It was the last day of Jessica Mann''s testimony about Harvey Weinstein, and I was live tweeting the back-and-forth from the back row on Justice Curtis Farber''s courtroom in 100 Centre Street. Teny Geragos was cross-examining Mann her emails to and about Harvey, as she called him. Some were from only days after what the defense called their encounter in the Doubletree Hotel in Manhattan. Alvin Bragg''s prosecutors called it rape. But two days later she was writing that she loved Harvey, he''d tried to violate her boundaries but she''d push him off. Which was it? The emails told the story, but they were merely flashed on the video monitor and then gone. The exhibits weren''t being made available, unlike in Federal court down the street. Only weeks prior I had filed into the Live Nation antitrust trial docket and gotten exhibits, damning Slack messages, unsealed. Why not here? I Googled around for the New York law of court exhibits - I''d done this in the Luigi Mangione state case suppression hearing four months before, but this law was somewhat different - and put together a letter. But how to get it to Justice Farber? I looked for his chambers'' email address. No available. Instead, the court''s website listed his fax numbers. OK then, I thought. I''d go to FedEx on Worth Street and Broadway over the lunch break and fax Farber a filing. The one working computer in FedEx was hogged up by a man still wearing a COVID mask, even now in 2026. I found a way to print it from a USB drive, and fax it from the printer-copier. It appeared to go through, even printed me a receipt. I headed back east on Worth Street, stopping in the Civic Deli for the small, somewhat dried up dumpling they sell there. A woman stopped me on my way out and asked, Aren''t you Inner City Press? Indeed I was. She worked for the court system, showed me my last Harvey Weinstein tweet on her phone. Let me know if you see anything I should cover, I told her, as I often do. I went out on the sidewalk heading toward Center Street when- I ran into Justice Farber. He was talking on his cell phone but recognized my face and nodded hello. "I just sent you a fax," I told him, almost lip synching the words since he was on the phone. He stopped. "But I don''t have a fax machine," he said. It seemed to go through, I told him. Then I reached in backpack. "I''ll call you back," he said to whomever he had been speaking with. "Here''s a copy of the letter I faxed you," I told him. "It''s about getting the exhibits." Justice Farber nodded. "Ill read and consider it," he said. What more could I ask for. Plenty, as it turned out. This is the story of Harvey Weinstein''s last stand.

The night before Live Nation''s Michael Rapino was to testify in the antitrust trial against him, a flurry of filing went into the docket seeking to seal exhibits he would be asked about. Earlier in the case I had filed to unseal, and largely won. But now things were moving faster. DOJ had dropped out of the case in with a murky settlement deal that let Live Nation keep Ticketmaster. And the proceeding states, as they called themselves, seemed to be acquiescing in the sealing requests. I filed seeking to unseal anyway. This was the big one. And the next morning Rapino, who I''d manage to question briefly on his way out of the courthouse the day he''d been let off the hook about the settlement, would be coming back in. The public interest was on the line. And I''d even get in-kind court art this time, for the cover. This is TicketMonster Part 2 (of at least 3 Parts)

During the weeks of the US v. Sean "Diddy" Combs trial, many said that the trial of the Alexander brothers was coming and that it would be worse. "The brothers are worse," Inner City Press was told. And in this book covering their arrest, detention and the beginning of trial, it seems true. Inner City Press published eight booklets for the eight weeks of the Diddy trial, on Google Play after Amazon, Kindle and Audible - all one company - banned the second in the series, Diddy in Detention. Ultimately all of Inner City Press'' books would be taken down, with Maximum Maxwell about US v. Ghislaine Maxwell being cited. After weeks of advocacy, the books were restored (though not the paperback of Maximum Maxwell). For that reason, this first book in the series on the Alexander Brothers - Alon, Oren and Tal - is being published on Google Play. Will it nevertheless run into censorship? We''ll see.

