Still, nestled within Reichardt's jaundiced portrait of greed, racism and nativism at its most dishonest and chauvinistic, Cookie and King Lu's friendship stands as a reminder that America's most pitiless trajectory didn't necessarily have to be that way.

He won nine races during his three seasons with Renault, and won a record-equalling seven races during his first season back with McLaren, when he missed out on the Formula One world championship by half a point from his teammate Niki Lauda.

The book was very well-reviewed by his peers. Gerald M. Moser of Penn State University said that the book was an authoritative work on the event based on accounts of European travellers and Portuguese historians.Review of The Goa Inquisition, Being a Quatercentenary Commemoration Study of the Inquisition in India by Gerald M Mosser, Journal of the American Oriental Society,84.4 (1964) The book was written one year prior to the liberation of Goa from Portuguese occupation by India, so it "reopened old wounds, recalling the dismal record of European religious intolerance" in India "through the most pitiless inquisition of Christendom". Priolkar did not exaggerate the intolerant zeal of the Christian Missionaries, nor did he try to understand it.

"Jack's Last Muster" is reminiscent of Gordon in his raciest style. It is written in the metre of "How we beat the Favourite;" but beyond portraying Boake's love of the horse, it is scarcely illustrative of the brooding, melancholy bushman as we know him.""Australian Poet: A Study in Theme" by N. E. Gladhill, The West Australian, 28 June 1930, p5 In a survey of the poet's work, an essayist in The Observer (Adelaide) states "Kendall wrote of 'sweet running waters, and soft unfooted dells,' but Boake drew vivid word- pictures of the inland country in its most savage and most pitiless aspects. In dealing with such scenes lie submerged the idealistic in his temperament, and described the life as he found it — took bright patches from Nature and transferred them to paper.

" Leibovich, according to the story, is nicknamed "Leibo," and the book's original sub- title was "The Way it Works in Suck Up City." Fareed Zakaria as reviewer for Washington Post praises it as "hottest political book of the summer", containing " juicy anecdotes" and a tell-tale core of "corruption and dysfunction". Richard McGregor of the Financial Times described Leibovich as “like a modern-day Balzac.” In his book review for the New York Times, novelist Christopher Buckley described This Town as a series of “mini- masterpieces of politico-anthropological sociology." The Economist said This Town “may be the most pitiless examination of America’s permanent political class that has ever been conducted.” This Town was released in paperback in April 2014 in conjunction with the annual White House Correspondents Dinner, which Leibovich has described as “an abomination.” The book attracted controversy when an aide to Representative Darrell Issa was fired for sharing reporters’ e-mails with Leibovich without their knowledge.

257 The Tinsleys explained that after Hudson left the Grimes household in October 1935, he had briefly lodged with them, but that they had evicted him from their home after just three weeks for non-payment of rent. Nonetheless, Wilfred and Lilian Tinsley emphasised that his departure from their household had been upon amicable terms, and also confirmed that in the short space of time Hudson had lodged in their household, he had been popular with their seven children, who had all come to know him as "Uncle Fred". Circular compiled and distributed by Newark police in their efforts to locate Mona Tinsley Police interviewed Edith Grimes, who stated the man her sister knew as Frederick Hudson was actually a 49-year-old named Frederick Nodder, who had adopted the surname Hudson as an alias, since becoming the subject of an affiliation order.Twentieth Century Murder: A Year by Year Account of the World's Most Pitiless Crimes p.

A handsome young man named Calyste du Guénic is in love with the older woman, Félicité des Touches, a famous writer who uses the pen name of Camille Maupin. Félicité at first does not reciprocate Calyste’s feelings, and Calyste falls in love with the blonde marchioness Béatrix de Rochefide.Carol de Dobay Rifelj, Coiffures: hair in nineteenth- century French literature and culture (University of Delaware Press, 2010), 143-4. Béatrix is a beautiful but selfish woman; one critic remarked in 1897 in regards to Béatrix that “for cold-blooded cruelty and vulgarity she is unexampled, and her efforts to keep her youth and her hold over men are drawn in Balzac’s heaviest and most pitiless manner.” Béatrix had already had an affair with Gennaro Conti, and Calyste has an additional rival in the form of Claude Vignon. Félicité des Touches (Camille Maupin) tries to help Calyste win Béatrix’s heart, thus sacrificing her own. Calyste’s efforts are ultimately a failure, and Béatrix is taken away by Gennaro Conti. Calyste is devastated by his failure, but promises his dying father to get married.

Marrus, Michael The Holocaust in History, Toronto: KeyPorter, 2000 pp. 90–91. Other historians, such as the Israeli historian Otto Dov Kulka, the Israeli historian David Bankier, and the American historian Aron Rodrigue, while differing from Kershaw over many details about German public opinion, arguing that the term "passive complicity" is a better description than "indifference", have largely agreed with Kershaw that there was a chasm of opinion about the Jews between the Nazi "true believers" and the wider German public, whose views towards Jews seemed to have expressed more of a dislike than a hatred. Goldhagen, in contrast, declared the term "indifference" to be unacceptable, contending that the vast majority of Germans were active antisemitics who wanted to kill Jews in the most "pitiless" and "callous" manner possible.Goldhagen, Daniel Hitler's Willing Executioners, New York: Alfred Knopf, 1996 pp. 439–440. As such, to prove his thesis Goldhagen focused on the behavior of ordinary Germans who killed Jews, especially the behavior of the men of Order Police Reserve Battalion 101 in Poland in 1942 to argue ordinary Germans possessed by "eliminationist antisemitism" chose to willingly murder Jews.
