" The Carlyle Group is a distressing example of the way Washington, DC works. The Iron Triangle gives you an insiders’ perspective on this ‘ creature’ of the Beltway." – Thomas Fitton, President, Judicial Watch, Inc. from The Iron Triangle: Dwight D. Eisenhower, upon leaving the office of president in 1961, warned future generations against the dangers of a " military-industrial complex, " and the " grave implications" of the " conjunction of immense military establishment and a large arms industry." The wisdom of these comments has clearly been lost in the forty years since Ike left office. And the first step towards turning things around is understanding how we got here. No single company can illustrate that progression better than the Carlyle Group, a business founded on a tax scheme in 1987 that has grown up to be what its own marketing literature once called " a vast interlocking global network." The company does business at the confluence of the war on terrorism and corporate responsibility. It is a world that few of us can even imagine, full of clandestine meetings, quid pro quo deals, bitter ironies, and petty jealousies. And the cast of characters includes some of the most famous and powerful men in the world. This is today’ s America. This is the Carlyle Group.

A prominent rabbi shows how to apply the wisdom of the Psalms in our daily lives Traditionally attributed to King David, among others, the book of Psalms collects 150 songs in praise of the Lord– songs that contain some of the Bible’ s most beautiful and inspiring verses. Now, one of America’ s most esteemed rabbis elucidates the meaning of the Psalms and explains how their healing wisdom can help us in our everyday lives. Examining each of the Psalms in turn, Rabbi Joshua Haberman shows h these " dialogues with God" offer comfort in our struggles to cope with adversity and improve our lot in life, whether we’ re seeking deliverance from suffering, giving praise for our good fortune, or commemorating a special occasion. Though this is the only mainstream book on the Psalms written by a rabbi, the book is for people of all spiritual traditions– Jews, Christians, and people of any tradition who want to tap into the healing power of the Psalms. Joshua O. Haberman (Washington, DC) is President of the Foundation for Jewish Studies. The former Senior Rabbi at the Washington Hebrew Congregation, he has preached at the White House and at the nationally televised memorial service to honor victims of 9/11.
