The Critical Angle of Attack
Near Death Experiences (NDEs) emphasize the imprtance of living life with unconditonal love in order to progress spiritually. In his own life the author has seen the importance of going beyond the vindictive "eye for an eye" justice mentioned in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. To grow as a human being, somehow, one must go beyond the "knee-jerk" response to give as good as you have received when hurt by another person. In this regard, the author finds the "trained response" that a pilot must learn in order to cope with a stall instructive.

The Wild Strange Ride Of Hunter S. Thompson: Part I
Hunter S. Thompson leaves Las Vegas and takes America on a trip through the fear of midnight on the trail of the American dream. Part humor mixed with his own unique blend of satire, his writings convey a sense of wisdom describing the realism of societal and political observations of his day. Thompson still exemplifies the conflict existing inside the mind of a writer, as he deals with the boundaries between the reality of craft, the imagery of the myth of a writer living in the framework of society, and the reality of a man who can never live up to a legend once such status has been achieved.
