"We are pleased to present to you a collection of Allen family genealogy. We have included primarily the families of William Allen and Caty Gearheart, Richard Allen and Edy Williams, George Allen and Cynthia Patton, James Allen and Nancy Louise Roberts, Samuel Patton Sr. and Elizabeth Allen, Isaac E. Allen and 1st wife Frances E. Pettit and 2nd wife Margaret Poplett ... Settlement of the Big Sandy, Licking and Kentucky River valleys was happening by 1800.

As the title Scamalot implies, the scams come fast and furious in this fun novel set in Hollywood. Upscale escort/call girl Kellie Householder has just initiated a million dollar scam against a TV star, when her big brother, Jerry, and his pal, George, appear on the scene. Both are fresh out of prison and are flat broke. The parolees stumble on to Kellie's scam and decide to hustle her for some money. She rebuffs them, and then in an act of compassion, hires Jerry and George to help carry out her scheme against squeaky clean TV personality Alice Ridgeway, who doesn't want the truth of her indiscretion to become public. But Alice has a scam of her own: keeping $800,000 of the million she promises to pay to keep her secret in the closet. There's also a photography shop owner who printed pornographic photos of Kellie, and decides to blackmail her over the shots. All the plots come together, as Jerry and George go to the drop-off spot dressed as orthodox rabbis. Since everyone wants their share of the million, who ends up with the cash?
"Anyone can commit a murder, but it takes an artist to commit a suicide." – Old KGB saying The high-profile death of government weapons inspector Dr David Kelly twenty-one years ago, amid the tumult of Britain's controversial invasion of Iraq, plunged the New Labour government into crisis and led to the resignation of the BBC's director general. An informal inquiry chaired by Lord Hutton into the circumstances surrounding Kelly's death cleared the government of wrongdoing but was widely dismissed as a whitewash. The Strange Death of David Kelly argues that neither the medical evidence nor David Kelly's state of mind and personality supported the verdict of suicide. Analysing the official process instigated after Kelly's death, putting the entire episode into its political context and scrutinising the actions of the government in launching the Iraq War, this new edition of the instant bestseller is fully updated to include the latest evidence and theories surrounding this most mysterious and political of deaths.
