Book excerpt: Harry feels downtrodden. Downtrodden by senior management, who have decided to retire him, and by his meddling, sex-obsessed father in law. But mostly by his wife, Hilda. And she tells him they must retire to Cornwall. There is talk of reconnection, but neither can remember being connected in the first place. Harry takes up a creative writing course, through which he can live out his fantasies - fantasies of murdering his wife. But Hilda reads his story and, lost on Bodmin Moor, is confronted with devil worshippers, a convicted call centre worker with a habit of cutting off fingers, and a birdwatching hitman. In her absence, and befuddled by his writing tutor's hallucinogenic muffins, Harry looks very guilty indeed.
Download or read book Harry A Blackmun written by Tinsley Yarbrough and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When appointed to the Supreme Court in 1970 by President Nixon, Harry A. Blackmun was seen as a quiet, safe choice to complement the increasingly conservative Court of his boyhood friend, Warren Burger. No one anticipated his seminal opinion championing abortion rights in Roe v. Wade, the most controversial ruling of his generation, which became the battle cry of both supporters and critics of judicial power and made Blackmun a liberal icon. Harry A. Blackmun: The Outsider Justice is Tinsley E. Yarbrough's penetrating account of one of the most outspoken and complicated figures on the Supreme Court. As a justice, Blackmun stood at the pinnacle of the American judiciary. Yet when he took his seat on the Court, Justice Blackmun felt "almost desperate," overwhelmed with feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy over the immense responsibilities before him. Blackmun had overcome humble roots to achieve a Harvard education, success as a Minneapolis lawyer and resident counsel to the prestigious Mayo Clinic, as well as a distinguished record on the Eighth Circuit federal appeals court. But growing up in a financially unstable home with a frequently unemployed father and an emotionally fragile mother left a permanent mark on the future justice. All his life, Harry Blackmun considered himself one of society's outsiders, someone who did not "belong." Remarkably, though, that very self-image instilled in the justice, throughout his career, a deep empathy for society's most vulnerable outsiders--women faced with unwanted pregnancies, homosexuals subjected to archaic laws, and ultimately, death-row inmates. To those who saw his career as the constitutional odyssey of a conservative jurist gradually transformed into a champion of the underdog, Blackmun had a ready answer: he had not changed; the Court and the issues before them changed. The justice's identification with the marginalized members of society arguably provides the overarching key to that consistency. Thoroughly researched, engagingly written, Harry A. Blackmun: The Outsider Justice offers an in-depth, revelatory portrait of one of the most intriguing jurists ever to sit on the Supreme Court. Relying on in-depth archival material, in addition to numerous interviews with Blackmun's former clerks, Yarbrough here presents the definitive biography of the great justice, ultimately providing an illuminating window into the inner-workings of the modern Supreme Court.

Download or read book The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul written by Paul John Hausleben and published by God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2023-04-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Jersey guy named Bruce captures the real New Jersey with music and lyrics. Some guy from Paterson, New Jersey named Paul captures the real New Jersey in books, stories, and words! Here it is! The original, cult classic that began a nostalgic revolution and first introduced the characters of Harry M. Redmond Jr. and his faithful friend, Paul John Henson to the world. The Time Bomb in The Cupboard, and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul is the first book in the adventure series and it is a compilation of three stories, which detail the special friendship of two boyhood friends growing up in the 1970s in and around Paterson in northern New Jersey. In the year 2009, the author took a part-time job writing music reviews for a progressive rock website, and that gig caused the writing bug to bite the author once more. He recalled old stories, written when he was only sixteen years of age and submitted by a high school teacher to a publication for young writers and to the author’s astonishment, they were published and he received a royalty check for fifty dollars! After some digging around in a dusty box, the author found the original manuscripts, and he dusted them off. Those stories became the nucleus for the anthology now known as The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul. This book contains the original versions of the three classic stories, with minimum editing and processing in order to capture the genuine spirit and authentic style of how the author wrote them originally. The Time Bomb in The Cupboard is a story nestled within the Christmas season. When the fun-loving and jovial Ronnie “Ronzo” Boatmann concocts an extra powerful version of his famous holiday moonshine and the Redmond family, friends, and the old neighborhood assault Christmas Tree Mountain for their yearly “cutting down the Christmas tree” adventure, then the fun begins. During the quest for perfect Christmas trees, Ronzo uncorks his volatile mixture and the old neighborhood might never be the same! Harry’s Resort perfectly captures the essence of the old neighborhood and the amazing variety of people and personalities that live in old American urban cities. When the legendary Mr. Redmond replaces his old aboveground swimming pool in his city lot backyard, the decision creates a resort haven within the gritty urban neighborhood. What happens to the new pool becomes a hilarious romp through a very special time with some very special people. The Eye of the Tiger is authentic storytelling. When the bombastic, woman-crazy, teenage Harry M. Redmond Junior is caught two-timing his steady girlfriend, Harry whips up a wild plan to win her love back. He sucks his conservative best friend Paul John Henson into the mix and into the plans, as Harry enters a roller-skating marathon to raise money for charity and to impress his true love. What begins as a plan to regain her love slowly evolves into something very special, and what happens next is emotional, profound, and truly unforgettable.
The book overflows with nostalgic views back into time, spoofs that poke fun at the 1970s, as well as New Jersey life. The stories depict not only hilarious, unusual and outlandish situations, but the stories and characters will warm your heart and touch your soul. Grab your copy today!
