He might be a cowboy, but I don't think he'll fly his plane into a building........2007-08-21
This is a book by Dirk Benedict aka Face aka Starbuck and so on. I couldn't find the book on Epinions, so I'm writing this as an opinion in general. If someone happens to know if this book is on Epinions, let me know, so I can move this. Please, don't rate it badly if you think it's placed wrong. I didn't mean it.:--(
I thought I was the only person on the planet that beat myself up for every little thing I did wrong, but Dirk has my act beat by a mile. I'm sure if you were to talk to him he would confess sins he was thinking about committing.
You have to wade through about three or four introductions to get to the heart of the book, but I can say it is well written. I can't say that I agree with all he says, but then that's me. If macrobiotics works for him then more power to him. Not everyone can follow the same diet program. It has to be made for the individual, at least that's what I believe.
One issue I didn't agree with is when he said that Gloria Swanson refused a hysterectomy and got along just fine. I don't think this can be said for all women. You just can't refuse a hysterectomy and things come out Ok. I am a shining example of that. I was told in 1999 that I needed a hysterectomy and I thought it was my body and I could do as I please. Well, in early 2003 I collapsed from severe anemia. My hematocrit was 25%, normal is 37-47 percent for a woman, 32-57 percent for a man. My hemoglobin was 7.2 and normal for a woman is over 12. I had to have two pints of whole blood. Needless to say that if I didn't get surgery I would have died. This was all because I refused to get the surgery I needed. And I want to add to that, I was BORN a vegetarian. I didn't have to have it taught to me and I've always been a health nut. I do, however, agree with him that doctors don't know everything. In this modern day and age you practically have to be medically educated before showing up for an appointment. I always research anything I'm diagnosed with to death before making any kind of decision.
Dirk takes you through the first twenty six years of his life and then spends the rest of the book repenting for them. He lives faithfully by the cause and affect theory which I have to say I do, too. I have always believed that what goes around comes around. Don't wish something bad on someone or you will get it, too. He keeps quoting this saying of "The back is as big as the front" which seems to mean for whatever you do that is wrong the punishment will be as bad. The trouble is, I think Dirk has over estimated what he has done wrong. When I read the book I got this vision of that albino (Silas) from The Devinci Code whipping his own back until it bled. If Dirk did this there would be no flesh left.
The book is interesting when he is telling about his life or the way he eats, but when it gets to the parts where he repents about it all hunker down.
Dirk has been hurt a lot in his life and he seems like he is scared sh*tless to try a relationship again. I really can't say I blame him. If you read the book, you'll know why. If I had been hurt that much, I'd give up relationships, too.
I recommend that anyone read this book. It is not graphic in any way. There is no bad language. He explains things very well. I just think he should forgive himself and forget. I have learned through reading this book that Dirk must be a very sensitive, loving person. He would be the kind of friend you'd want around in a pinch. But, Dirk, please, get down off the cross. You love carpentry. Make some bird houses out of the wood.
The most important things in Dirk's life are his boys, Montana, and the way he eats and judging by this book, he takes care of all of them quite well. Don't be afraid to buy it. You aren't wasting your money if you do. I thought the quirky title would be a reflection of the book and I was wrong. So, buy and read away.:-)
A Wonderful Eye-opening Book.......2007-06-19
If you have an open mind I highly recommend this book; and even if your mind is closed you might find yourself thinking differently after reading this book. We live in a society that over medicates it's people. Dirk's book shows his personal struggle with cancer and how by taking control of his health naturally through food and not medications he was able to fix the imbalance within his body and kick the cancer out. His stories of the ups and downs of life (relationships, Hollywood, etc) are very entertaining and enlightening. This book is an easy and great read. Just remember, the bigger the front the bigger the back, and don't forget to chew!
