For Schools-Press Release-Those Self Evident Truths
Ted Does School Visits
Ted Magnuson's Those Self Evident Truths, is a 72 minute audio presentation on CD. Ted dramatically reads the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, The Preamble to the American Constitution and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. For students who rely on their ears, this unique presentation brings alive the enduring and fundamental documents of American liberty in a powerful new way.
In this, an election year when the media too often ‘sensationalizes to shock,’ it is more important than ever to see through the blizzard of hype and come in contact the very basis of everyday life in our society--the rule of law our government has been founded on.
For high school students, ‘Truths’ is a great addition to Terry Jordan’s The US Constitution and Fascinating things about it, Agel and Gerberg’s The US Constitution for Everyone, and Linda Monk’s The Words We Live By: Your Annotated Guide to the Constitution
For Middle School students, here is another angle, an audio account of the material the Colliers cover in their American history series including Creating the Constitution.

In these words from our forbearers, in brief accounts of the events leading up to their creation, Ted invites us to reflect on the aims of democracy--on the aims of ‘Nation-building, American style.’ In such a condensed form, one can only marvel at the dedication and vision of those who’ve gone before us.
In our own times, generations still alive have seen the American Experience in Nation-building rebuild Europe after the World Wars. We’ve seen Japan and parts of Korea boosted into the technological age. In many ways and places, America has made its presence known. While Those Self Evident Truths implies no specifics on strategies and tactics, one question Ted can’t help but ask is ‘Can 800 years of struggle and heritage be downloaded into one election cycle?”

The Moses Probe
Paperback Original
While preparing to embark for Alpha Centauri Lt. Jac Flyte receives a call from Cheryl, his former fiancé. She asks him...if before he goes away forever...could he come see what her colleague Edmund Leahy has done? The breakthrough is far more than mere transit to Alpha C at the speed of light- It is instantaneous transit to any planet in the known Universe. Yet Jac knows Leahy has been mocked and maligned. Still, Cheryl is insistent. Jac considers this--what could be finer than an endless stream of dinners with Ms. Bellini and to be a Master of the Universe, too?
