1. Seduced by Mrs. Robinson: How "The Graduate" Became the Touchstone of a Generation
Description
[Gray] writes smartly and insightfully . . . The book as a whole offers a fascinating look at how this movie tells a timeless story. The Washington Post
Mrs. Robinson, youre trying to seduce me. Arent you?
When The Graduate premiered in December 1967, its filmmakers had only modest expectations for what seemed to be a small, sexy art-house comedy adapted from an obscure first novel by an eccentric twenty-four-year-old. There was little indication that this offbeat storya young man just out of college has an affair with one of his parents friends and then runs off with her daughterwould turn out to be a monster hit, with an extended run in theaters and seven Academy Award nominations.
The film catapulted an unknown actor, Dustin Hoffman, to stardom with a role that is now permanently engraved in our collective memory. While turning the word plastics into shorthand for soulless work and a corporate, consumer culture, The Graduate sparked a national debate about what was starting to be called the generation gap.
Now, in time for this iconic films fiftieth birthday, author Beverly Gray offers up a smart close reading of the film itself as well as vivid, never-before-revealed details from behind the scenes of the productionincluding all the drama and decision-making of the cast and crew. For movie buffs and pop culture fanatics, Seduced by Mrs. Robinson brings to light The Graduates huge influence on the future of filmmaking. And it explores how this unconventional movie rocked the late-sixties world, both reflecting and changing the eras views of sex, work, and marriage.

Feature
Mrs Kennedy and MeDescription
The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir by Clint Hill that Kirkus Reviews called clear and honest prose free from salaciousness and gossip, Jackie Kennedys personal Secret Service agent details his very close relationship with the First Lady during the four years leading up to and following President John F. Kennedys tragic assassination.In those four years, Hill was by Mrs. Kennedys side for some of the happiest moments as well as the darkest. He was there for the birth of John, Jr. on November 25, 1960, as well as for the birth and sudden death of Patrick Bouvier Kennedy on August 8, 1963. Three and a half months later, the unthinkable happened.
Forty-seven years after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the one vivid image that never leaves Clint Hills mind is that of President Kennedys head lying on Mrs. Kennedys lap in the back seat of the limousine, his eyes fixed, blood splattered all over the back of the car, Mrs. Kennedy, and Hill as well. Sprawled on the trunk of the car as it sped away from Dealey Plaza, Hill clung to the sides of the car, his feet wedged in so his body was as high as possible.
Clint Hill jumped on the car too late to save the president, but all he knew after that first shot was that if more shots were coming, the bullets had to hit him instead of the First Lady.
Mrs. Kennedys strength, class, and dignity over those tragic four days in November 1963 held the country together.
This is the story, told for the first time, of the man who perhaps held her together.

In addition to offering advice on a wide range of domestic topics, this abridged edition of Mrs. Beetons Book of Household Management contains hundreds of original recipes.
