	William James - Biography, Chronology, and Photographs
		James had warned Alice that, should she deign to accept his proposal of marriage, she should be well aware of his mental condition.
		James was also one of the first writers to use the term self-esteem, which he described as a self-feeling that depends on what one decides to be and to accomplish.
		James himself was aware of "how odd it must seem to some of you to hear me say that an idea is 'true' so long as to believe it is profitable to our lives," and he worked both to clarify his definition of pragmatism and to emphasize the moral element that accompanies it.

	Introduction
		The mystical James must dispense with all concepts since they are the agents of his active, promethean self through their presenting this self with recipes for using objects.
		The pragmatic James reduced the whole meaning of claims about God and the absolute to our being licensed to take a moral holiday or feel safe and secure because all is well, but the mystical James finds their meaning in experiences of a unifying presence; the star performer finally gets into the act.
		But the price that James had to pay for lighting so many fires was to be the brunt of numerous self-serving anachronistic interpretations by the devotees of these different movements, anxious to further their own cause by getting him aboard their bandwagon.

		Subsequently James set out to create his own equivalent post-war series devoted not to the British toffee-nosed uppercrust but to the depraved, degenerate demimonde of drug-lords, payroll thieves, hold-up artist, kidnappers and their ilk.
		James dialogue is worthy of David Mamet or Dashiell Hammett.
		Bill James, for 20 years, has been a modern master of mystery suspense, an elder statesman who deserves world-wide recognition as an astonishing pungent reporter on the modern world.

	ToxicUniverse.com - James, Bill - 2000 - Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame Books Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Before reading James’ 452-page book I was only vaguely familiar with the idea that the baseball writers elected a handful of modern players yearly while an old timer’s committee elected a handful of players who had been overlooked by the writers.
		James makes a case for the ignorance of young writers electing players they hadn’t seen during the 1940’s; otherwise, there is no way to explain the election of Tinker, Evers, and Chance in 1946.
		James discusses these at length and shows how the standard arguments can all be questioned, as statistics can always be manipulated to make a “reasoned” case—ask any lawyer—and baseball fans are statistical junkies with their favorite preconceptions and cases to support.

	dOc DVD Review: I Capture the Castle (2002) - Printable
		Although the prim Austen might well have blushed at nudity, she relished examining poor English families who rely on upwardly mobile marriages for economic security and ultimate happiness, using the premise to great effect in both Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
		Novelist Smith (who also wrote One Hundred and One Dalmatians, of all things) updates I Capture the Castle to the mid-1930s, but it seems society in the British hinterlands hasn't changed since Austen's time.
		Garai is candid about her relative lack of experience before filming began and her initial intimidation, but credits Fywell with helping her to relax and adopt a more spontaneous outlook.

		James' police procedurals are second to none, thanks largely to his wickedly dark humor, the way he shows the human flaws of crook and cop, and his ability to draw the thin line between the good guys and the bad.
		While some writers of police procedurals feature a detective who reappears throughout a long series of novels, Bill James repeats not only his detectives, but also his "bad guys," creating an entire world of fascinating characters to which devoted readers (including me) return again and again.
		James writes the best dialogue in current mystery fiction; his plots are superb; and his portrayal of police under siege is unequalled.
