All baby boomers are children of their time. In Our Time After a While, writer Lloyd Billingsley backpacks into that time, the tail end of the tail-fi n era, in its very birthplace. In the motor cities of Detroit and Windsor, the streets, schools and parks jostled with a vast cast of characters. The author charts their adventures, and the sound track no border could stop, and which would spread around the world. This was long ago, but like Bob Seger the author is still humming a song from 1962, and still looking back in wonder. In Our Time After a While, his fellow baby boomers and all others can join him. Memories are made of this.
A CRIME STEPHEN KING COULD NOT INVENT. Davis teen Daniel Marsh grows fond of sadistic violence and torture. He believes there are too many people in the world, and that serial killers can help solve this problem. He wants to be like them. On April 14, 2013, he murders Oliver "Chip" Northup, 87, and Claudia Maupin, 76, in a way that, as Davis police said, showed "exceptional depravity." He carefully covers his tracks but talks up the crime to friends. In a five-hour confession he tells police it "felt great" to kill the couple. He pleads not guilty and seeks to have the confession tossed. When that fails, he pleads insanity. He wants to get away with murder, by any means necessary. Lloyd Billingsley attended every day of the trial. Exceptional Depravity: Dan Who Likes Dark and Double Murder in Davis, California explains how it all happened, why it happened, and what it means.

From FDR to BHO, United Fakes of America ExposedFranklin Delano Roosevelt is remembered as a president fully able in body and mind, and a tower of strength during World War II. In reality, FDR was anything but, and his "splendid deception," as one author explained, endures to this day. In similar style, Senator Elizabeth Warren built a career on the claim that she was of Cherokee ancestry. That turned out to be fictional, but the fakery was no barrier to a bid for the presidency of the United States. Over in the House, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar claims "some people did something" on 9/11. Some journalists wonder if she did something improper to enter the United States. Before he sought to unseat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, former California senate boss Kevin de Leon suddenly claimed his father was a Chinese cook from Guatemala. That story had some observers scratching their heads.Sen. Richard Blumenthal claimed he had served in Vietnam. Some journalists found the claim untrue, but Blumenthal carried on in the U.S. Senate with no problem.Slain San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk won the Presidential Medal of Freedom and has an airport terminal and U.S. Navy ship named after him. Was he really booted out of the Navy for being homosexual? And was he really gunned down by an anti-gay bigot?In Dreams from My Father, the 44th president of the United States claimed his father was a Kenyan named Barack Obama. Then after eight years in the White House came this: "Dreams from My Father was not a memoir or an autobiography; it was instead, in multitudinous ways, without any question a work of historical fiction. It featured many true-to-life figures and a bevy of accurately described events that indeed had occurred, but it employed the techniques and literary license of a novel, and its most important composite character was the narrator himself." The casual reader might see a "birther" at work, but the writer is Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Garrow, PhD, in the 2017 Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, official biography of the 44th president. As one insider explained, the president's story is "not entirely true."It took some 40 years for the truth to emerge that President Franklin Roosevelt was severely disabled, and how this affected his presidency. It took much less time to expose the others, including, quite possibly, the biggest fake of all time. Read all about it in Yes I Con: United Fakes of America.
