Mark Baldassare
When Government Fails: The Orange County Bankruptcy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Orange County,` writes Mark Baldassare, `is a place that is widely known but largely misunderstood.` That`s especially true of the bankruptcy proceedings the California county was forced to initiate in late 1994 after risky investments led to a $1.64 billion dollar loss. Baldassare`s close analysis of the situation reveals that the crisis cannot, as popularly imagined, be blamed solely on the actions of unchecked financial management. Although the county treasurer`s investment strategy was `an accident waiting to happen,` Baldassare points to a two-decade trend of voter initiatives to simultaneously minimize tax increases and control the allocation of state tax funds, along with Orange County`s political fragmentation, as contributing factors. He also points out that, contrary to its reputation as a stronghold of wealthy conservatives, the county is primarily made up of middle-class suburbanites of moderate political temperament. In other words, Orange County is a lot like the rest… [detailed...]

Description: In the newest from veteran romance novelist Kurland ( Star of the Morning ), Manhattan concert violinist Jennifer McKinnon fears that she will never find a decent man—a tough enough prospect even without the `otherworldly things` in her family tree. Namely, her mother`s side of the family has a history of marrying people from outside their own time period, and her ghostly relatives have conspired to get Jennifer married off to the perfect knight: Nicholas de Piaget, of the 13th century. After Jennifer is hurled back into his world by means of a time gate, she falls instantly in love with the handsome knight. Though the feeling is mutual, Nicholas is tormented by her desperation to find a way back to the future. Though the setup is promising, Kurland fails to deliver any meaningful conflict. The leads never seem to be in any real danger of losing each other, as nearly every character works to get them together and keep them that way. Moreover, the exceedingly chaste romance—with… [detailed...]
