Love Comes When You Least Expect It
Summary
This is a story about God, guilt, love, lust and faith... lost... and then found again. It's about a woman and two pilots, one of whom cheated on his wife. It asks some interesting questions: "Is the other woman always a tramp?" and "Can I still be a decent person after I cheated on someone who trusted me?" The story is told by one of America's most familiar radio and TV voices, Dick Summer. In fact, it started with an actual on-air confession by one of the people in the story on Dick's NBC radio program.

Lovin Touch
Summary
The Lovin' Touch stories were first told on Dick Summer's late night radio shows in New York and Boston, and later published as poetry books. The success of the books inspired a line of jewelry, a series of greeting cards, and from what we've been told, quite a few highly romantic evenings by hundreds of thousands of listeners and readers. A more accurate description of the Lovin' Touch stories would be that they are the gentle ravings of a man who was suddenly shocked to find himself in love. Some of you may have heard some of these stories years ago. If so, you may be pleased to know that Dick is still shocked, still raving, and still in love with the same woman. Lovin' Touch is about that woman.

The Cluetrain Manifesto
Summary
What if the real power of the Web lay not in the technology behind it, but in the profound changes it brings to the way people interact with business? And what if these changes were altering the nature of your company as profoundly as they have changed your markets? With language as sharp and compelling as the observations, www.cluetrain.com burst unexpectedly onto the scene with 95 Theses to ignite a vibrant and viral conversation making hash of corporate assumptions about the nature of online business. Provocative, outrageous, and wickedly smart, the manifesto has challenged executives from Global 1000 companies to sign-on or risk missing a genuine revolution. Expanding on ideas and insights first nailed up on the Web, The Cluetrain Manifesto both signals and explores a sea change already nearing flood tide in today's wired world. Through the Internet, people are discovering new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a result, markets are getting smarter faster than most companies. Whether management understands it or not, networked employees are an integral part of these borderless conversations. Today, customers and employees are communicating with each other in language that is natural, open, direct, and often funny. Companies that aren't listening to these exchanges are missing a dire warning. Companies that aren't engaging in them are missing an unprecedented opportunity. A rich tapestry of anecdotes, object lessons, parodies, insights, and predictions, The Cluetrain Manifesto illustrates how the Internet has radically reframed the "immutable laws" of business - and what business needs to know to weather the seismic aftershocks.