Love it or Hate it, but Please Don't Ignore It...........2006-12-31
We live in a yogi-riddled age, where just about every shmuck with enough coinage to open a curd stand, self-publish a book or fund an infomercial is out there preaching his or her own "enlightened" method of living, eating, sleeping, dieting, thinking, exercising or making love. Most of these people are cranks or con-men, and their advice is worth about as much as a bean-curd pastry at a Texas chili cook-off. Having read CONFESSIONS OF A KAMIKAZE COWBOY, I feel compelled to say that Dirk Benedict, former star of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and THE A-TEAM, is n-o-t one of them. You may not agree with everything he has to say, either on the medical establishment, diet or philosophy, but he tells an interesting story and makes a passionate and perhaps even credible argument for embracing a totally different way of relating to the world.
Benedict was born in rural Montana (hence: COWBOY) and grew up on what might be referred to as an all-meat diet, a diet he later blamed for his arthritis, acne, receding hairline and ultimately, for his prostatic cancer, and CONFESSIONS is largely an examination of his lifelong journey to really grasp the meaning of the phrase, "You are what you eat." The book is subtitled "A True Story of Discovery, Acting, Health, Recovery and Life" and on every part but the "Acting" this is true. Readers hoping for the inside story on his up-and-down career in front of the camera will be disappointed, for with the exception of some anecdotes about getting cast as Starbuck on GALACTICA and a hilarious recollection of his guest appearance on CHARLIE'S ANGELS he has almost nothing to say about Hollywood (except, of course, for its pill-popping, soul-destroying culture). This lends credence to his oft-repeated mantra that he really doesn't give a damn about acting, fame or money, which is kind of refreshing from a guy whose looks certainly should have made him as superficial as a nightly news segment.
In CONFESSIONS, Dirk preaches the virtues of a macrobiotic diet, which ain't easy, because macrobiotics is/are one of the toughest culinary disciplines out there, eschewing all animal flesh, all dairy, all caffine and alcohol drinks, all sugar, all flour products, all fruits, nuts, and oils (with one or two exceptions), and all tropical vegetables, in favor of "50 - 60% whole grains, 20 - 30 % cooked vegetables, 5 - 10 % soups, 5 - 10 % beans and bean products, and 5 - 10 % cooked sea vegetables." The only acceptable beverages are water and a couple non-stimulant teas, such as bancha or seaweed. (In other words, jack-all.) Hand-in-hand with a macrobiotic diet, however, Dirk also preaches a macrobiotic way of life, founded on the principles of yin and yang (hence: KAMIKAZE) which, if I may reduce it to a phrase, stresses a life dedicated to the understanding and examination of causes, rather than the treatment and reaction to effects.
Dirk's grudges, against American culture specifically and modern society generally, are numerous and bitter. Like Kevin Trudeau, who has made untold gazillions with his NATURAL CURES books, Benedict puts a steel-toed boot up the a*s of organized Christianity, the medical establishment, the dairy association, the drug concerns, the fast-food and sugar-soda empires, and so on. Like Trudeau, he blames our diet and consumerist, materialist, effects-driven culture for all the evils of the world, from rape and cancer to wars and nuclear proliferation. Diet, he maintains, is the essential, the central, the first cause of all behaviors and world-outlooks, and a diet laden with garbage causes not merely physical disease - like he had - but emotional and spiritual disease as well. Through a macrobiotic approach, Dirk purged his body of a life-accumulation of toxins and whupped his migraines, his impotence, his receding hairline, his acne, his arthritis and finally, his cancer. And the proof's in the pudding - he quotes his stats as of 2005 as: pulse 45 (!), bp 106/60, cholesterol 145. He adds gleefully that he never gets tired, hasn't had a headache in 15 years, sleeps like rock, and has the sex drive of a 18 year old. Dirk ain't stupid, he knows sex sells, and if he is ultra-sparing with details of his acting career, he makes no bones about how it greased the wheels of an envy-inducing sex life.
