Kidnap; The Story of the Lindbergh Case - by George Waller
Publication date 1961
Publisher - Cardinal edition published by Pockey Books - # GC-774
Paperback
4 x 7 inches, 691 pages

While many books about the crime of the century preceded it, Waller's book was by far, the most detailed and thorough examination of the crime and the resulting trial, of all publications up to that point. Reviewing the book for the University of Minnesota Law Review, William L. Prosser accurately stated:

"Waller, a free-lance writer and former magazine and newspaper editor, who was a student of journalism at near-by Temple University at the time of the case, has retold the story in considerable detail, and with an unbiased accuracy which has been sadly lacking in some previous accounts."

After its American debut, it was published in Germany in 1963 under the title: Der Fall Lindbergh Das Verbrechen. The American edition is massive, just under 600 pages, and it contains 27 period photographs. Waller assumes his readers… Read More

The Mickey Mouse Club was hosted by Jimmie Dodd, a songwriter and the Head Mouseketeer, who provided leadership both on and off the screen. In addition to his other contributions, he often provided short segments which encouraged younger viewers to make the right moral choices. These little homilies became known as "Doddisms".[5] Roy Williams, a staff artist at Disney, also appeared in the show as the Big Mouseketeer. Williams suggested that the Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears should be worn by the show's cast members. He helped create these ears, along with Chuck Keehne, Hal Adelquist, and Bill Walsh.

The main cast members were called Mouseketeers, and they performed in a variety of musical and dance numbers, as well as some informational segments.

The Magic of the Scottish LinksAuthor is Jonathan Warrender Publisher: Alexander Meddowes Fine Art Broker (2005)Paperback7.75 x 11.75 inchesA links is the oldest style of golf course, first developed in Scotland. The word "links" comes via the Scots language from the Old English word hlinc: "rising ground, ridge" and refers to an area of coastal sand dunes and sometimes to open parkland. It can be treated as singular even though it has an "s" at the end and occurs in place names that precede the development of golf, for example Lundin Links, Fife. It also retains this more general meaning in standard Scottish English. Links land is typically characterised by dunes, an undulating surface, and a sandy soil unsuitable for arable farming but which readily supports various indigenous browntop bent and red fescue grasses. Together, the soil and grasses result in the firm turf associated with links courses and the 'running' game. The hard surface typical of the links-style course allows balls to "run" out… Read More
