The James Logan Courier

By Abhishek Saluja, Courier Book Editor

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells is a short unique tale which illustrates journey of the man identified as The Time Traveler.

H.G. Wells has a tendency to create characters that are different from the norm. The Time Traveler is an intelligent man of his time who has invented a machine which allows him to travel through time, into the future and the past.

The Time Traveler picks the future in which to explore, and uses his time machine to arrive in a strange world. Thousands of years into the future he finds man has become weak, unintelligent, and uncaring.

Note: The author provided The Courier with a free, advanced copy of Little Brother, which goes on sale April 29, at amazon.com and other outlets.

“Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”

Sound familiar? I sure hope so, because it is straight out of the Declaration of Independence, the document that brought freedom to America and created the foundation for our government. It is also an important theme from the science-fiction novel Little Brother and is relevant in the post-9/11 world where the fight against terrorism in America is turning the protectors into the violators, the protected into the victims, and the terrorists into successes.

From wikipedia:
Charles Edward "Cow Cow" Davenport (April 26, 1894 – December 3, 1955) was an American boogie woogie piano player. He also played the organ and sang.

He was born in Anniston, Alabama. Arnold Caplin, on the liner notes to the album Hot Pianos 1926-1940 reports that Davenport started playing the piano at age 12. His family objected strongly to his musical aspirations and sent him to a theological seminary, where he was expelled for playing ragtime.
