From my hero, Paul Mavrides, a priceless compendium of all four ANARCHY COMICS from when radicals still lived in the SF bay. Someone should reprint this every ten years! Both an excellent history and an indictment of our obsessively short memories --the stuff people are going back and forth about on social media (and I point out social media because it's with the same bad info and reactivity), the same social justice issues, reported in 1981 in comic form, and nothing's got better! This comic could become a classic document just for how much education time it could save people.… (altro)

Since the founding of the premier grand lodge in 1717 London, books, pamphlets, exposures, and articles have been written about the Freemasons. They have been vilified and praised, and wherever a conspiracy theory is born, there's a Freemason in it somewhere. A whole cottage industry of alternate history began with the publication of HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL in the 1980s, and continues today with Dan Brown's popular novels breaking records. many accounts, much confusion.

Jay Kinney's book, THE MASONIC MYTH, will help cut through the hype. He writes cogently, calmly, and examines the existing evidence to discuss such questions as the origins, rituals, and purposes of Freemasonry, carefully examining the facts and drawing reasonable conclusions. The book may not satisfy a taste for discovering hidden puppet-masters, but will give a well-thought-out and balanced view of just what Freemasonry is in the modern world. I highly recommend this book.… (altro)
