John Wilkes Booth was a star - the Errol Flynn of the 19th Century
Shakespearean stage. Called the most handsome man in America, rich,
dashing, and romantic, Booth was the favored son of a famous
family, the darling of theatrical circles, a daring swashbuckler
on-stage and off, the idol of hundreds of beautiful women. At age
26, he seemed to have it all. Nothing was beyond his reach. But
behind Booth's dark good looks and flashing wit lurked a deadly
obsession -- a burning hatred for the United States government and
its president, Abraham Lincoln. On the night of April 14, 1865,
Booth ignited a conspiracy to bring down that government - he
became America's first terrorist, and altered America's destiny
forever. Special Edition featuring an interview with the author,
and the tribute piece "Pay Back."
Rick Boston is a former investigative reporter, novelist and
screenwriter, rapidly approaching 50, who no longer writes. He
spends his days drinking in a Hollywood dive bar, and his nights
getting involved with younger women: Meredith, an auburn-haired
beauty who might be on the run from dark forces, or who's maybe
just plain crazy; Darcy, 30 year's Boston's junior, a talented
screenwriter with Natalie Wood looks, a wispy voice, and the soul
of a she-wolf; Madison, searching for her "maybe crazy" sister
Meredith, enticing Boston into a bizarre adventure in Mexico. Then
there's Carmen Delgado, who might be the love of Boston's life, if
she and Boston can keep from wrecking each other... Written in the
classic noir style, "I Only Wanna Be With You" is a poignant,
witty, picaresque novel of lost souls searching for love in the
crazy-quilt world of contemporary Los Angeles.
Vietnam, late summer 1968. An international crew of war
correspondents covers the bloody conflict from their headquarters
in Saigon's Hotel Continental. As the death toll mounts and the war
grinds on, "Deadline" examines the question of what's the news -
and how we, the public, are NOT told what is the true story.
