        Details Are Unprintable

        Wayne Lonergan and the Sensational Cafe Society Murder

        by Allan Levine

        The body of 22-year-old New York City socialite Patricia Burton Lonergan was found in her bedroom. Charged with her death was her husband of two years, Wayne Lonergan. Details Are Unprintable is a suspenseful account that builds from the moment the body was discovered in October 1943 to Lonergan’s conviction in April 1944. The case focused on the tantalizing rumor that Lonergan, a 26-year-old cadet and playboy, was a “homosexual,” who killed his wife in a fit of rage when she removed him from her will.   Part fast-paced drama and part social history, this is a chronicle of Lonergan in denial living in an intolerant world, contrasted with the life of his entitled wife.   What truly happened on that tragic night? Should we accept Lonergan’s confession as the jury did? Or was he a victim of physical and mental abuse by the state prosecutors and the police, as he maintained for the rest of his life?

        GOING PARALLEL IN ENGLISH

        by Anastasia G, Chondrakis

        The books PARALLEL 1 & 2 - Going parallel in English are based on a very innovative method of teaching English attempting to explore and implement the neurolinguistic approach to language learning. We, the teachers, do not over-analyse but compose meaningful language communicative patterns based on the linguistic mechanisms that language automatically activates for each of us. The learners speak and write in a natural way, utilizing the linguistic instinct , innate in us feeling encouraged to speak, to participate in oral and written dialogues achieving faster than ever effective communication, while at the same time they boost  their self-confidence. From the very first lessons they can read, listen, write, and speak the English language that no longer sounds "foreign"! The Parallel® method is a unique teaching approach that can successfully lead the adult beginner to level B2 IN LESS THAN A YEAR, in which, according to the Common European Framework of Languages – CEFR - ​​the learners can: - understand the basic ideas of a text or a business/ social meeting - explain clearly what they want and what they think - develop conversations/arguments - provide a clear and written text on a wide range of topics - state clearly their opinion on a current issue and support the pros and cons of an argument. THE METHOD CONSISTS OF TWO STUDENT’S BOOKS AND TWO TEACHER’S BOOKS WITH DETAILED TEACHING GUIDELINES AND KEY TO THE EXERCISES.

For her, it was as if an alien presence was moving her mouth and speaking for her. At the same time, thoughts raced around in her head so fast her mind felt like it was about to dissolve into chaos, and she felt like she was floating in space miles above the earth. When all of this happened, a plastic calmness immediately settled over her face, as it always did when she felt upset, and particularly so when she felt very upset. Jessica was shocked that no one had ever noticed and asked if she was OK.             Nonetheless, she lived with the fear that one day someone would discover who – or what – she really was. She decided that the best way to prevent that was to act as if she really was a needing, wanting person. Without hesitating a second in any situation, Jessica did whatever was expected of her, and in a way that wouldn’t upset anyone and keep her as inconspicuous as possible. Jessica was certain what would happen if her secret ever leaked out.  Strangers would suddenly surround her and, with arms raised and fingers pointed directly at her, shout “Imposter! Imposter! Here’s the imposter!” Before she knew it, she’d find herself in court and quickly found guilty of impersonating a real human being. The next day’s headlines would surely read: SCIENTISTS GATHER TO EXAMINE ALIEN IMPOSTER.           Until Jessica entered therapy as an adult, she had no way of knowing how she had become such a mystery to herself. After a slow start to her therapy, she asked for multiple-hour sessions several days a week in hopes of a breakthrough. Her intuition proved correct. She started to remember experiences from the first weeks of her infancy. During that time, when every minute should have been filled with exciting discoveries about herself and her world, she rarely saw a smiling face, or experienced a soft caress, or heard a tender voice, or felt her body being handled in a gentle way. In many of the events that Jessica remembered, her mother’s inattentive, hurried behavior made her feel that the needing, wanting part of her was “dangerous” and that for her own survival she “had to stay away from it.” In these longer sessions, as Jessica remembered more and more early experiences she also felt more and more like a needing, wanting person. For Dr. Von Glahn, listening to these recollections was just like listening to an infant who could talk describe every psychologically dramatic moment of its life as it was happening. All of those recollections were audio-taped and included in this book in edited form for ease of reading. Today, Jessica is an articulate spokesperson for the emotional well-being of infants
