SKIP THE FIRST AMENDMENT
Author: Marlowe J. Churchill
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1466984570
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Reporter Skip Easley, known more for his office sexual escapades than his writing prowess, is not exactly thrilled when he receives his next assignment—the murder of a topless dancer in Tacoma, Washington. To Easley, the life of a topless dancer on the sordid dance circuit is a feature story that’s already been written a dozen times over. When another dancer’s information suggests that there’s gang involvement in the entertainment industry, Easley doesn’t take it seriously. For this and various other reasons, he’s relieved of his position at the newspaper. But the story follows him to Riverside, California, where he has been lucky enough to have landed another journalist position. A beautiful topless dancer, Janelle Jones, goes to the US Attorney and divulges important information about the hotshot murders—meant to look like a heroin overdose— and of a drug-running operation that employs topless dancers as couriers. Janelle asks for Easley’s help, and this time he doesn’t think twice. It could be the opportunity he needs to write the big story that will keep him employed. But Janelle and Easley have underestimated their opponents, who have a farreaching and powerful arsenal of resources.

Self Help
Author: Richard Cravens
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
About the Book Self Help was born out of the notion that when people lose faith in our courts and other institutions, they will resort to “self-help,” which looks like chaos, vigilantism, and rioting in the streets. What does that mean for real people? How do we get stuff done when the courts and other institutions not only refuse to help in a timely manner, but actively get in the way? The answer is that we must help ourselves. This book is about three people who have urgent, desperate problems, which cannot wait for a broken system. They must help themselves, but how? The system may be broken, but it works frustratingly well when it comes to punishing those who help themselves. About the Author Richard Cravens lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his wife, son, two daughters, four cats, and two dogs. After a relatively successful career in the hospitality industry, and after a bout of temporary insanity, he was sworn into the New Mexico State Bar at the age of 46. Despite his best attempts by hang-gliding, rock climbing, kickboxing, bar fighting, and drunken jeep crashes, he did not die of stupidity, got sober, and now he has an incredible life, for which he is very grateful. Richard has been a member of the Biomedical Ethics Committee at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center since his first year of law school. He belongs to the New Mexico Lawyer's Assistance Committee, which helps lawyers with substance abuse and other issues to keep their licenses.
