![]() ![]() Those families and Congress pushed, and are pushing, to mold Military Criminal Investigative Organizations, or MCIOs, and their cold case practices into a standardized Defense Department-wide blueprint. ![]() ![]() Other services created specialized cold case groups years ago, but the Army held off until February 2022 when its Criminal Investigation Division established the cold case unit.Īnd while the Army fought major wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the cases of those mysteriously lost were left stranded on the CID's Cold Case roster, haunting reminders to families who may never see their loved ones again or find closure in burial. Now, under the shadow of decades of military cold case history and unyielding pressure from families and Congress, the Army is finally building one. Until last year, the Army didn't have a formal unit to try to close those kinds of difficult investigations. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With his championship-tested mind and high-profile pedigree, Pollack is just the person to defend the pun as wordplay that goes well beyond its frequent derision as the lowest form of humor. Especially when two words can sound exactly alike." "And if you think about it, it's incredibly complex. "The brain goes through some incredible gymnastics to capture the meaning of puns," Pollack tells Weekend Edition Sunday's Liane Hanson. But with his new book, The Pun Also Rises, he's returned to his longtime love. Puns are sometimes cringe inducing - but sometimes they hit the funny bone at just the right place, and besides, the pun is actually the subject of serious academic study.Īfter he won the Pun-Off championship, Pollack put that penchant for verbal manipulation to work as a presidential speechwriter for Bill Clinton. If you groaned at that joke, you're not alone. Henry Pun-Off World Champion, for an example, and he'll have something like this at his fingertips: The definition of "pun" might be hard to put a finger on, but ask John Pollack, the 1995 O. "The most common type of pun is the humorous use of a word in such a way that because of its sound, you can interpret it in more than one way." "A pun is notoriously difficult to define, but it's a type of wordplay, and it takes many different forms," says John Pollack.

While in Kenya, Dinesen met Denys Finch Hatton, and the two maintained a romance until his death in an airplane accident in 1931. The marriage was difficult, and the couple eventually divorced. In 1914, she married Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke and traveled to Kenya, where they started a coffee plantation. Dinesen wrote in English and then translated her stories into her native Danish, resulting in unusually beautiful prose that emphasized her self-declamation as a fortaellerske-an oral storyteller. An imaginative and artistic child, she attended the Royal Academy in Copenhagen and also studied in England, Switzerland, Italy and France. Isak Dinesen was born Karen Blixen at her family’s estate near the town of Rungsted, Denmark, in 1885. ![]() ![]() ![]() And, now they’re the vehicle I use to tell my own naughty stories. Later, as an adult, they offered a level of entertainment, with their gay content, no television show or trip to the movie theatre could even come close to matching. In my teen years they allowed me to escape a strictly religious home life and venture into worlds where being gay wasn’t an unequivocal sentence to a fiery place of damnation. Throughout my life books have offered me a safe place. Books are my passion, they’re my entertainment, my escape, and they’re my hobby. *smiles* I don’t’ know if it applies to all authors, but the often repeated I’m a reader first, and an author second definitely rings true for me. ![]() I’m going to veer off for a bit, but I promise to return to the topic. Additionally, there’s no implication of weakness – which is another important point. Indeed, nothing that I can see within the definition implies something being done to me (without my consent) or being taken from me (without my consent). As a submissive, I believe that act of giving is a gift, and it’s something I take enormous pride in. The most important word in that definition, as it applies to this article, is act. ![]() An act of submitting to the authority or control of another ![]() ![]() Snowmen at Night shared with us the magical, slip-sliding adventures of snowmen after dark.

If you remove Vidal’s name and legacy from Thieves Fall Out, what you’re left with is fairly standard pulp fare. The new edition was released in April of this year. After the author passed away in 2012, Ardai approached his agent and estate and was granted permission to reprint the book. ![]() When the book came to the attention of Hard Case Crime founder Charles Ardai, he immediately approached Vidal about republishing it, but Vidal wasn’t interested. ![]() Vidal wrote the novel when he was 28, and reportedly never thought much of it. It has remained in obscurity since then, unavailable in any new printing and unknown to all but a handful of readers and scholars who knew the truth: “Cameron Kay” was actually respected American writer Gore Vidal. Written by an unheralded author known as Cameron Kay, this minor piece of pulp fiction came and went without much fanfare. In 1953, Fawcett Gold Medal published Thieves Fall Out, a crime novel set against a backdrop of political unrest in Egypt. ![]() The Hard Case Crime edition of Gore Vidal’s ‘Thieves Fall Out.’ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One 19th-century critic wrote approvingly that “she sets her face zealously against romantic attachments.” While other women writers of her time like Fanny Burney were reviled as trashy, Austen’s lack of interest in high drama and romance made her work acceptable to male readers as well as to women. She has been one of the most frequently adapted novelists of the modern era, with only six completed books to her name.Īusten’s relative lack of sentiment also helped her gain popularity and respect as a writer in a male-dominated century of literature. She was a wryly observant comedian first, and a romantic second, and this is part of what has made her novels so popular with Hollywood. It’s not that there was no romance in Austen’s books - you know she thought Darcy was a dish - but it was always a subordinate theme to Austen’s many other social concerns. To the average book reader, Austen is among the most well-known writers of this frothy genre, so named because it explores the passions and privileges of British aristocrats during the short but heady period between 18, when the country was run by the indolent prince regent, the soon-to-be George IV.īut if there’s a single mistaken apprehension about Jane Austen, it’s this: Her books aren’t romance novels at all - at least not what modern readers think of as historical romance. ![]() It is a truth universally acknowledged - at least among romance readers - that whenever someone brings up the Regency romance, the sentence that follows must inevitably mention Jane Austen. ![]() |