To be sure, D.B. has some out-there ideas and not a few of his opinions had me doing the oh-come-on dance, but the same charm he exuded on TV as "Starbuck" and "Faceman" glosses over even his more obnoxious moments, such as when he claims that rape is a side-effect of bad diet or that nobody gets anything in life he doesn't deserve. On the whole however his writing style is erudite and enjoyable. If he often bogs down in pseudo-profundity, he just as often entertains with wonderfully mean-spirited assaults on all the soulless b*stards in the world that profit from obesity, disease and human vice generally. His ultimate attitude is, "If you want to know what's in my 'medicine cabinet', look in my kitchen."
Most people are either too brainwashed by modern corporate Kultur, with its never-ending emphasis on bigger-faster-more, or too unwilling to give up everything that seems worthwhile in the fridge just to add a few years to the back-end of their lives, to follow Benedict down his path. I'm not sure it's for me, either, but I'm willing to take a few steps and see where it goes....
Good Bio, funny diet...........2006-12-22
I think Dirk has a great story, and I think he tells it really well. He writes about the macrobiotic diet, and I will not eat that way, but I found his stories very entertaining. It was a good read, and I did enjoy it. If you are looking for real-life stories about healing yourself with food, then this is a good book.
Great book for everybody!.......2006-02-06
This is an excellent book. Dirk is an excellent author. This was the quickest read of non-fiction I have had in years. It is great getting a point of view of others, especially, when they write in a down-to-earth style you can understand. Dirk seems to be that kind of guy.
If you are looking for a bit-by-bit blow from Battlestar Galactica or the A-Team...forget it. He only tells us a little about his work. I wish he would have written more because the few parts there were a great read.
This book is mainly about how Dirk fought cancer using macrobiotics. After reading this book I am not a convert, but I learned a lot. I learned that I and most Americans need to greatly reduce our intake of fatty meat and triple our intake of good vegetables. More veggies, a balanced diet and less caffeine and alcohol all lead to a healthier person.
I do not totally agree with him on his views on modern medicine. Yes, there are many quacks out there who think that they can solve any problem you have with a pill, you get addicted to that pill and then you're hooked. But evidence shows that we are living longer today despite our intake of unhealthy food. I think we can thank some doctors and scientists for that.
For me, the power of this book was the fact that Dirk took control of his life that, to him, seemed out of control. And it does seem like his method helped beat his disease.
I hope we have more offerings from Dirk, not only on the screen, but more literary works as well.
Book Description
On August 5, 1964, while Lt. (jg) Everett Alvarez was flying a retaliatory air strike against naval targets in North Vietnam, antiaircraft fire crippled his A-4 fighter-bomber, forcing him to eject over water at low altitude. Alvarez relates the engrossing tale of his capture by fishermen, brutal treatment by the North Vietnamese, physical and mental endurance, and triumphant repatriation nearly nine years later in 1973.
Alvarez spent more time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam than any other flier. As Senator John McCain, a fellow POW, has written, “During his captivity, Ev exhibited a courage, compassion, and indomitable will that was an inspiration to us all.†Indeed, the book, which was written with Anthony S. Pitch, is remarkable for its lack of rancor. Alvarez directs his strongest words against the small number of POWs who broke ranks and collaborated with the enemy. As one reviewer wrote, Alvarez “relates the misery of his condition with a detachment that robs it of its shock value.†Chained Eagle also tells the story of the Alvarez family’s ordeal during his years of imprisonment: His sister became an anitwar activist, his wife divorced him, and relatives died. Yet throughout his time as a prisoner of war, Alvarez remained duty-bound and held steadfast to his religious faith and the values enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

The Life of U.S.'s First Vietnam POW.......2007-01-09
Everett Alvarez Jr. has given us his inspirational experience as America's first military Vietnam POW. He details his early life, then gets right to his mission over North Vietnam, his plane being downed, his subsequent capture and captivity and, finally, his release and "Return With Honor". There are a number of books written by Vietnam POWs, but this one is noteworthy because he was the first (1964) and the longest held. He speaks hauntingly of his depravation and torture, but he doesn't delve on it. This is a positive book where Alvarez shows us how he endured for so long. Of interest is his faith; how it helped him cope. Meanwhile the book often shifts back to his family here, first awaiting news of his fate and then later, when they find he is alive, his release. Well-written and inspiring... a great take.
