During these years Franklin also helped write our nation’s Constitution and planned an American Empire that would displace the British Empire.įranklin is one of the most fascinating of the Founding Fathers-a polymath like Jefferson, a practical statesman like Washington, and a cynic and wit beyond parallel. He lived another thirty-three full, eventful, and dramatic years, some of the most dramatic years in American history, years in which Franklin was America’s advocate in London, represented Pennsylvania in the Continental Congress, and was America’s wartime ambassador to France.

In The Girls of Murder City, Douglas Perry, the online features editor of The Oregonian, tells their stories in delicious and devilish detail. These days, almost no one knows that Chicago was inspired by the trials and acquittals of Belva Gaertner, a former cabaret dancer who left the stage to marry one of America's leading manufacturers of scientific instruments and Beulah Annan, a beauty whose favorite record was "Hula Lou," the tale of a "gal who never could be true." In 2002, Chicago returned to Hollywood - and won the Academy Award for Best Picture. In 1975, a musical adaptation by director and choreographer Bob Fosse took Broadway by storm, went on tour and reappeared 20 years later to become the longest-running revival on the Great White Way. Fifteen years later, Twentieth Century Fox remade Chicago as a talkie. DeMille produced a silent-movie version of the play. Written by crime reporter Maurine Watkins, the play sought to "put an end to the ghastly business of railroading pretty women safely through murder trials by making fools of the solemn jurymen."Ĭhicago has been a staple of American popular culture ever since.

This story was slow to ok where as the others were good to great. I though this was a bit of a downer to finish on. The sixth story was also set in the Carve the mark universe but introduces a new character far away from the main characters. This is almost a story of two halves.the first part I though was great the second part was a bit slower and was just ok. The fifth story is set in the Carve the mark universe and has the back story story and a untold tale of a couple of the main characters. I would have been interested in any of these being expanded into series. The dark scifi and characters looking to get through their lives was great. I really enjoyed most of this book the first 4 stories I though were great.
