Download or read book Call Me Tom written by James N. Giglio and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Call Me Tom is the first book-length biography of one of Missouri’s most successful senators. A moderate liberal in a conservative state, Thomas F. Eagleton was known for his political independence, integrity, and intelligence, likely the reasons Eagleton never once lost an election in his thirty years of public service. Born in St. Louis, Eagleton began his public career in 1956 as St. Louis Circuit Attorney. At 27, he was the youngest person in the history of the state to hold that position, and he duplicated the feat in his next two elected positions, attorney general in 1960 and lieutenant governor in 1964. In 1968, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served until 1987. He was thrown into the national spotlight in 1972 when revelations regarding his mental health, particularly the shock treatments he received for depression, forced his resignation as a vice presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. All of that would overshadow his significant contributions as senator, especially on environmental and social legislation, as well as his defense of Congressional authority on war making and his role in the U. S. military disengagement from Southeast Asia in 1973. Respected biographer James N. Giglio provides readers with an encompassing and nuanced portrait of Eagleton by placing the man and his career in the context of his times. Giglio allows readers to see his rumpled suits, smell the smoke of his Pall Mall cigarettes, hear his gravelly voice, and relish his sense of humor. At the same time, Giglio does not shy away from the personal torments that Eagleton had to overcome. A definitive examination of the senator’s career also reveals his unique ability to work with Republican counterparts, especially prior to the 1980s when bipartisanship was more possible. Measuring the effect his mental illness had on his career, Giglio determines that the removal of aspirations for higher office in 1972 made Eagleton a better senator. He consistently took principled stands, with the ultimate goal of preserving and modernizing the agenda of Franklin D. Roosevelt, his favorite president. Thoroughly researched using the Eagleton Papers and interviews with more than eighty-five people close to Eagleton, including family, friends, colleagues, subordinates, and former classmates, Call Me Tom offers an engaging and in-depth portrayal of a man who remained a devoted public servant throughout his life.
Download or read book Trooper Down written by Marie Bartlett and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a trooper’s worst nightmare. What begins as a routine patrol suddenly turns violent when someone pulls a weapon. Moments later, the trooper is down—wounded or dead. Then, like a swarm of angry bees, every other trooper on the force mobilizes to catch the suspect. Whether they’re issuing a ticket for speeding “just a little” over the limit or conducting an all-out manhunt, the people who have chosen this perilous and demanding profession are rarely revealed as vividly or candidly as they are here. In Trooper Down! Marie Bartlett uses her gripping hell-for-leather style to paint a fascinating portrait of one of the nation’s most elite law-enforcement agencies. In interviews and anecdotes, troopers relate stories of narrow misses, breathtaking confrontations, strange and hilarious encounters with various “crazies,” and, most heartbreakingly, working the wrecks—aiding the injured and dying in highway accidents—while troopers’ wives and widows tell of the heart-wrenching realities trooper families face. Through this remarkable book, we not only comprehend the life of a trooper, we are unforgettably there.

