Author Zane S. Taylor was born in Ephraim, Utah, a small town in the exact center of the state of Utah and grew up in a family of four children with loving parents who didnt know they were poor. Zane was engaged in a fight with the enemy as an infantryman in France, Germany, and Belgium. This was a big challenge. He had always been taught to love his enemies, do good and always help his fellowmen. Growing up in a small Junior College town provided him with opportunities to learn, attend college functions such as lyceums, football and basketball games and other enjoyable programs. The surrounding hills and mountains was a playground for him to hike, bike, hunt and explore rock quarries. The pea cannery and farmers provided work for young people; harvesting crops (hay, grain, peas), riding horses, feeding animals, herding sheep and turkeys. College and a church mission were in store for Zane, but a letter from the President calling him to serve in the army became his first priority. His desire to tell the details of serving as an infantryman has been on his mind for over 60 years. In addition to some very scary, exciting experiences the story tells of his inner feelings and day-to-day happenings that infantryman endure. He learned the real power of prayer and faith in God and his son Jesus Christ. The war taught him many basic skills of surviving and facing life with whatever one is faced with each day. His life now with his beautiful wife, seven great children and posterity of 55 has given him joy and peace in a troubled world. Many were Lesser Heroes in the war. All those who served should not be forgotten and better ways will hopefully be found to solve problems. War Is Hell...

Sports figures cope with a level of celebrity once reserved for the stars of stage and screen. In Game Faces , Sarah K. Fields looks at the legal ramifications of the cases brought by six of them--golfer Tiger Woods, quarterback Joe Montana, college football coach Wally Butts, baseball pitchers Warren Spahn and Don Newcombe, and hockey enforcer Tony Twist--when faced with what they considered attacks on their privacy and image. Placing each case in its historical and legal context, Fields examines how sports figures in the U.S. have used the law to regain control of their image. As she shows, decisions in the cases significantly affected the evolution of laws related to privacy, defamation, and publicity--areas pertinent to the lives of the famous sports figure and the non-famous consumer alike. She also tells the stories of why the plaintiffs sought relief in the courts, uncovering motives that delved into the heart of issues separating individual rights from the public's perceived right to know. A fascinating exploration of a still-evolving phenomenon, Game Faces is an essential look at the legal playing fields that influence our enjoyment of sports.