CHAINED EAGLE.......2006-10-19
The story is a story that should be mandatory reading for all high school and college students. The lessons, actions, values and principles in the life of Alvarez are what heroes are made of and an inspiration and example to all.
The book is well written. One feels as though he is living through the ordeal of the POW story.
Good family story, no hero.......2006-05-31
Alvarez was shot down on the FIRST day of the Gulf of Tonkin airstrikes! Hero, no. Lucky, yes. Strong will to survive, yes. So are the hundreds of other POWs. What makes Alvarez unique? The first one to get shot down? Hardly a hero.
Vivid and Well Written Story from a True Survivor.......2005-07-18
"Chained Eagle" is the story of Lieutenant (j.g.) Everett Alvarez. He was a pilot from the U.S.S. "Constellation", shot down over Hon Gai, North Vietnam on August 5, 1964. In fact, Alvarez was downed during the very first bombing sortie of the Indochina War. He remained imprisoned until the general release of all POWs in the Spring of 1973. This reviewer remembers President Johnson announcing the missions at the still bizarre time of 11 p.m. Eastern Time, interrupting a Mets game. (It was never completely clear if LBJ's broadcast came before the actual raids. Doing so would have given the North a free advance warning). The very strongest aspect of CE is how strongly it is written. The portrayals of prison life are more vivid than any other POW accounts this reviewer has read. There is a sharp focus on the food. It was painful to read of how POWs competed with the rats and ants for the slop left outside their cells. By the time permission to actually eat was given, "others" had sampled the stuff! One can only imagine how hungry these guys must have been and desperate for any semblance of decent chow! Alvarez' conditions were tolerable initially but quickly deteriorated as more pilots were downed and subsequently captured. Conditions improved later in the War as America -belatedly! -began to demand better treatment of the prisoners. The Son Tay raid of 1970 also was directly responsible for better conditions because it led North Vietnam to consolidate most Americans into the larger Hanoi area prisons. There was definite safety in numbers, along with a supportive command structure. Another strong aspect of CE is the interspersed reports of how the Alvarez family was faring at home! One deduces a strong effort from co-author Pitch here, since Alvarez was imprisoned 15, 000 miles away. It was not all sweetness and light back in California. CE reminds the reader sharply that the families on the home front suffered too. It is true that Alvarez' wife deserted him while he was imprisoned and that his sister was a serious demonstrator against the War. However the author very quickly pulled his life together again once repatriated, rising above those sharp adversities. This reviewer was surprised to read of two collaborators, both officers, one a Marine LTC! Also, by the end of 1972, many of the newly shot down pilots had turned lukewarm regarding the War. Some rooted for Senator George McGovern (D-SD) in the '72 Presidential Election! The bottom line for CE is that it is one more entry in that solid lineup of POW/MIA accounts. America should always remember the struggles these men endured. We should also acknowledge the 1800+ still unaccounted for in the 4 Indochina countries, plus 6 men in China. Those of us Vets who came back to the World intact should count our blessings daily.
An incredible memoir of POW captivity..............2003-04-13
On August 5th, 1964, Lieutenant j.g. Everett Alvarez Jr. was shot down over North Vietnam and became the first U.S. aviator to be taken captive in the Vietnam conflict. Held in confinement for eight and a half years, he would be recorded as the longest held POW second only to Army Captain Jim Thompson.
Spending the entire Vietnam war as a POW, Alvarez was held at different times in the Hanoi Hilton, Briarpatch, and Zoo prison compounds. It would be a year until he finally had contact with other American POW's and much of that first year was in solitary confinement.
Approaching 2 years of captivity, Alvarez and his fellow servicemen were subjected to brutal and sadistic tortures amidst inhumane living conditions for the duration of their stay. Forced to eat vermin infested food and given negligible medical care, he suffered frequently from Dysentery, Beri-Beri, Hepatitis, and other afflictions.