Book excerpt: A USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A Best Book of 2023(Vulture) • A Best Horror Book of All Time (Cosmopolitan) • A Best Horror Book of 2023 (Esquire) • An Indie Next Pick • A LibraryReads Hall of Fame Pick! The author of The Last House on Needless Street, Catriona Ward, delivers a masterful story about friendship and betrayal, dark obsessions, and the impossibility of escaping your own story. "Here's your next obsession." (Kelly Link, author of Get In Trouble) In a cottage overlooking the windswept Maine coast, Wilder Harlow has begun the last book he will ever write. It is the story about the sun-drenched summer days of his youth in Whistler Bay, and the blood-stained path of the killer that stalked his small vacation town. About the terrible secret he and his companions, Nat and Harper, discovered entombed in the coves off the bay. And how the pact they swore that day echoed down the decades, forever shaping their lives. But the more Wilder writes, the less he trusts himself and his memory. He starts to see things that can’t be real – notes hidden in the cabin, from an old friend now dead; a woman with dark hair drowning in the icy waters below, calling for help; entire chapters he doesn’t recall typing, appearing overnight. Who, or what, is haunting Wilder? No longer able to trust his own eyes, Wilder begins to fear that this will not only be his last book, but the last thing he ever does. “An origami puzzle of a book, the mystery so beautifully crafted you don’t see the folds, with edges sharp as a paper cut.”—Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Download or read book The Accidental Pope written by Ray Flynn and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former US Ambassador to the Vatican and the bestselling author of The French Connection join forces to write an unforgettable, compelling novel about a humble fisherman who is elected as the next Pope. Locked in a stalemate after days of voting, the College of Cardinals struggles through the arduous process of electing a new pope after the death of Pope John Paul II. In an effort to break the impasse at the conclave, Brian Comiskey, Cardinal Primate of All Ireland, in a stunning surprise development, withdraws from the race. Explaining his decision, he offers an anecdote about being among a boat load of clerics who were caught in an unexpected storm, then miraculously rescued by his friend Bill Kelly, a former priest and now a Cape Cod fisherman. The next day at the Sistine Chapel, still undecided about who they should vote for, the Cardinals smile to themselves as they cast what they think are throw-away symbolic votes for Bill Kelly--but no one is laughing when he is elected Pope. Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, Bill Kelly is on his boat at sea when he has a very clear and disturbing revelation: God is once again calling him to serve his Church. Thus begins the reign of the first American Pope. Written with the style of bestselling novelist Robin Moore and the political brilliance and authority of former U. S. Ambassador Raymond Flynn, The Accidental Pope is not a religious book about politics, nor a political book about religion, but a story that gives insight into the Vatican and the role of the Holy See in world events. The Accidental Pope is a globetrotting tale full of suspense, drama, and humor.

Download or read book Professional Responsibility written by Nathan M. Crystal and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 1057 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for helping students develop the ability to make sound judgments and to develop a philosophy of lawyering, the concise Professional Responsibility: Problems of Practice and the Profession, Seventh Edition, is adaptable to a host of teaching styles. Scores of realistic problems call on students to develop a cogent philosophy of lawyering as they master basic concepts and prepare for the MPRE. Modular, flexible organization allows professors to adapt the material to a variety of courses and clinical programs. In particular, the book is structured to enable instructors to present the materials doctrinally or by area of practice. New to the Seventh Edition: New author Grace Giesel (Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law) has joined the book. Throughout the book the authors have inserted Rule Reviews. A Rule Review is a set of questions designed to walk the students through the important facets of the Model Rule of Professional Conduct at issue. The Rule Reviews are designed to ensure the students review and thus capture the parameters of the reviewed rules. The authors provide answers to the questions at the back of the book, so the students can self-assess their learning. The Rule Reviews are in addition to the Chapter Assessment Questions that follow each chapter. The authors have revised this edition to present the textual material with more headings and thus in smaller blocks of narrative. This change is intended to assist students in sorting and organizing the material as they learn and to assist instructors in directing the class discussion. The book has been updated to include: All recent changes to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, including the ABA’s substantial revision of the advertising rules. Relevant recent ABA Formal Opinions. The book has been revised to include recent developments such as: The legal industry’s renewed focus on sexual harassment and discrimination, in part a result of the #MeToo movement (Ch. 8). Alternate litigation funding (Ch. 2). Advance Waivers (Ch. 4). The effect of the presence of third parties on the attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine (Ch. 3). Recent developments regarding ineffective assistance of counsel (Ch. 2). Recent developments regarding technology (Ch. 3). The authors have attempted to make the book as relevant to the students of 2020 as possible. To that end, they include problems and material that are up-to-date and, in some cases, “ripped from the headlines,” such as: Material about the involvement of David Boies in the Theranos debacle. An excerpt of Michael Cohen’s statement to the court before sentencing. Problem 3-5 now deals with the threat and response of a law firm to cyberattack. Professors and students will benefit from: Realistic problems that develop students’ ability to make sound judgments. Emphasis on guiding students to articulate a cogent philosophy of lawyering. Innovative, flexible organization suited to a variety of courses and clinical programs. Organized by major doctrinal concepts, such as confidentiality and conflicts of interest. Offers alternative organization by area of practice. Modular organization for professor choice. Manageable length. Multiple choice assessment questions and answers located at the end of each chapter to prepare students for the MPRE.
