The News Brothers

Pages : 241
Book Description
The news business today is much different from those talked about in this book. The old days of knowing the English language and writing good grammatical sentences has gone. As Jean Shelton told me many years ago, “During the Depression, teachers got jobs wherever they could. Ours had a PhD from Berkeley. She drilled all of us boys with good English grammar all through our schooling.” With this in mind, you might understand why the Shelton boys became journalists. Their days in the business carried them in many different directions—some everyday occurrences, others very intriguing such as the Kennedy assignation. This book covers their lives and the news business.

Around Sherman
Author: Annette Swan
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467108472
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
When Sherman's first settler, Dearing Dorman, came to live in the town in 1823, he laid claim to land that was plentiful with trees and rich soil. With the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, more settlers started making their way to this area of Chautauqua County, helping the town of Sherman to grow rapidly. And with French Creek running through the township, it seemed only logical that the village of Sherman would start to take shape near the creek. Sherman's history runs deep through these early settlers and is evident in the town's commitment to keep its history and traditions alive through the Yorker Museum and annual Sherman School Alumni Reunion and Sherman Day celebrations.

Book Description
It: Chapter Two—now a major motion picture! Stephen King’s terrifying, classic #1 New York Times bestseller, “a landmark in American literature” (Chicago Sun-Times)—about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled on as teenagers…an evil without a name: It. Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers. Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It. “Stephen King’s most mature work” (St. Petersburg Times), “It will overwhelm you…to be read in a well-lit room only” (Los Angeles Times).

Alcohol in Popular Culture
Author: Rachel Black
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 031338049X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This encyclopedia presents the many sides of America's ongoing relationship with alcohol, examining the political history, pivotal events, popular culture, and advances in technology that have affected its consumption. From the constant advertising messages from beer, wine and liquor manufacturers to parties, weddings, and other social gatherings where alcohol is served to after-work happy hours with coworkers, the influence and presence of alcohol are inescapable in the United States. According to a government source, 50 percent of American adults identified themselves as "regular drinkers" (having at least 12 drinks in the past year). This encyclopedia presents an overview of the entire history of alcohol in America from the first colonies to present day, focusing on the often-marginalized and pop culture aspects of alcohol use and misuse. Entries illuminate topics such as the favorite alcoholic beverages in America; how they are manufactured; the role of alcohol in everyday life, special events, and across history; the impacts of alcohol consumption on society and health; and much more. Connections and influences from outside the United States are also considered for some topics.
