Academy Award-winning actor and author Alan Arkin tells a brilliant tale in this young-adult novel, The Lemming Condition.

The story provides a superb lesson on conformity, free thinking and personal accountability.

Is anybody out there, and what do they want with us? In June 1992, veteran reporter C.D.B. Bryan attended the Abduction Study Conferences at M.I.T. In this remarkable audio program, Bryan recalls the 4 days of the conference, during which he met with scientists, psychiatrists, physicians, and folklorists who have studied the growing phenomenon of alien abductions. He also retells the stories of men and women in attendance who claimed they had been abducted and examined by spindly limbed, telepathic gray creatures aboard extraterrestrial spacecraft. The author examines the validity of these accounts and what might be happening if the stories are not true.
