Since at least 1971, when he published a seminal article on constitutional interpretation in the Indiana Law Journal, Robert Bork has been the legal and moral conscience of America, reminding us of our founding principles and their cultural foundation. The scourge of liberal ideologues both before and after Ronald Reagan nominated him for the Supreme Court in 1987, Bork has for fifty years unwaveringly exposed—and explained—the hypocrisy and dereliction of duty endemic among our nation’s elites, the politicization and adversary activism of our courts, and the consequent degradation of American society.Now, for the first time, Judge Bork has gathered together his most important and prophetic writings in A Time to Speak, including a foreword and commentary by the author. The volume includes more than sixty vintage Bork contributions on topics ranging from President Nixon to St. Thomas More, from abortion to antitrust policy, and from civil liberties to natural law. It also includes several of his judicial opinions and transcribed oral arguments. A Time to Speak is an indispensable book for all who have harkened to the truths spoken so forthrightly, in season and out, by this great American original.

In this trail-blazing book, acclaimed consultant David Bork provides a fascinating, candid look inside the workings of family business. He shows how family businesses combine the pressures of business with the complex psychological and social problems that almost every family faces: sibling rivalries, clashes over values and expectations, drug and alcohol abuse, in-law problems, and more. Drawing on his experiences as a counselor to over 200 family-run businesses, Bork shows how families can surmount these difficulties and make life in a family business both profitable and personally satisfying. Using the concept of the "family system," Bork explains how families either overtly or subconsciously develop and enforce their own traditions and values, often to the detriment of the family enterprise. He shows how the entrepreneurial founder can sow the seeds of lasting success--or sudden collapse--for the family business. He provides much needed guidance for developing a workable succession plan, and he shows how in-laws, children, spouses, and outsiders can be effectively integrated into the business.
