been transported from nineteenth-century New England to sixth-century England and the reign of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Morgan brings to King Arthur's utopian court the ingenuity of the future, resulting in a culture clash that is at once satiric, anarchic, and darkly comic. Critically deemed one of Twain's finest and most caustic works, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is both a delightfully entertaining story and a disturbing analysis of the efficacy of government, the benefits of progress, and the dissolution of social mores. It remains as powerful a work of fiction today as it was upon its first publication in 1889.From the Trade Paperback edition.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain Daniel Carter Beard Bernard L. Stein
WhenA Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Courtwas published in 1889, Mark Twain was undergoing a series of personal and professional crises. In his Introduction, M. Thomas Inge shows how what began as a literary burlesque of British chivalry and culture developed to tragedy and into a novel that remains a major literary and cultural text for generations of new readers. This edition reproduces a number of the original drawings by Dan Beard, of whom Twain said "He not only illustrates the text but he illustrates my thoughts. "

Raising The Bar For Real Estate
How a Huntsville, AL Real Estate Agency Has Thrown The Gauntlet By Giving Back
"It's not enough to just talk about our core values." says Broker/Owner Elizabeth Ramsey Golden of @Homes Realty Group. "We have to show the community that we do care, and we do have giving hearts. Right now, seeing is believing for them."
Those who have worked with @Homes Realty Group are taking notice. "I LOVE your community involvement....know we love and support you!" said one family working with Golden. She's even recruited past clients to join in the fun, as well as other businesses in Huntsville. "We are so grateful to have other businesses and members of our community coming together to help. 4Wall Entertainment Lighting has become a sponsor, allowing us use of a vehicle, their warehouse, and even use of their VP of Business Development!"
"We also have Wilson Lumber as a co-sponsor,--
And for this group of volunteers, "giving" is what it's all about. "This is just a blessing!" proclaimed Ms. Williams, one of the seniors who will have her wheelchair ramp repaired. "When you see how happy they are that someone came to help, when they see that someone cares...it is one of the best feelings in the world." says @Homes Realty Agent, Ainsley Bowen.
"Our goal is to help others and give back to our community. We'd be doing these things anyway, but we're hoping to repair some of the trust that was lost by our industry during the housing crisis. Consumers are weary now, and they should be. If we want our community to believe that we are here to help, we have to show them." says Golden.
@Homes Realty Group and their team of volunteers will be hitting the streets of Huntsville, AL tools in tow, on Saturday, November 3, 2012 from 8:30 - 3pm.
"We still need volunteers, and donations of materials like cleaning supplies, nails...things like that" says Amber Menin, @Homes Realty Group's Office Manager. "We really hope that we can continue to grow our community involvement in this project."
@Homes Realty Group was founded in 2010, and in that same year was nominated as one of Inman's "Innovators of the Year". @Homes Realty Group features a unique consumer friendly website and continues to provide innovative approaches to consumer education with their soon to follow video FAQ page, and virtual tours for buyers and sellers.

We have just rented our condo for the January - April time period. If you can not find a place for the prime winter season months, you may want to consider our condo for the early shoulder season of Nov & Dec at a reduced rate and spend Thanksgiving and/or Christmas in sunny Englewood.
We are located at the north end of Lemon Bay with awesome water views from our unit. Watch the mullet jumping, the sea birds flying by, and the dolphins & manatees playing in full view from your screened lanai. The white sand beaches of the Gulf are only about a mile away and can be easily accessed by car, bicycle, or walking.
Our relatively small gated condo complex of only 48 units allows you to know your neighbor or maintain your privacy whichever you desire. Frequent informal social events of residents and guests make for an enjoyable stay for all. Grounds are well maintained and are tropical in nature. The heated swimming pool is great in the winter as is the relaxing adjacent hot tub. Tennis court, gas grill, fishing dock, and shuffleboard all included for your use at no additional fee.
Our unit is approximately 1150 sq. ft. plus the screened lanai. Access to the lanai is from the living room or the master bedroom. View of the water from most rooms of the unit. Completely furnished for your enjoyment away from cold winter winds and low temperatures. Come and enjoy the laid back Florida lifestyle. More photos and information available on request.
Keywords: Condominium
Convenient to many activities, friendly neighbors, and well maintained subtropical grounds.
Relaxing view from our unit's screened lanai of the waterway on which our condo is located is outstanding.
Hi Wayne & Joy,
Thank you so much for the enjoyable stay. We have such good memories of our time here. Here is just a small treat (brownies) for all you have done for us. Really enjoyed our time in Florida.
This is our second season at the condo. It is located on a large creek that empties into the ICW. The condo is two bedroom and tastefully furnished. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. The complex has protected parking, pool with hot tub, and tennis/pickleball courts. The grounds are very well cared for. The beach is only 1.5 miles away. Shopping is nearby. Highly recommend this property.
We rented this condo for the months of February and March. It's in a great location and is close to quite a few beaches and parks. I highly recommend a walk down Beach Rd. in the morning. You cross over two bridges and can see birds, dolphins and manatees. The complex is kept up very nicely. The grounds are beautiful. The pool is always at a comfortable temperature. We met a lot of people from the cold weather states that were very friendly. The condo is comfortably furnished. The lanai looks out over Gottfried Creek. We saw lots of birds fly in (including a bald eagle), manatees swam by, and the fish are jumping up constantly. We would have booked it again for next year, but we ended up buying a house while we were down there. Overall, this is a great place to stay!
Great area to be very active or just relax. You decide. However whatever your pleasures, they will take place in the mild winter season of southwest Florida. Off the beaten path yet within 10 miles of I-75

