books by The New York Times     books:       Last Letters Home2 reviews CDs Books, 2004 Astonishing, meaningful, heart-wrenching When I was a student of political science, I had a professor who read to us letters home from the war front. He had a collection of pieces from lots of different countries, but messages were remarkably the same - human beings caught up in situations and conflict far beyond their making and often beyond our comprehension, not writing for king and country, but writing of home, writing to home. ...             The New York Times Best Diagramless Crosswords, Volume 2: Volume 2 (NY Times)2 reviews New York Times Random House Puzzles & Games, 1996 These diagramless Crossword Puzzles are fun!

Abrams, Inc.", 2006 Chunky Big Apple A thick, 744 page book presenting the flavor of the world's premier city.

A very SHORT read but worth it.             Israel: The Historical Atlas?The Story of Israel?From Ancient Times to the Modern Nation1 review The New York Times Wiley, 1997 Wonderful and comprehensive.
