At the end of the forties, an old road was replaced with a modern highway, and television sets partly replaced radios and books. Those events marked the end of a way of life in rural Michigan. The author looks back at the forties from a modern viewpoint and at her life in a family of schoolteachers, recalling small-town storekeepers, old-fashioned teachers, and a simpler way of life that emphasized education and the environment.
Triple feature edition! Issue #2 of Serial Killer Quarterly, "Partners in Pain" recounts the gruesome tales of 15 serial murderers operating in 7 different teams from 19th century Scotland to 21st century Santa Monica. Bestselling author Cathy Scott guides the reader through the fog choked alleyways of Edinburgh where Irishmen William Burke and William Hare fatally suffocated up to 25 people in 1828. Our second feature by Dr. Katherine Ramsland focuses on Houston's wicked "Candy Man" Dean Corll - one of the most sadistic murderers in 20th century criminal history. Feature number three takes us back to the United Kingdom as Carol Anne Davis explores whether both John Duffy and David Mulcahy were truly the "Railway Killers". Kim Cresswell relays the perverse folie a deux of Doug Clark and Carol Bundy whose rampage began in 1980 on LA's sunset strip. Robert Hoshowsky and Curtis Yateman write of confinement and torture in their pieces on Leonard Lake and Charles Ng and "Ken and Barbie Killers" Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. Lastly, Aaron Elliott takes a look at a rare female-female serial killer duo, LA's Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt, who drugged and ran over two men with their car in order to collect on their life insurance policies. Also includes, Anthony Servante's analysis of poems by the Zodiac Killer, Joseph Kallinger, and Israel Keyes, and a review of the film 'Natural Born Killers'.

The unauthorized biography of Canada's most famous artist couple and the rivalry that drove them. She painted as if with pure light, radiant colours making quotidian kitchen scenes come alive with sublimated drama. He painted like clockwork, each stroke precise and measured with exquisite care, leaving no angle unchecked and no subtlety of tone unattended. Some would say Mary Pratt was fire and Christopher, ice. And yet Newfoundland's Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera (or Jackson Pollack and Lee Krasner...) presented their marriage as a portrait of harmony and balance. But balance off the canvas rarely makes great art, and the Pratts' art was spectacular. As a youth at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Mary pursued her future husband, a prodigious art talent, and supported his determination to study painting instead of medicine. They married and removed themselves to a Newfoundland outport where his painting alone provided the means to raise a family. But as Mary's own talents became evident and she sought her own hours at the easel, when not raising their four children, and as rumours of Christopher's affair with a young model spread, the Pratts' harmonious exterior slowly cracked, to scandal in Newfoundland and fascination across the country. A marriage ended, and gave way to a furious competition for dominance in Canadian art.

Florida Curiosities is your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Sunshine State has to offer. Columnists David Grimes and Tom Becnel have combed Florida for one-of-a-kind gems that make their home state truly unique. You'll meet a 1,000-pound Bradenton bachelor named Snooty (a celebrity manatee) and a ninety-one-year old snake charmer from Punta Gorda. You'll hunt for the Bardin Booger and learn all the lyrics to the Booger ballad. You'll visit the Tito Gaona Trapeze Academy in Venice, where you can get in on the act. You'll go worm fiddling and try kudzu growing (best left to the professionals). You'll discover Big Daddy Don Garlits's drag racing museum in Ocala. And where else but in Florida would you find a museum dedicated to air-conditioning. Whether you were born and raised in Florida or are a recent transplant, Grimes and Becnel's home-grown humor will have you laughing out loud as they introduce you to neighbors you never knew you had and take you to places you never knew existed -- right in your own backyard. Book jacket.

The low cost of all these day trips, and the historic highlights presented throughout, prompted S. Burkett Milner, Ph.D., CEO, Ozark Mountain Tour and Travel to write: This outstanding guidebook could have been titled: How to See the Real Ozarks for Less Than $25 a Day.
