Gulleytown
Evil comes in many forms but pure evil has its own distinctive shape. In Rix County, Georgia it crested in the form of Henly Blackmon, mayor of the tiny town. Within the borders of Rix, a sheltering and most forbidden place is nestled. Its a destination where true miracles occur and they come about in abundance. Folklore thicker than the heaviest of rain cloud has hovered over and around this magical setting and its existence is unblemished by the impurities of evils stain. Lawrence Blackmon is the only son of the mayor and is an individual that has lived a complex life, one that has seen him be a friend to many but also witness as he shared company with wickedness and loyalty to transgression. Death and murders scattered the county and all were set in place by the deeds of Lawrence and for that his mere existence became a living hell. This tale shadows the path of young Lawrence Blackmon as he attempts to overtake the many struggles that have shaped his life and it will answer the question as to why the ever-evolving Lawrence had no other choice but to eventually destroy everything that made up his existence.
The Lawyer-Judge Bias in the American Legal System
Virtually all American judges are former lawyers. This book argues that these lawyer-judges instinctively favor the legal profession in their decisions and that this bias has far-reaching and deleterious effects on American law. There are many reasons for this bias, some obvious and some subtle. Fundamentally, it occurs because - regardless of political affiliation, race, or gender - every American judge shares a single characteristic: a career as a lawyer. This shared background results in the lawyer-judge bias. The book begins with a theoretical explanation of why judges naturally favor the interests of the legal profession and follows with case law examples from diverse areas, including legal ethics, criminal procedure, constitutional law, torts, evidence, and the business of law. The book closes with a case study of the Enron fiasco, an argument that the lawyer-judge bias has contributed to the overweening complexity of American law, and suggests some possible solutions.

Outside In
"My behavior is not a Yankee's behavior. It just is not, no matter what. My family was Italian, and different from most other Italian immigrants. We did not need to melt in. We did not need to assimilate, because of who we were and what we came from. While other people were painting themselves red, white, and blue, we talked Italian, absorbed our family's history, and thought of ourselves as being what we always were. In the deepest sense, I was never taught to be a Yankee, which is a fact that comes out in any number of the things that I do and try to accomplish. Some people have the feeling that what I write and say is too subtle, or perhaps manipulative; or that I behave a bit outlandishly; but those people do not put what I do in the context of Italy, in the context of that very old, very subtle, very complicated society, which I come from"--
