The Whispering Window, first published in 1936, is the first in the series featuring amateur detective Ethel Thomas. The setting is a large department store plagued by missing products and, more seriously, four murders in a single day’s time. From the dustjacket: Meet Miss Ethel Thomas! – the shrewdest spinster-sleuth that ever walked the pages of a mystery story. You’ve seldom encountered as lively a lady of her years (age 75), and it’s a treat to be taken along with her through the solution of what the newspapers called “The Bargain Day Murders.” Cortland Fitzsimmons (1893-1949) wrote mysteries, often featuring a sports-theme, some of which were made into movies. He also worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood.
Orphan teenage brothers, Carl and Adam, are in Portland, Oregon and when the police accuse Adam of stealing jewelry, it's up to the younger brother Carl to find the real thief in the anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant state of 1922.
This edited collection offers an interdisciplinary study of Twin Peaks: The Return, the third season of a TV program that has attracted the attention (and appreciation) of spectators, fans, and critics for over two decades. The book takes readers into several distinct areas and addresses the different approaches and the range of topics invited by the multidimensionality of the subject itself: the philosophical, the artistic, the socio-cultural, and the personal. The eighteen chapters constituting the volume are academic in their approach to the subject and in their methodology, whether they apply a historical, psychoanalytical, film studies, or gender studies perspective to the text under examination. The variety and range of perspectives in these aforementioned chapters reflect the belief that a study of the full complexity of Twin Peaks: The Return, as well as a timely assessment of the critical importance of the program, requires both an interdisciplinary perspective and the fusion of different intellectual approaches across genres. The chapters demonstrate a collective awareness of the TV series as a fundamental milestone in contemporary culture.

As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."
