Long before the Stonewall riots, ONE magazine—the first openly gay magazine in the United States—offered a positive viewpoint of homosexuality and encouraged gay people to resist discrimination and persecution. Despite a limited monthly circulation of only a few thousand, the magazine influenced the substance, character, and tone of the early American gay rights movement. This book is a collection of letters written to the magazine, a small number of which were published in ONE, but most of them were not. The letters candidly explore issues such as police harassment of gay and lesbian communities, antigay job purges, and the philosophical, scientific, and religious meanings of homosexuality.

Voice connects our embodied existence with the theoretical worlds we construct. This book argues that the voice is a crucial element of mortal identity in the tragedies of Aeschylus. It first presents conceptions of the voice in ancient Greek poetry and philosophy, understanding it in its most literal and physical form, as well as through the many metaphorical connotations that spring from it. Close readings then show how the tragedies and fragments of Aeschylus gain meaning from the rubric and performance of voice, concentrating particularly on the Oresteia. Sarah Nooter demonstrates how voice - as both a bottomless metaphor and performative agent of action - stands as the prevailing configuration through which Aeschylus' dramas should be heard. This highly original book will interest all those interested in classical literature as well as those concerned with material approaches to the interpretation of texts.

Leon had to learn early to throw a bag of mealies over his shoulder and walk away with it. He was barely fourteen years old when he so skillfully handled a bow and arrow that any Bushman's mouth would have watered. Because he was the only son and child of his parents, he found his amusement in the field, where he hunted jackals and stuck leopards under the arrow. His hands learned early to twist a young ox's horns so that the animal fell powerless to the ground. Leon's mother died early, just before the First War of Freedom, when the Basothos attacked a few remote farms. From then on, Leon's father became an adventurer. Together, they moved into the unknown, always deeper into the unknown Transvaal. And Lettie? Leon and she grew up together. Both her parents were killed by the Basothos and Leon's father then took care of her. Lettie with her soft, wavy, blonde hair and blue eyes, blue as the cloudless sky of the Lowveld. And now she is already a sixteen-year-old boer girl. One night, a couple of cattle thieves steal all of Leon's cattle, kill his father and kidnap Lettie in the process. Leon swears revenge on the murderers and cattle thieves. With a leopard, he had to kill for survival, he then made a mask out of it, and thus the legend of the Black Panther was born.
