Watergate Burglars: Nixon, Dirty Tricks, and the CIA

Fifty years after Watergate-a scandal that rocked the nation-filmmaker and researcher Shane O'Sullivan debunks the myths around Watergate in this chilling story of political espionage and deception. The victory of Richard Nixon in the US presidential election of 1968 swung on an "October Surprise"-a treasonous plot engineered by key figures in the Republican Party to keep the South Vietnamese government away from peace talks in Paris, costing thousands of American lives. There is growing evidence that the CIA was deeply involved in illegal domestic operations targeting Daniel Ellsberg, and in the Watergate break-ins during Nixon's 1972 campaign, which ultimately led to his downfall. CIA Director Richard Helms' relationship with Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt was much closer than previously disclosed and the CIA agent inside the plot was sent on a double agent mission by American intelligence after he got out of prison. Drawing on newly-declassified files and previously-unpublished documents, The Watergate Burglars (previously published as Dirty Tricks) debunks the myths around Watergate and deepens our understanding of the "dirty tricks" that undermined democracy during the Nixon years and destroyed public trust in politics during the seventies. These scandals turn on the covert action of two powerful interest groups-the senior CIA officers around Helms, and the key advisers around Nixon-in this chilling story of political espionage and deception. Now available for the first time in paperback just in time for the fiftieth anniversary of Watergate, author and filmmaker Shane O'Sullivan includes a wealth of new material, including Burglar James McCord's final testament to his family about his role in the break-in, new revelations from whistleblower Alfred Baldwin, and new interviews with FBI case agent Angelo Lano and the police officer who first identified McCord after his arrest and debriefed him in jail.

Hard to Break

Hard to Break offers a clear-eyed tour of what neuroscience tells us about habit change and debunks "easy fixes? that aren't backed by science. It explains how dopamine is essential for building habits and how the battle between habits and intentional goal-directed behaviors reflects a competition between different brain systems. Along the way, we learn how cues trigger habits; why we should make rules, not decisions; how the stimuli of the modern world hijack the brain's habit machinery and lead to drug abuse and other addictions; and how neuroscience may one day enable us to hack our habits. Shifting from the individual to society, the book also discusses the massive habit changes that will be needed to address the biggest challenges of our time.

If you listen to any political argument, you're eventually bound to hear something like: "The science is settled on this." Or: "Just look at the statistics!" Or: "There have been studies that say..." You'd think we were living in the golden age of science and reason. But the truth is far more sinister, says Austin Ruse. We're actually living in the age of the low information voter, easily misled by all-too-convincing false statistics and studies.

The Shareholder Value Myth: How Putting Shareholders First Harms Investors, Corporations, and the Public , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 226min

Executives, investors, and the business press routinely chant the mantra that corporations are required to "maximize shareholder value." In this path-breaking book, renowned corporate expert Lynn Stout debunks the myth that corporate law mandates shareholder primacy. Stout shows how shareholder value thinking endangers not only investors but the rest of us as well. It leads managers to focus myopically on short-term earnings; discourages investment and innovation; harms employees, customers, and communities; and causes companies to indulge in reckless, sociopathic, and irresponsible behaviors. Additionally, Stout looks at new models of corporate purpose that better serve the needs of investors, corporations, and society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elaine Kellner.
