Plenty of liberal scholars and pundits have criticized the deception of the American people, but Michael Moore's work offers a distinctly positive perspective. He argues that Republican lawmakers and their wealthy corporate allies have manipulated the public using fabricated threats and lies to maintain their power and wealth. Moore expresses his anger towards George W. Bush and conservatives regarding the Iraq war, the Enron collapse, and the connections between the Bush family, the Saudi government, and Osama bin Laden. His book aims to empower those with liberal views—whom he believes comprise the majority of Americans—to reclaim their country from conservative control. With his signature confrontational humor, Moore provides insights on how to engage with conservative relatives and even proposes a "Draft Oprah for President" movement. Notably, he acknowledges some areas where Republicans are correct and critiques his fellow liberals, suggesting a desire for a more nuanced political discourse. While the book covers a wide range of topics, including Iraq, tax cuts, and the Patriot Act, its scattered nature and comedic tone occasionally detract from clarity. Nevertheless, this variety showcases Moore's bewildered yet resiliently optimistic viewpoints.

A young woman probing into the mysterious circumstances of her husband's death receives a message from a medium claiming to be his channel in Mary Higgins Clark's #1 bestselling thriller, Before I Say Goodbye. When Nell MacDermott learns that her husband, architect Adam Cauliff, and three of his business associates have died in an explosion of his new cabin cruiser, she is not only devastated but wracked with guilt. The last time she saw Adam, they had a bitter quarrel over her plan to run for the congressional seat long held by her grandfather; she had told him not to come home. As the investigation into the boat's explosion proceeds, Nell learns that it was not an accident but a bomb. Despite her skepticism, Nell is swayed by her great-aunt Gert, a believer in psychic powers, to see a medium claiming to be Adam's channel. While trying to unravel the threads of Adam's past and his violent end, Nell consults the medium, who transmits messages to her with instructions from Adam. The story reaches a powerful climax in Nell's final encounter with the medium, in which she learns the truth about the explosion—truth she can't be allowed to live and tell.
