JAMES J. KAUFMAN'S TOME 'THE COLLECTIBLES'

Image
**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER  By G. H. HARDING **** The Collectibles THE COLLECTIBLES --- Attorney and former judge James J. Kaufman next month (September) releases his new book The Collectibles (book two of a trilogy); and, it’s a fascinating, cross-generational novel based on one family; two strong men from separate worlds – one touch by tragedy, the other touched by greed, who re-unite in an unexpected way.  Kaufman’s writing is immediately dramatic and thought-provoking. It’s one of the best reads we've yet experienced. Kauffman’s a proponent of building relationships and trust through storytelling and what with the recent exploits of people like Anthony Weiner, Eliot Spitzer and San Diego Mayor Bob Filner … we should applaud his methods.  The 74-year old is also Chairman of the Board of Imaging the World which is changing global medicine through a revolutionary concept integrating technology, training and community to bring m...

Bill Clinton Bill Clinton yesterday demanded that ABC pull it's 9/11 film due to air tonight. The letter accused the network of exploiting the terror bombing. Clinton's letter comes from revelations that the Toronto set of the fictionalized movie was plagued by the actors concerns that the flick was playing fast and loose with the truth. The letter was sent to ABC's Bob Iger.A spokesman for Clinton, urged ABC to "Do the right thing for the country and pull this despicable work of fiction from the air".Oscar winner Harvey Keitel who is playing FBI Director John O'Neill who died in the bombing, was quoted on CNN as saying, " It turned out that not all the facts were not correct," which led to arguments. Keitel even went as far as to put his own researcher on the story looking to correct historical, character and other inaccuracies he found in the script. The Path To 9/11 airs tonight.
