Charles Hinkley took a break from his studies at Thunderbird in 1958 and toured 21 countries in Latin America. He traveled on tramp steamers, paddled a canoe down the Amazon River, visited bankers and met the president of Sears Roebuck Brazil. He returned to the United States with copious notes from the odyssey, which he eventually published in 2008 (honoring a request made by late Thunderbird professor Lyle Shurz).
Saigon, 1968…a crossroads on the darkling plain of war. Gordon Hunter arrives with stark images from the evening news still fresh in mind. In a series of interrelated short stories, he discovers the very real war behind those images, the very real people caught up in it, and the hollowness of glory.
Roger Collier is a failed poet, failed painter, and failing sculptor. But that’s not the worst of his troubles. When he’s found dead in his Pebble Beach home, dispatched by a well-played five-iron, the police say the killer is a pretty blonde model. Jack Savage suspects that it was one of four critics who wrote blistering reviews of Collier’s work, and then discovered new levels of hell when he repaid them with “getting even” tactics. As he pursues his hunch, Jack finds himself victimized by a psychotic stalker who subjects him to the same tactics, then kidnaps his unruly dog. The trouble is, all four of the critics have iron-clad alibis, and Jack is not so sure he wants the dog back.
Jack Savage is a private eye whose turf is California’s Monterey Peninsula. No one tries harder than “Monterey Jack,” but he unfortunately labors under two handicaps — he is a neophyte, and he happened to be born under a very strange star. Life, for Jack, is a dizzying succession of square pegs and round holes. His first case is so embarrassingly simple — find a locket lost by two Mexican women visiting the peninsula as tourists. Yet he soon finds himself ensnared in a dangerous web that links the CIA, a dominatrix, sinister visitors from Taiwan, and a Silicon Valley company with its super-secret “stealth bomb.” All this, while being upstaged by an inscrutable dog with its own agenda.
A radio playlist could easily follow John Lennon’s “Mind Games” with “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.” But comparing the two, it becomes obvious that Lennon had more in common with the great thinkers of any age than with the songwriters who were his contemporaries. “Cynical Idealist” reveals, for the first time, the spiritual odyssey of this extraordinary man. Out of a turbulent life, from his troubled, working-class childhood throughout his many roles — Beatle, peace advocate, social activist, househusband — Lennon managed to fashion a philosophy that elevates the human spirit and encourages people to work, individually and collectively, toward a better world. Like Socrates, Lennon wanted to stimulate people to think for themselves. “There ain’t no guru who can see through your eyes,” he sings in “I Found Out.” “Cynical Idealist” beautifully articulates this and the other lessons John Lennon passed along through his songs and through the example of his life.
