Ironically, the U.S. Congress that initially imposed gift and estate taxation ALSO created alleviating rules allowing for Private Split Dollar strategies and other wealth-preservation planning methods, yet it seems as if the latter were implemented quietly and with a subtlety reserved for those with the diligence to look into the depths of the law to find them. As a veteran advisor to some of the largest estates in the world, I took it upon myself, years ago, to study the rules and look for opportunities which I believe were given to anyone with the will to seek and find! As a veteran financial service professional, I can tell you that such opportunities are meant to be used and this is because they promote wealth and the preservation of hard-earned legacies as they should. If you have any doubts as to your right to take advantage of Private Split Dollar strategies, the IDGT and the rest, you can put those doubts to rest, knowing that, for many years, I have helped the corporate moguls, superstar entertainers and titans of the sporting world use these very same methods to preserve their wealth. Similarly, for many decades and beyond, great houses of wealth owned and controlled by the likes of the Rockefellers and Carnegies have employed experts like me to implement trust strategies not unlike the ones in this book.

This examination of dark comedies of the 1970s focuses on films which concealed black humor behind a misleading genre label. All That Jazz (1979) is a musical...about death--hardly Fred and Ginger territory. This masking goes beyond misnomer to a breaking of formula that director Robert Altman called "anti-genre." Altman's MASH (1970) ridiculed the military establishment in general--the Vietnam War in particular--under the guise of a standard military service comedy. The picaresque Western Little Big Man (1970) turned the bluecoats vs. Indians formula upside-down--the audience roots for the Indians instead of the cavalry. The book covers 12 essential films, including Harold and Maude (1971), Slaughterhouse-Five (1972), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Being There (1979), with notes on A Clockwork Orange (1971). These films reveal a compounding complexity that reinforces the absurdity at the heart of dark comedy.

It has been noted by researchers from a variety of backgrounds that the dominant social research paradigms have frequently failed to represent the viewpoints of many marginalized groups. The authors of this collection confront this imbalance by looking at how issues such as ethnicity, sexual orientation and identity, disability, gender and ethnicity, and health and old age can be addressed in research conducted among groups who may often be the objects of research, but who seldom have control over what is said about them. Containing sections written by contributors from a variety of backgrounds, cultures and nationalities, the chapters explore ways in which issues of social diversity and division within the research process might be addressed. While considering whether this might be done through an emancipatory research paradigm, the book also examines the philosophical tenets and methodological implications of such an approach.
