Download or read book When I Stop Talking You ll Know I m Dead written by Jerry Weintraub and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2010-04-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the story of Jerry Weintraub: the self-made, Brooklyn-born, Bronx-raised impresario, Hollywood producer, legendary deal maker, and friend of politicians and stars. No matter where nature has placed him--the club rooms of Brooklyn, the Mafia dives of New York's Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, or the hills of Hollywood--he has found a way to put on a show and sell tickets at the door. "All life was a theater and I wanted to put it up on a stage," he writes. "I wanted to set the world under a marquee that read: 'Jerry Weintraub Presents.'" In When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead, we follow Weintraub from his first great success at age twenty-six with Elvis Presley, whom he took on the road with the help of Colonel Tom Parker; to the immortal days with Sinatra and Rat Pack glory; to his crowning hits as a movie producer, starting with Robert Altman and Nashville, continuing with Oh, God!, The Karate Kid movies, and Diner, among others, and summiting with Steven Soderbergh and Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen. Along the way, we'll watch as Jerry moves from the poker tables of Palm Springs (the games went on for days), to the power rooms of Hollywood, to the halls of the White House, to Red Square in Moscow and the Great Palace in Beijing-all the while counseling potentates, poets, and kings, with clients and confidants like George Clooney, Bruce Willis, George H. W. Bush, Armand Hammer, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Bobby Fischer . . .well, the list goes on forever. And of course, the story is not yet over . . .as the old-timers say, "The best is yet to come." As Weintraub says, "When I stop talking, you'll know I'm dead." With wit, wisdom, and the cool confidence that has colored his remarkable career, Jerry chronicles a quintessentially American journey, one marked by luck, love, and improvisation. The stories he tells and the lessons we learn are essential, not just for those who love movies and music, but for businessmen, entrepreneurs, artists . . . everyone.
Download or read book A Place to Land written by Barry Wittenstein and published by Holiday House. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a new generation of activists demands an end to racism, A Place to Land reflects on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech and the movement that it galvanized. Winner of the Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children Selected for the Texas Bluebonnet Master List Much has been written about Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 1963 March on Washington. But there's little on his legendary speech and how he came to write it. Martin Luther King, Jr. was once asked if the hardest part of preaching was knowing where to begin. No, he said. The hardest part is knowing where to end. "It's terrible to be circling up there without a place to land." Finding this place to land was what Martin Luther King, Jr. struggled with, alongside advisors and fellow speech writers, in the Willard Hotel the night before the March on Washington, where he gave his historic "I Have a Dream" speech. But those famous words were never intended to be heard on that day, not even written down for that day, not even once. Barry Wittenstein teams up with legendary illustrator Jerry Pinkney to tell the story of how, against all odds, Martin found his place to land.

Download or read book The Ex Hex written by Killian McRae and published by Killian McRae. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 899 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't sleep with demons or priest, and especially not priests who become demons, and especially not demons who happen to be your ex. Everyone knows that love is blind, but even Riona Dade knows it's supposed to be with a mortal. That's true even if you are a witch with the ability to magically slay the scum of Hell. But when you find out your ex-boyfriend was a demon, you should probably take your lesson about falling for the wrong guy. Probably. It's a great theory, anyway. But if there's one thing Riona can do well, it's picking the wrong guy. With the help of Greek Gods, practical joke-loving archangels, and her fellow Pure Souls, Riona faces down challenge after challenge, both to her heart and to her head. Seems the reluctant witch plays a key part in a prophecy, one that has her pitted against the Devil at every turn. The Devil isn't quite what he used to be, though, and by the time Riona is through, neither one of them will be the same again. The Ex Hex includes all five installments of this hilarious paranormal romance series, a rollickingly humorous tale of love, lust, magic, and a demon who loves Zima. This collection contains: The Motion of the Potion (All My Exes Die From Hexes, #1) Once You Go Demon (All My Exes Die From Hexes, #2) Hex Goddess (All My Exes Die From Hexes, #3) When Spell Freezes Over (All My Exes Die From Hexes, #4) Hung by the Fireplace (All My Exes Die From Hexes)
