Small Sacrifices by Ann Rule - Review

Small sacrifices is another Ann Rule masterpiece, that tells the story of small town, Oregon resident, Diane Downs and how it is that she got to the point of no return. Diane Downs took her three children to a rural, back road, pointed a pistol through the car window and she shot to kill.

After performing this cold blooded act, Diane then proceeded to drive her children to the hospital. The first female child to be carried into the hospital was dead upon arrival. Two other children were rushed through the doors one after another. The second and third child, a young boy and girl, barely clung to life. The hospital staff worked feverishly to stabilize the surviving children as their mother acted indifferent.

Upon being questioned by Lane County detectives, Diane Downs told the story of meeting a stranger on the back road, who stopped her car, initiated an argument with her and as she struggled with him, he proceeded to shoot her children, right before her eyes.

Over the following months Mrs. Downs changed the story of what happened and her suspicions so many times that she made herself the prime suspect.

As prosecutor Fred Hugi got more familiar with the case and met the surviving children he vowed to continue investigating the case until it was solved, once and for all.

No one is entirely sure why Diane Downs wanted to dispose of her children, It is suspected that the motivation may have resulted from her obsession with Lew Lewiston, who was a casual fling and fellow employee she met at the Chandler post office. Mr. Lewiston refused to leave his wife for Diane and did not want to raise another man's children.

Whatever her reasoning, the murder weapon was eventually traced to a man who had reported it stolen, potentially by Steve Downs, who is identified as the children's father, therefore giving Diane Downs access to it.

The surviving children, Christie and Danny eventually remembered what happened and with the evidence and their testimonies, their own mother, Diane Downs was convicted and sentenced to the Valley State prison for women located in Chowchilla, California where she continues to be a model prisoner and protests her innocence.

During the length of the case Detective Hugi found himself becoming closer and closer to the Downs children. Christie and Danny Downs are happy, well taken care of and currently reside with Detective Freg Hugi and his wife Joanne.

The Humanity of Justice, By: Burke E Strunsky

"The Humanity of Justice" is possibly the best book I've ever read on the modern American justice system. Relying on his own experiences as a Senior Deputy District Attorney in southern California, Burke E. Strunsky frames it this way: in a democracy, the justice system should not just be the objective interpretation of laws by professionals and systematic doling out of punishments based on precedents. The justice system is also an ongoing pursuit of what justice means. After reading Chapter 4, "The Jury: The Heart of American Justice," I had a renewed appreciation for the jury system as a quintessential component of a democracy. The jury is the "we" in "we the people." That is, the people have the responsibility and honor of deciding what justice is. Therefore, justice is a reflection of the moral will of the people. This book is about the people: the humanistic qualities and components of our justice system, but it is also a convincing argument that human emotions are a necessary supplement to logic and reason in deciding the psychological and sociological implications of crime, punishment and cultural analysis.

Strunsky doesn't mystify the reader with romanticizations of courtroom drama and complexities of the law one might find in a Hollywood crime drama or a law class respectively. It is a demystification, but an enlightening one. While this seems like an overzealous or glorifying review, the book deserves this encomium because it integrates justice and the role of humanity itself within the ongoing project of American society as the pursuit of justice. When you finish reading it, to be sure, you will come away with a better understanding of the American justice system and you will be implored to look at real and fictional criminal cases with more critical eyes. You might consider, or reconsider, the very idea of justice, not just as some drifting abstract signifier, extracted from case law and dispassionately applied to subsequent crimes, but rather what it really is in a democratic justice system: something "we the people" reconstruct with each particular case. Strunsky provides ethical and practical comments in discussing some of his past cases (often brutal and horrific crimes he has prosecuted). This commentary never seems partisan and is always an elucidation. In other words, he does not dazzle you with incomprehensible court jargon; he explains it. For example, rather than using tactics to "trick" the jury into seeing a case his way, he explains (often misunderstood) jargon such as "abiding conviction" and "reasonable doubt" so the jury knows exactly what the court is talking about. He wants the jury (and all citizens) to recognize their individual roles in a social dynamic, to think like humans (thus, the title).

Among these broad contexts of justice and humanity, are the cases themselves. Some issues in the examples discussed are: flaws in capital punishments, the hypocrisy of clergy-penitent privilege, and the effective use of narrative in arguing the case. Strunsky presents the argument that we can improve upon these and other issues with a common sense (humanistic) approach to the pursuit of justice. Strunsky also devotes considerable time to crime prevention: socially in terms of gun control (a common sense look at this controversial topic) but also the economic, individual, and psychological precursors of crime: from prenatal care to adulthood. Strunsky brings what I think is a necessarily subjective, human spirit to supplement what is often thought of as an objective, law-written-in-stone institution.

