Nights of Ice: True Stories of Disaster and Survival on Alaska's High Seas by Spike Walker, ISBN 0312199937
Collected for the first time in Nights of Ice, these eight true stories recount the harrowing ordeals of those who haul fish aboard Alaskan fishing vessels. As workers in one of the world's most dangerous - and lucrative - professions, the crewmen in Nights of Ice face a constant onslaught of roaring waves, stories-high swells, and life-stealing ice. Within seconds, a vessel such as the forty-ton Tidings can fill with icy water and slip into the depths, hurling crewmen into the freezing ocean and entombing the skipper inside its sinking hull. A ship like the Mia Dawn can run aground on a piece of submerged rock and immediately ice over, sinking steadily as her crew, battered by hypothermia and ninety-mph winds, assembles a life raft to await helicopter rescue by the U.S. Coast Guard. Tested by the elements, ravaged by their own emotions, the seamen in these extraordinary stories battle both fear and the violent unpredictability of nature. As Spike Walker's deft narration reveals, they do so with courage, instinct, and an unrelenting will to survive.

Selling Catholicism: Bishop Sheen and the Power of Television by Christopher Lynch, ISBN 0813120675
When the popularity of Milton Berle's groundbreaking television show began to slip, he quipped, "At least I'm losing my ratings to God!"
He was referring to the popularity of Life Is Worth Living and its host, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. On the air from 1952 to 1957, Sheen offered a reassuring vision of Catholicism as patriotic and traditional -- in short, a vision of mainstream, postwar America.
Sheen provided his viewers with a sense of stability by sentimentalizing the medieval world and holding it out as a model for contemporary society. Offering clear-cut boundaries that could eliminate anxiety in the midst of sweeping cultural change, he discussed topics ranging from the role of women to fears of communism. Sheen's ability to speak to both Protestant and Catholic audiences is reflected today in our longing for the 1950s, the last golden era when everyone "knew" right from wrong.
