Recounts in detail the family lives of members of the Kennedy clan, including the drug-taking and other dilemmas of the rising generation.

This story is designed and written by Peter Collier for both the reader and the listener. Children will request parents to continuously re-read a story that has caught their imagination. When written in free verse, a story is both a delight to read and to hear. The reader feels accomplished when reading this story and, in the act of story telling, begins exaggerating tone, inflection, and mood. The illustrations by Simon Redekop are an expanding visual element, necessary for a clear understanding of the story. Without imaginative, detailed, and related illustrations the full scope of possible humour for the story is not complete. This story constitute several conceptual elements to motivate reading and precipitate a positive child''s reading development. When constructed in free verse rhyme, while reading along, children quickly begin to retain portions of the story. Once the child begins reading independantly, such stories act as memory assisting templates to guide the beginning reader through their first reading selections. The reading successes of a child will fuel additional comprehension activities and help to jump start reading skills that greatly motivate the young reader. For the adult reader such stories are always a treat. I understand the necessity to include a reader''s interests and needs as part of the story telling activities. The length of my stories are designed to be between 10 to 15 minutes, to act as a short break or bedtime activity. I have avoided making up new nouns and adjectives for purposes of rhyme, understanding that teachers do not appreciate this activity. I find that by identifying children by full name, as the story characters, it adds a sense of identity and reality. The children accept the diversity of people, which, in turn, opens the imagination to accepting limitless fictional situations and opportunities.

Les grands anniversaires sont l''occasion de redorer certains mythes à défaut de redonner une seconde virginité à l''Histoire. Publié fortuitement pour le bicentenaire des Etats-Unis d''Amérique, ce livre n''obéit pas à la loi du genre : ni nostalgie, ni exaltation d''un rêve envolé. Mais la fabuleuse chronique d''un phénomène social unique en son genre et qui résume à lui seul le destin et les traits de l''Amérique triomphante : une réussite et une richesse si extraordinaires qu''on a pu les croire bénies de Dieu, une générosité tellement rentable qu''elle s''est érigée en institution, une puissance privée qui, se sentant investie d''une mission morale corroborée par ses succès financiers, a annexé le pouvoir d''Etat, confondant inextricablement ses intérêts et ceux du pays, assimilant son extension et sa propre défense à un rôle historique dont les adversaires sont devenus synonymes d''agents du mal - un phénomène dont le nom résume au XXe siècle la symbiose du pouvoir et de l''argent : les Rockefeller. Voici, sur quatre générations, l''épopée de cette véritable dynastie : la naissance de la colossale fortune léguée par John Davison Rockefeller, dit Senior, fondateur de la Standard Oil, le développement de la prospérité familiale et de son industrie phi!anthropique sous John D. II, dit Junior, l''apogée de cet Empire sous le règne des cinq frères - John D. III, Laurance, Winthrop, David, maître de la Chase Manhattan Bank, et Nelson, gouverneur de l''Etat de New York puis vice-président des Etats-Unis - jusqu''à sa remise en question par ses propres héritiers, la génération des années 60, dans l''Amérique de la guerre du Vietnam, des révoltes étudiantes et du scandale du Watergate. C''est grâce à l''aide des vingt et un arrière-petits-enfants du bâtisseur de la dynastie que Peter Collier et David Horowitz ont eu accès aux archives et aux secrets jalousement gardés qui leur ont permis d''écrire, à travers l''histoire de sa plus puissante famille, le roman de la toute-puissance américaine.