For Luigi Mangione''s arraignment the press line in the 100 Centre Street courthouse began at 8 am on December 23, 2024. But members of the public began outside at 4:30 am. Inner City Press was there, as it had been for the Federal presentment on December 19. Today, with more time to organize - there had been a "Free Luigi" poster complete with QR code - there were more people. I think he should get a fair trial, a woman from New Jersey said from behind her mask. I''m here because of the cost of health insurance, said another. Over the weekend, a woman had been burned to death after being set on in fire on a subway train in Coney Island. A migrant from Guatemala had been arrested. Inner City Press might catch his arraignment over in Brooklyn. Or would that case, too, be Federalized? Surely that defendant would have no supporters. Inner City Press had reported on defendants being sentenced to 20 years or more in prison, for lesser crimes than murder, with no one else in the courtroom gallery. This assassination on video had struck a nerve, more so after the Crime Stoppers photos were released. It was a tale of comparative crimes, of dual prosecutions. This is the first book of a series. Lone Wolf. Not so fast… Remain seated! The Court Security Officer in the white shift, the same one as from the Daniel Penny trial, shouts at the journalists and the Luigi Mangione supporters. The prosecutors follow Mangione out of the courtroom. Kurt Wheelock is trying to get his laptop to fall asleep. The orange light remains lit, though. "OK, clear out, this courtroom is being closed!" Kurt waits for the elevator with the other journalists. The female supporters, it seems, will ride on other cars. In the 100 Centre Street lobby, a prisoner is being led in by a policeman, his hands cuffed in front of him. Stepping through the revolving doors, Kurt can see a crowd across the street. There is chanting about health care; there is a guy standing on a ladder with a Palestinian flag above him. Kurt wants to film it. He takes out his phone, moves his NYC Press Pass to the outside of his jacket. The cops in front of the courthouse barely look at him. He crosses the street, into the press pen in front of the demonstrators. "Free Luigi!" they chant. And that sign again, "Luigi Freed Us." From what? Brian Thompson? Kurt does a livestream, and shoots a six second video to put up later. His hands are freezing. It''s time to return to SDNY. He''s going to upload this book, this first book, and publish it before nightfall. Kurt designs the cover, does one final spell check. Just after noon he uploads it. It will take some hours, two to four he estimates based on the past. He does not want to stay staring at the laptop screen. He heads out, up to his barber by the United Nations, the one he started going to before the UN threw him out. It seems obligatory to make small talk with barbers, at least this one. He asks about Luigi Mangione. "Oh the CEO killer," the barber says. "What an asshole." The barber is also against congestion pricing. Is there a correlation? With a new short haircut Kurt takes the subway back downtown. The book is "Under review," longer than that usually takes. Kurt is getting jump. He goes to his City gym in the housing projects, checks his phone on the way back to the courthouse. Nothing. Under review. It is nearly eight pm when something happens. Kurt gets an email alert: one of your books cannot be published. He signs up to check his bookshelves. There it is: Blocked. Why this book? Kurt emails back; he opens up a chat box. A person, or bot, calling themselves Willow tells him his email is being reviewed. But nothing. Later he asks for a call back, and a woman with a Missouri area code says the review is ongoing, a ticket has been opened. By midnight they tell him: Your publishing account has been suspended. He cannot reach any of his books. More back and forth, this time with a sense of desperation. A content "investigator" from India tells him his content has been deemed "offensive." He will have to swear an affirmation he will never do it again. But what is it? What is so offensive? Kurt must look for alternatives. The biggest, the Search behemoth, has books too. At least e-books. New era? Diddy Detained was up - now Luigi Mangione Lone Wolf? If you have it, the answer is yes - and there will be more.

"Just imagine when Bieber comes to testify at Diddy''s trial," a court watcher was saying in late November 2024. But things weren''t at that stage yet. The fight now was about bail, Sean Combs'' third attempt to be released on bond. Would this third time be the charm? Meanwhile, volley of John and Jane Doe civil lawsuits against Combs were being filed in SDNY, by the Buzbee firm in Houston. Some judges demanded that the plaintiff''s real name be disclosed, even dismissed the case for not following the rules. But cases were refiled, with other judges, and proceeded. There were demand letters going out too, not yet in any docket. It was all headed to a showdown, in May if not before. This is a book in what will be an ongoing series. They charged only one crime Enough to hold Diddy for a time Staking much on Victim-1 But his four lawyers chipped away A dozen more, at the courthouse door Tales of violence, New York to Vegas Some judges demanding names Observing it Kurt Wheelock wrote Streamed in rain in Worth Street pen How would it end?

