Preston Waddington well understood that corporate survival in the auto industry meant finding a way to make himself indispensable. That objective, however, did not include becoming involved in a product defect cover up, having an affair with the CEO's wife, finding himself in the middle of a law suite, stumbling across a scam involving his father-in-law the car dealer, confronting a hostile dealer body and, finally, facing the prospect of being invited by the board of directors to "fall on his sword."

Joanna Olenska grew up in a strict, Brooklyn Catholic orphanage and at eighteen escaped to Manhattan in search of a dream that has remained just beyond her reach for nearly twelve years. Jay Carraway has abandoned the opulent, secure life of North Greenwich, Connecticut to come to New York and pursue a career very different from the family owned mega-business that he was intended to inherit.Set against the background of the TV commercial production and advertising world of New York City during the late '50s, the novel tells that story of how Jay falls in love with Joanna and pursues her tenaciously, only to find that, for a long time, his love for her is a solo act. Joanna, four years his senior, regards him as simply a nice guy out of his element, having come from a life that she can barely comprehend, populated with people whose attitudes toward her she does not understand. Hardened by the life of a struggling actress, Joanna has wrapped herself in an emotionally protective veneer. In time, she gives in to his openness, his respect, his emotional support and lets him penetrate her shell.Elliot Pierce, a TV commercial director that hires Jay to work for him, lurks as a threat to their happiness because of his past relationship with Joanna. Elliot lives his life on a seamy edge, always giving in to his libido, yet determined to pursue a phantom dream that, in his heart, he is afraid he might catch.The aristocratic, snobbish mother of Jay regards Joanna as an unwelcome social interloper. Her efforts to destroy their relationship set in motion events take Jay years to reclaim that which he has lost and to answer questions that have haunted him since a late summer day in 1957.

When the rockets came over our hooches on their way to our helicopters 150 meters north of our living quarters, they were no higher than one hundred feet above us. . . . At that instant, a rocket struck in the middle of the compound. . . . I was suddenly floating eight feet in the air looking down at some guy on a bunk.''

Beagle Tales 5

Bob Ford has been hunting rabbits since he was a kid and has traveled the country with hunting beagles. One thing about being a successful hunter is that you will get to enjoy wild game at your kitchen table. Over the years, Ford has developed many recipes for rabbit, and you will find just a few of them here. He developed these recipes over more than three decades. Some go back to meals that the author’s mother made. Visits to restaurants inspired others. An abundance of harvested rabbits inspired some of the recipes, while others were created for those hunts where just one rabbit is brought to the game vest. Rabbit meat (domesticated) is now very popular, and while Bob created these recipes with wild game, they certainly would work well with domesticated rabbits as well, making adjustments for the increased size of domesticated rabbits. Rabbits are a sustainable source of protein and very low in fat. The contents of this book are recipes developed by a good hunter, who is a good home cook.
