As fate would have it, the two young beauties soon met Elvis Presley, and within a few months, Linda moved into Graceland as Elvis's girlfriend. An unforgettable four-and-half-year odyssey had begun... In Elvis, Linda & Me, Dumas offers an intimate portrait of her relationship with Elvis and Linda, recounting the night Linda met Elvis to their breakup just months before Elvis's death. Jeanne saw it all she toured the country with Elvis, worked as one of his secretaries in the office behind Graceland, and even threw sleepovers at Graceland with Thompson. Elvis, Linda & Me recalls Elvis's legendary generosity extended to Jeanne in the form of a three-and-a-half-carat yellow-gold cluster diamond ring for, in Elvis's words, being "a good friend to Linda." Elvis, Linda & Me is a celebration of friendship and a touching tribute to man who not only changed two lives, but changed the world. Though we will never know exactly what happened the morning of August 16, 1977, one thing is clear; through death, Elvis Presley crossed the threshold of life and forever transformed his legacy into an instant immortality the likes of which the world has never seen. Elvis, Linda and & Me also offers several never-before-seen photos, including rare photos of upstairs at Graceland taken by Jeanne herself..

In the shadows of the city waits an invisible frontier—a wilderness thriving in the deep places, woven through dead storm drains and live subway tunnels, coursing over third rails. This frontier waits in the walls of abandoned tenements, hides on the rooftops, infiltrates the bridges’ steel. It’s a no-man’s-land, fenced off with razor wire, marked by warning signs, persisting in shadow, hidden everywhere as a parallel dimension. Crowds hurry through the bright streets, insulated by pavement, never reflecting that beneath their feet or above their heads lurks a universe.

Led by its two founding agents, L. B. Deyo and David “Lefty” Leibowitz, Jinx is a stylish urban adventure out?t known for its daring—if sometimes ridiculous—forays into the hidden wonders that lurk above and beneath America’s greatest city, New York. In Invisible Frontier L. B. and Lefty chronicle Jinx’s dramatic—if sometimes absurd—exploration of a Dante-esque New York, from the depths of the city’s underground Hell (abandoned aqueducts and subway tunnels) to the pinnacles of its Paradise (rooftops and bridges) and everything in between, capturing the genius of the city’s engineering, the vibrancy of its found art, and the elegiac beauty of its ruins. Here is a true series of wittily narrated adventures into the hidden world beneath a great civilization..

With about 400 murders each year in Indiana, Hoosiers witness their share of human darkness And, while many citizens might prefer to forget these unfortunate episodes, the seamy side of the state must not go unexamined Notorious 92: Indiana's Most Heinous Murders In All 92 Counties examines the state's dark side, illustrating that the murderous venom of today has been present in Indiana for two centuries. From marital and financial problems to substance abuse and racial hostilities, generations of Hoosiers are linked by not only the lands they inhabit, but by the demons they face.

In Notorious 92, Andrew E. Stoner recounts murders from each of Indiana's 92 counties. Among the eye-opening cases detailed in this volume are:

• The story of Vigo County's Larry Eyler, a serial killer who claimed the lives of 21 men from 1982 to 1984
• The story of an unidentified runaway slave who was killed in downstate Switzerland County by a Kentucky slave owner in 1859
• The story of Elkhart County's Shirley Rock, a young woman who admitted to poisoning her husband because she didn't believe in divorce
• The story of brothers Anthony "The Ant" and Michael Spilotro, two alleged members of the Chicago Mob who were found beaten to death and buried in a Newton County cornfield, with the gruesome double murder portrayed in the Martin Scorsese film Casino
• The story of Marion County's Marjorie Jackson, a wealthy widow who was murdered in her home while her killer robbed her of $3.5 million, but didn t find an additional $5 million hidden around her estate

Notorious 92 makes clear that for Indiana to cure itself of society's ills, it first must be familiar with the motives and patterns of its citizens' violent tendencies..

If America is to be preserved, it will be due to the brave efforts of the patriots who lead the movement to save the nation.

Awakened by the revelations in the post-9/11 period on the ever-growing illegal immigration crisis, Daniel Sheehy dedicated four years to exploring America's virtual open-borders policy. The fruits of his research-Fighting Immigration Anarchy-illustrates the inspiring grassroots efforts being made by ordinary citizens taking extraordinary steps to awaken America to the multitude of problems caused by the government's reckless immigration positions.

In the wake of this spreading chaos have come massive job displacements for American workers, increased crime, schools overwhelmed by non-English-speaking students, bankrupt hospitals, and other serious problems.

Fighting Immigration Anarchy focuses on the struggles of dozens of citizens-including chapter-length portraits of eight major citizen activists-to wake up their fellow Americans to the encroaching danger. As with the brave public servants celebrated in Profiles in Courage, the patriots chosen for this book are as varied as America, yet all underwent personal transformations when they saw the nation's peril, putting aside all individual concerns to make saving the country their top priority. Among the patriots are:

-Tom Tancredo (author of In Mortal Danger) a congressman from Colorado who founded the Immigration Reform Caucus and became the nation's spokesman for border security after 9/11.

-An auto mechanic from South Central Los Angeles who remade himself into a powerful talk radio host and public speaker to tell the story of the black community as America's canary in the immigration coal mine.

-A retired CPA and a former schoolteacher who co-founded the Minuteman Project and brought the illegal immigration crisis to the national stage.

The heroic advocates of change chronicled in Fighting Immigration Anarchy and their urgent brand of citizen activism offer the only effective model of curbing illegal immigration, fighting corporate globalism, and preserving American sovereignty..
