Produktbeschreibung

When Christopher Straw was a little boy in Fort Littleton, Pennsylvania, he wanted to be the first man to land on the moon. That was before the advent of Astronauts. He never reached the moon but when he grew up he was heavily involved in the new industry of U.S. space exploration.When Anna Lane was a little girl in Charleston, South Carolina she craved to have a career as an actress who would have roles singing and dancing in Broadway musicals and in Hollywood movies. She achieved those objectives early in life with the addition of being in a new medium called television where she became a star.When Raj Bhavnani was a little boy living on the outskirts of Sholapur, India, he wanted to appear knowledgeable in any and all things with the objective of eventually becoming a world leader, even beyond Mahatma Ghandi. To have such a triumph, he wanted to first travel to lands beyond India. As an adult, many of his passions became realized.Raising the Baton is written as though the reader is in a first-row seat at a concert and the conductor has taken his standing position at the podium. He faces the orchestra; his back to the audience, and with one stroke the baton is watched by all those in attendance. The fuller and unlimited meaning for the three major figures is recorded within the book.