Book Review - Mob Fest '29: The True Story About the Birth of Organized Crime

Mob Fest '29: The True Story About the Birth of Organized Crime was written by veteran mob writer Bill Tonelli, and while I don't think this is a great book, it's certainly an excellent book that deserves your attention. Tonelli has written about organized crime for the New York Times, Slate and Philadelphia Magazine, as well as several full-length books on the subject, certainly an impressive resume and not one of whom is wet behind the ears as far as the mob is concerned.

I would have given this book 4 ½ stars if that were possible, but since it's not on Amazon's options list, I gave it the full five stars.

It's exasperating and I really don't understand the caustic one-star reviews that are splashed across the review page of this book. Saying Mob Fest '29 is poorly written may be an opinion, but it also may be a vendetta. Look up the term sock puppeteers and you'll get an understanding of what I'm talking about. In my opinion, and I've been a published writer for almost 40 years, this is a well-written book; maybe a little rude in spots, but certainly well enough written that Tonelli keeps the reader reading, and that's the result any good writer strives for anyway.

In these one-star reviews, readers complain Tonelli is quoting other books to make a point. Well, that's exactly what writers do. They research books related to the subject they are writing about and they attribute the quotes, instead of writing them like they were their own original words.

Tonelli, a true pro, did extensive research for this book, going as far as to interview top-notch crime writers like Jimmy Breslin and Mike Dash. Concerning the legendary (imaginary?) huge Atlantic City mob summit in 1929, Tonelli digests the facts as he sees them. Then he comes to a conclusion, which I won't divulge for obvious reasons. I happen to not totally agree with Tonelli's conclusion, but I understand his reasoning and he may be right about certain events or non-events, which, according to mob lore, have always been presented as gospel when they may have been total bunk.

For instance, there is a question as to the validity of the famous photo of Chicago mobster Al Capone bouncing on the Atlantic City boardwalk with Atlantic City mob boss Enoch "Nucky" Johnson and three other mob dignitaries (This picture is on the cover Mob Fest '29). Capone is on the far left and Johnson is on the far right.
Was the picture a phony posted in the Heart-owned New York Evening Journal to discredit Johnson? According to Johnson - it was.

Tonelli noted in Mob Fest '29, which was originally posted in Chance of a Lifetime by Grace D'Amato, "I never walked with Capone. I told people that the New York Evening Journal's photographer superimposed two photographs. If you noticed, I had a summer suit on, while Capone and his cronies had on winter clothes."

The supposed reason why Hearst would do such a dirty deed to Johnson was that Johnson was fooling around with Hearst's girlfriend and Hearst hit Johnson where it hurt him most: in his reputation.

Like Tonelli says in Mob Fest '29, "Hearst was the press baron who instigated the Spanish-American War to boost readership. After that, faking a photograph didn't seem much of an ethical stretch."

Despite the troubling one-star reviews, mob aficionados should enjoy Mob Fest '29.

I know I did.

Connected: Mob Stories From My Past - Review

This is not a sentimental world. Crime occurs on a daily--or rather, a second to second--basis. Some of these crimes are committed by individuals with no conscience or ability to comprehend (or care) about the consequences of their actions. Others, however (and some of the most horrific), are carried out by loving fathers, family men, church members, and little league coaches. In Dr. Joe Ferry's novel entitled Connected: Mob Stories From My Past we are shown a bizarre, and at the same time a surprisingly comical, subculture of American society: it is the world of 'the mafia,' a secret network of bosses, hit men, and godfathers with one foot in the old world and one hand in - well, nearly every aspect of American life.

The narrator begins his story by telling us a little about his hero: his hard-working father who taught him how to be a man in the world. Then juxtaposed against a few reflective thoughts regarding his early family life, we are told that his father was a mob Don who killed anyone who crossed him. For a normal boy the apparent contradiction between a life of crime and a comfortable middle class existence would perhaps be enough to baffle the mind; or stunt a young man's moral and spiritual growth. Fortunately our narrator was never 'a normal boy' - but a highly intelligent individual with the capacity to integrate his experiences as a mob Don's son into his life as a student, an athlete, a musician, a record producer, a college professor, and a loving husband.

In Ferry's portrait of an artist as a young mobster, we are given insights into the interworking of an organization "connected" to the larger New York mafia. Yet more significantly, we are taken on a journey into the psychologically complex personality of the narrator himself. Our ability to come to terms with the underground world in which he grew up rests upon understanding the internal dialogue--and the demons--that constitute our narrator's consciousness.

"My mom always said that I was Trouble, almost from birth. The nickname took. So that's what you can call me. For as long as I can remember, the two things I enjoyed doing most were walking and stealing." This simple statement whereby our narrator introduces himself to the reader goes a long way in summarizing his personality. On one hand, Trouble was a product of his environment; the son of one of New York's most ruthless mobsters (and a man with a mean streak). Yet at the same time, from an early age Trouble exhibited a sensitive, contemplative side. And as a young "mobster in training," learning the ins and outs of mob-life from the best in the business, he also developed an interest in--and a real talent for--music. So when one saw Trouble Ventura walking the streets of New York City, it was difficult to tell whether he was taking a walk to 'clear his mind,' or heading towards his next 'music gig,' or on his way to 'shake a guy down.'

