Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - I was voted 'Least Likely to Succeed' by my high school. When my daughters and son heard about this, they were angry. But I explained that this prediction, albeit mean, was what motivated me to disprove my school's expectations. I certainly would not recommend imposing this negative prediction on students to motivate them. I understood that not everyone would use it as a challenge as I did and the impact could be very damaging. Back then, there wasn't as much focus on positive reinforcement and self-esteem. In those times, everyone had to have a very thick skin. Sensitivity could cost you your life, as keeping your emotions in check was critical to coexist with White America as an ADOS (American Descendant of Slavery) in the Jim Crow south. I consider it a badge of honor that not only have I been successful in life both personally and professionally but that I made it against all odds despite being grossly underestimated by my educators. Success is always sweeter for the underdog.

Single Issue Magazine. Zustand: Very Good. Illustrated by Bransom, Paul (illustrator). First Edition. This highly controversial issue featured an article by Milton Mayer entitled "The Case Against The Jew" in which he argued that "The Jews of America are afraid that their number is up. they know that the postwar collapse will remind a bitter and bewildered nation that 'the Jews got us into the war.'" - page 18. The Post subsequently received thousands of complaints, resulting in the magazine announcing that it "deeply regrets the misunderstanding" and that "the Post has never been, is not now and never will be anti-Semitic in belief or expression." (Reference: JTA April 16, 1942). Mayer [1908-1986], was born into a Jewish home and went on to write "They Thought They Were Free - The Germans, 1933-45", which studied the citizens of Hitler's Germany.
