He claimed a black man carjacked him and his pregnant wife. The carjacker then shot his wife and almost killed him.

Here's a book review of Stuart's story by Joe Sharkey..."Deadly Greed".

Here's a well-written book by Edward Humes titled "Mean Justice".
The author tries to make a case that Pat Dunn was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife Sandy via a "mean justice" that includes lying witnesses, runaway prosecutors and a right-wing public with little patience to get at the truth.
Only there's gaping holes in the author's arguments and I take them on in this book review.

The protagonist of this story "Can of Peas" grew up believing that a humble can of peas saved her parents from certain death on the rocky immigrant boat of their passage from Italy to America.

A quick catch-up on Jillian of "Bachelorette" fame. As of this writing she's got 16 guys still vying for her, we all should be so lucky.
The show is building the drama in that there's one fellow all the contenders love to hate and throw in a weirdo or two.
Does Jillian appear to be honing in on any one of her handsome choices yet?

Here's a movie that is a 2009 "must-see".
Pixar's "UP" has everything, charm, adventure, laughs, insight, truth and an appeal to all ages. Scratch that. "UP" does seem to be missing curse words and sex scenes and still it entertains.
Check out who this movie's protagonist is based on in terms of resemblance. Hint-he's a famous journalist and "UP's" elderly adventurer looks exactly like him.
