USS Constitution Nicknamed “Old Ironsides” by JO1 Lorraine Ramsdell, Naval Reserve Office of Information Det. 206, Washington, D.C. The USS Constitution was one of six frigates authorized for construction by an act of Congress in 1794. Joshua Humphreys designed them to be the Navy’s capital ships. Larger and more heavily armed than the standard run of frigate, Constitution and her sisters were formidable opponents even for some ships of the line. Built in Boston of resilient live oak, Constitution’s planks were up to seven inches thick. Paul Revere forged the copper spikes and bolts that held the planks in place and the copper sheathing that protected the hull. Thus armed, she first put to sea in July 1798 and saw her first service patrolling the southeast coast of the United States during the Quasi-War with France. In 1803 she was desig- nated flagship for the Medi- terranean squadron under Captain Edward Preble and went to serve against the Barbary States of North Africa, which were demand- ing tribute from the United Father Claude blesses the image of Madonna della Cava States in exchange for allow- before the procession through the streets of the North ing American merchant ves- End led by long time member Jimmy Cammarata.

Read A Crack in Everything, a debut mystery novel by Angela Gerst, and find out. Praised by critics and authors across the literary spectrum, A Crack in Everything tells a sizzling tale of politics, passion, greed and murder. The novel introduces Susan Callisto, a sometime real estate lawyer turned political consultant with a busy practice and a lonely private life. Susan and her oldest client, Nino Biondi, share Italian roots, but little else. Nino likes to sue. Susan prefers to negotiate. Nino loves to cook — he’s the chef-owner of Tavola Rustica. Susan prefers tuna casserole to osso buco. Nino ignores Susan’s advice, but her candidates hang on her every word, paying her well — too well in the case of a magnetic newcomer with deep pockets and a dubious agenda. Then Nino is beaten and left for dead in an alley, perhaps by the Santino and Bianca Garafalo. The next generation. landlord he is battling for control of Tavola Rustica. When one of Susan’s political clients is murdered and then Susan herself attacked, she begins to suspect that her political consultancy has become a springboard to violence and murder.
