![]() ![]() Many believe those years in Cleveland cost him his health, his first marriage, and his career. Ness never talked to the papers or pointed the finger of blame, but I think Eliot Ness knew who the Butcher of Kingsbury Run was, and he did his best to bring the carnage to an end. As he said in the story, finding the Butcher wasn’t like taking out Al Capone. ![]() The mystery surrounding the Cleveland Torso Murders of the 1930s dogged Eliot Ness for the rest of his career. ![]() Maybe that is what makes heroes of regular men and what makes regular men (and women) heroes. He wanted to do the right thing, and even though he had his flaws and his selfish ambitions, he was not ruled by them. The thing that stands out for me with people like Eliot Ness is that he was good. As so often happens in these historical journeys I take, the sadness of the history often overwhelms me, and I wonder how I’m going to give my readers a happy ending-or even a sense of an ending-when history is messy and hard and often sad. He was an interesting figure for me, a man I liked. Eliot Ness died of a heart attack when he was only fifty-four. ![]()

From New York's Long Island to the Canadian High Arctic the New World was a playground for Viking adventurers. For four centuries or more, from their first visits around AD 1000 to the eve of the Columbus voyages, the Vikings explored and settled thousands of miles of the coasts and rivers of North America. See, for example, Graeme Davis, Vikings in America (Edinburgh: Birlinn.

In these provocative essays, Cooper is both candid and vulnerable, and unwilling to suffer fools. Brittney Cooper has made the case that she is the smartest (and most articulate) person in the room, especially when it comes to Black Feminism. Cooper also cleverly uses Michelle Obama’s hair to craft an artful censure of respectability politics and discusses Beyoncé as a cultural symbol of black female solidarity. Cooper is at her best and most inflammatory in an essay titled “White Girl Tears,” in which she bulldozes white feminists for cultural appropriation and failing to “come get their people” during the 2016 presidential election. Elsewhere in the collection, the author explores her own identity as a black, Southern, Christian feminist and the ways in which personal politics can become incongruous, and she openly admits her own privilege. ![]() In the essay “The Smartest Man I Never Knew,” Cooper uses the story of the attempted murder of Cooper’s mother (while she was pregnant with Cooper) by her mother’s jealous boyfriend as an example of American culture’s toxic masculinity. ![]() Many of the essays are deeply personal, with Cooper using her own experiences as springboards to larger concerns. Cooper, Cosmopolitan contributor and cofounder of the Crunk Feminist Collective blog, provides incisive commentary in this collection of essays about the issues facing black feminists in what she sees as an increasingly retrograde society. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other papers include photographs, clippings, financial papers, personal papers, personal effects, and realia. ![]() ![]() Audiovisual material consists of sound recordings and one unidentified film, including the 1974 to 1975 radio production of Miss Macintosh, My Darling read by various authors and actors for WBAI-FM Pacifica Radio.

Let's begin, however, with some of the reasons why the play continues to occupy the place it does in American drama and our national imagination. ![]() But whatever the case, the legacy questions inevitably following the playwright's recent death, make it time to take another look at his vaunted reputation, and pare it down to its rightful size: medium. While it's impossible to know his psychology enough to be sure, the shape of Salesman's flaws seem to suggest that Miller's artistic trouble stemmed from a divided personal impulse between making his play and his protagonist Jewish, and making them universal or representatively American. But the relevance of this central idea, connected with door-to-door salesmen and the Darwinian nature of rampant capitalism, has withered with time and changing technology, and even if it hadn't, Miller still failed to craft a play befitting Salesman's exalted reputation. ![]() The immense international success of Death of a Salesman comes from the intellectual force of the play’s central idea prevailing over the glaring defects of Arthur Miller’s execution.

In this snug retreat sat a duck upon her nest, watching for her young brood to hatch but the pleasure she had felt at first was almost gone she had begun to think it a wearisome task, for the little ones were so long coming out of their shells, and she seldom had visitors. The spot was as wild as if it had been in the very center of the thick wood. In a sunny spot stood a pleasant old farmhouse circled all about with deep canals and from the walls down to the water's edge grew great burdocks, so high that under the tallest of them a little child might stand upright. ![]() Yes, it was beautiful, it was delightful in the country.
