Senate Intelligence Committee Issues Report on Russian Election Interference
Presented in convenient book-size rather than letter-size, two bound and affordable paperback volumes reproduce the Senate report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and ties to high-level Trump campaign officials. It’s a bipartisan report and cannot be dismissed as the mere product of oppositional politics. The chair of the committee, Marco Rubio, is otherwise a firm supporter of the president, but the undisputed facts laid out in this report tell a hair-raising history. You don’t have to read between the lines — or under the redactive black bars — to see a conclusion of campaign collusion if not criminal conspiracy. This is the report issued Aug. 18, 2020 by…

Tony Freyer’s Double Agents Takes a Spy Family to Remote Australia and Mexico
Espionage comes to the U.S.-Mexico border and Northern Australia, and a family of intense and fiercely loyal Americans get caught up in the intrigue. By 2008, a global cocaine cartel is expanding aggressively. In remote Arnhem Land of northern Australia, ocean vessels, trucks, and vans move the cocaine to urban markets—and the cartel uses hidden tunnels to deliver it across the California-Mexico border. The cartel’s planes, sea vessels, trucks, and drones counter U.S., Mexican, and Australian law enforcement’s own technologies. But the Iraq War has disrupted transnational law-enforcement’s cooperation. In 2009, the new Obama Administration seeks renewed transnational law-enforcement cooperation against the cocaine cartel. Rep. Sarah Donaldson’s congressional intelligence committee…

Meltsner’s journey as civil rights activist and survivor is recounted in With Passion
Growing up in a Depression-battered family, one tangled by a mortal secret, With Passion tells the improbable story of an unsung hero of the civil rights movement who thought of himself as a miscast lawyer but ended up defending peaceful protesters, representing Mohammad Ali, suing Robert Moses, counseling Lenny Bruce, bringing the case that integrated hundreds of Southern hospitals and named the principal architect of the death penalty abolition movement in the United States. More than a meditation on often-frustrating legal efforts to fight inequality and racism, Meltsner—also a novelist and playwright—vividly recounts the life of a New York City kid, struggling to make sense of coming of age amidst the…

The Louisiana Civil Law Notary in Law and Practice: Decoding the Louisiana Exam
The Louisiana Notary Exam averages less than a 20% pass rate. The Notary Exam has an official Study Guide you use during the exam. But the Study Guide has no index, no big picture, no study strategies, no exam-day tips, not enough cross-references . . . and few of the forms notaries use that they test your understanding of. It’s got the law and notary rules, but it’s missing essentials for any such textbook. This book has all that—and much more that anyone contemplating the Notary Exam should read. It even includes crucial information about notary practice that every newbie notary ought to know. Basically it’s the rest of the…
