  • Politics of Eastern and Central Europe, and Restructured the Rela- Tionship Between Europe and the United States
    POPULAR CULTURE STATISTICS JAMES MADISON THE FLUORIDATION WARS Periodicals t Books WILSON QUARTERLY 0 Bv William R. Corson and ~bbertT. Crowley This heavily documented expose provides a fresh way of look- ing at the current operations and global strategies of the new KGB. It is the first time that professional American intelligence agents have publicly analyzed sixty-eight years of Soviet intelligence background, and linked this background to current operations against America and other Western nations. Their devastating conclusion is that the KGB has forsaken its traditional role as the "sword and shield of the party" to actively become master of the Soviet Communist party and the dominant force in the govern- ment of the USSR. "The unusual pleasure one has in reading this formidably detailed study is experiencing the (authors') thoroughness, determination and clarity of vision."-Andrew Boyle, author of The Fourth Man and Malcolm Muggeridge, author of The Eternal Grove. 480 pages 16 pages of b&w photos $18.95 0 Bv Keith Eubank J In November 1943, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin met together in Teheran for the first wartime summit conference. It was here, and not at the notorious Yalta conference two years later, that the bargains were made that shaped the outcome of World War 11, ordained the rearrangement of the politics of Eastern and Central Europe, and restructured the rela- tionship between Europe and the United States. Summit at Teheran is the first complete story of that historic meeting. It tells how the conference came about, and recounts the bitter arguments and secret deliberations that would change the course of history.

  • Japanese Animation Guide: the History of Robot Anime by Japan's
    Commissioned by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs Manga, Animation, Games, and Media Art Information Bureau Japanese Animation Guide: The History of Robot Anime Compiled by Mori Building Co., Ltd. 2013 Addition to the Release of this Report This report on robot anime was prepared based on information available through 2012, and at that time, with the exception of a handful of long-running series (Gundam, Macross, Evangelion, etc.) and some kiddie fare, no original new robot anime shows debuted at all. But as of today that situation has changed, and so I feel the need to add two points to this document. At the start of the anime season in April of 2013, three all-new robot anime series debuted. These were Production I.G.'s “Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet," Sunrise's “Valvrave the Liberator," and Dogakobo and Orange's “Majestic Prince of the Galactic Fleet." Each was broadcast in a late-night timeslot and succeeded in building fanbases. The second new development is the debut of the director Guillermo Del Toro's film “Pacific Rim," which was released in Japan on August 9, 2013. The plot involves humanity using giant robots controlled by human pilots to defend Earth’s cities from gigantic “kaiju.” At the end of the credits, the director dedicates the film to the memory of “monster masters” Ishiro Honda (who oversaw many of the “Godzilla” films) and Ray Harryhausen (who pioneered stop-motion animation techniques.) The film clearly took a great deal of inspiration from Japanese robot anime shows. The separate “Survey and Report on Japanese Tokusatsu,” which was prepared in parallel with this report, explained the deep connection between “monster-versus-hero" (tokusatsu) productions and robot anime shows.
