The Indianapolis ABCs were formed around the turn of the century, playing company teams from around the city; they soon played other teams in Indiana, including some white teams. Their emergence coincided with the remarkable growth of black baseball, and by 1916 the ABCs won their first major championship. When the Negro National League was formed in 1920, Indianapolis was one of its charter members. But player raids by the Eastern Colored League, formed in 1923, hurt the ABCs and by the Depression the team was fading into oblivion. The team was briefly resurrected as a Negro league team in the late 1930s, but was otherwise relegated to the semiprofessional ranks until its demise in the 1940s. Through contemporary newspaper accounts, extensive research and interviews with the few former ABC players still living, this is the story of the Indianapolis team and the rise of Negro League baseball. The work includes a roster of ABC players, with short biographies of the most prominent.

Walk into any casino, and there is one section where the action is fast and furious. Players are whooping it up, and it sounds like one big party. You approach the area, and, squeezing through the crowd, you discover a long green felted table with a myriad of complex, confusing symbols. You hear voices, but while you can recognize the words, it seems they are in language you’ve never heard before – at least, you have no idea what they mean: “Eighter from Decatur,” “Six and one and you’re all done,” “It’s Little Joe,” and “Seven's a bruiser, the front line's a loser.” Does baby need a new pair of shoes? Of course, because you’re at a Craps Table, the most fun you can have in a casino. So many people pass this game by because of the perceived complexity and the unusual jargon, but Craps is really a very simple game to learn, and better yet – you can actually make some decent money by playing smart. And that’s what this book is all about. Yes, Craps is a game of chance, but the edge the casino has on many of the bets you’ll want to make are very small. A hot streak or two, and you can make some serious “spondulicks” Y’know, “Benjamins…Moolah.” Money. The ABC’s of Craps is designed for the beginning gambler who wants to learn how to play this classic casino game, and play it well.

Blackjack, or Twenty-One if you prefer, is one of the most popular table games in any casino. And it has the lowest “casino edge” of any game, too. So why aren’t more people playing? They don’t know how to play. They feel intimidated. They think slots give them a better deal. They don’t want to lose all their money. They think Paula Deen will eat them with a pound of butter. I can deal with all of these issues except the last one. Blackjack can be easy to learn, and with my systems it’s easy to learn how to win, too. You’re on your own with Paula…

Embarking on yet another journey, Suzanne writes about her experiences and tries to make some sense of this confusion we call American education. With a European perspective, she will develop the best of both worlds, by outlining the best of both educational systems. To balance this rather serious subject, she will insert poetry to lighten the way to a different paradigm shift. What programs are better, how are they instituted, and where can they be rearranged to enhance the educational experience? That part of the study will presently unfold.
