This article presents information on the book "Brown v. Board of Education: A Civil Rights Milestone and Its Troubled Legacy," by James T. Patterson. It is opined that much of the story of Brown v. Board of Education and its aftermath is familiar, of course, and has been told before in books, complete with anecdotes about many of the key figures involved, including the chief counsel of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Thurgood Marshall. These works include Richard Kluger's Simple Justice: The History of Brown v. Board of Education and Black America's Struggle or Equality; Constance Baker Motley's autobiographical Equal Justice Under Law; Jack Greenberg's Crusaders in the courts; and Juan Williams's Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary.

The article focuses on various developments around the world during 2000. First article focuses on the nuclear arms-control in the U.S. The unneeded weapons are the expensive relics of dead conflicts. And they do nothing to make U.S. more secure. The proposals of U.S. President George W. Bush contains big flaws. The biggest is that he linked missile reduction to the development of an updated version of Ronald Reagan's era "Star Wars" missile defense system. Another article focuses on the U.S. Postal Service. U.S. Postal Service, which has proposed a rate increase that would penalize publications like "Harpers," and "The American Scholar."

This article presents information on the book "Common Ground: A Turbulent Decade in the Lives of Three American Families," by J. Anthony Lukas. It is opined that the above mentioned book is highly readable and vigorously reported that cannot be reduced to a nutshell. If one have had problems identifying with either side in the Boston busing crisis, this book will surprise one with five or six sides and compel the readers to identify with them all. The great strength of the book is its use of multiple viewpoints, its ability to apply the methods of modern literature to ones understanding of political events.

This article presents information on the book "The War Diaries of Jean-Paul Sartre: November 1939-March 1940." The above mentioned book is translated by Quintin Hoare. It is opined that the above mentioned book is brilliant and is valuable for anyone who is vaguely interested in the chief exponent of postwar existentialism. The book was written when Sartre was only 34 years of age and the diaries provide the most human portrait of Sartre the man. However, the diaries represent only a fragment of what Sartre wrote each day from September 1939 to March 1940. Of the fourteen notebooks he filled during that period, only the five that make up the book in question has been found. The loss of the remaining nine is staggering considering the treasures available in this book.

In 1878, only 400 years after Oxford University first put its imprint on books, the United States joined the university press ranks. Johns Hopkins, the first American university to model itself on the German research institutions, made it a priority to have a press in order to provide a vehicle for the publications of its graduate faculty. Before the turn of the century, Chicago, California and Columbia initiated their own presses, to be joined just after the century mark by Princeton, Yale and Harvard Universities. These remain the seven largest U.S. university presses, the only ones with revenues in excess of $9 million per year. At present, the university roster stands at approximately one hundred presses and counting. And after a terrible financial year, most of them, large and small, believe that they are, or may soon be, or at least that almost everyone else is, in serious trouble.

This article presents information related to various books and publications. The title of the book "The Curse of the Romanovs," by A.S. Rappoport, hardly suggests serious history, and yet the book is intended to be serious, as the reader sees when he has got far enough along, and has learned what to overlook. The demand within a year for a second edition of Mary Whiton Calkins's admirable book "The Persistent Problems of Philosophy" is a merited recognition of its serviceableness to students and teachers of philosophy.

The article presents information on latest publications as of December 22, 1904. The book "The Country Home," by E.P. Powell, is full of practical suggestions drawn from a long and successful experience in horticulture.

Bishop has revised a trio of articles contributed by him several years ago the Century Magazine and has made a book of them with the title, "Our Political Drama: Conventions, Campaigns, Candidates."

Arthur J. Burdick's "The Mystic Mid-Region: The Deserts of the Southwest," (G.P. Putnam's Sons), even without the very readable text, is captivating through its beautiful illustrations alone.

This article presents information on the literary works. Holt & Williams have made arrangements to republish "Fortnightly Review." The London Society of Biblical Archeology listened, on December 2, to a paper by George Smith on certain, fragmentary stone tablets from Nineveh preserved in the British Museum, dating from the reign of Assurhanipal, King of Assyria, B.C. 668.

The article provides information about prominent articles published in various trade and academic journals. The "Atlantic" is true to the recently established American custom, a custom that seems not to be everywhere rooting itself vigorously and gives many very well known and some distinguished names. "What to Do With the Surplus" is a paper which will no doubt do much good, for it is written in such a way that it will attract perusal, and that no one however unfamiliar with finance can fail to understand its author's meaning. "The Woman Thou gavest With Me," by Henry James, will be to many persons agreeable reading. For one thing, it proves that both parties to the woman's rights dispute are all wrong, or nearly so.

The article focuses on the monthly publication of all the magazines for the month of November. Lippineott's "Vicar of Bullhampton" comes very near being an exception to the remark just made, that none of the magazines is without some good thing besides its regular allowance of novel. He says that the master of a certain ragged school in London has to let the children out in time to pick the pockets of the people leaving church, or else he would at once lose all his pupils.

This article provides information on several periodicals. If anything were wanting to show that we have hardly any magazines which exclusively devote themselves to addressing the best class of readers, the efforts which the publishers make to get out an exceptionally good number at the beginning of the year would alone be enough to show it. The publisher Lippincott's new story, "Beyond the Breakers," begins in Philadelphia with a trial scene-with which, by the way, the Philadelphians find some fault for inaccuracy in its details-and then proceeds to the West, a field as yet for the most part untrodden by any story-tellers except such as went there for Indians and animals. The journal "Hours at Home," has a noticeable article by professor B.P. Evans on "Babisin," a subject which has, people think, never but once before been treated in any American periodical, people may refer the readers to an article on the same subject in No. 59 of this journal, from which may be got a rather clearer idea of the religious tenets of the sect than Evans here furnishes.

The Photo-zincographic process, by which photographic copies of any description are susceptible of being printed from like engraved plates, is now being applied very extensively in England for the popularization of records, autographs, etc., where actual identity, and not merely resemblance, between the original and the duplicate is desirable.

Hurd & Houghton, of Broadway, indicate nearly forty separate publications, all intended to appear before Christmas, and many of them, by their character, specially adapted for that season and the offices of kindly beneficence called forth annually by its time-honored associations.
