Jump aboard and travel along on this unsettling journey through trials, convictions, incarcerations and finally that point of no return. Partner with a desperate father as he decides to take revenge on the person he holds responsible for a series of crimes that tear his life apart.

Compare your actions to those of this man and see how they affect you. What would you do? As I put this together I tried to figure what I would do and I must admit I was shocked at my reaction at times. Whatever your final decision I am sure you will have as many questions at the end as you did in the beginning.

The strange situation that I found myself in was how willing I was to accept this mans solution. I guess we all see things through our own filter and in many cases we are able to justify even the unsavory acts if they are couched in the right set of circumstances.

Good reading.

On April 15, 1920, five bandits robbed and killed a paymaster and his guard in a Boston suburb. The police charged Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti with the crime. They were local immigrant workers associated with a detested anarchist group. A year later, a jury convicted Sacco and Vanzetti of murder during a period of anti-communist hysteria in America. They were executed after six years of failed appeals, despite proven misconduct by prosecutors and the judge and a confessed participant in the crime who swore that the two Italians were not involved. Worldwide protests erupted. Millions claimed the two were framed and executed for their political beliefs.Author Ted Grippo takes the reader through the trial, disclosing and examining new documents and other recently discovered evidence supporting a conspiracy to frame Sacco and Vanzetti. While the debate over their guilt may continue for some, "With Malice Aforethought" will end the argument for many.* * * *"A comprehensive history of shocking abuses of the criminal justice system that resulted in the conviction and execution of Sacco and Vanzetti." -Greg Jones, former First Assistant US Attorney"An important story revealing the treatment of Italian immigrants in 1920s America."-Bill Dal Cerro, President, Italic Institute of America.

COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF LYNCHING Published by the NAACP in 1919 to promote awareness of lynching in the United States, this seminal study provides information on the lynchings of 3,224 African-Americans between 1889 and 1918. With a new introduction by noted slave historian, Paul Finkelman. "The book reprinted here is one of the most comprehensive studies of lynching in U.S. history. The NAACP data shows that most lynchings were not about interracial sex-the great paranoia of the southern white Americans. Many blacks were lynched because they had allegedly committed murders. However, many of these "murderers" were never tried and the evidence against them was speculative at best. But other blacks were lynched for no apparent reason, or for some minor transgression of social and racial rules-as understood by whites-such as 'inflammatory language, ' 'insulting remarks to a white woman, ' 'being disreputable, ' or just 'race prejudice.' This last cause-racial prejudice-was indeed at the root of almost all lynchings of African-Americans." -- Paul Finkelman, Introduction CONTENTS Summation of the Facts Disclosed in Tables The Story of One Hundred Lynchings Appendix I-Analyses of Number of Persons Lynched Appendix II-Chronological List of Persons Lynched in United States 1889 to 1918, Inclusive, Arranged by State

"Having written about New Mexico history for more than forty years," explains the author, "it was perhaps inevitable that in time I should publish a few articles on Billy the Kid. After all, he is the one figure from this state's past whose name is known around the world. The Kid's career, although astonishingly short, nonetheless, left an indelible mark in the annals of the Old West. And his name, William H. Bonney, alias Billy the Kid, seems locked forever into the consciousness of the starry-eyed public. "Upon request," the author continues, "I was able to assemble a collection of my varied writings pertaining to some of Billy's real or imagined deeds. Each section opens a small window on an aspect of his tumultuous life, or casts light upon others whose fortunes intersected with his. In this book, I have stalked Billy in an erratic rather than a systematic way, taking pleasure merely in adding a few new and unusual fragments to his biography. I trust that readers who have a fascination with the history and legend of Billy the Kid will find in these pages something of interest and value. As Eugene Cunningham wrote more than seventy years ago, 'in our imagination the Kid still lives--the Kid still rides.'" Marc Simmons is a professional author and historian who has published more than forty books on New Mexico and the American Southwest. His popular "Trail Dust" column is syndicated in several regional newspapers. In 1993, King Juan Carlos of Spain admitted him to the knightly Order of Isabel la Catolica for his contributions to Spanish colonial history.

While in Trauma Room 1, Dallas, Texas, Aubrey Rike found himself at the center of an unparalleled time in history, and in doing so, assumed the unscripted yet essential role of providing selfless and heartfelt assistance to Jacqueline Kennedy.The emotional incident Aubrey shares is at times heartbreaking, and brings unashamed tears to his eyes as he relates those private moments with Mrs. Kennedy. Now a poignant memory, Aubrey s experience also reveals some less than admirable dynamics demonstrated as the result of the death of an extraordinary leader. Sherry Fiester, Editor

"The Family Debt" is a tribute to the author's father, Giacomo "Jack" Bianco. He was a man who lived his life with passion for his family, a man who worked hard at everything he did. His unselfish nature was exposed year after year, experience after experience. Giacomo was undoubtedly a family man who never let his family down; no matter the cost.

Never asking questions, he simply chose to rise to the occasion time after time to preserve the integrity of his family and to protect his personal and business interests. He didn't make excuses, he simply delivered what was required, when it was required.

Then suddenly one day the core of the family was taken forever; his life was extinguished. Over time, more questions surfaced, but unfortunately no answers or explanations. Did he know how steep the price would be to protect his family?

The detectives and investigators, they were simply told to "shelve the investigation." This happened only three days after this horrible murder, a file never to be opened again. Almost forty years later the same questions still pierce the silence once filled by a father's voice. His family's thoughts are finally revealed and shared for the first time.
