Coming into political consciousness I had imagined a radical movement similar to the beggars march in The Three Penny Opera. It would be a home, a place to gather for the despised, the grotesque, the disenfranchised, people in pain, outcasts. Together we would menace the society in our very being, in our very acceptance of each other's humanity, in our essential beauty and defiance. My participation in that march covers decades of my life. Book of pieces is a combinationof fiction, personal/political prose, an interview, a libretto and some poetry. I wrote the first piece, "In the Audience," in the late '70s when I was 37. The last in 2016 at 72.

The Natural Law Party was founded in 1992 to create a new mainstream political party that would offer voters forward-looking, prevention-oriented, commonsense solutions to America's problems. Robert Roth's A Reason to Vote is the remarkable story of the party's founding and its successful efforts to enter the national political arena, as well as the party's point-by-point platform to lead the country into the next decade.

They missed some of its most important aspects, namely, connections and relations. In a similar vein, Roth maintains that the pragmatists themselves have not been radical enough in developing the full implications of their own tradition.

Athens, Georgia. 1966. Three years before Woodstock. There I was, a naïve Jewish kid from Miami Beach plunked down as a freshman at the University of Georgia¬-where at 19, I fell in love with and married a slightly unbalanced gentile girl whom I met at the hippie table in Creswell Cafeteria. We were the perfect match; the rocks in my head fit the holes in hers. Eschewing any sort of life plan, we spent the next 50 years dealing with whatever the universe sent our way. This memoir is a look back at it all-the successes and failures, the craziness and fun.

Earth Orbit Station–Prime, the largest of the orbital stations and home to hundreds of thousands of Confederation corporate citizens, is the system’s gateway to Earth and a jewel in the Confederation’s crown. With its pristine parklands, electrifying nightlife, galaxy-class shopping, and inspiring entertainment, life aboard EOS-1 is luxurious and carefree. As long as you live Upstation. For Nix, a young snatcher working the Downstation markets and corridors of EOS-1, life is hard. Since he’s Unregistered and forced to live off Upstation society’s dregs, a hard life is the only life he knows. But snatching is what he’s good at, and it’s the only way he knows how to get by. Then his orbit gets all spun out when he catches heat from the hard-driven agents of Earth Orbit Station Security. And he has to face some harsh realities about what he believes and who he cares about before he gets sent on the short walk and long drop on the Downwell Express.

No Christian will dispute the importance of properly understanding the gospel. And throughout the centuries the function of theology has been to aid that understanding. In good part, as the author of this challenging study indicates, theology has turned to philosophy, history, sociology, or yet other disciplines in an effort to make its own message clear; that is, theology has used philosophical or historical or sociological concepts of reality, and has then attempted to impose upon reality (so defined) a deeper theological significance. But that effort, Robert Roth believes, can never be completely successful, since each of these disciplines -- valuable as they are in themselves -- are compelled by their nature to reduce both reality and theology to the level of what is human, thus leaving out the very thing that theology is all about: God. Roth contends that theology must use as its model what he terms story, the kind of large, comprehensive tale or myth that takes into account the basic facts of the universe and human existence. The nature of story, he tells us, is essentially dramatic, filled with tension between opposing forces. The conflict between good and evil, for example, or between hope and despair, has always characterized great literature. And it is precisely those same conflicts that characterize reality. Little wonder that God's account of reality -- the gospel -- is cast in story form. 'Story and Reality' is an exciting and unusual approach to the question of what constitutes God's message to humanity; it offers as well new insights into the nature of literature, and the role story can play in helping us properly apprehend reality. Roth demands an effort on the part of his readers; but it is an effort that will be richly repaid.
