# The Gun (Chivers book)

The Gun is a nonfiction book written by journalist C. J. Chivers about the AK-47 rifle and its variants, and the impact they have had on the world. It covers the origins of the design, its invention and distribution, and the consequences of the pattern's spread around the world.

## Synopsis

A prologue relates two events in 1949 in the Soviet Union marking the beginning of the Cold War: the first Soviet nuclear test and innovation in the development of the automatic rifle; the former made total war unwinnable and the latter made smaller proxy wars the principal activity of the Cold War, and automatic rifles would prove the most lethal weapons of the Cold War.

### Origins

Roughly the first third of the book is devoted to the history of the development of automatic firearms, including the biographies of Hiram Maxim, Richard Gatling, Paul Mauser, John T. Thompson, their eponymous automatic weapons, and their impact on warfare.

### Invention and distribution

Chivers deconstructs the Soviet origin mythology of the Kalashnikov rifle. Chivers draws in part from his interview of Mikhail Kalashnikov.

### Aftermath

Roughly the final third of the book covers the contest between the AK-47 and the M16 in the Vietnam War, and the spread of the adoption of the AK-47 by criminal, non-military, non-state actors.

## Reviews

Reviews were generally favorable. Reviewers contrasted the broad scope of the book (automatic rifles) with its nominal scope (the Kalashnikov rifles), and noted the coverage of both technical aspects and social impacts and that the narrative is a human story, involving inventors, generals, and casualties. According to reviewers, Chivers' experiences as Marine, journalist, and weapons expert informed the work. The most common criticism was that some topics were considered diversions by reviewers who took the central topic to be the development of the Kalashnikov pattern or the contest between the AK-47 and the United States' M16 in the Vietnam War.

Her uncle’s ranch foreman, Judd Farrow, masquerading as a priest, breaks her out of jail and escorts Ellen to a safe hideout at her uncle’s ranch in New Mexico. Her uncle has enough influence to block extradition of Ellen back to Texas.
Her father-in-law, Mace Beldon, determined to avenge the killing of his son, hires gunman Gil McCord for $5,000 to track down Ellen and bring her back to Texas. Gil hires on as a cowhand and then kidnaps Ellen and they head back to Texas. On the way, Farrow intercepts them and is killed by Gil. The pair also survive an ambush by Indians. Ellen explains to Gil that her husband was murdered by his step-brother, Kell Beldon, who wants to be sole heir to their father's money and land; and, a man named Elby Kirby witnessed the killing.

# The Lake Gun

"The Lake Gun" is a satirical short story by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1850. The short story was commissioned by George E. Wood for $100, and published in a miscellany titled The Parthenon. It was reprinted in Specimens of American Literature in New York in 1866. The short story satirizes political demagoguery, focused on William Henry Seward.
The story was reprinted in 1932 by publisher William Farquhar Payson in a limited edition with illustrations.
The title of the story comes from a mysterious loud exploding sound coming from Seneca Lake, called "The Lake Gun" by European American settlers to the area, and known today as the Seneca Guns. These sounds remain unexplained to this day, with no clear or agreed-upon cause.

## Plot summary

The story takes place on Seneca Lake in Central New York in the early nineteenth century. On Seneca Lake could be heard loud explosions which observers labeled "The Lake Gun." The source is unknown but the Native Americans consider it the voice of the Manitou, their god. There is also the "Wandering Jew," a tree trunk that floats on the lake blown by winds and currents.
Fuller, a traveler to the Finger Lakes, after hearing accounts of the "lake gun" and the "Wandering Jew", hires a boat with which he explores the mysteries accompanied by Peter.
Fuller notices an Iroquois of the Seneca tribe gazing at the lake one morning. He is college-educated. Wearing buckskin leggings and a blanket, he has returned to visit his ancestral home. He looks at the Swimming Seneca, the "Wandering Jew". They hear the "lake gun" sound. The Iroquois explains their origin.
There was once a demagogue, a chief, See-wise, who did not follow the traditions of the Seneca as established by the Great Spirit, Manitou. He decided that fishing could be done whenever people wanted. This went against the dictates of Manitou. But he was able to get youthful supporters for his cause. He then disappeared without a trace.
He was changed into a trunk of a tree floating in the lake according to the account. He would float for a thousand years. When he dived to fish, Manitou would warn him to stop, which was the "lake gun" explosion heard.
The Iroquois explains the lasting impression made upon him by the legend: "I cannot say. The things learned in childhood remain the longest on the memory. They make the deepest marks. I have seen the evil that a demagogue can do among the pale-faces; why should I not believe the same among my own people!"
When Peter sails close to the trunk, he points out its appearance, a shape that resembles a human face. It appears like a retreating forehead and a hatchet-shaped face. These are features that mimic William Henry Seward's appearance as noted by Robert E. Spiller.
The story concludes with a warning against demagoguery: "The man or the people that trust in God will find a lake for every See-wise"

## 1932 republication

The story was republished in 1932 as a limited edition stand-alone book by publisher William Farquhar Payson with an introduction by Robert E. Spiller. This edition was printed by Fritz Peters and contained illustrations.
# The Lake District Murder

The Lake District Murder is a 1935 detective novel by the British writer John Bude. It is the first in a series of novels featuring Chief Inspector Meredith, promoted at the end of case to Superintendent. Set in the Lake District of Northern England, it shows the influence of Freeman Wills Crofts's Inspector French novels by featuring a detective who methodically breaks down the alibis of his suspects. In 2014 it was reissued by the British Library Publishing as part of a group of republished crime novels from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.

