Book excerpt: This long out-of-print book is reprinted here because in Chapter 30 entitled "Trumping Up the Boardwalk," starting on page 379, it reveals the compromises President-Elect Donald Trump made and had to make with the Mafia that was in control of Atlantic City to get his foot in the door. It reveals how Trump was able to use his connections to get in control of Atlantic City casinos without putting in a dime of his own money. These reports have been recently confirmed by The New York Times. It also reveals why Trump had to keep his strange alliance with the obviously corrupt Governor of the State of New Jersey. "I've said it before and I will repeat it again to organized crime. Keep your filthy hands off of Atlantic City! Keep the Hell out of our state." New Jersey Governor, June 2, 1977 (the date he signed the Casino Control Act) This warning was in vain. Powerful crime families were already muscling their way into Atlantic City. Their methods were extortion, bribery and when necessary murder. Atlantic City became The Boardwalk Jungle. Acclaimed Journalist and author Ovid Demaris, the man who revealed Las Vegas to the world in The Green Felt Jungle, now gives us the shocking true story of how Atlantic City went from seaside haven to Mafia Mecca. From licensing hearings to wiretapped conversations, from the governors office to the gambling tables, the author names names and shows us the chilling truth of how greed money and terror conquered a state. Here you will learn the inside the inside story behind each casino - Resorts International, Caesars Boardwalk Regency, Bally Park Place, Playboy/Atlantas, Harrah's, Tropicana, Sands, Claridge, Trump Plaza and the Trump Castle. As the glittering extravaganzas shot skyward, the rest of the city withered to a slum, overrun by loan sharks, thieves and prostitutes. The Boardwalk became a billion dollar capital of crime as bad if not worse than Las Vegas.

Download or read book Black Ball and the Boardwalk written by James E. Overmyer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Giants' accomplishments took place against an historical backdrop of a change in the African-American experience. The original players from Jacksonville, Florida, joined the northward black migration during World War I. The team was named after Harry Bacharach--an Atlantic City politician running for mayor--as a way to keep his name before the city's black community. The Giants were immediately successful, and soon played the best semi-professional teams in their region, as well as the top black teams from the East and Midwest. They entered the first Negro league on the East Coast in 1923, and won the league championship twice before the decade ended. This book chronicles the Giants' pivotal role in the development of black baseball in Prohibition Era Atlantic City, and the careers of the men who made it possible.

Download or read book Farewell Miss Julie Logan written by J.M. Barrie and published by Canongate Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This selection of J M Barrie's work covers three different genres and all the most telling themes found in his writing: Scotland, childhood, fantasy and sentimentality, sexual anxiety, theatrical invention, social comedy and proto-feminism. The disturbing prose fable of The Little White Bird contains the first and most original exploration of the Peter Pan theme, properly set in the wider context of a middle-aged man's engagement with creation, fantasy and loneliness-a theme which made Barrie world-famous and haunted him for the rest of his life. In a one-act play of scintillating satire, The Twelve-Pound Look exposes the pomposities of male pride and public success in 1910 from the point of view of an ex-wife unexpectedly returned as her (be)knighted husband's typist. Written in diary form and telling of an uncanny romance in a remote winter glen, Farewell Miss Julie Logan evokes the author's fascination with longing, death and loss in a novella which can stand with the stories of the supernatural and which itself raises questions about the nature of romance fiction. This volume offers an exciting reassessment of one of Scotland's most unusual and misrepresented writers.

This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Pan In Kensington Gardens is a novel by J. M. Barrie and exquisitely illustrated by Arthur Rackham. In this adventure, Peter is a seven-day-old infant who, "like all infants", used to be part bird. Peter has complete faith in his flying abilities, so, upon hearing a discussion of his adult life, he is able to escape out of the window of his London home and return to Kensington Gardens. Upon returning to the Gardens, Peter is shocked to learn from the crow Solomon Caw that he is not still a bird, but more like a human – Solomon says he is crossed between them as a "Betwixt-and-Between". Unfortunately, Peter now knows he cannot fly, so he is stranded in Kensington Gardens. At first, Peter can only get around on foot, but he commissions the building of a child-sized thrush's nest that he can use as a boat to navigate the Gardens by way of the Serpentine, the large lake that divides Kensington Gardens from Hyde Park. Although he terrifies the fairies when he first arrives, Peter quickly gains favour with them and that’s when another Peter Pan adventure truly starts.
