The Moment of Truth: Guru/Gang Starr Life & Death Story by Solar At last the whole story is ready to be told... Boston born as Keith Elam, Guru-Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal-and his talents made him into an acclaimed rapper and producer, named by The Source as #30 of Top 50 Lyricists of All Time just for a start. He was an innovative pioneer in Hip-Hop jazz and a chart ruler during the late 1980's & 90's. Respected for both the work he accomplished as the founder of Gang Starr, and also his own critically successful solo projects like the Jazzmatazz Volumes, he was by all rights a star in the game. His lyrical gift spoke to an entire hip-hop generation, that would have heard even greater music from him had the worst of disasters not hit. Once he was a sick man, he found himself vilified in the media and eventually unable to speak at all. At the center of this story is his producer, longtime friend, and business partner Solar who has finally come with his full version of the mysterious events surrounding Guru's final years and during his split with DJ Premier. It's been over seven years since that time and the effects of it still linger. Rumors of everything from his sexuality to his mental state in his final days all hang around any Google search about Guru's life and death. Solar is ready to clear both their names and free Guru's true legacy for his fans. Behind Guru's life, unfinished questions hang that sound like the background of a thriller. From mysterious murders around the Gang Starr camp, a seat-of-the-pants gun trial to police investigations and murder attempts on his own life. Not to mention the heated and very public war of words between Guru's family and Solar, who was appointed a medical proxy for the ailing rapper. This book airs Solar's controversial position in a life story about to have its final moment of truth.

When attorney Jack Newlin discovers his wife dead in their home, he's convinced he knows who killed her—and is equally determined to hide the truth. He decides to frame himself for murder, and to seal his fate he hires the most inexperienced lawyer he can find: a reluctant rookie by the name of Mary DiNunzio from the hot Philadelphia firm of Rosato & Associates. But hiring Mary may turn out to be his biggest mistake. She doubts Jack's confession, and her ethics and instincts tell her she can't defend a man who wants to convict himself. Smarter, gutsier, and more persistent than she has any right to be, Mary sets out to prove what really happened—because, as any lawyer knows, a case is never as simple as it seems. And nothing is ever certain until the final moment of truth.

Inspired by true events, The Moment of Truth finds a Texan art student facing down life, death, love, and glory in the bullfighting rings of 1950s Mexico. Texan art student Kathleen Boyd has been dreaming about becoming a matador since her beloved father took her to the bullfighting ring when she was just a child. Now a young woman, her disapproving fiancé and her practical-minded mother see her dream only as a foolish flight of fancy. Nevertheless, Kathleen relocates to Mexico and finds herself under the instruction of Fermin, a retired matador who is intent on asserting his dominance in their partnership. Though taking on a female apprentice is unheard of, Fermin sees Kathleen’s undeniable talent and promises that she’ll one day perform at the prestigious Plaza Mexico bullring. While Kathleen struggles to perform alongside the unwelcoming men of Mexico’s bullfighting scene, she is befriended by Julio, better known as El Cabrito—The Kid. Much to Fermin’s displeasure, not only does Julio show Kathleen techniques that defy his strict instruction, but a forbidden romance quickly ignites between them. As time passes, Kathleen’s confidence in her ability increases—though so too do her suspicions of Fermin’s intentions. She has become a sensation, selling out arenas as La Diosa Tejana, the Texan Goddess. But while Fermin gets rich, Kathleen’s pay remains pitiful and her instructor’s control over her life remains absolute. Will she always be a vehicle for another person’s success? Or will she finally face her own moment of truth and seize the success that she has worked toward for so long, in a world that has always belonged to men?

Michael Eigen is widely regarded as a significant and increasingly influential figure in contemporary psychoanalysis. This collection of papers, by contributors in the USA, Israel, Australia and South Africa, reveal how his works yield creative and generative possibilities with profound clinical and cultural implications. Writers include well-known authors such as Mark Epstein, Anthony Molino and Brent Potter. The papers are divided into three sections: Reflections (psychoanalytic and philosophical concerns, such as Heidegger, the Hindu Goddess Kali, Buddhism, the sense of Time); Refractions (clinical implications, papers on murder and aliveness, the nature of the analytic interaction, addiction and work with the mother-infant relationship), and Responses (personal impacts of his works, as well as poetry and the thoughts of a creative writer on Eigen's oeuvre). There are also papers on the experience of supervision with Michael Eigen as well as on his weekly seminars on Bion, Winnicott and Lacan, ongoing for more than forty years, in New York.

We spend a great deal of time in life wondering what is going on in various situations. Sometimes we are misled by people who have an agenda, other times by people who have the wrong impression, and other times by situations involving subtle realities that intertwine in confusing ways. Having gotten two degrees in engineering and applied them in industry as an analyst, the author long ago came to regard the provable truth to be something breathtakingly beautiful. In this regard, the author has also been left with the impression that there are many good, intelligent people wandering around with marching orders, saying, "Believe this or that!" but the results of this belief seem incongruous with reality. And so it seemed that there was a need for a well-versed reference source to better explain reality. The author didn't realize what service was being provided by his poetry until long after the first poem had been written. The fact that the title referred to a verse and that poetry contains verses serves as a pun in the title. Not all poems in this work refer to the same subjects. Many things we encounter in life can be confusing, including love, patriotism, politics, the feminine mystique, modern business, spin doctors (whom the author is none too fond of), advertisers, and pets, to name a few. It will not be claimed that the interpretations of what is happening are infallible. But the author did get more than a few happy a has at the end of various poems and hopes that the reader will respond with similar pleasure.
