Lesbians, Crutches, and Suicides: A Soldier's Story
Summary
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to join the military? Grant's book details the difficulties of Basic Training during the largest recruitment rush in history. Suicides were prominent because soldiers were unable to pass the initial PT test that would get them into Basic Training - and what most recruiters won't say is that there's a place known as Reception where all soldiers begin their journey. Many never make it out, some stay for months, trying to pass the PT test. For them, the only way out is to convince the Army that they're too crazy to be a valuable soldier... or suicide. There was also an entire society of LURD's - lesbians until release date that had established firm control and were unafraid of the consequences. In fact, many of them wanted to get caught, even if it meant a dishonorable discharge, because at least that got them out of the Army. Lesbians, Crutches, and Suicides: A Soldier's Story takes a listener into the heart of Basic Training, with personal elements of what the experience of becoming a soldier is like. Grant's perspective is peppered with personal narrative and letters sent home.

Aliens in the Mist
Summary
It was early in the morning on February 20, 1954, and President Eisenhower was anxious. The secret service had shepherded him away from his contrived vacation in Palm Springs, California, for a highly classified meeting at Edwards Air Force Base, and he was now being led down a dark corridor. Already his mind was working on a cover story to feed the press. He decided on a dental emergency. He'd even bring the dentist along to the official fundraising function tomorrow night. He'd say that he lost a tooth cap while eating fried chicken. It was perfect. "They are awaiting your audience, Mr. President," one of his escorts announced. President Eisenhower stepped eagerly into the room, reaching forward to shake hands with his new Alien Ambassador to the United States. He suppressed the urge to laugh maniacally as terms were discussed for the Treaty. Aliens in the Mist: A Literary Journalism Piece explores the experiences of Betty and Barney Hill while offering research on the events regarding the Treaty.
