or those who live under a 21st
century rock, David Horowitz is
one of the most talked-about and
debated - and in some instances, despised figures of the American political landscape.
The son of radical communist parents, he
was the editor of ‘Ramparts’ magazine,
an active supporter of the radical black
Islamic movement the Black Panthers,
and an outspoken opponent of all things
conervative and capitalist - until the
death of his friend at the hands of the
Black Panthers in 1972, and the rise of
destructive communism in South-East
Asia.
He is now known as an almost archconservative supporter and commentator,
creating the David Hororwitz Freedom
Center as a platform for pro-conservative
campaigning, and to fight ‘un-American
agendas’. His online publication, FrontpageMagazine.com, which features articles
‘on the war at home and abroad’ receives almost 1,000,000 visitors per month. His
presence in Hollywood is disturbingly solid. This is not an easy read, but it is frank,
sad, engaging (surprisingly) and worth it.

f you want to get across some serious
generational gaps and still do it with a
smile, then look no further than Amy
Lynch. With the benefit of a few years (we
won’t say how many, because it’s impolite
to speak about a lady’s age) hindsight and
a few more’s worth of job experience,
Amy delivers frank, funny obervations
on leadership and disruption in every
generation. With enough interaction to
keep even the most progressive Millenial
engaged, this is a great example of someone
who understands the need to break down
age barriers in the workplace and beyond.
