		Moreover, because 'Birthright' establishes that the Superman costume itself has cultural weight to Clark, that it's an essential part of the whole Superman identity, it was decided that while we could drop in a passing reference allowing for the space-shuttle incident to have happened off-camera, Superman's debut ought to be in costume.
		Yes, there are certain scenes, albeit re-envisioned, in 'Birthright' that we've seen before--Krypton, the launch of the rocket, etc.--but remember, the goal is to be able to put this series in the hands of any reader on Earth and say, 'Here is the Story of Superman.' That's why we're not taking anything for granted.
		"Imagine Superman comics were beginning today and you could get in from the very beginning, reading the first adventures of a Man of Steel reinvented from top to bottom to reflect today's world and today's sensibilities," says Waid of the basics of the high-profile "Superman: Birthright" maxi series.

	Mike Resnick: Birthright: The Book of Man
		Birthright: The Book of Man tells the history of human exploration and expansion throughout the galaxy.
		In total, Birthright is a fable of European conquest, setting the tone for many other fables and allegories Resnick has created based on the histories of Zimbabwe, Kenya and other countries.
		While many of Resnick's novels are filled with individuals who are larger than life (Santiago, Jefferson Nighthawk, Koriba) few of the characters in Birthright manage to acquire the same mythic proportions.

	Crazy Rhythm by Leonard Garment PopMatters Book Review
		Before we even learn much about him as a lawyer, or as a husband or father, we're plunged into Chapter 3: "Nixon Goes East." For the rest of the book, Leonard Garment the man is plunged into the shadows as another Leonard Garment, one who exists merely to serve a Great Man of History, emerges.
		Garment raked the muck a little in 2000 with his book The Search for Deep Throat, in which he claimed that Nixon aide (and Garment recruit) John Sears was the source of Watergate leaks -- everyone involved, of course, denied it.
		But this book details Nixon's return to power and presidency, Garment's place in it as a kind of "liberal" balancing force (and one of the few Jews close to Nixon), and the fall of it all.

	Women Warriors: A History David E. Jone
		"History, as you will read, demonstrates that the warrior's mantle is a woman's birthright as surely as it is a man's and that the hand that rocks the cradle can also wield the sword." I found the book highly readable, and an enthusiastic overview of women's warrior history.
		Many of the stories were not new to me. I already knew the histories of women pirates, gladiators, warriors and soldiers--from hundreds of different sources scattered throughout historical material.
		The author sums up the book in his own preface.

		And the only one who could prepare Thuro to achieve his birthright was the mountain warrior Culain, the one man who knew the queen's deadly secret.

	The Alchemist's Tale by John Granger
		Every Harry Potter book is a rewrite of “pride and prejudice.” These vices are the defining qualities of those characters who despise the double-natured creatures about them and who are blind to the leaden soul or “old man” within themselves.
		Frequently used symbols of the albedo stage of the work in pictorial representations and descriptions of it are the moon (Luna in Latin), the name of one of Harry’s friends in the fifth book, and a lily, the name of his mother, who gave her life to save his.
		Harry’s father is named James, the name of the patron saint of alchemists, and his mother is named Lily, a symbol for the second, purifying stage of the alchemical work.

	Commentary Magazine - How to Read Philip Roth
		...Zuckerman Bound indeed tells the comically nightmarish story of just such a writer, who suddenly finds himself identified by the public with a fictional figure he has created: "They had mistaken impersonation for confession and were calling out to a character who lived in a book...
		...Circumcision," writes Zuckerman in the same passage in which he is trying to convince his estranged Gentile wife to submit the child she is pregnant with to the ancient rite, gives the lie to the womb-dream of life in the beautiful state of innocent prehistory, the appealing idyll of living "naturally," unencumbered by man-made ritual...
		...unlike Zuckerman's brother, however, the cause he embraces is that of a Jewish exodus from Israel to the safety and high culture of Western civilization...

		To celebrate the "reload" of DC Comics' Superman franchise, CBR News will be running interviews with numerous Superman creators through March, from writer Jeph Loeb to Editor Eddie Berganza, in preparation for April's exciting Superman events.
		He's quite possibly the biggest Superman fan on the planet and considering DC Comics has dubbed 2004 "The Year Of Superman," Mark Waid is excited about a lot, especially completing his vision of Superman.

