The Man from Whitman Creek
ROBERT G. "BOB" LAWSON had a long and remarkable career: over 50 years, he taught thousands of law students; counseled lawyers, judges, and University of Kentucky presidents; authored three books; drafted Kentucky's criminal code and rules of evidence; and campaigned against harsh sentences and jail overcrowding. In all his endeavors, Lawson brought to bear the values he learned growing up in a loving family in Whitman Creek, a West Virginia coal camp-work hard, be responsible, exercise good judgment, and act for the welfare of others. In The Man from Whitman Creek, William H. "Bill" Fortune recounts the people, places, and values that influenced and shaped Lawson-son, student, family man, l...
Beverly Hills
The Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, was the preeminent nightclub of the lower Midwest for decades. After struggling financially into the1960s, the club was purchased by new owners in 1969. Over the next several years, the new owners completed numerous improvements, renovations, and additions, creating what they hoped would be the "showplace of the nation." On the evening of May 28, 1977, the lavish club burned to the ground, killing 165 people in the second worst nightclub fire in United States history. Robert Lawson's meticulous study makes clear that the tragedy flowed from the fact that the building had become over time a true firet...
Who Killed Betty Gail Brown?
On October 26, 1961, after an evening of studying with friends on the campus of Transylvania University, nineteen-year-old student Betty Gail Brown got into her car around midnight—presumably headed for home. But she would never arrive. Three hours later, Brown was found dead in a driveway near the center of campus, strangled to death with her own brassiere. Kentuckians from across the state became engrossed in the proceedings as lead after lead went nowhere. Four years later, the police investigation completely stalled. In 1965, a drifter named Alex Arnold Jr. confessed to the killing while in jail on other charges in Oregon. Arnold was brought to Lexington, indicted for the murder of Bet...
The Origins of the Necessary and Proper Clause
The Necessary and Proper Clause is one of the most important parts of the US Constitution. Today this short thirty-nine-word paragraph is cited as the legal foundation for much of the modern federal government. Through three independent lines of research, the authors trace the lineage of the Necessary and Proper Clause to the everyday law of the Founding Era - the same law that American founders such as Madison, Hamilton, and Washington applied in their daily lives. Origins of the Necessary and Proper Clause are found in law-governing agencies, public administration, and corporations. Moreover, all of those areas were undergirded by common principles of fiduciary responsibility - reflecting the Founders' view that a public office is truly a public trust. This explains the choice of language in the clause and provides clues about its meaning. This book thus serves as a reference source for scholars seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of one of the Constitution's most important clauses.
The Elaborate Game
Magic and miracles! After a slow start in living life, I began to experience more than twenty different kinds of delightful happenings that I'd like to share with you. I've been dissatisfied with what I've encountered in Christian churches of various denominations. After reading The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus, the Christ of the Piscean Age, by Levi Downing, as well as Conversations with God, by Neale Donald Walsch, I did gain some clarity that I hope to share with you in this autobiographical, honest, loving story.
The Story of Ferdinand
Once upon a time in Spain, there was a little bull and his name was Ferdinand . . . Unlike all the other little bulls - who run, jump, and butt their heads together in fights - Ferdinand would rather sit under his favourite cork tree and smell the flowers. So what will happen when Ferdinand is picked for the bull fights in Madrid? Beloved all over the world for its timeless message of peace, tolerance and the courage to be yourself, this truly classic story has never been out of print in the US since its release in 1936. Hitherto unpublished in the UK and now a major motion picture.
