The Biograph photos were really nice- Only the movie companies can do this- Depp's Escalade was the only odd car there, but who cares. Don't know how you paid...

I certainly have to agree on that one, Baron. One thing Helmer can do exceptionaly well is write. Dietery matters are another story: If you can't light it,...
I suppose most people in this group are already familiar with this story, but since it's new to me, perhaps a few others have not yet heard of it. In his...

Hi, Dean: A while back you mentioned the Lindbergh Kidnapping as a discussion topic. I definitely believe that Hauptman was involved in the crime and justly...
Hi Bob, I put a poll about Hauptmann / Lindbergh on my website http://www.laurajames.typepad.com/ and I have been Shocked! to discover that one in three...
My thoughts are pretty much in the same line as Laura's and Bob's. I've no doubt whatever about Hauptmann's guilt but also suspect he had one or more...
For the Canadian Gangsterologists out there - or anyone else interested in true Canadian crime books - I recently came across a terrific resource book. Death...

As I recollect, Monaco was one of the three or four followers of Salvatore Maranzano that constituted the whole of the so- called "great Mafia purge" of...