One day Trouble's father gave his son this wise advice: "We are suited to our callings, boy. Make no excuses for yourself. We are complex creatures. We are shadows of light. Good and bad." With these words the seeming contradiction between "the world of organized crime" and a life committed to art, family, and community is laid to rest. For as the narrator's father rightly remarks, this world--and human nature--is far too complex and variegated to reduce (experiences or people) into simplistic categories: such as 'good' and 'evil.'

Ostensibly a novel chronicling Trouble's formative years as a young mobster, the narrative is peppered with pearls of wisdom and comical anecdotes drawn from daily life. For example, in a chapter entitled "Girls Who Puked On Me" the narrator confesses that a surprising number of his most romantic relationships--and moments--have been ruined by spontaneous bouts of vomiting: as otherwise lovely women hurled their 'lunch' all over him (and his hopes of 'getting lucky'). In another chapter we encounter an eccentric elderly lady named Minnie Chestnut; who presents the author with authentic photographs and historic artifacts proving that she met Abraham Lincoln, dined with President John F. Kennedy, and spent intimate moments with Amelia Earhart and the great jazz legend Charlie Parker. Then in another chapter we are introduced to a history professor who possesses--'believe it or not'--the first LP in the history of the human race: a vintage clay pot (which has embedded in its decorative grooves a recording) from the eighteenth century; upon which our narrator and several music professors hear the voice and piano playing of one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The brilliance and beauty of these vignettes brings to light the real strength of the novel: since the stories Ferry tells are at times so outlandish, and yet written with the accuracy (or attention to detail) of a skilled biographer, the reader simply doesn't know what part of the novel is fantasy, and which part is historical fact. Aside from learning a great deal about his father's business, his time spent associating with colorful storytellers--i.e., mobsters--also taught our author how to spin a 'good yarn.' From the prologue to the final chapter, Connected: Mob Stories From My Past entertains and educates; simultaneously evoking horror and laughter in the reader. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates (and perhaps can stomach) the slapstick memoirs of an accomplished musician and mobster.

New Father and Son Cop Book Reveals the Hearts Beneath the Uniforms

At a time when television and movies are full of police stories, a father and son have come forth to present a real-life personal look into the lives of police officers. Far more than any episode of Cops can do in thirty minutes, Jim and Jay Padar's new book On Being a Cop brings us into the heart of a police family, showing not only the job that these brave men (and women) daily perform on the streets of Chicago, but also the relationships that police officers have with their families and their coworkers.

We expect action, drama, grisly murders, and high-speed chases from a cop book, but we might not expect the tales of officers struggling with their personal lives, the hardships that the job brings to their families, the interrupted Christmases and missed birthday parties, the need not to think about your own children while investigating the murder of a child, or what it is like to lose a fellow officer in the line of duty or to suicide. Walking a fine line between the sensational and the sentimental, On Being a Cop provides a balanced look at all aspects of a cop's career and life.

Author Jim Padar had a long career as a police officer beginning in the 1960s. He writes about such incidents as the riots in Chicago following Martin Luther King's assassination as well numerous homicide investigations he was involved with and his relationships with his partners and coworkers. His son Jay shares his own stories of both humorous and dangerous incidents, including emails to family and friends and their responses. In fact, the book began as a series of emails exchanged between father and son in which they started telling their stories of working Chicago's streets, and in time those stories were compiled into this book.

A wide range of stories fill this book, from a shooting at a commuter train to corpses found in barrels in a restaurant, and from rescuing people and parakeets from burning buildings to investigations that lead from Chicago to New York and Puerto Rico. In fact, there is so much variety among these stories that the interest and pace never lags. As Jay writes at the beginning of his story, "7 a.m.?": "Senators, Naked Gays, Schizophrenic Homeless, and a Polish Sausage. How do you tie that together in a short story? It's easy... for a cop." And with the exception of a couple of two-part longer stories, most of the stories are short and can be read individually and in any order.

It is hard for me to decide whether I have a favorite story in this book. It might be the story of Uncle Rocco, a small-time criminal who turns out to be the authors' relative, or perhaps it's the story of how Jim found his second wife with a little help from Jay, when he was only four years old. I loved the police humor, the jokes between officers to keep the stress and horror of their jobs at a distance, and I loved when I was so caught up in the story that I had to keep reading to see how an investigation would turn out and who would be revealed to be the true criminal. But perhaps most of all, I loved when a member of the public took the time to tell an officer to be careful or simply to say, "Thank you."

