Hardback. Etat : Good. One of Cleveland's most popular celebrities shares favorite stories about remarkable people and extraordinary events from a long and varied career . . .Hundreds of thousands of fans tuned in to Larry Morrow each morning for an amazing four decades on four radio stations--WIXY, 3WE, WERE, and WQAL. Larry hit the Cleveland airwaves in 1966 at rock 'n' roll powerhouse WIXY 1260 as one of the WIXY Supermen, who led that station to #1 ratings. His upbeat and friendly style made him a fan favorite, and his loyal audience followed wherever he took his show. Always an outspoken booster for his adopted home town--even in tough times when that attitude was uncommon--Larry quickly became popular off the air, too. He was master of ceremonies for many of Cleveland's biggest events, including its official bicentennial celebration, attended by 450,00 people--the largest crowd ever assembled in Cleveland. He was chosen to introduce five U.S. presidents. For his nonstop civic efforts he was given the honorary title Mr. Cleveland by former mayor George Voinovich. Larry was inducted into the prestigious Radio and Television Hall of Fame and is the only Ohio broadcaster nominated to the National Radio Hall of Fame. Through it all, his success has been based on a simple principle: Do all the good you can . . . to everyone you can . . . every time you can. …

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A beloved crime reporter revisits some of her biggest assignments and passes judgement on our judicial system--and especially its judges--in this national bestseller. When Christie Blatchford wandered into a Toronto courtroom in 1978 for the start of the first criminal trial she would cover as a newspaper reporter, little did she know she was also at the start of a self-imposed life sentence. She has been reporting from Canadian courtrooms for the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail and the National Post ever since. Back in '78, she loved the courts, lawyers and judges, and that persisted for many years. But slowly, surely, she suffered a loss of faith. What happened? It was at the recent Mike Duffy trial she had the epiphany: That judges are the new senators, unelected, unaccountable and overly entitled. Yet unlike senators, they continue to get away with it because any questioning by government or its agents is deemed an intrusion onto judicial independence. In her explosive new book, Christie Blatchford revisits trials from throughout her career and asks the hard questions--about judges playing with the truth--through editing of criminal records, whitewashing of criminal records, pre-trial rulings that kick out evidence the jury can't hear. She discusses bad or troubled judges--how and why they get picked, and what can be done about them. And shows how judges are handmaidens to the state, as in the Bernardo trial when a small-town lawyer and an intellectual writer were pursued with more vigor than Karla Homolka. For anyone interested in the political and judicial fabric of this country, Life Sentence is a remarkable, argumentative, insightful and hugely important book.…

The Duke's cousin Moira introduces him to an attractive American girl, Mary-Lee, who is an immensely rich heiress.