How can I lower the pH value (South American and Southeast Asian fish)?
How can I lower the pH value? I keep hatchetfish, Cardinal tetras, yellow gouramis and Siamese algae eaters in my aquarium, and I wanted to add a few Otocinclus as well.
you can lower the pH value with sera super peat (blackpeat granulate) or sera pH-minus.
At the moment, the pH value is 8, or is that not too high at all?
It is indeed too high for the fish!
If yes, what should it be like?
A pH value around 6.5 would be ideal in this case.
How many specimens of Otocinclus affinis should I keep?
The midget sucker catfish do well in groups of approximately 8 - 10 specimens; but they are very likely not Otocinclus affinis - this species is extremely rarely imported, and virtually all fish sold under this name in the trade are from other species.

Cultures of War: Pearl Harbor / Hiroshima / 9-11 / Iraqby John W. Dower
Finalist for the 2010 National Book Award in Nonfiction: The Pulitzer Prize-winning historian returns with a groundbreaking comparative study of the dynamics and pathologies of war in modern times. Over recent decades, John W. Dower, one of America's preeminent historians, has addressed the roots and consequences of war from multiple perspectives. In War Without Mercy (1986), winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, he described and analyzed the brutality that attended World War II in the Pacific, as seen from both the Japanese and the American sides. Embracing Defeat (1999), winner of numerous honors including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, dealt with Japan's struggle to start over in a shattered land in the immediate aftermath of the Pacific War, when the defeated country was occupied by the U.S.-led Allied powers. Turning to an even larger canvas, Dower now examines the cultures of war revealed by four powerful events--Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, 9-11, and the invasion of Iraq in the name of a war on terror. The list of issues examined and themes explored is wide-ranging: failures of intelligence and imagination, wars of choice and "strategic imbecilities," faith-based secular thinking as well as more overtly holy wars, the targeting of noncombatants, and the almost irresistible logic--and allure--of mass destruction. Dower's new work also sets the U.S. occupations of Japan and Iraq side by side in strikingly original ways. One of the most important books of this decade, Cultures of War offers comparative insights into individual and institutional behavior and pathologies that transcend "cultures" in the more traditional sense, and that ultimately go beyond war-making alone.
Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War IIby John W. Dower
Drawing on a vast range of Japanese sources and illustrated with dozens of astonishing documentary photographs, Embracing Defeat is the fullest and most important history of the more than six years of American occupation, which affected every level of Japanese society, often in ways neither side could anticipate. Dower, whom Stephen E. Ambrose has called "America's foremost historian of the Second World War in the Pacific," gives us the rich and turbulent interplay between West and East, the victor and the vanquished, in a way never before attempted, from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes and fears of men and women in every walk of life. Already regarded as the benchmark in its field, Embracing Defeat is a work of colossal scholarship and history of the very first order. John W. Dower is the Elting E. Morison Professor of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for War Without Mercy.<P><P> Winner of the National Book Award.<P> Pulitzer Prize Winner
Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Rememberingby John W. Dower
Remembering and reconstructing the past inevitably involves forgetting--and nowhere more so than in the complex relationship between the United States and Japan since the end of World War II. In this provocative and probing series of essays, John W. Dower--one of our leading historians of postwar Japan and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Embracing Defeat--explores the uses and abuses to which this history has been subjected and, with deliberation and insight, affirms the urgent need for scholars to ask the questions that are not being asked.Taking as a starting point the work of E.H. Norman, the unjustly neglected historian of prewar Japan, Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Remembering sets out both to challenge historiographical orthodoxy and reveal the configurations of power inherent in scholarly and popular discourse in Japan and America. Dower's fascination with capturing popular experience leads to sources as far ranging as textiles adorned with wartime propaganda and the satirical cartoon panels that decorate traditional karuta playing cards. Dower, who is rightly known as one of the most perceptive critics of American foreign policy, also offers a blistering critique of the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the misuse of postwar Japan as an example of success. Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Remembering is a profound look at American and Japanese perceptions--past and present--of key moments in their shared history. An incisive investigation of the problems of public history and its role in a modern democracy, these essays are essential reading for anyone interested in postwar U.S.-Japan relations, as well as the broader discipline of history.