While there is plenty of sadness over the tragedies that these men have witnessed, there is also a lot of humor, and a great deal of their hearts and souls is revealed as they talk about their feelings for their families, their fellow officers, and why they continue to do a job for which they often get little thanks or appreciation. On Being a Cop makes you realize that police officers are human beings; that they have chosen a dangerous but rewarding job, and that they deserve respect, understanding, and most of all, admiration for the jobs they do every day.

Inspiring Science and Engineering: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest particle accelerator.

It lies up to 175 metres deep in parts below the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva in Switzerland and it's tunnel has a circumference of 27 kilometres.

This huge piece of engineering was collaborated on by over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries.

It was build with the aim of exploring many physics theories in the area of physics.

The Higgs Bozon is known by many as the God Particle and is said to contain enough energy to propel us into a new age. The discovery of such a particle could in fact create a new pathway in relation to how we power our day to day luxuries, such as our homes, cars, motorbikes, ovens, gadgets, swimming pools, 'if you're lucky enough to have one', I could go on here.

So how close are we to discovering this exiting particle? Well in fact after smashing electrons into themselves at very high speeds there have been moments where we came close, but at his moment not close enough.

What could happen if anything went wrong, well there is a slim chance a black hole will appear, it's nice to know people asked my opinion before building this...

But what does it actually do?

The Large Hadron Collider is a particle accelerator - a device that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to high speeds and to contain them in well defined beams.

The charged particles are accelerated and energised to very high speeds and then made to collide with other particles. The purpose of this collision is to allow scientists to view the byproducts created from the collision, these byproducts give us great insight into the sub-atomic world and the laws and behaviours of these sub-atomic particles.

The LHC is expected to answer many of the most fundamental questions in physics and give us greater insight into the workings of nature.

These questions cover such things as the interrelation between quantum mechanics and general relativity, the deep structure of space and time and the nature of dark matter. This amazing piece of science and engineering has already had a huge impact upon the science world with breakthroughs such as locating the Higgs Bozon, who knows what else will be discovered in this ground breaking area of science.

The Higgs Bozon is known as the god particle as it's said to contain the energy used at the start of the big bang, by finding this particle it will help scientists to create new forms of renewable clean energy as well as other possibilities such as space travel.

Book Review: Let There Be Light - The Story of Light From Atoms to Galaxies (2nd Edition)

This second edition of "Let there be Light: the Story of Light from Atoms to Galaxies" is, like the first edition, a delightful book. Light, or more generally electromagnetic radiation, is the vehicle that the authors use to traverse the broad subject of physics, and they do so in a humorous, gentle, yet serious manner. Although many of the topics have been revised - and the last chapter updated to cater for the emergence of the Higgs boson - the book has lost none of the appeal of the first edition. While the presentation is of a level suitable for third level students, there is much in the book that can whet the appetite of the bright senior school students engaged in their first serious study of the subject. Additionally, teachers of physics at second and third level will find insights and anecdotes aplenty to flavour the teaching process.

The book has a pleasant and light narrative flow, with excellent illustrations, photos, and occasional well-chosen "historical interludes". Topics are, nevertheless, treated with a good degree of rigour. In the second edition, most of the mathematical derivations, which appeared as appendices to the chapters of the first edition, have been replaced with verbal descriptions, and key mathematical statements are presented on "blackboards", all to make the book more accessible to the general reader. At risk of being considered decidedly old-fashioned, I admit to regretting the elimination of the mathematical appendices. Physics is well served by mathematics, and the serious student learns to appreciate the precision and clarity that mathematical analysis can bring to a topic.

The book attempts, with a good deal of success, to show an underlying connectivity between the seemingly disparate topics that confront the student embarking on a study of physics. It also places the topics in a historical context, emphasising the many human endeavours that have contributed to our remarkable modern understanding of the physical world. Affording due respect to the human endeavours that have led to great discoveries, without unnecessarily encumbering the student, is a delicate matter.

For example, we cannot expect a young student to follow Planck's torturous journey to his discovery of the quantisation of the energy of the atomic linear harmonic oscillator (as described so well in Malcolm Longair's recent book "Quantum Concepts in Physics"). With the benefit of hindsight, one can simplify the story to one much more amenable to the student, but one is in danger that a phrase such as "Planck's discovery of light quanta" (as quoted in the Preface) will find its way into the narrative. The story is correctly told in pages 18 and 19, and due acknowledgement is made to Einstein, who in 1905 extended Planck's idea of quantisation to light itself.

For the true physicist, there is a wondrous beauty in physics. This book is much in sympathy with this viewpoint, and it ends by quoting Abdus Salaam on the faith of all physicists: "the deeper we seek the more is our wonder excited". This may be the book that affords the struggling student a glimpse of the beauty that makes the serious study of physics so worthwhile.
