The Media Elite
1986 book by Samuel Robert Lichter, Stanley Rothman, and Linda Lichter
The Media Elite: America's New Powerbrokers is a non-fiction book written by Samuel Robert Lichter, Stanley Rothman, and Linda Lichter, published in 1986. It details a social scientific study of the ideological commitments of 'elite' journalists in the United States, and the consequences of those commitments on both the reporting itself and on its reception by the public. The book states that because of the political opinions of journalists, the elite media has a liberal media bias. One of the stated aims of the books is to comprehend social changes in elite rule in the USA in continuation to the famous study of C W Mills, titled The Power Elites. The book progresses from the idea that few people of similar social backgrounds and family ties hold the command positions or key positions in the power structure. The Power Elites control top positions in the corporate, federal government, and military organisations. The Media Elite are emerging due to the expansion of national media networks and they are challenging the traditional elites of the American society. Research methodology. The book presents findings from a survey conducted in 1980, involving 238 journalists selected randomly from prominent news organizations in the United States. These organizations include ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Time, Newsweek, U.S. News &amp; World Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. The study utilized content analysis and audience reception studies to examine potential discrepancies between the views of journalists and those of the general public.

Mother (short story)
1907 short story by Owen Wister
Mother is a short story by Owen Wister that was written and published originally in an anthology titled "A House Party: An Account of Stories Told at a Gathering of Famous American Authors, the Storytellers Being Introduced by Paul Leicester Ford". Wister republished his short story in book form in 1907, adding approximately 25 percent new material at the beginning in order to adequately introduce the story and replace the frame that was previously supplied by the anthology. Plot summary. The story is about a young couple living in New York who wish to marry, but must wait until their means are sufficient. The groom-to-be luckily inherits a large sum, and intends to invest it wisely in order to live off the income. However, under the influence of an unscrupulous financial advisor, he begins to lose a large portion of his money in dubious investments. His wife-to-be has a more objective view of the situation and offers sound advice. The plot draws its suspense from determining whether the advice given will work in time for the couple to be able to marry. This short story provides considerable insight into the financial and social interconnections predominant among the middle and upper classes in the quarter century that preceded the stock market crash of 1929.

Novel by Meridel Le Sueur
The Girl (1939; 1978) is a novel by Meridel Le Sueur set during Prohibition and chronicling the development of a young woman from a naive small-town girl into a participant in a bank robbery. Plot. It tells the story of a nameless girl from rural Minnesota who works in a bar in St. Paul. Clara, a fellow waitress working as a prostitute on the side, takes the girl under her wing as she learns the rudimentaries of love and sex, but also of rape, prostitution, abortion, and domestic violence. Along with the bar-owner Belle and the labor organizer Amelia, Clara and the girl watch their unemployed men self-destruct one by one under the grinding conditions of the Depression. Impregnated by her lover Butch, the girl secretly defies his demand that she get an abortion, hoping that the money from a bank robbery will enable them to get married. However, Butch and three other men are shot and killed during the crime, and the girl, dependent on state assistance during her pregnancy, is forced into a relief maternity home where sterilization after delivery is routine. Amelia rescues the girl before she has her baby, but fails to save Clara from state-mandated electric shock treatments that shatter her health and her sanity.

Meltdown (Woods book)
Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and the Government Bailout Will Make Things Worse is a book on the global financial crisis of 2007–2008 by historian Thomas Woods, with a foreword by Ron Paul. The book was published on February 9, 2009 by Regnery Publishing. Overview. Woods is a follower of the Austrian School of economics and believes in allowing the market to freely compete in currency, which he believes would lead to mostly gold-based currency. The book is dedicated to Murray Rothbard and Ron Paul. The book debuted at #16 on the "Hardcover, non-fiction" "New York Times" Best Seller list, and advanced to the #11 spot in its second week on the list. According to the author's official website, Meltdown was on the "NYT" Best Seller list for 10 weeks. Woods' thesis maintains that: deflation of prices neither causes nor prolongs depressions; deflation may be necessary to prevent depressions or to bring depressions to an end; the Fed is the primary cause of business cycles via its arbitrary and coercive control of the money supply; and trying to cure these credit cycles with more government intervention will not work. Woods argues that government intervention in the form of support for housing and excessive monetary expansion caused the current crisis. By creating an illusion of wealth (that certain resources exist which do not exist), interventions encourage wasteful investments and unsustainable consumption, instead of productive investments. The proposed cures (bailouts, more money creation, and stimulus spending) will just make matters worse.

