Inside Pitch

Inside Pitch $8.95 This book is in Like New condition

Inside $9.99 American jails and prisons confine nearly 13.5 million people each year, and it is estimated that 6 to 7 percent of the U.S. population will be confined in their lifetimes. Despite these disturbing numbers, little is known about life inside beyond the mythology of popular culture. Michael G. Santos, a federal prisoner nearing the end of his second decade of continuous confinement, has dedicated the last eighteen years to shedding light on the lives of the men warehoused in the American prison system. Inside: Life Behind Bars in America , his first book for the general public, takes us behind those bars and into the chaos of the cellblock.   Capturing the voices of his fellow prisoners with perfect pitch, Santos makes the tragic— and at times inspiring—stories of men from the toughest gang leaders to the richest Wall Street criminals come alive. From drug schemes, murders for hire, and even a prostitution ring that trades on the flesh of female prison guards, this book contains the never-before-seen details of prison life that at last illuminate the varied ways in which men experience life behind bars in America.

High and Inside $7.95 Twelve-year-old Matt must learn to face a high and inside pitch while dealing with allegiances to friends and doing the right thing.

a tumbler of Canadian Club, and you’ve got Don Blauweiss.

On a recent Friday morning, the 78-year-old Mr. Blauweiss was in a green Jeep
stick-shift waiting for _The Observer_ at the Metro-North station in
Bronxville. He was sporting a black leather jacket, black turtleneck and a
full head of curly white hair. “My red BMW is in the shop,” the self-described
_New Yorkquino_ apologized in a laidback Queens cadence.

As we stuttered through the sloping streets of the tony Eastchester suburb,
Mr. Blauweiss described the AMC drama as “meticulous down to every detail—the
princess telephones, the wardrobing.” He should know. In the sixties, Mr.
Blauweiss got his start as a twentysomething art director at Doyle Dane
Bernbach, the agency credited with setting off a “creative revolution” that
transformed Madison Avenue, upending the Sterling Coopers of the world in the
process.

It’s a trick he’d like to pull off again. With several compadres from the old
days, Mr. Blauweiss has just launched a new advertising consultancy, Senior
Creative People, targeting an overlooked demographic: his own.