Minnesota Wild winger and former Erie Otter Michael Rupp has been suspended four games without pay for a hit to the head of St. Louis Blues winger T.J. Oshie on Thursday night, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced Friday.

Rupp also will forfeit $7,692.31 from his salary, which will be added to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund, according to the league's collective bargaining agreement.

Terrell Owens Finds Swirly Love In Colorless Place With Real Chance Of Love Reality "Star" Kip Force
If it ain't white it ain't right huh Terrell?
Terrell Owens Said To Be Dating Reality Star Kip Force
Via BSO
Apparently T.O.'s baby mama drama has led him to the paler side of life. He is now said to be comfortably booed-up with a Real Chance Of Love season 2 reality star Kip Force who Real and Chance named "Blonde Baller".
Kip and T.O. have dated in the past, in fact, they were so close that she actually gave him a key to her crib (as evidenced by this text message pic that she posted on Twitter).
Awww, her loves her some him.
She probably shouldn't have eaten that bacon cheeseburger before this photoshoot, but we digress.
Don't get it twisted, Kip isn't just a ratchet reality "star", she's an "author". After her stint on the VH1, Kip went on to write a tell-all book titled Behind The Reality TV Industry 101, she is also a "model" (it hasn't been confirmed if she models clothes or coochie).
Being that Kip seems to be a bit of an attention slore and T.O. needs money, we wouldn't be shocked if these two love birds end up on a TV screen near you soon.
Wonder how long before she has a gut full of broke baller?

|Here are some details about my project:
|Children, Infant / Baby, Boys, Girls
|Casual, Funky, Cute, Traditional, Preppy, Hipster
What materials did you use? Khaki cotton with Multi-Chevron Cotton lining (pair 1) & dishtowels in red stripe w/solid white lining (pair 2); Snap Tape; Snaps (non-tape type); Elastic
What are you most proud of? taking an idea i got from a gift to my grandmother from a friend and making life size baby pants - from a set of dishtowels!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? if you are going to use dishtowels for this project, wash them several times prior to sewing. i found they shrink more than cotton typically does, and they shed a lot as well. These were a gift to a friend, I'm glad I did all the prep work I did - having a new baby is enough work. No one needs to be picking lint off of everything the baby is wearing either. Be sure to leave room in the pants for diapers, be they store bought or cloth!

Robin Williams was a talent unto himself, able to ricochet from performances that were riotously funny to ones that were extremely sensitive, even somber.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch's Neil Patrick Harris isn't the only big TV star up for a Tony Award Sunday night, but give him credit – he is the only TV star nominated for playing the role of a transgender East German glam-rocker.
In honor of Harris's transformation, we've decided to see what the How I Met Your Mother star looks like posing with his gender-flipped self, along with an octet of actors who – whether they played trans characters, or just cis folk forced to cross-dress by the demands of plot – also became their own personal Orlandos.

PHILADELPHIA — Offensive linemen around the National Football League might want to know that Fletcher Cox isn't all snort and fury when they line up across from him on game day. He actually does know how to smile.

"It's really mind-blowing," he said. "When you're dealing with that much money, it's really mind-blowing. I'm really, really excited about it."

Employers costs for Medicare, workers' compensation rise from 1966-98
April 28, 1999
Employer costs for employee benefits include "legally-required benefits", those employer obligations that have been enacted in State or Federal law. Such benefits include Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and workers' compensation. In 1998, the share of all compensation that went to these legally-required benefits was 8.2 percent, up from 5.1 percent in 1966.
[Chart data—TXT]
From 1966-1998, Social Security was the legally-required benefit with the highest cost to employers. The share of total compensation going to Social Security rose from 2.8 percent in 1966 to 4.7 percent in 1998. However, the overall share of legally-required benefit costs represented by Social Security was relatively stable—54.9 percent in 1966, compared to 56.4 percent in 1998.
In recent years, workers' compensation and Medicare have taken up a greater proportion of employers' legally-required compensation costs, while the share for unemployment insurance has declined. Unemployment insurance accounted for 21.6 percent of legally-required compensation in 1966, but only 7.9 percent in 1998. In contrast, the portion of legally-required benefits that pays for workers' compensation rose from 17.6 percent in 1966 to 21.5 percent in 1998, and that for Medicare rose from 5.9 percent to 14.1 percent over the same period.
Data on employer costs for legally-required benefits and other compensation are available from the BLS Employment Cost Trends program. For additional information, see "Tracking Changes in Benefits Costs" (PDF 46K), Compensation and Working Conditions, Spring 1999.