## Synopsis

The body of a man is found at the lonely filling station in Cumbria where he is a partner, asphyxiated by car exhaust fumes. It is at first taken to be suicide until several discrepancies prompt the police to take a closer look. Meredith and his colleagues begin to suspect that the dead man has been silenced by his associates in some elaborate criminal scheme using a series of petrol deliveries as a front. Only by uncovering this can they hope to solve the murder case.
# The Language of Flowers (Elgar)

"The Language of Flowers" is an unpublished song from a poem by the American geologist and poet James Gates Percival, with music written by the English composer Edward Elgar when he was only fourteen years old.
It is dated 29 May 1872, inscribed "by Edward W. Elgar", with "words by Percival" (at first thought to be Elgar himself) and dedicated "to my sister Lucy on her birthday."

## Lyrics

THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS
    In Eastern lands they talk in flow'rs
       And they tell in a garland their loves and cares;
    Each blossom that blooms in their garden bowr's,
       On its leaves a mystic language bears.
    The rose is a sign of joy and love,
       Young blushing love in its earliest dawn,
    And the mildness that suits the gentle dove,
       From the myrtle's snowy flow'rs is drawn.
    Innocence gleams in the lily's bell,
       Pure as the heart in its native heaven.
    Fame's bright star and glory's swell
       By the glossy leaf of the bay are given.
    The silent, soft and humble heart,
       In the violet's hidden sweetness breathes,
    And the tender soul that cannot part,
       In a twine of evergreen fondly wreathes.
    The cypress that daily shades the grave,
       Is sorrow that moans her bitter lot,
    And faith that a thousand ills can brave,
       Speaks in thy blue leaves "forget-me-not".
    Then gather a wreath from the garden bowers,
       And tell the wish of thy heart in flowers.

## Recordings

"The Unknown Elgar" includes "The Language of Flowers" performed by Teresa Cahill (soprano), with Barry Collett (piano).
# The Inside Track

The Inside Track was a Canadian radio series, which formerly aired on CBC Radio One. A documentary and interview series exploring social and cultural issues in the world of sports, the program was hosted by Mark Lee, Mary Hynes and Robin Brown at different times during its run.
One of the show's most famous episodes was "The Last Closet", an hour-long special which aired on October 16, 1993. Exploring issues of homophobia in sports, the show was most noted for its interviews with two gay Canadian athletes who still felt the need to disguise their voices due to the risks of coming out while active in sports; when they both did later come out, Mark Leduc and Mark Tewksbury were revealed to have been the speakers. Other figures interviewed in the episode included Ed Gallagher, a former football player from the United States who became an anti-homophobia activist after a suicide attempt motivated by his inner conflict over his sexuality left him paraplegic, and Jim Buzinski, a cofounder of the LGBT sports organization Outsports. Outsports would later name the episode one of the 100 most important moments in LGBT sports history.
Other episodes of the series included interviews with sports figures such as Wayne Gretzky, Chris Bosh and Perdita Felicien, often going beyond their sports careers to talk about issues of personal interest.
It was announced on March 26, 2009 that the program would be canceled at the end of the 2008-09 season.

# The Luxury of Time

Professional ratings :

| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
The Luxury of Time is the debut album by singer-songwriter David Mead, released by RCA Records in 1999. "Mead writes slick, sophisticated, and at its best, timeless sounding pop songs that seem to be rooted as much in the tradition of Gershwin and Porter as they are in the music of Lennon and McCartney or Elvis Costello," wrote Brett Hartenbach for AllMusic. "Though sporting a somewhat glossier sound, The Luxury of Time fits nicely alongside the works of such artists as Freedy Johnston and Ron Sexsmith as the touchstone for the '90s new crop of young writers."

# The Mob (American hardcore band)

The Mob is a New York hardcore band formed in 1980. The band began when Jack Flanagan left the group Heart Attack to form his own group with Ralph Gebbia, John Frawley, and Nicko. After being exposed to hardcore through a Bad Brains show at CBGB, the group started playing harder and faster (described by Flanagan as "speedrock"), moving away from the sound of the first wave of New York City punk rock bands. In 1981, Jose Gonzalez officially joined the group, following John Frawley's departure to join Heart Attack, and Jamie Shanahan replaced Nicko on drums. With Gonzalez, the Mob released two iconic hardcore singles, "Upset the System" and "Step Forward".
The Mob was included among the acts chosen to play the CBGB 10 year anniversary festival on December 24, 1983. A few months later in 1984, the Ramones selected The Mob to open consecutive shows on March 17 in Brooklyn, NY (at L'Amour West) and on March 20 in Washington, DC (The Wax Museum).
Gonzalez left the band to join HR for his first solo record It's About Luv, released in 1985 on Olive Tree Records. He was briefly replaced by Kenny Ahrens, lead vocalist of Urban Waste, before Chris Hackett assumed bass duties and the band recorded their first full-length album, We Come to Crush. The band continued, more or less with this lineup, until 1991, when they went on a hiatus with only a handful of sporadic shows and releases. In 2011, the group reunited to play live shows and record new music once again. From 2011 onward, the Mob shows and recordings were recorded as the Mob five-piece with Gonzalez on bass and Hackett on rhythm guitar. In 2012 the band released the single Back to Queens / That's It both written by Hackett/Gebbia. Jack Flanagan died in 2019 ending the 39-year run of the Mob. With the death of Flanagan, Hackett changed direction forming Monk & The 66, which Hackett describes as a DIY psychedelic soul garage band.” Monk & the 66 released their first single in March 2021.
