 | Christmas in New York by Daniel Pool
In Christmas in New York, Daniel Pool takes the reader on a tour of present-day New York Christmas attractions (the Rockefeller Center tree, Fifth Avenue holiday windows, the shows, the sidewalk Santas...). He also tells little-known stories about Christmas in New York (how Maurice Sendak decades ago worked on F.A.O. Schwarz window displays; why - via Guy Lombardo - Auld Lang Syne became the official New Year's song; and the history of that venerable Manhattanite, Santa). And, finally, there is a section on The Ghosts of Christmas Past - New York Christmas traditions of years ago. A marvelous mingling of the now and then, Pool's book conveys the true New York Christmas spirit. AUTHOR: Daniel Pool

 | The Republic
In Plato?s Republic , his most celebrated dialogue, the philosopher condemns the justice and morality of Greek society after the trial and execution of his teacher, Socrates. Disillusioned with politics and politicians, Plato argued that civilization demanded truly enlightened government, led by philosopher-kings. He wrote that ...mankind will have no respite from trouble until either real philosophers gain political power or politicians become by some miracle true philosophers.
