		1876 is a stylish and thought-provoking book that functions well as both political commentary and character-driven novel.
		In the afterword of "1876," a novel about the centennial written in the bicentennial, Gore Vidal calls the portentous year "probably the low point in our republic's history" and warns us that history repeats itself in the most interesting ways.
		"1876" is as much a polemic as a novel; Vidal is never ambiguous about his opinions on what he believes to be debacles in the American political arena, and his tone, delivered here through the voice of Schuyler, is clear as a bell and sharp as a tack.

	Roller Sports History
		Roller Sports Canada (formerly the Canadian Federation of Amateur Roller Skaters) was already a non-profit, amateur body, and thus became a member of the Canadian Olympic Association in 1979, having representation on the COA's Board of Directors since that time.

		A major challenge in the past ten years has been to educate newcomers to the sport on the recommended safety equipment that should be worn, especially when skating in unsupervised areas, and on surfaces not specifically constructed or designed for skating.