Far along into captivity, Alvarez finally received mail from his family concerning events at home. Sadly, he was to learn that one of his sisters had become an anti-war activist and in what must have seemed like one of the worst examples of betrayal and cruelty, his wife divorced him and then remarried.
During the worst of times, Alvarez never wavered in his beliefs of pride, patriotism, and self-determination to survive and continually assisted his fellow POW's as they assisted him. Upon a joyous and welcome return home, he diligently and proudly re-entered society with his honor and integrity intact culminating with his second marriage to a wonderful woman that made his life complete.
Chained Eagle is an exceptionally good book of one man's heroic struggle and endurance in the face of complete despair and hopelessness. Vividly poignant, inspirational, and heartfelt, this book is deserving of much more than five stars and is very highly recommended to everyone.

Book Description
In Immigrant Acts, Lisa Lowe argues that understanding Asian immigration to the United States is fundamental to understanding the racialized economic and political foundations of the nation. Lowe discusses the contradictions whereby Asians have been included in the workplaces and markets of the U.S. nation-state, yet, through exclusion laws and bars from citizenship, have been distanced from the terrain of national culture.
Lowe argues that a national memory haunts the conception of Asian American, persisting beyond the repeal of individual laws and sustained by U.S. wars in Asia, in which the Asian is seen as the perpetual immigrant, as the “foreigner-within.” In Immigrant Acts, she argues that rather than attesting to the absorption of cultural difference into the universality of the national political sphere, the Asian immigrant—at odds with the cultural, racial, and linguistic forms of the nation—displaces the temporality of assimilation. Distance from the American national culture constitutes Asian American culture as an alternative site that produces cultural forms materially and aesthetically in contradiction with the institutions of citizenship and national identity. Rather than a sign of a “failed” integration of Asians into the American cultural sphere, this critique preserves and opens up different possibilities for political practice and coalition across racial and national borders.
In this uniquely interdisciplinary study, Lowe examines the historical, political, cultural, and aesthetic meanings of immigration in relation to Asian Americans. Extending the range of Asian American critique, Immigrant Acts will interest readers concerned with race and ethnicity in the United States, American cultures, immigration, and transnationalism.

Must Read.......2005-11-26
Anyone with an interest in Asian American history, politics, and culture needs to read this book. A courageous effort to synthesize and contextualize the Asian American experience.
academically rigorous, and perhaps not an intro text?.......2005-09-16
With so many negative reviews of this book, I feel the need to give some context.
About the difficulty of the language: first, those reading this text should note that you will be entering mid-stream into an academic conversation already taking place between marxism, poststructuralism, feminism and Asian American cultural politics (among other strands of thought). Academic language at its best helps us conceptualize in new ways, and like any language, we need to learn it.
Second, as readers we should also be careful to not project what might be our own anti-intellectualism onto the texts we read. There are reasons why this book is a classic Asian American Studies text. Stick with it, and familiarize yourself with the different theoretical frameworks that are woven into it. There are many theoretical and practical insights to be gained from Lowe's work that are relevant to thinking about Asian American cultural politics.
Pain........2003-11-12
When my favorite professor assigned "Immigrant Acts" for an Independent Study on race, immigration and labor, he said, rather dryly, "I'll just throw that in there to see if it pisses you off."
I've read plenty of bad academic writing, but Lowe astounded me anew. "Turgid," "bloated," "ponderous," and "pompous" are adjectives that came to mind as I attempted to claw meaning from her prose. It's that bleeding awful.
Certainly clearer, more graceful, and far less alienating ways to convey these ideas exist (and no, they aren't dumbed-down). Why, oh why, do some academics *insist* on torturing their readers like this? The self-consciously opaque language does nothing to add substance or authority to Lowe's argument. If anything, it weakens it; there are only so many times the reader can exclaim, "Oh, so *that's* what she meant! Why didn't she just say it?" before weary contempt kicks in.
Had my professor not insisted I read it, I would have ditched "Immigrant Acts" without regret. He was right--this book *did* piss me off, but in the wrong way. It wasn't the ideas or the argument that provoked me; it was the utter lack of regard for the reader.
