The Reagan Administration’s belief that "individual liberties are secondary to the requirements of national security" has led to a massive assault on civil liberties that is unparalleled in American history in its scope and intensity. This indictment of the Reagan Administration examines how exaggerated fears of Soviet capabilities, hostility to the concept of an open society, as well as a search for "total security" and a revolution in constitutional law have not only justified but have institutionalized an attack on the Bill of Rights in ways that will be difficult if not impossible to eradicate. 
While citing historical precedent for counter-subversive crusades, the contributors to Freedom at Risk discuss an alarming number of incidents and ways in which the Reagan Administration has made radical departures with the past in its zealous enforcement of secrecy, censorship, and repression, especially with regards to Central American policies.

Richard Currey's Lost Highway has attracted a legion of admirers since its initial publication in 1997. The book depicts the epic struggle of an ordinary person living his dreams and following his passion. Lost Highway is the story of Sapper Reeves, a gifted country musician from the small town of Maxwell, West Virginia. Sapper’s story covers the events of more than half a century, from his birth in a poor coal mining town through his travels on the back roads of Appalachia in search of recognition and respect. Along the way, Sapper’s embattled love for his wife and struggle to come to terms with his combat-wounded son form the basis of his artistic and personal redemption.

Lost Highway

Lost Highway tells the story of Sapper Reeves, a gifted country music singer/songwriter working the rainy backroads and smoke-filled taverns of the southern mountains in the years just after World War II. Leaving his wife and son behind in his small West Virginia hometown, he is able to make only a paltry living with his music, and finds that his talent is as underappreciated as the country he and his band travel through. Eventually, Sapper reaches a crisis of faith, one that reverberates from the ragged hope of the fiercely independent Appalachian soul to the anguish of Vietnam where his son serves as a Marine. A nuanced and poetic first-person narrative, Lost Highway is at once the story of a brilliant musician’s struggle for self-respect and artistic integrity, and a textured portrait of an American family – a father’s sincere yet complex love for his son, a combat veteran’s endurance and dignity, and a redeeming love affair that crosses half a century. WV Actor and Producer, Ross Ballard’s portrayal of the story’s winding road and compelling dialogue prove once again he is a master of emotion, regional dialect and the age old art of fine storytelling. While many rich voices and subtle music pieces fill this 5 CD set, it is Sapper who is brought to life to tell us of the vastness of life’s unpredictable venues and life altering moments. For the first time in audiobook production, a story’s fictional song (“Miranda”) comes to life while additional award winning bluegrass music fills the dramatic scenes. Nearly a year in big budget production, Lost Highway has bluegrass blockbuster written all over it.

This study explores the social, economic and technical opportunities and constraints to delivering new health and care services to residents in their own homes through the use of Information and Communication Technology (referred to here as 'telecare').  Trials in the UK, USA, Japan and mainland Europe are demonstrating the possibilities of delivering new services via video telephones and digital television sets directly to users in their homes.Telecare is an innovative system for the delivery of health and care services.  Its implementation is resulting in major policy issues cutting across traditional domains of housing, health and social services.  It also raises wide-ranging social concerns over privacy, the possibility of isolation and the ethical use of new technologies.  This new report provides an up-to-date analysis of the multiple and complex issues surrounding the implementation of telecare systems. The key goal of telecare is to facilitate greater independence for users and improve the ability for carers to deliver a wider range of new and existing services.  Based on the analysis of the barriers, risks, challenges and opportunities that telecare presents to care providers, the report is able to present recommendations for policy makers, and professionals, who have an ever increasing interest in using technology as a cost-effective way of improving the quality of life for people wishing to remain living independently in their own homes.Under-researched issues that the authors identify and address include:social: with respect to user needs of telecare services;economic: the likely cost of care provision and savings for the implementation of telecare;technical: the different types of telecare and inhibitors to its future development;policy: actions for policy makers involved in the provision of care services.·[vbTab][vbTab][vbTab]This valuable review of the current literature will be essential reading for care providers and health professionals in the private and voluntary sector as well as housing providers and the academic community.  It is also important reading for policy makers in government, equipment suppliers and manufacturers in industry, housing providers and charities concerned with older people.
