The memories of some men are valuable to all of us. The varied experiences of their lives and their contact with great people and events instruct and enrich us and, when thoughtfully considered, give us wisdom for the future. One such man is Bob Jones, chancellor of Bob Jones University. In Cornbread and Caviar he reviews his life, discussing both its simple and its unusual aspects -- the cornbread and the caviar -- and presenting them in a most informative and entertaining manner. - Back cover.

Cornbread and Caviar

"The four novellas in this book were written in 2018, a pre-covid age which today seems almost innocently trouble-free compared to the current virus-induced social, political and economic upheavals the world is grappling with. On the plus side, the lockdown allowed opportunity and time for me to re-read these stories and tidy them up for publication. Regardless of the contemporary turmoil, one thing remains constant and that is the importance of laughter. So Heaven sent laughs about religion's absurdity, Modern society about the art world's gullibility and pretentiousness, and most important of all, The last judgement about the modern scourge of contrived offence-taking and the clamour by attention-seekers to regiment everyone's thinking. Finally, there's Risk and reward, a short crime story with a catch"--Introduction.

From 'A Low Blow' to 'Went the Distance', a fascinating and lively examination of the regular use of terms from the boxing ring in our everyday language. Have you ever stopped to notice how often your local newspaper or favourite magazine uses the terms 'On the Ropes', 'The Gloves Are Off' and 'Knockout Punch'? How often TV newsreaders will say that a politician has "Thrown His hat in the Ring', is a 'Big Hitter', is 'Taking it on the Chin', is 'Down for the Count' or has the 'Killer Instinct'? Knight of the realm, leading businessman, colourful and controversial commentator, and boxing aficionado Sir Robert - Bob -Jones certainly has. Over a period of years he made careful note of how often terms cropped up and then retraced their etymological origins in boxing history. The result is a lively, entertaining, and thought-provoking miscellany of boxing terms that are now part of our everyday English language. Some have strayed far from their original meanings, others are more frequently in use now than at any other time. Jones asks why that might be, and his answers are, well, a knockout.

University degrees should be for everyone. Not just for some self- appointed elite who study obscure stuff like Classics, History and Mediaeval Studies. Universities need to offer a range of subjects that will ensure anyone can get a degree in something - it's purely a matter of responding to modern market forces.
