About the Book

One hundred years ago the huddled masses of the world poured through the gates of Ellis Island and headed west to seek their fortunes in the wilderness. They were, almost without exception, the deprived, the dispossessed and the discontented. Behind them they left societies where talent went unrewarded, where education and advancement were the monopoly of a few, where rigid class systems, authoritarian governments, corrupt and self- seeking legislatures and moribund religious institutions conspired to keep them on the bottom rungs of the ladder. In front of them lay a land in which everything was possible- a land in which the pioneer was king and any man or woman, regardless of their origins, could use their talents and industry to raise themselves to prominence and their country to greatness. One hundred years later, much has changed. The pioneers of yesterday are the lawyers of today. The rigid class system of the Old World has been replaced by the professional class system of the New. Ellis Island is closed to all but tourists. The United States government no longer welcomes huddled masses: It actively discourages them. Private Screening describes a 20 year odyssey which took Bill Touzani from California to the French Riviera, from the red-light district of Amsterdam to the South African men of steel, from Arabian sheikdoms to an Israeli Kibbutz. His goal, as he saw it, was to make this world a slightly easier place to live in. But he reckoned without the destructive force of the new American establishment and a legislative which now favors corporate stability above individual initiative. William Touzani was born in French Morocco and spent his teenage years shuffling from Casablanca and Paris. As a world class swimmer, he competed around the world before receiving a swimming scholarship at La Salle College in Philadelphia. He later found employment with Honeywell, GE, Siemens and Picker. In 1986, he was issued his first utility patent, which he licensed to General Food's Kool-Aid, to Germany's Capri-Sun, and to other multinationals. He was subsequently awarded over 100 patents. In 1991, he moved to the Netherlands where he managed an advertising agency. He presently works for the US government.
