Near fine condition blue boards, blue cloth spine with silver spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Foreword and Vital Statistics. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. Three formerly dog-eared pages; all other pages are in fine unmarked condition - the volume is otherwise in fine condition. The spine is exceedingly tight and square (see photographs). "Independent, flamboyant, perhaps the football superstar of the '80s - Jim McMahon, reigning king of quarterbacks, tells his own story, from the development of his unique style in a hell-raising childhood to his leadership of the mighty Chicago Bears in their smashing Super Bowl XX victory. Want outrageous? Here's the Jim McMahon of the punk rock haircut, colorful headbands and bizarre wraparound sunglasses who has shocked National Football League purists and delighted fans. Here, too, is the celebrated bout with acupuncture that made McMahon's rear end the hottest topic in football, as well as his mysterious penchant for attracting trouble even when he keeps his notorious mouth shut. In McMahon's words: "We are entertainers in an entertainment business. Show a little flair. Have a little fun." Want amazing? Here's rambunctious McMahon not only surviving but excelling on Brigham Young University 's straight and sober team. Here he is on his first day at the Bears' training camp, beer can in hand, earning the first (but far from last) reprimand from temperamental Coach Mike Ditka. Here's the lowdown on his fellow "mean, intimidating, aggressive, compassionate, smart, sick" Bears, like William "Refrigerator" Perry. And here's McMahon on his real favorite sport. Golf. Want excitement? Here's McMahon reliving the heartbreaking loss in the 1984 NFC Championship. Here he is powering the reversal in the Bears' fortunes the following dramatic year, when the team romped through its storybook 18-1 1985 season. Then, triumphantly, here is McMahon calling the players in Chicago's 46-10 thrashing of the New England Patriots, the most lopsided win in Super Bowl history. You've heard the media's story on the Jim McMahon phenomenon. Now read his side of the story - in the most irresistible sports book of the year." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Warren Shore, a disturbed Vietnam veteran, could not tell the pretty girl he met at the zoo about the busload of dead people or that he had robbed the bodies. He could confide only in his Aunt Victoria, a spinster librarian, who refused to believe her erratic nephew, even though she knew that, astrologically, he was "marked for trouble." Professional assassin Alexander Boyle knew all about the bus and why there were forty dead people inside but nothing about the robbery, and when he found out, poor Warren's days were numbered.

Lenzner leaves us spellbound by this man of many contradictions." - William E. Simon, former Secretary of the Treasury. "An eloquent and terrible warning to all who are struggling to get rich." - John Kenneth Galbraith. "Very interesting and enjoyable reading about a fascinating man." - Donald T. Regan, Chief of Staff to the President of the United States. "A compelling account of a miserable yet fascinating man who for all his personality defects was 30 years ahead of the world in high-stakes empire building." - Seymour Hersch, author, The Price of Power. "It reads like a thriller. Absolutely chilling. Like watching a cobra devour the world." - Erich Segal. "Hadrbitten oilman, spectacular lover, absent parent, miserly art collector, philandering and bigamous husband, bohemian expatriate, social snob, physical coward, Hitler sympathizer, writer, master businessman, and the richest man in the world -J. Paul Getty was all these things and more. Now, in The Great Getty the real Getty is revealed at last. Jean Paul Getty was, by 1957, the richest man in the world - and the richest mane ever to pay only $500 or less a year in income taxes. By the time Getty was 24, he had made his first million, become estranged from his very proper parents, and gotten slapped with a paternity suit. By 1930, he had married and divorced three different teenaged girls within five years - only to marry twice more, one time neglecting to divorce his previous wife first. After wresting control of the family trust from his deaf and aging mother, Getty established himself in the midst of the Depression as an international oilman - one of thefirst to see the potential of Arab oil - and an international bon vivant. Using never-before-examined sources, Robert Lenzner reveals Getty's long romance with Adolf Hitler's Third Reich - a romance so vivid that the State Department considered Getty dangerous and took away his passport. Living out of hotel rooms on two continents and running his business out of shoe boxes, Getty eluded the "Nazi" tag and established his company as the powerful "eighth sister" of international oil. J. Paul Getty collected oil shares, art, and women. He attempted to become a British aristocrat, installed guards in his bedroom and a pay phone for his guests - and gave a start to an ambitious you man called Claus von Bulow. (Years later, Getty's son would secretly underwrite von Bulow's murder defense). Surrounded by a bevy of young women, Getty spent his last years writing his sons in and out of his will. One died young of a brain tumor, one became a drug addict, and another was a probable suicide. When J. Paul Getty died in 1976, he left behind a fortune in art and oil that soon became worth over $6 billion. And he left behind as well a reputation as the savviest, most compelling, and contradictory business genius ever." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

New condition dark brown boards, brown cloth spine, gold front cover lettering and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Preface. "I am convinced that human nature is baciically gentle, not aggressive. And every one of us has a responsibility to ct as if all our thoughs, words, and deeds matter. For, really, they do. Our lives have both purpose and meaning." - from Ethics for the New Millennium and inner front jacket flap. "Only during times when we have so little fatih in one another, so little confidence in the willingness of others to do what is right, can a strong voice emerge to dispel disillusionment. It takes a person of great courage, such as the Dalai Lama, to face these times and give us hope. There is an argument to be made for basic human goodness. The number of people who spend their lives being violent or dishonest is tiny compared with the number of people - the vast majority we don't hear about - who would wish others only well. According to the Dalai Lama, our survival has depended and will continue to depend on our basic goodness. "Much more effective and important than legislation is our regard for one another's feelings at a simple human level.Here, I refer to the capacity we all have to empathize with one another . to arrive at the inability to bear the sight of another's suffering." The Dalai Lama presents an ethical system that not only is based on common sense and reason, as opposed to religious dogma or punitive legislation, but has as its goal ultimate happiness for every individual. He demonstrates that we human beings are better than we think we are, and that a society and a life that cultivate love and compassion are completely within our reach. If enough people operate from the understanding of their "original purity," a global revolution of peace will ensue." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Fron the Nobel laureate and author of the New York Times bestseller The Art of Happiness comes a passionate and exquisitely argued call for a spiritual and ethical revolution." - from the rear outer jacket. "Compassion is what makes our lives meaningful. It is the source of all lasting happiness and joy. ANd it is the foundation of a good heart, the heart of one who acts out of a desire to help others. Through kindness, through affection, through honesty, through truth and justice toward all others we ensure our own benefit. This is not a matter for complicated theorizing. It is a matter of common sense. There is no denying that consideration of others is worthwhile. There is no denying that our happiness is inextricably bound up with the happiness of others. There is no denying that if society suffers we ourselves suffer. Nor is there any denying that the more our hearts and minds are afflicted with ill-will, the more miserable we become. Thus we can reject everything else: religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion." - His Holiness the Dalai Lama, from Ethics for the New Millennium and the rear outer jacket. "The Dalai Lama has developed his philosophy of peace from a great reverence for all things living and upon the concept of universal responsibility embracing all mankind as well as nature." - From the citation by the NOrwegian Nobel Committee awarding the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize.
