In the United States alone, millions of children have suffered permanent brain damage—and in some cases have died—from lead poisoning; and the CDC estimates that even today, children are being exposed to high levels of lead in 4 million U.S. households. To combat this public health issue, 10 California cities and counties joined forces in 2000 to hold the country’s largest paint manufacturers accountable for promoting the use of lead-based paint in homes. Together, they assembled a team of some of the state’s most sought-after plaintiffs’ attorneys. “When the County of San Francisco approached me about joining the lawsuit, I was immediately interested,” recalls Mary Alexander, who served as one of the lead trial lawyers in the case. “Prior to entering the legal profession, I spent a decade working in environmental and occupational health, first as a researcher in medical toxicology, and later as the director of environmental health at the Stanford Research Institute; so I understood the importance of this lawsuit from a public health perspective, and I knew that my scientific background would be an asset in such a complex matter.” Over the course of the case, which spanned 14 years, Alexander was highly involved in both the litigation and appeals process as part of the Plaintiffs’ team; she conducted 40 depositions and, at trial, interviewed key expert medical witnesses on lead health has been honored—both locally and nationally—by the San effects. She also cross-examined the defendants’ experts and Francisco Trial Lawyers Association and the Public Justice obtained admissions.

The final judgment came after two appeals, to make this work so rewarding.” one of which was a ruling by the California Supreme Court.

    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

Irish responses to Fascist Italy, 1919–1932 by Mark Phelan A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh Department of History School of Humanities National University of Ireland, Galway December 2012 ABSTRACT This project assesses the impact of the first fascist power, its ethos and propaganda, on key constituencies of opinion in the Irish Free State. Accordingly, it explores the attitudes, views and concerns expressed by members of religious organisations; prominent journalists and academics; government officials/supporters and other members of the political class in Ireland, including republican and labour activists. By contextualising the Irish response to Fascist Italy within the wider patterns of cultural, political and ecclesiastical life in the Free State, the project provides original insights into the configuration of ideology and social forces in post-independence Ireland. Structurally, the thesis begins with a two-chapter account of conflicting confessional responses to Italian Fascism, followed by an analysis of diplomatic intercourse between Ireland and Italy. Next, the thesis examines some controversial policies pursued by Cumann na nGaedheal, and assesses their links to similar Fascist initiatives. The penultimate chapter focuses upon the remarkably ambiguous attitude to Mussolini’s Italy demonstrated by early Fianna Fáil, whilst the final section recounts the intensely hostile response of the Irish labour movement, both to the Italian regime, and indeed to Mussolini’s Irish apologists.

It was a congress unprecedented in the history of the Labour Movement in Ireland. Or, in the mind of one Labour leader, in the history of the Labour movement in any country in Europe. The euphoria was forgivable. The Special Conference of the Irish Labour Party and Trade Union Congress (to give it its full name) was truly impressive, both in terms of its size and the vehemence with which it opposed the conscription a British government was about to impose on Ireland. But it was nothing compared to what happened four days later. Responding to the resolution passed by the Conference, Irish workers brought the economic life of the country to a standstill. It was the first General Strike in Ireland. Its success was total, except for Belfast. Nothing moved. Factories and shops were closed. No newspapers were printed. Even the pubs were shut.

    Silver Squelchers Twenty & Their Interesting Associates Investment Bankers in The Pilgrims Society #2 Take 32 seconds to hear what should be The Pilgrims theme music! “He spoke openly against the Society” (Line from “The Rifleman,” March 3, 1963) Presented July 2015 by Charles Savoie 1) John Charles Straton Jr. (1932---: Pilgrims Society as of undetermined) has info in the 2014 Who’s Who in the East, pages 1367-1368--- The December 21, 1907 New York Times, front page headline read, “Ruined Speculator Kills J.H. Oliphant Then Shoots Himself in the Brokerage Office of his Victim Who Dies at 2:00 AM Today, Fortune of $75,000 Gone” we read--- “James H. Oliphant, senior member of the Stock Exchange firm of James H. Oliphant Co., and one of the best-known brokers in this city, was shot, and mortally wounded in his office at 20 Broad Street yesterday afternoon by Dr. Charles A. Geiger of Beaufort, S.C., a ruined speculator, who for two years or more had been a customer of the Oliphant firm. Dr. Geiger then turned the revolver on himself and sent the bullet into his brain, dying instantly.” My “Pilgrims meter” tells me that Oliphant was a member, though he wasn’t a charter member as of January 1903--- The 2005 Who’s Who in America, page 3502, shows David Olyphant (note spelling variation) as a member of The Pilgrims. He was a Citibank executive, an officer of the English Speaking Union (direct Pilgrims subsidiary) and involved with the American Trust for the British Library. John Charles Straton Jr.
