Now there's a dead girl on campus and Alex seems to be the only person who won't accept the neat answer the police and campus administration have come up with for her murder.īecause Alex knows the secret societies are far more sinister and extraordinary than anyone ever imagined. But a free ride to one of the world's most prestigious universities was bound to come with a catch.Īlex has been tasked with monitoring the mysterious activities of Yale's secret societies - societies that have yielded some of the most famous and influential people in the world. Not when Yale was supposed to be her fresh start. A dropout and the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved crime - the last thing she wants is to cause trouble. A tale of power, privilege, dark magic and murder set among the Ivy League elite.Īlex Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale's freshman class.

Hayward played twins in the film and Cushing played the opposite role for each take. Considering his future fame playing a certain Baron, it is an amusing coincidence that Peter Cushing’s very first job in the movies was under the direction of James Whale, director of the classic 1931 Frankenstein, as a double for star Louis Hayward in The Man in the Iron Mask(1939). ![]() ![]() ![]() Murray, who, as Winchester shows, understood that Minor's endless scavenging for the first or best uses of words became his saving raison d'etre, and looked out for the increasingly frail man's well-being. ![]() Here on more solid ground, Winchester enthusiastically chronicles Minor's subsequent correspondence with editor Dr. Pronounced insane and confined at Broadmoor with his collection of rare books, Minor happened upon a call for OED volunteers in the early 1880s. Sketching Minor's childhood as a missionary's son and his travails as a young field surgeon, Winchester speculates on what may have triggered the prodigious paranoia that led Minor to seek respite in England in 1871 and, once there, to kill an innocent man. Vanity Fair contributor Winchester (River at the Center of the World) has told his story in an imaginative if somewhat superficial work of historical journalism. ![]() Minor-all from a cell at the Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum.

Jewell doesn’t attempt to redefine Lynn’s songs instead, her breezy, often smiling delivery marks Butcher Holler as a labor of love. The coal mining town of Butcher Holler (or Butcher Hollow), Kentucky, is the birthplace of country music legend Loretta Lynn. Consequently, her take on Lynn’s songs often sets a very different mood. Jewell has carved out her own niche with a smokey, noirish sound, full of shadows and reverb (her upcoming album isn’t called Queen of the Minor Key for nothing). Eilen Jewell revisits Lynn’s catalog on Butcher Holler, shining a light on obscurities as well as classics. “Fist City” and “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)”, for example, hold obvious hints of danger, while songs like “Another Man Loved Me Last Night” might raise a few eyebrows even now. Her outspoken, no-nonsense songs refused to shrink away from topics that female singers of her time were expected to avoid. The CD came about from the bands namesake side project, Butcher Holler, which gigged regularly in Boston until Jewells career started taking off a couple of. Loretta Lynn came out of Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, and hit the country music charts like a lightning strike. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Each story is different but all have some common threads.

And Schulz refuses to be consoled with the assurance that $75 is the going rate, that audiences for “The Lion King” pay as dearly. Nor does he seem to care that an early preview crackled with enthusiasm. Presented with a Playbill direct from the Broadway production of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” which opens on Broadway Thursday at New York’s Ambassador Theatre, the creator of “Peanuts” appears impressed-but not by the cover depicting silhouettes of his famous pair, jug-eared Charlie and his floppy-eared beagle Snoopy. The cartoonist who immortalized that expression and the equally exasperated “Rats!”-the strongest epithets ever uttered by his trusty band of head-heavy comic strip characters-seems genuinely stunned as he sits at the wood, plexiglass and chrome desk that also serves as his easel here inside his cozy suite of offices at a wooded address that is-really-One Snoopy Place. If looks could talk or came equipped with their own cartoon balloons, there’s no doubt what exclamation would accompany this silver-haired study in skepticism: “Good Grief!” is plastered all over Charles M. ![]() ![]() You may also be glad to find that some days are like that for other people too.
