The story of the injured, starved baby whale who learned against instinct to trust the people who worked to save her life

The Whale Who Wouldn't Die: The True Story of "Miracle"

Jeune, Paul

New Century Pub

People to See is an irreverent and revealing portrait of the merchant princes and magnates Marshall Field, William Randolph Hearst, P.K. Wrigley, George Pullman; crime kings Roger Plant, Al Capone, Arnold Rothstein, who fixed the 1919 World Series and "Shoeless Joe" Jackson who played it that way; Richard J. Daley and the long line of his predecessors who insisted Chicago was not ready for reform; the proud pioneers of journalism and literature, Ben Hecht, Carl Sandburg, Nelson Algren, Saul Bellow, Gwendolyn Brooks; and the rich heritage of Chicago sports. This is social history dominated by vivid personalities-regal and raffish characters with a talent for making out, moving up, and having their own way. They lived and often died with old-style flair and flamboyance and Jay Robert Nash presents their stories with exactly the right flavor. All the scattered fragments of the record of these originals have been searched and woven into the fabric of Chicago history. Here are zesty chronicles of those who imposed their wills in pursuit of power, profit, and pleasure int he great inland city that yields only to the bold.

Richard Attenborough was 39 when he first became determined to make a film on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. On the face of it, this successful man on the brink of comfortable middle age would appear the least likely candidate for an obsession that would bring him to the verge of bankruptcy, make him an object of ridicule, draw him into international diplomacy and arouse a raging controversy amongst a national of some 700 million inhabitants.