I did find Lowe's arguments intriguing once I managed to translate them, and I particularly liked Chapter 4, which critiques official productions of multiculturalism. Yet I'm still not entirely sure the work required was worth it. I also suspect there are finer points that I missed altogether, but since Lowe can't be bothered to present them clearly, I don't care to go back and try to find them.
So gnarled with big words and long sentences..........2001-11-04
I had to read this for my Theories of Race course at Mills College, and after the class collectively ranted against this structural disaster, I am sure the professor won't use it again. Lowe knows of what she speaks, but can you decipher it? We couldn't. And, it is unfortunate, as she is obviously a leader in her field. I resent scholars making things overly difficult, as it alienates the reader - and boy, did Lowe do a fabulous job with that! I suggest reading Ron Takaki if you want a good, very rewarding look at ethnicity in America. He rocks! Lowe rocks...somewhere, but not here. (meow!)
from a former Lisa Lowe student.......2000-11-08
Personally, I feel that Professor Lowe is very insightful about theory, the Asian American experience, colonialism, identity politics, cultural criticism. etc. I learned a lot from her as a student and after reading this book, I continue to learn from her. I think Immigrant Acts deserves a 5 star rating for academic merit.
BUT, it has been 5 years since I taken one of her courses and I have forgotten how jargon filled her language can be. After being away from academia, reading this book was a daunting task. As much as I respect this text, I feel that it is unfortunate that Professor Lowe cannot relate to a general audience. She is definitely (intentionally or unintentionally) catering to fellow scholars. She has a lot to say and offer her reading public. Its too bad that most people can not understand her. I give only one star for writing style and being reader friendly. Sorry, Professor Lowe.
Book Description
Vast areas of valuable resources unfettered by legal rights have, for centuries, been the central target of human exploitation and appropriation. The global commons-Antarctica, the high seas and deep seabed minerals, the atmosphere, and space-have remained exceptions only because access has been difficult or impossible, and the technology for successful extraction has been lacking. Now, technology has caught up with desire, and management regimes are needed to guide human use of these important resource domains.
In The Global Commons, Susan Buck considers the history of human interactions with each of the global commons areas and provides a concise yet thorough account of the evolution of management regimes for each area. She explains historical underpinnings of international law, examines the stakeholders involved, and discusses current policy and problems associated with it.
Buck applies key analytical concepts drawn from institutional analysis and regime theory to examine how legal and political concerns have affected the evolution of management regimes for the global commons. She presents in-depth case studies of each of the four regimes, outlining the historical evolution of the commons-development of interest in exploiting the resource domain; conflicts among nations over the use of the commons; and efforts to design institutions to control access to the domains and to regulate their use-and concluding with a description of the management regime that eventually emerged from the informal and formal negotiations.
The Global Commons provides a clear, useful introduction to the subject that will be of interest to general readers as well as to students in international relations and international environmental law, and in environmental law and policy generally.

Good Overview of The Global Commons.......2007-01-04
Susan Buck's book is a good overview of the conecptal framework associated with the growing awarness of The Global Commons. While the book covers a lot of subject matter setting forth international regime formation and the framework for analysis lightly, it does give a well-informed overview of the commons relating to space, the atmosphere, the oceans, and Antarica. This book would make a great political science text read in undergraduate colleges and universities. In fact, relevance is quite timely. I trust that this book is being read by students throughout the United States today. It certainly should be.
Easy-to-read, interesting, informative.......2000-04-02
This is a very informative and up-to-date book which makes me read right to the end, without stopping. Each chapter prompts me to read the next one. It deals very in depth about the current geopolitical issues affecting our world today - the air, the sea, the space and technology. It also gives a good case study about Antartica. very few geopolitical books that I have read has made such a deep analysis on such immediate issues. Not too intimidating for the reader who has little geopolitical know-how because of its explanation of current concepts and definitions (in the first chapter) as well as a glossary of key terms used.