Question: Who is the author of Meltdown?
Answer: Thomas Woods
Vast (novel)
1998 novel by Linda Nagata
Vast is a science fiction novel by Linda Nagata, part of her loosely connected "Nanotech Succession" sequence. Background. The main characters of "Vast" are the crew and passengers of the "Null Boundary", who are fleeing from the alien Chenzeme. The Chenzeme, using the "cult virus" and other, more conventional, weapons have destroyed much of human-occupied space, leaving the inhabitants of the "Null Boundary" to attempt to discover why. While "Vast" is a standalone novel, there are links to "The Bohr Maker", "Tech-Heaven" and "Deception Well", primarily in the form of two shared technological innovations: advanced nanotechnology and "ghosts", a name given to electronically preserved human memories and personalities. Literary significance and reception. "SF Site" gave the novel a positive review, commenting on the balance between the relatively straightforward plotline and the complex character interaction. John Clute, in "The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction", described the "Deception Well" sub-sequence (comprising "Deception Well" and "Vast") as "an immensely complex tale," drawing comparisons with the work of Olaf Stapledon and Larry Niven. Alastair Reynolds described "Vast" as "one of the most enjoyable SF books I've read in the last 12 years" and noted its influence on his own novels, particularly "Redemption Ark" and "House of Suns".

Landscape (play)
Landscape is a one-act play by Harold Pinter that was first broadcast on radio in 1968 and first performed on stage in 1969. The play shows the difficulties of communication between two people in a marriage. This is illustrated through the two characters who appear to be talking to one another though neither seems to hear the other. The dialogue resembles two independent monologues. The play is often studied, read, and performed alongside "Silence", another one-act play published soon after "Landscape". Both plays mark a change in Pinter's style, with echoes of the work of Samuel Beckett. In both plays nothing happens, the action of the plays is brought to a halt putting an added emphasis on the role of the dialogues and monologues that take place. As one critic put it "nothing happens but much is explored". Setting. The play is set in the kitchen of a country house. The design is minimalist in nature, consisting of a few kitchen appliances and a long kitchen table. Beth sits in an armchair to the left of the table, and Duff in a chair at the opposite end. Plot. There is virtually no plot to the play. The focus is on the interaction, or lack of it, between the two characters. The text requires that "Duff refers normally to Beth but does not appear to hear her voice" and "Beth never looks at Duff and does not appear to hear his voice. Both characters are relaxed, in no sense rigid." What plot there is exists only in the stories told by the characters.

Question: Who is the author of Landscape?
Answer: Harold Pinter
The Information (novel)
Novel by Martin Amis
The Information is a 1995 novel by British writer Martin Amis. The plot involves two forty-year-old novelists, Gwyn Barry (successful) and Richard Tull (not so). Amis has asserted that "both" characters are based (if they can be regarded as based on anybody) on himself. It is, says Amis, a book about "literary enmity". Synopsis. Gwyn Barry and Richard Tull have been friends since they roomed together at university. Richard Tull was a promising writer with a seemingly bright future. His first novel, 'Aforethought', was published, but 'nobody understood it, or even finished it.' Three years later, his second novel, 'Dreams Don't Mean Anything' was published in Britain but not America. His third, fourth and all subsequent novels were not published. His career flags and he finds himself becoming depressed, writing book reviews, articles for a small literary magazine and sub-editing for a vanity press. To his chagrin, Gwyn Barry—whose literary skills Tull holds in low esteem—has written a phenomenally successful second novel, entitled 'Amelior' (about a rural utopia) and is in the running to win a lucrative and respected literary prize. Barry enjoys a rarified life, with his agent striking lucrative deals for 'Amelior Regained' whilst Tull toils away with his unsuccessful pursuits. Tull, increasingly envious, begins to manufacture ways of bringing Barry down. These begin relatively innocently as attempts to cause Barry inconvenience.

Question: Who is the author of The Information?
Answer: Martin Amis, Martin Louis Amis
