Hammered it with artillery until the Lancastrians surrendered. However, they relinquished the castle in 1464 to Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, who The keep was completed by Henry II, while other restorations were carried out during the reign of King Johnĭuring the Wars of the Roses, the Lancastrians occupied the castle. Thereafter, the castle became royal property and underwent numerousĪdditions and upgrades through the crown. ![]() Means "Evil Neighbor." The Earl was captured as he tried to escape to Tynemouth. The king besieged the castle using a siege castle called "Malvesin," which During the 11th century, it was the property of Robert,Įarl of Northumberland, who foolishly started a quarrel with King William II. Bamburgh Castle stands high on a massive rock in Northumberland, England, along the North Sea. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this insular neighborhood, even the legitimate businessmen are willing to cover for their wiseguy neighbors who are admired as entrepreneurs and are unafraid to bend the rules. ![]() Henry believes that his wiseguy friends are invulnerable, as indeed they seem to be. He neglects his schooling, and when the truant officer sends a letter to his parents, the Varios respond by threatening Henry's mailman to ensure Henry never receives another such letter. Henry feels accepted and approved of for the first time in his life. He quickly earns the approval of his elders, who allow him to drive their cars and drink their booze, making Henry feel like an adult. Henry is industrious, clever, and willing to hustle to run whatever errands the men need. As these men are criminals by nature, they have no qualms about luring young Henry into the life. The impressionable boy is introduced to the wealth and power that is granted the men in the Varios' employ. Henry is drawn to the mafia lifestyle as a young boy, taking a job at Tuddy Vario's cabstand at the age of eleven. Henry's heyday takes place during the 1960s and 1970s during which time he works under prominent mob boss Paul Vario in the Brownsville-East New York section of Brooklyn. ![]() Wiseguy is the true story of Henry Hill, a member of the Lucchese organized crime family in New York. Nicholas Pileggi's non-fiction book, Wiseguy, is the basis for the hit movie, GoodFellas, directed by Martin Scorsese (1990). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Watson Fellowship and conducted research in Mexico, where he began his career as a freelance journalist. While still in college, Grann received a Thomas J. He graduated from Connecticut College in 1989 with a B.A. Grann has two siblings, Edward and Alison. His father is an oncologist and Director of the Bennett Cancer Center in Stamford, Connecticut. His mother is the former CEO of Putnam Penguin and the first woman CEO of a major publishing firm. Grann was born on March 10, 1967, to Phyllis and Victor Grann. Īccording to a profile in Slate, Grann has a reputation as a "workhorse reporter", which has made him a popular journalist who "inspires a devotion in readers that can border on the obsessive." Early life He has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and The Weekly Standard. ![]() Grann's articles have been collected in several anthologies, including What We Saw: The Events of September 11, 2001, The Best American Crime Writing of 20, and The Best American Sports Writing of 20.

David Elliot Grann (born March 10, 1967) is an American journalist, a staff writer for The New Yorker, and a best-selling author. ![]() ![]() ![]() Girls are represented, too: one leaves Brooklyn to play for the Grand Rapids Chicks during World War II. Another descendant has his illusions shattered when the hometown team is unmasked as racist. The bat then plays a role in his son's misplaced worship of a fading legend. Louis Schneider carries his father's treasured souvenir baseball into battle during the Civil War (Abner Doubleday makes a cameo), trading it for an original Louisville Slugger from a wounded rebel. It's an ambitious work of research, weaving authentic details about the evolution of the sport into stories about nine fictional young people with baseball in their DNA. ![]() The love of baseball links nine generations of the Schneider/Snider/Flint family in this story collection that tracks the national pastime from the 1840s to the present day. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm not so sure that the court is impartial, but the wider point stands. It would not have "condemned a European to death for shooting an Arab… by suggesting that the court is impartial between Arab and Frenchman, the novel implicitly denies the colonial reality." A court in French Algeria simply would not work that way. In 1970, the Irish politician and academic Conor Cruise O'Brien wrote that the trial is "a myth, the myth of French Algeria". ![]() Yet although artifice is effective, it sits uncomfortably with reality. It doesn't seem so surprising that the French state focuses more on Meursault's behaviour at his mother's funeral than the dead man on the beach. ![]() This trial, meanwhile, is able to play out the way it does because the man is an Arab and so dehumanised. It adds to the impression that his trial by the French state is an intellectual problem as well as a human one. The lack of name is also a reflection of Meursault's detachment, his lack of curiosity, his coldness. It adds a layer of distancing and strangeness, a feeling that Meursault's fate is decided by something outside his usual realm of experience. Since we have so far looked at the book's qualities as a novel, the first thing to say is that it is an effective literary device. The French protagonist and his friends all have names: the man he kills, and his friends, do not. As far as The Outsider goes, the most obvious point is that Meursault kills an "Arab". ![]() ![]() ![]() He says, “I witnessed a troubling scene where police cars were on fire, buildings were on fire, Black men were running, trying to elude the police. He, too, remembers the trauma of covering the McDuffie riots. Cottman, author and award-winning journalist, and Program Editor for the NBCUniversal Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Team, similarly struggled with the intersections of his identities as a Black man and as a journalist. ![]() I thought I couldn't be my anonymous self, just a regular Black person, when I had that notepad, because I was no longer seen that way.It's really kind of crazy because you're not a part of the other neighborhood, either, you know, with your white peers not in the way that was equitable.” She explains, “I was like, wow, being disliked or not loved by your own, while you are trying to fight for your own, that was very stressful and a complexity that I was not prepared for. Gaines explains that she was happy to present the stories of the Black community, but the community viewed her as the enemy, seeing journalists as people who were not there to tell their stories. Working in Miami, she reported on the riots that followed the not guilty verdict in the McDuffie case in 1980, a case when a Black insurance salesman was beaten to death by four cops and the cops were acquitted of all charges. At the same time, when she was acting as a journalist, she felt she wasn’t accepted by the Black community either. ![]() ![]() ![]() For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Not because he and I are one, but because we are opposites, I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. Then by reasons of my great desire for wisdom and understanding, I overcame my fear and questioned the Glorious One and said, Lord, is it then true, as the Ape said, that thou and Tash are one? The Lion growled so that the earth shook (but his wrath was not against me) and said, It is false. He answered, Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me. But I said, Alas Lord, I am no son of thine but the servant of Tash. But the Glorious One bent down his golden head and touched my forehead with his tongue and said, Son, thou art welcome. ![]() Nevertheless, it is better to see the Lion and die than to be Tisroc of the world and live and not to have seen him. “Then I fell at his feet and thought, Surely this is the hour of death, for the Lion (who is worthy of all honour) will know that I have served Tash all my days and not him. ![]() |
