Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller chronicling the history of NYC’s infamous five mafia families is now the basis for the upcoming The HISTORY® Channel documentary series American Godfathers: The Five Families. Genovese, Gambino, Bonnano, Colombo and Lucchese. For decades these Five Families ruled New York and built the American Mafia (or Cosa Nostra) into an underworld empire. Today, the Mafia is an endangered species, battered and beleaguered by aggressive investigators, incompetent leadership, betrayals and generational changes that produced violent and unreliable leaders and recruits. A twenty year assault against the five families in particular blossomed into the most successful law enforcement campaign of the last century. Selwyn Raab's Five Families is the vivid story of the rise and fall of New York's premier dons from Lucky Luciano to Paul Castellano to John Gotti and more. The book also brings the reader right up to the possible resurgence of the Mafia as the FBI and local law enforcement agencies turn their attention to homeland security and away from organized crime.

But this penitential season, I have other work to do. I need to rebuild my relationship with the families of St. Clare’s after neglecting my duties as their shepherd. I must confess my sins to them, and ask their forgiveness. With these two tasks, I expected this Lent to be the longest of my life. But I didn’t expect to be fighting to stay out of prison. The Defining Decision (Book 5)--After the astonishing news from the Archbishop, Helen and I are looking forward to possibly having a life together as husband and wife. That is, if the Holy Father grants me permission. While awaiting word from the Vatican, we’re getting to know each other more deeply. Going out on dates, spending time together, talking about what our life together will be like if we’re allowed to marry. All of this under Anna’s watchful eye, and being very careful to keep things secret. But then Gladys runs over the President of Myer College’s chief of staff. What looks like a tragic accident takes a bizarre turn when drugs are found in his system. Is the young genius I consider a daughter guilty of murder, or is she being set up by someone from her past? The Silent Shooter (Book 6)--The Pope’s decision to allow us to marry captures the imagination of the entire world.

It soon becomes apparent that someone’s decided to stop us at any cost. But Helen already knows who wants her dead. It’s someone from her past as a Detective in Washington, D.C. A serial killer who sees himself acting as God’s instrument to kill impure women.

Download or read book Studies in the Transmission of Latin Texts written by S. P. Oakley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a comprehensive study of all the known manuscripts and incunables of two works: the history of Alexander the Great written by Quintus Curtius Rufus, probably in the first century AD, and the translation into Latin by Lucius Septimius of the spoof history of the Trojan War, allegedly written at the time of that war by a certain Dictys Cretensis. Drawing on in excess of 200 witnesses, the analysis reveals how the text of Curtius in all our extant manuscripts descends from one damaged copy that survived from the Roman Empire into the Middle Ages, and how the text of Dictys survived in two such copies. It demonstrates that clear and decisive results can be achieved by application of the so-called stemmatic method, and how the application of those results will lead to several improvements to our standard text of Dictys. As well as determining which manuscripts future editors should use in editing these texts and examining them in detail, it also offers equally full discussion of those which will not be needed, establishing many localizations and derivations. The result is a large body of material that will help deepen our knowledge of the transmission of classical Latin texts, especially in the Renaissance, as well as our knowledge of scribal practice and of techniques that can be deployed in the genealogical study of manuscripts and incunables.
