Administration and expenditure of the Chancellor's departments, 2008-09
The Chancellor's departments faced extraordinary challenges during 2008-09, mainly arising from the need to respond to the emerging financial crisis and associated economic downturn. The report concludes that it is very difficult to draw final conclusions regarding their level of success - too much remains unfinished business. It draws attention, in particular, to the new relationship between the Treasury and UKFI, and recommends that the Government considers whether the formal terms of the relationship need some re-definition in the light of experience.

The Saint
The now legendary character created by Leslie Charteris has survived nearly three-quarters of a century of perilous action and narrow escapes with nary a hair out of place nor the slightest jolt to his jauntily tipped halo. From his earliest days battling “crooks, blood suckers, traders in vice and damnation” (and cracking the occasional safe on the side), the Saint has captured the imaginations of millions. Using the voluminous correspondence and writings of author Leslie Charteris and examining the many incarnations of Simon Templar, alias “The Saint,” in other media, a detailed history emerges. Includes plot synopses of the radio and television programs, with air dates and production credits; descriptions of the movies and their credits; a bibliography, reviews of the books, and quotes from the principals.

A Broken Judicial System the Power of Unsubstantiated Accusation
In 2005, Victor Cuevas was falsely accused of raping a thirteen-year-old girl. Even though he was acquitted of all charges three years later, his life has never been the same. In this book, he looks back at the fight he waged to clear his name. Athough he did not know it at the time, the author’s nightmare began Aug. 23, 2005, when he visited a resort for a relaxing overnight getaway with his girlfriend. Five weeks later, he was arrested after a thirteen-year-old girl claimed he took her to the same resort during the same timeframe and sexually assaulted her. The police marched into the middle school where he worked and escorted him out of the building in handcuffs—in front of students, peers, and the news media. They didn’t tell him what he had allegedly done wrong. In this account, the author reveals how teenage angst between two people turned into a false accusation of rape. He also shares a stark account of what happens when you’ve been accused of a sex crime—even after a jury of peers declares you to be innocent.
