Burke
Growing up in a small town in Tennessee, Joe Burke, a frail child, is bullied and beaten by an older boy, Carl Overland. Joes drunken father, a deputy sheriff, ridicules him for letting it happen. As a teenager, he falls in love with a senators daughter. They plan for Joe to enlist in the Air Force while she attends college. Their plans end abruptly. Thirty years later, colonel Burke returns to his home town for his mothers funeral. He learns Carl Overlands criminal activities are terrorizing the town. Due to Burkes thirty years of law enforcement in the Air Force, he is asked to retire and run for sheriff. Learning that the girl he has continued to love and dream about is a widow, he decides to retire and run. His second chance for happiness is jeopardized when he learns the senator may be linked to Carl Overland.

The Rhetorical Imagination of Kenneth Burke
Blending the genres of biography, intellectual history, and rhetorical theory, this study presents an analysis of Burke's (1897-1993) early essays and his eight theoretical works, placing them in the context of their social and political history. Wolin (humanities and rhetoric, Boston University) casts each work as a re-articulation and extension of the ideas imbedded in Burke's previous efforts. The tactics of conflict, cooperation, and motivation are emphasized. c. Book News Inc.

The Infamous Burke and Hare
Body snatchers and grave robbers were the stuff of Victorian lore, but two real-life culprits took the crimes out of shadowy cemeteries and into criminal court. William Burke and William Hare aided Scottish surgeons competing for anatomical breakthroughs by experimenting on human corpses. As the duo evolved from petty theft to premeditated murder, they unwittingly brought attention to the medical practices of the era, leading to Burke's death by hanging. This account not only explores the work of the resurrectionists, it reflects the nature of serial killers, 1820s criminal law, and Edinburgh's early role as a seat of European medical research. Readers interested in the legal aspects of these crimes will find the trial testimony included to be a valuable resource.
