Matheny The Man‚ the myth‚ the legend: Mike Matheny. Mike Matheny is a man who marks his word and will always be remembered far past his time. I did my novel review on New York Times Bestseller: The Matheny Manifesto‚ which is an autobiography that tells a young manager’s old-school views on success in sports and life.

The Nightingale and the Rose (analysis) How would you describe love? If you were to explain it to someone‚ how would you do it? Although love‚ like every other emotion‚ is different from person to person‚ I believe that this short story‚ The Nightingale and the Rose‚ does a pretty good job of describing it.
