The Literary Lady by Ernest J. Abeytia a Creative Project
Case 99: The Literary Lady by Ernest J. Abeytia A creative project submitted to Sonoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in English Committee Members: Prof. Stefan Kiesbye Dr. Scott Miller 04 May 2018 i Copyright 2018 By Ernest J. Abeytia ii Authorization for Reproduction of Master's Project Permission to reproduce this project in part or in entirety must be obtained from me. 04 May 2018 Ernest J. Abeytia iii Case 99: The Literary Lady By Ernest J. Abeytia ABSTRACT This is a crime fiction novel. It is a confluence of the styles, settings, plot lines, and character development of such luminaries of detective storytelling as Raymond Chandler, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Elmore Leonard, but it is not a hard copy or “cover” of anything they wrote. Bob Derby is a homicide detective in the Gardena, California police department. Gardena is one of 88 cities or towns in the County of Los Angeles. He has made an arrest in, or “cleared,” 98 of 101 homicide cases as the story begins, but he has never actually solved any of them. Somebody else always beats him to it and he then applies the police procedure that closes the case. The murder of Emma Williams is to be no different. iv Table of Contents Critical Introduction ........................................................................................................ vi Bibliography ................................................................................................................... xix Case 99: The Literary Lady ................................................................................................1 v Case 99: The Literary Lady By Ernest J. Abeytia A Critical Introduction The most famous detective in history is a fictional character. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent Sherlock Holmes off a cliff overlooking the Reichenbach Falls in “The Final Problem” (1893), more than 20,000 readers cancelled their subscriptions to The Strand magazine, nearly putting the publication under. -

4 Annual Report on Black/Jewish Relations in the United States in 1999
4th Annual Report on Black/Jewish Relations in the United States in 1999 · Cooperation · Conflict · Human Interest · Shared Experiences Foreword by Hugh Price, President, The National Urban League Introduction by Rabbi Marc Schneier, President, The Foundation For Ethnic Understanding 1 The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding 1 East 93rd Street, Suite 1C, New York, New York 10128 Tel. (917) 492-2538 Fax (917) 492-2560 www.ffeu.org Rabbi Marc Schneier, President Joseph Papp, Founding Chairman Darwin N. Davis, Vice President Stephanie Shnay, Secretary Edward Yardeni, Treasurer Robert J. Cyruli, Counsel Lawrence D. Kopp, Executive Director Meredith A. Flug, Deputy Executive Director Dr. Philip Freedman, Director Of Research Tamika N. Edwards, Researcher The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding began in 1989 as a dream of Rabbi Marc Schneier and the late Joseph Papp committed to the belief that direct, face- to-face dialogue between ethnic communities is the most effective path towards the reduction of bigotry and the promotion of reconciliation and understanding. Research and publication of the 4th Annual Report on Black/Jewish Relations in the United States was made possible by a generous grant from Philip Morris Companies. 2 FOREWORD BY HUGH PRICE PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE I am honored to have once again been invited to provide a foreword for The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding's 4th Annual "Report on Black/Jewish Relations in the United States. Much has happened during 1999 and this year's comprehensive study certainly attests to that fact. I was extremely pleased to learn that a new category “Shared Experiences” has been added to the Report. -

Transnational Religion and the Struggle for Jewish Pluralism
/three Transnational Religion and the Struggle for Jewish Pluralism On march 31, 2005, after six years of debates, Israel’s supreme court—sitting as the High Court of Justice—ruled that non- Orthodox conversions in which the study process was conducted in Israel but was ‹nalized in the United States by Reform or Conservative Rabbis will be recognized. This ruling broke the monopoly of the Orthodoxy over recognized conversions inside Israel. The court accepted the peti- tion ‹led by the Religious Action Center, the extension arm of the U.S.- based Reform movement, and allowed for the ‹rst time in the state’s his- tory non-Orthodox converts to be fully recognized by Israel as Jews deserving Israeli citizenship based on Israel’s law of return. The ruling, which drew harsh criticism from Orthodox leaders, was the latest mani- festation of a culture war over Jewish identity inside and outside Israel. Part of the debate is over the dilemma of who is a Jew, and the question of who has the ultimate religious authority among Jews to determine membership. The clash at the heart of the debate over Jewish identity inside Israel within the diaspora and between Israel and diaspora Jewry also involves dilemmas of Jewish politics and geography—including who speaks on behalf of the Jews and where the boundaries of the state of Israel or the Jewish homeland end. These dilemmas have far-reaching implications for the dissemination of religious values across frontiers and the role of kinship in international affairs. For example, just a few days before the Supreme Court’s decision on conversion, a group of forty people, mostly Orthodox Jews from New York and New Jersey, arrived in Tel Aviv to demonstrate solidarity with settlers in Gush Katif, the main Israeli settle- ment bloc in the Gaza Strip. -
