While sportswriters rushed into Major League Baseball locker rooms to talk with players, MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn barred the lone woman from entering along with them. That reporter, twenty-six-year-old Sports Illustrated reporter Melissa Ludtke, charged Kuhn with gender discrimination, and after the lawyers argued Ludtke v. Kuhn in federal court, she won. Her 1978 groundbreaking case affirmed her equal rights, and the judge's order opened the doors for several generations of women to be hired in sports media.

Sem tinta mostra que, dentro da transição de cabelo, cabem outras transições: do receio à aceitação; do preconceito inicial à mudança de visão; da descoberta dos fios brancos à descoberta de si mesma. Isso inclui um olhar aprofundado sobre os padrões de beleza a que as mulheres estão submetidas há séculos, muitas vezes sem se darem conta.

"Lei sa la differenza fra un piccolo e un grande giornale? Il grande giornale è quello che pubblica anche le notizie che dispiacciono. S’intende, la notizia che ci dispiace la si commenta come più ci piace." — Eugenio Torelli Viollier Dalla Napoli borbonica alla Milano post-unitaria, dalla fondazione del "Corriere" alla battaglia per difenderne l’indipendenza, la straordinaria avventura dell’uomo che dopo l’Italia provò a fare gli italiani."Nacqui a Napoli, il 26 marzo 1842.

În volumul de față, după 16 ani de la prima autobiografie, Live, Delia Budeanu, prezentatoare timp de 28 de ani la Televiziunea Română (1970–1998), izbutește în mod alchimic să preschimbe uneltele malefice ale cenzurii de altădată în instrumente lăuntrice benefice ale controlului de sine, ale rigorii estetice și ale detașării de imediatul trăirilor brute. Această ținere în frâu a visceralului îi conferă Deliei Budeanu o paradoxală eliberare din captivitatea confesiunilor proprii, care, transfigurate, devin la rândul lor rampe de lansare în spiritualitate.

Country Editor's Boy picks up where Hal Borland's classic memoir High, Wide and Lonesome left off: with Borland, on the cusp of adulthood in the early twentieth century, making his way in an eastern Colorado town that still retained all the flavors of the Old West. Borland's father, the editor of a local weekly newspaper, was working to help his publication transition along with the town around him. At the same time, young Hal was experiencing dramatic social and economic change in his own way.

In this memoir of a lost America, Hal Borland tells the story of his family's migration to eastern Colorado as homesteaders at the turn of the twentieth century. On an unsettled and unwelcoming prairie landscape, the Borlands build a house, plant crops, and eke out a meager existence. While life is difficult—and self-reliance is necessary with no neighbors for miles—the experience brings the family close and binds them closer to the terrible and beautiful natural patterns that govern their lives.

After a nearly fatal bout of appendicitis, Hal Borland decided to leave the city behind and move with his wife to a farmhouse in rural Connecticut. Their new home on one hundred acres inspired Borland to return to nature. In this masterpiece of American nature writing, he describes such wonders as the peace of a sky full of stars, the breathless beauty of blossoming plants, the way rain swishes as it hits a river, and the invigorating renewal brought by the changing seasons. The delights of nature as Borland observes them seem boundless, and his sense of awe is contagious.

A quasi novant'anni, Corrado Augias è un prezioso testimone del cambiamento. L'Italia di oggi - esclusi gli eterni vizi nazionali - assomiglia poco a quella di ieri. Augias ci racconta l'infanzia passata in Libia al seguito del padre ufficiale della Regia Aeronautica; la guerra e i bombardamenti; l'incubo di una feroce e lugubre occupazione; gli anni in un collegio cattolico, per lui che oggi si confessa ateo.

Vatanperver ve inkılâpçı Yunus Nadi... Bu asrın başlarında, Abdülhamit baskısının en sıkı devrinde, elleri zincire vurularak Midilli'ye sürülen Nadi'nin tek suçu, hürriyete inanmış, hürriyetten bahsetmiş ve bu bahiste ısrar etmiş olmasıydı. 1918 mütarekesinde düşman kuvvetlerinin baskı ve takibine uğramasının sebebi de hürriyet ve istiklal aşkından başka bir şey değildi. Yunus Nadi'nin Atatürk'le teması ve işbirliği bu hatıralarda görüleceği gibi; mütarekenin kara günlerinde İstanbul'da başlamış, İstanbul işgal edilir edilmez de süratle Ankara'ya, Mustafa Kemal'e katılmıştır.

El desastre que conmocionó a Miami y al mundo entero.
