A kind of Mark Twain of the left, people said. The rest of his legendary story will anger, touch, and delight.. With Pete Seeger he formed the popular folksinging group the Weavers, which sang songs of social justice just as a tidal wave of red-hunting hit America.

A bureaucrat with tyrannical tendencies, Stryker drew up lists of books for his photographers to read in order to "understand" America -- cut-and-dried sociology, experts on regional hygiene -- and "shooting scripts" the photographers were supposed to adhere to. I like that the settings are a bit open to interpretation and the routes the PCs must take are really up to the GM.. It is very motivating, addressing not only the diet and exercise portions of a diet, but psychological reasons we hold back from taking care of ourselves. The
