Summer, 1944. War darkens Europe. An aurora, though, has gilded Paris following its liberation after four years of occupation. Commissaire Jacques Bouttier, just appointed Chief of Police, pledges to a flag waving crowd on the Champs Elysees that the displacement of the enemy's Gestapo with his Gendarmerie signals the invocation of forbearance against force. Police will protect! Police will respect! Once again the light of life will glow in Paris, even amidst the surrounding carnage in Europe! The next day a gendarme rushes into the commissaire's office and reports a crisis at the Jeu de Paume museum. A terrorist there is holding hostages and demanding to speak with the commissaire in person. Word of this incursion quickly spreads and foments outrage throughout the city. With the Gestapo finally dislodged, yet war closely raging, any sabotage carried out in Paris must be quashed! Calls for the use of force against terrorism assail the commissaire whose Gendarmerie is now responsible for the security of the city. As he prepares to confront this crisis at the museum, his salutary proclamation about forbearance the day before readily seems whimsical.

In April 2009 alumni and friends of Catholic High School for Boys will gather to toast and roast a favorite of the school's legendary faculty, Michael Moran, the author of Proudly We Speak Your Name. Only a stoic could complete a reading without a teary-eyed moment or two and many belly laughs. Faculty idiosyncrasies are recalled in this memoir, as are student antics. If it can happen within the walls of an all-boys high school, the author has probably seen it in his forty-one years of teaching. And he has probably reported on it in this book, which was written during his first year of "retirement." While the spirit is often light, Moran's book ends with a stirring tribute to the man who, though departed, still epitomizes the spirit of the place, the man whose name is now given to the school's street, Father George Tribou. Readers will leave Moran's account glad for the experience of following in his (remembered) footsteps.

A romantic and adventurous journey to the hidden islands and lagoons beyond Papua New Guinea and north of Australia.East of Java, west of Tahiti and north of the Cape York peninsula of Australia lie the unknown paradise islands of the Coral, Solomon and Bismarck Seas. They were perhaps the last inhabited place on earth to be explored by Europeans, and even today many remain largely unspoilt, despite the former presence of German, British and even Australian colonial rulers.Michael Moran, a veteran traveller, begins his journey on the island of Samarai, historic gateway to the old British Protectorate, as the guest of the benign grandson of a cannibal. He explores the former capitals of German New Guinea and headquarters of the disastrous New Guinea Compagnie, its administrators decimated by malaria and murder. He travels along the inaccessible Rai Coast through the Archipelago of Contented Men, following in the footsteps of the great Russian explorer 'Baron' Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay.The historic anthropological work of Bronislaw Malinowski guides him through the seductive labyrinth of the Trobriand 'Islands of Love' and the erotic dances of the yam festival. Darkly humorous characters, both historical and contemporary, spring vividly to life as the author steers the reader through the richly fascinating cultures of Melanesia.'Beyond the Coral Sea' is a captivating voyage of unusual brilliance and a memorable evocation of a region which has been little written about during the past century.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.