	Sons of the City's Pavements
		Delmore's father was somewhat flashily successful as a business man, but the parents were divorced, the mother hysterical and unforgiving: the promised legacy to come at the father's death did not arrive, but remained, nevertheless, a taunting, maddening birthright denied.
		The essay is a tribute to Pound as a tireless salesman and patron of the best writing of his day; it is also a careful tribute to the prodigious talent and originality of Pound's own poetry.
		Schwartz examines with distaste the improbabilities in the echoing chambers of Pound's mind, but a book is an object in the world and not an exact equivalent of the whole person.

	Film Forum: Daredevil Is Not Your Friendly Neighborhood Superhero - Christianity Today Magazine
		The climax in the original film had something of the feel of a rite of passage, with Mowgli taking his birthright as a man by using fire against Shere Khan.
		Michael Steven Johnson's Daredevil is this year's first attempt to bring a comic book to the big screen, a few strides ahead of Hulk, X-Men 2, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
		Also somewhat impressed, Tom Snyder (Movieguide) says that Daredevil is characterized by "a strong Christian worldview." But that worldview is polluted, he adds, by "Romantic, pagan and satanic elements and symbols." He concludes, "The best part of the movie &; is the way in which it resolves the moral conflicts within Matt/Daredevil's own soul.

	Charles Ball. "Slavery in the United States: A Narratives of the Life and Adventures of Charles Ball, a Black Man ..."
		The author states, in a private communication, that many of the anecdotes in the book illustrative of southern society were not obtained from Ball, but from other and creditable sources; he avers, however, that all the facts which relate personally to the fugitive, were received from his own lips.
		The sons and daughters of the family are gentlemen and ladies by birthright--and were the former to be seen at the plough, or the latter at the churn, or the wash tub, the honour of the family would be stained, and the dignity of the house degraded.
		The sable culprit was led to a tree and tied to it, and a large quantity of pine knots collected and placed round him, and the fatal torch applied to the pile, even against the remonstrances of several gentlemen who were present, and the miserable being was, in a short time, burnt to ashes.

		At one point Shoen was sued by libel by his sons for suggesting that they might have been responsible for the crime, in the book Birthright, a corporate history of U-Haul.
		Shoen major was powerless to stop them because, by the time they came of age, his children held the majority of voting shares in the company.
		Leonard Shoen, who founded U-Haul and single-handedly invented the self-moving industry, was another man whose vision and drive overwhelmed and sundered his families.

	Denis Donoghue's review of Shloss's book
		All they know -- or think they know -- about Lucia is that for a while she was in love with Samuel Beckett and that, not necessarily as a consequence of her disappointment with his response, she went mad and died many years later in St. Andrew's Hospital, Northhampton, England.
		After Joyce's death on Jan. 13, 1941, Giorgio wrote to Jolas: "I hope Dr. Delmas has not put Lucia in the street as needless to say I cannot pay him nor can I communicate with him." Shloss comments on this sentence: "Few words could have better displayed the alien nature of Giorgio's birthright.
		Lucia had some talent as a dancer, a writer and a book designer, but she could not turn these gifts into a life.

		Thus strong and forceful in his relations with his fellows, he has gained the good will and commendation of his associates and the general public, retaining his reputation among men of integrity and high character, and never losing the dignity which is the birthright of the true gentleman.
		She was born in Dutchess county, New York, April 18, 1789, and in that county the parents of the subject lived about 1816 when they came to Oneida county, New York.
		It is conjectured that the family removed to Chenango county before reaching the town of Dansville, in the northwestern corner of Steuben county, where the boys learned the process and the business of tanning.

	Amazon.ca: Customer Reviews Books: Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water
		You will read the story of Floyd Dominy, director of the Bureau of Reclamation, who was a man of immense sexual appetites, little capacity for discipline, and an enormous ambition for power, regardless of expense to one and all, except himself.
		This must-read book cuts across political, social, and economic lines in showing how the American West was sold out, chopped up, and done in by men of low moral tone, absolute lack of scruple, obsessive aim, and not least, no spine at all.
		You and I are STILL paying for it, not in taxes, but in loss of scenic grandeur that was your birthright until Dominy and his crooked pals got hold of it.

	Amazon.com: Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews: A History: Books: James Carroll
		And yet his vision for a future rapprochement between Christians and Jews is hopeful, in part because he personally has come to understand the deep connections between Israel and the Church: "Jesus offers me, a non-Jew, access to the biblical hope that was his birthright as a son of Israel." --Michael Joseph Gross
		The implication of this thesis is that all other proposed routes, and especially the one proposed by the Jews, who should "know better" are false.
		Finally, this book was clearly written by a man who loves his religion and his Church, but continues to believe that both can evolve into something better.
