      Divorcees Corner

      "C'mon in, if you don't have one, you'll get one!

      This is the story of the trials and tribulations of young men in their late twenties-early thirties during the fifties. They had gotten older and graduated from the soft-ball sponsoring local neighborhood saloons to the "new sheriff" in town, Cocktail lounges. These were nothing more than the same old saloons that had been wallpapered and remodeled with dropped ceilings and mirrored walls. Some had been further enhanced with potted plants in the windows and women bartenders. Their social lives were designed around these places. TV was still in it's infancy and the sport bars were not in play as yet. They would stop in almost every night for a couple of beers, make a few bets on games or the ponies for the next day and collect any winnings - (If any) They were also at that point in life where, whether they realized it or not, they were looking for a life partner to fulfill their lives. But for the most part, as the old song goes, "They were looking for love in all the wrong places" One of these places was a cocktail lounge called Divorcees Corner, whose motto was C'mon in if you don't have one, you'll get one. They catered to the older crowd. At that time, women over twenty six-twenty seven were considered "old maids" so they frequented these places along with a collection of divorces and widows.

      The Chicago Precinct Captain

      • 192 pages
      • 7 hours of reading

      This is a story of the attitudes and thoughts of people in politics during the late fi fties and sixties. The explosion of the Black population and their steady migration westward from their historic enclaves on the East Side of Chicago was starting to be felt. The river wards controlled by the Italian "Mafi a" had enough control left for just one last great power surge for the Kennedy Election. Shortly after that election they were neutralized and changed by election irregularity investigations and redistricting and the abovementioned migration. The advent of voting machines throughout Chicagoland also changed the way the old precinct captains could change election results by manipulating paper ballots. The characters depicted in this story are not based on any current or deceased people. Any resemblance is purely coincidental

      The world is full of organizational cynics. Look around. Heck, look in the mirror. We sit in our cubes, adjust our chairs, sharpen our pencils and stare at our computer screens with the sense that we're immersed in dysfunction. We could, we're sure, do a far better job of running things if we were given the chance. But we know we won't get the chance and so sink into doubt, distrust, and pessimism. But it doesn't have to be that way. In THE ORG, authors Ray Fishman and Tim Sullivan take readers through the logic of organizations using basic economic principles as their guide. Examining why organizations exist in the first place, THE ORG explores the tradeoffs that every corporation faces- from how to select members to how to inspire and discipline them-and then looks at the components of the whole structure from cubicle dwellers to CEOs. Using the tools of organizational economics, THE ORG provides readers with a concrete, logical, and practical way of thinking about how organizations ought to work. The insights unearthed in THE ORG may surprise you and may also explain how, with a few tweaks, the dysfunctional nature of today's office may nonetheless provide the ideal structure for getting the job done.
