It was one of the most significant developments of the post-war era: China finally abandoning its close relationship with the Soviet Union to begin detente with the USA. Astonishingly, the man who helped make it happen was a British aristocrat, Ivor Montagu, a Soviet spy who knew Stalin and dined with Trotsky. Even more remarkably, the means to this rapprochement was table tennis, a sport loved by both Chairman Mao and Montagu. For years, Montagu had lived a dual life, working to spread communism and also table tennis around the world. Surprisingly, the two strands of his career would come together in an event of global significance. Nicholas Griffin weaves a compelling story to reveal the background to the famous occasion in 1971, when the USA's Glenn Cowan, a 19-year-old hippie, befriended China's world champion Zhuang Zedong, who was imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution. Within days, the Americans would be playing the Chinese in front of 18,000 fans in Beijing, with the whole world watching. It was the beginning of a thaw in Sino-US relations that forced the Soviets into a crippling arms race that acted as a catalyst to pressuring them into errors that would draw the Cold War to an end. Sometimes sport truly can have the biggest consequences.

Democratic politics involves a series of multi-directional conversations. Effective conversations have the potential to engage, educate, and animate both citizens and governmental officials. On the individual level, discovering successful conversational strategies benefits both political and social interaction. This book offers guidelines for conducting effective conversations personally, politically, and beyond such that readers of this book are unlikely to ever again look at conversation in the same way. New technologies and social trends both challenge and potentially enhance traditional face-to-face and media dominated conversations. Understanding the state, quality and potential of political conversations provides a unique perspective for evaluating and potentially improving government "by the people."

In Ping Pong Poems, Christine Irving and Susan Campbell create a living conversation that explores the poets' backgrounds and wide-ranging interests. In contrast to the acrimony and recriminations that seem to pervade our world, these friends exchange ideas clothed in striking metaphors-like friends meeting over coffee-one topic connecting cognitively to the next subject and then round again. In this collection, each poem acts as an inspiration for the next poem so that each is both follower and leader in a continuing round of mutual exploration. As the process unwinds and develops interplay, natural affinities are revealed, sometimes spiraling in surprising ways to reach the same ends from two very different directions.Ping Pong signals a willingness to play with words and to participate in our inner lives and with the world-and with each other! That's the heart of writing, isn't it, a tenet that we must keep alive and urgent, or else, as Marvin Bell writes in Segues, "all fall down." Dialoging has proved to be more than just a way to hone my craft. I am enchanted with the unexpected ways these dialogs move us through time and space. The intimacy inherent in the conscious and unconscious revelation of our authentic selves touches me deeply. I am grateful for Susan's faithful responses and the amazing breadth of her knowledge, which continues to expand and enrich my understanding of our amazing world. We live a fair distance from one another and rarely find time for a face to face leisurely conversation. Dialog allows us to cultivate friendship in a new way. The longer I live, the more I enjoy having friends with whom to share a deep appreciation for the workings of nature and the miraculous ever-unfolding mystery of creation. Such friends are precious beyond rubies. Susan is no exception.

This book is called Ping Pong for Fighters, and it's about fighting all the different elements that are attached to table tennis. The fight starts inward and eventually moves outward, from within ourselves, to the ball, to our opponents, to the environment and the external conditions. I think what's interesting about this book is that the reader takes the journey with me. All that I learned in over 20 years of competing in table tennis, is in this book. The goal of this book is to try and get the reader to approach the game differently. The book is basically a philosophy for the thinking and feeling player. A philosophy that encourages one to stay in the present moment, have self confidence and compete to the best of their ability. This book is also very direct and very easy to understand. It is not an intellectual discourse of any kind. The book reads more like a conversation consisting of helpful direction through experience and a philosophy of table tennis that is concerned more with experiencing what it feels like to think and play table tennis like a top table tennis player.

Conversations in Pan was fun to write. The idea came to me after I lost a job that I loved, and, which gave me financial stability. My life went into a free fall. So to save my sanity and to try to find my direction again, I turned to one of my special and sacred gifts, writing poetry. This book grounded me. The process of writing about an instrument that I love gave me purpose, determination, discipline. It took me out of the depths of despair and forced me to reaffirm my faith in God. I learned so much while writing these poems. God also placed some special people in my life. Had I not lost that job, our paths would have never crossed. A whole new world had opened up to me in writing and completing this book. I am so much richer for it. Rich in spirit, in sound friendship, mentally able and stable to accomplish and conquer all! The friends I have gained when this opportunity presented itself will be in my life forever. They have made me a much better individual. Thank you! May the Almighty bless you with grace, mercy, and favor! The purpose of this book is to enlighten, entertain, and educate using my poetic voice and platform. To introduce to some and expand to others, showing how poetry can be incorporated into a culture that is rich, vibrant, and unique; the world of the Steelpan.
