Kennedy’s assassination will come and go, but for those who want a more permanent reminder, there is Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis’s lauded, new, conspiracy-free book, 'Dallas 1963.' —The New York Times A chilling portrait... The accounts of events in 1963 unfold in the book like a thriller novel. — Associated Press Luxuriant...potent — The New Yorker For the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination there are dozens of books coming. But the only one, for my money, that really distinguishes itself is this terrifying account of the potent blend of right-wing hysteria, subversive reactionaries, and violence that bubbled over in Dallas in the years before Oswald pulled the trigger. The scariest part: the paranoid right was as freaked out then as they are now. —The Daily Beast Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis's DALLAS 1963 is a brilliantly written, haunting eulogy to John F. Kennedy. By exposing the right-wing hatred aimed at our 35th president, the authors demonstrates that America—not just Lee Harvey Oswald—was ultimately responsible for his death. Every page is an eye opener. Highly recommended! —Douglas Brinkley, professor of history at Rice University and author of CRONKITE [Minutaglio and Davis] so effectively set the scene in the years, months and weeks leading up to Nov. 22 that the assassination reads not as a historical abomination but as the logical result of the violence, paranoia and hate that preceded it. —Austin American-Statesman Mesmerizing...[General Edwin Walker] comes off as a real-life version of Jack D. Ripper from Dr. Strangelove, and that movie’s sense of dark comedy and menace permeates the real world of Dallas in this era. —Maclean's Dallas 1963 stands out as a well-reported and unique contribution to a diverse and unwieldy canon of books about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy...Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis evoke the murky, paranoid racial and political climate in Dallas that preceded the assassination. —Kirkus "Published to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of JFK’s assassination, this fine book proves that there is always something new to be said about that much- discussed subject." —Booklist "Every great book season needs that one deeply researched non-fiction heavyweight, and this fall, it's DALLAS 1963, a collaboration between writers Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis that should be enthralling catnip for history junkies." —Complex Pop Culture "Minutaglio and Davis effectively tell that valuable story, chronically weaving together episodes and characters from 1960 to 1963...Dallas 1963 clearly explains why the city's leaders deserved the shame that followed." —San Antonio Express-News "In this harrowing, masterfully-paced depiction of a disaster waiting to happen, Minutaglio and Davis examine a prominent American city in its now-infamous moment of temporary insanity. Because those days of partisan derangement look all too familiar today, DALLAS 1963 isn’t just a gripping narrative—it’s also a somber cautionary tale.” —New York Times Magazine contributor and author Robert Draper “The authors skillfully marry a narrative of the lead-up to the fateful day with portrayals of the Dixiecrats, homophobes, John Birchers, hate-radio spielers, and the ‘superpatriots’ who were symptomatic of the paranoid tendency in American politics.” — Times of London editor and author Sir Harold Evans "Why was JFK assassinated in Dallas, of all places? Minutaglio and Davis answer that question...and even though we know what happened, getting to that last point is squirmy: my heart pounded, I wanted to yell 'WATCH OUT!' When you can immerse yourself in a book like that, it's always a good sign±—which is why I recommend this one." —Las Vegas Review-Journal " Vivid." —Detroit News "Fascinating." —Kansas City Star "A remarkable new book...The best examinations of history remind us that forces driving the events of, say 50 years ago, are...likely to re-form and gather strength anew." —Steve Robinson, "Do Events of 50 Years Ago Remind Us of Today's Front Page?" **DOCUMENTARY FILM (2013): “CACTUS JACK: THE LEGACY OF JOHN NANCE GARNER.” Aired on the largest PBS stations in the nation. Seen by millions of viewers in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc. Screenwriter, script development, researcher, consultant for first major documentary on Vice President/Speaker of House Garner; collaboration with The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. **BOOK, (2010): “In Search Of The Blues: A Journey To The Soul Of Black Texas,” University of Texas Press. A book that examines race in America, and the role that journalists play in covering race. Honors: Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, “Book It” Book Club Selection, 2011 Review: "It was like hearing, feeling music—It was like summoning smoke, something over there that you had to at least pursue, even if you had no damned clue—and would never have a clear understanding..." writes Minutaglio on why he loved to read Langston Hughes as a young Italian American in New York City, circa 1968. IN SEARCH OF THE BLUES is, in part, Minutaglio's homage to Hughes: through a sweeping collection of interviews and elegant insight into the generative power of place, the reporter gives voice to African Americans in some of the most neglected corners of America. From communities like Sand Branch in Southeastern Dallas, where "the simple act of raising a cup of water, maybe badly contaminated water, to your lips is never far from your mind," to rumbling blues clubs, Minutaglio's search for the soul of black Texas is relentless. OXFORD AMERICAN, SEPT. 2010 Review: "Bill Minutaglio writes about Texas with an intimacy honed over years of exploring neighborhoods and personalities during his residencies in Houston, Dallas, Abilene and San Antonio.

    Texas Book Festival Announces 2019 Library Grant Recipients Organization Awards $100,500 to 41 Public Libraries Across Texas, surpassing $3.1 M›illion donated to Texas Libraries. AUSTIN, TX (EMBARGOED until April 18, 2019) - The Texas Book Festival announced the winners of its 2019 Texas Library Grants at the Texas Library Association conference in Austin today. Forty-one public libraries across 36 Texas counties received grants totaling $100,500. TBF’s Texas Library Grants support collection enhancements which allow public libraries to meet the unique and varied needs of their communities by updating, improving, and expanding the variety of the books offered to their patrons. Enriching Community Libraries With Grant Funds The 2019 grants target a mix of needs in communities across the state. Several libraries will use their 2019 Texas Book Festival grant will expand their collection of Spanish and bilingual books—such as the Brookshire Pattinson Library in Waller County, which requested Spanish-language books for all ages to meet a demand for new books in Spanish as parents are inspired by their kids’ love of reading. Denison Library's grant is focused on diversifying their collections by adding more books by multicultural authors. “Our patrons have little access to books by Native American authors, and with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma less than 20 miles away, we realize our book collection was completely inadequate in this area,” says Kimberly Murray, Library Director at Denison Library. “Our collection should reflect and serve the needs and interests of everyone that comes through the doors.” Murray also plans to add more books by and featuring Latinx, African American, and Muslim people in the library’s continued efforts to combat prejudice.

    THE DEATH OF THE RULE AGAINST PERPETUITIES, OR THE RAP HAS NO FRIENDS—AN ESSAY Joel C. Dobris* Editors’ Synopsis: This Article analyzes the Rule Against Perpetuities, which limits “dead hand” control of property to a reasonable period of time and chronicles its decline in recent years as public interest in creating perpetuities has increased.

We See Virtue in Perpetual Existence D. We are Well-Disposed Towards Trusts E. Fighting About Perpetual Trusts May Be a Tempest in a Teapot * Professor of Law, University of California, Davis, School of Law.
