	Amazon.de: Karl Marx: English Books: Francis Wheen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-05-25)
		Wheen's book is whimsical, eclectic, comprehensive, and humorous, but it presupposes a knowledge of the 19th and 20th century European revolutionary and political history which is rapidly fading from our 21st century minds.
		Wheen does not bore the reader with tedious descriptions of Marx's theories on dialectical materialism, or the struggle of class vs. class.
		Wheen's research is excellent, and his prose, though sometimes just a bit too colloquial, is refreshingly cant free and smooth.

	New Statesman - The sleep of reason
		Wheen is passionate about reason and furious that so many forces in modern life conspire to destabilise the sane and the rational.
		Wheen parries this with a memorable quotation from Professor Richard Evans: "Auschwitz was not a discourse."
		Wheen believes that if we are suddenly shown the truth, then the scales should fall away from our eyes.

	Diana, Princess of Wales - tScholars.com
		To her admirers, The Princess of Wales was a role model — after her death, there were even calls for her to be nominated for sainthood — while her detractors saw her life as a cautionary tale of how an obsession with publicity can ultimately destroy an individual.
		The Honourable Diana Frances Spencer was born as the youngest daughter of Edward Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and his first wife, Frances Spencer, Viscountess Althorp (formerly the Honourable Frances Burke Roche) at Park House on the Sandringham estate.
		At 5:30, her death was announced at a press conference held by a hospital doctor, Jean-Pierre Chevènement (France's Interior Minister) and Sir Michael Jay (Britain's ambassador to France).

	[No title]
		Frances seized her by the arm and drew her to one side.
		Only one was still in his home town, poor old Phil Amory, Frances' brother, half-blind in his darkened room, but to bring anything of his own heart burden to that brave soul seemed sacrilege or worse.
		There was something queer in Jack's attitude toward his old life and its associations, and after her first failures in attempting to restore the old relationship her eldest daughter's pride and then her own forbade further efforts.

	Forces-of-Nature :: Karl Marx
		Comment: Frances Wheen biography on Karl Marx is a benchmark in recent books on famous political thinkers.
		Frances analysis of Marx-Engesl intimate cumplicity is much enlightening as Marx dimension as a bourgeois man of family and its rarely preceived sympathy with English society and culture.
		When there is a new return to Karl main political essays by sociologista and political scientists out of the common left-right ''wall'', Frances passionate and fresh biography give us the figure of a common man and an ideologue, not the myth or the vilain.

	Wodehouse's Final Farce
		Wodehouse, who lived in France during the early months of the war, was arrested by the Germans in 1940 and sent to an internment camp.
		In June 1941, shortly before his 60th birthday, he was transferred to a hotel in Berlin, in keeping with the Nazi policy of releasing internees when they turned 60.
		As Frances Donaldson asked in her 1982 biography of Wodehouse, "What should someone do who finds himself in an enemy country during a war and is forced to live at an expensive hotel?" Unable to get at his British bank accounts, he had to improvise: selling his wristwatch and his wife's jewellery, borrowing from friends.

	Investigations belie NATO claims of "ethnic genocide" in Kosovo
		Guardian columnist Frances Wheen coined the term "Kosovo revisionists", equating those who dispute NATO claims of genocide with right-wing historians who deny the Nazi holocaust against the Jews.
		Commentators like Wheen who seek to dismiss the growing evidence of NATO lies generally attribute to their opponents the most despicable motives.
		A series of grisly bombings of Serb and Kosovar civilians, including the destruction of passenger trains and assaults on Albanian refugees, followed by NATO's bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, fuelled public concern and distrust of NATO claims.

		Which all sounds great in theory but would probably result in even more death in practice - and of course would, coincidentally, open up the field for good honest white ex-public school boy entrepreneurs to run their businesses in peace.
		I was reading Frances Wheen’s How Mumbo Jumbo Conquered The World during my trip, which includes a scathing and rigorous attack on the whole economic “trickle down” idea that seemed implicit in a lot of what was being said…
		In some ways the ex-pat community is so small and incestuous that a bit of turbulence and disagreement is necessary and entertaining, but it did make me feel a bit wishy washy for feeling that both aid and investment is needed.

	The Impending Insignificance of Capital
		What the Freepers fail to realize is that their market fundamentalism is proving that Karl Marx was correct.
		Frances Wheen ends his article by writing, "For all the anguished, uncomprehending howls from the right-wing press, Karl Marx could yet become the most influential thinker of the 21st century".
		That is, unless, the democratic forces of which George Soros speaks of and the progressive elements in solidarity worldwide, fail to check runaway capitalism in its tracks.

		Then there's AN Wilson being waspish about reviewers and Stephen Fay creating a ruefully witty story out of being sacked over breakfast at Claridge's.
		And nostalgic recollections of the old relaxed booziness of Fleet Street flow from the maudlin pens of, for example, Frances Wheen and Alan Watkins.
		Lamenting the great days of James Cameron and Martha Gellhorn, Wheen is contemptuous of today's columnists who fill their space with "self-regarding blather about what they saw on telly last night, or the state of their love life, or extempore opinions without any sort of anchorage in fact".

		In the Guardian of last saturday I read an edited excerpt from Frances Wheen’s forthcoming book on Marx’ Das Kapital (in a series that is called ‘Books that Shook the World’).
		Not only did it inspire me to go out and try to buy the book immediately (but it’s not available yet…), it paints such a alluring picture of the book and the style it is written in, that I’m tempted to make Marx’ big book my summer reading…
		(Frances Wheen also wrote a very enjoyable biography of Marx.)

		Have you come across Frances Wheen's book 'How Mumbo Jumbo conquered the world'?
		It's a bit of a mess in a way and he lumps post structuralism with a lot of more legitimate beefs, but overall it paints an interesting if frightening picture of the pervasive acceptance of nonsense, from Hilary Clinton's astrologer to half baked management theory and 'blue sky thinking' under Thatcher.
