This review is of Robert Allyn Goldman's book "The Slammer: A Critique of Prison Overpopulation, a menacing
flaw in American culture," an authoritative exposition of the deplorable plight of prisons in the USA today. The author writes out of his own
experiences while serving as a dentist in some of America's "maximum-security" prisons (i.e. prisons holding the most dangerous criminals).
Julie is a gifted musician. I found her rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" exceptional.
She has also sung covers of songs by The Beatles, John Denver, Chordettes, Billy Joel, etc., apart from Simon & Garfunkel hits.
On the 'BOOKS' page, you'll find my review of The Point After
by Sean Conley National Football League (NFL) fame.
If you remember, in the 1990s he played kicker for NFL teams: the Detroit Lions, the Indianapolis Colts,
the New York Jets, and the Scottish Claymores of Europe.
A short, three years after entering the NFL, Sean's career was cut short by bodily injury—forever!
This is his inspiring memoir that tells us how he survived the loss of NFL and made a great comeback in
life by sheer perseverance, grit, and resilience.