During the trial of Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former president of Honduras, he testified about meeting with US Presidents Trump, Obama and Biden, making claims about the War on Drugs. But he''d been extradited from Honduras on narco trafficking charges. This is the blow by blow story of the trial, with analysis and even verse, Narco Presidentes Blues... Juan Orlando Hernandez and his lead lawyer Raymond Colon were having a disagreement, before Colon would cross examine confessed narco trafficker and murder Devis Rivera Maradiaga. "You''re giving it too much importance," Colon told JOH. The former Honduran president disagreed and raised his voice. Kurt Wheelock heard it, but did not report it at the time - until now. And afterward, out on Worth Street in front of the SDNY Courthouse, the questions were about what the Americans Presidents - Trump, Obama and Biden - had known and when they knew it. Two of those three were running against each other again. To anti-corruption, in the UN, Honduras - and US - the work turned.

This is a book unlike any other; although it is a book of Hope. I address it to all believers who are suffering and/or hurting in their hearts and feel confused and even lost at times. The reason this writing is one of hope is because it contains the words of the Lord''s true virtue and character for all to plainly see. I will show you how God thinks and how that He created us in His Image and Likeness so that we could learn to think like Him if we so desired. I did desire to learn how to think like the Lord, and the Lord faithfully helped me work through my thoughts as He revealed His virtues and character-attributes to me in His word.I suffered for over 50 years in what I now know to be the thoughts of my broken heart, and only when God revealed His ways of thinking virtuously in His word to me did I finally begin to have hope that I could truly change the way I think. The Lord took me on a forty-two month journey through His virtues and character-attributes while I was suffering with a debilitating brain disease, and showed me how to learn to think with His virtues and make them my focus continually. I have since developed numerous positive ways of thinking using the Lord''s perfect virtues, and because the results have been nothing short of astounding to me and my family, I had to share with you at least some basic information surrounding this enormous subject.There truly is hope in the word of God; I found mine in the thoughts of the Father and His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If this is your desire as well, then you are in for a wonderful journey with the Lord Jesus.

Iraq: Through the Eyes of an American Soldiercontains over 200 beautiful and thought provoking images as photographed by U.S. Staff Sergeant Russell Lee Klika during multiple deployments to Iraq with the U.S. National Guard, between 2002 and 2010. Risking his own life to capture glimpses of the war, the people, and the country --- and sometimes shooting his camera from the back of a speeding Humvee or while machine guns fired around him --- Klika''s work records history as it unfolds. With each image, Klika seeks to "highlight the humanity" in the moments and the faces of the people: US military personnel, Iraqi soldiers, and Iraqi civilians. With only minimal text, each page in this photo-collection lets the images speak for themselves.

In the late 1920s, Reimar Horten started experimenting with flying models equipped with fuselages, stabilizers, rudders, and elevators, but his life''s work involved systematically removing these components from the models until he could achieve flight with only the wing. Not only were the pure wings more difficult to design with the stability and control needed to fly, they were harder to place in practical roles not already filled by conventional aircraft operating for less support and operational costs. Always seeking to increase performance and efficiency, Horten adopted a multi-disciplinary approach after flying his first piloted wing in 1933, eventually breaking new ground in cockpit design and construction materials. His most important innovation was the unique pattern he developed to distribute the lift over his wings, the result of his efforts to refine the aerodynamic control of all-wing aircraft, often while working alone and in difficult circumstances. Two days after he passed away in 1993, the Royal Aeronautical Society awarded Reimar Horten the British Gold Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Aeronautics.

The approximately 77,000 photographs in The Library of Congress’ collection from the (FSA), later the Office of War Information (OWI), provide a unique view of American life during the Great Depression and Second World War. This government photography project, headed by Roy E. Stryker, was initially conceived to document government loans to farmers and their resettlement in suburban communities, but the scope of the project expanded to create a visual record of agricultural workers across the United States. These evocative pictures transport the viewer to American homes, farms, and streets of the 1930s and 1940s, while offering a glimpse of a new narrative and intimate style that defined America. This volume features an introduction to the work of Russell Lee and presents 50 images selected from his work.

Russell Lee is widely acclaimed as one of the most outstanding documentary photographers of the twentieth century. His images of American life during the Great Depression, created for the Farm Security Administration between 1936 and 1942, hold a preeminent place in one of history''s best-known and most useful photographic collections. This famous body of work demonstrates Lee''s extraordinary ability to reveal the humanity of his subjects and to become a part of the communities he photographed. It also displays Lee''s superior technical ability—his legendary skill in using a flash enabled Lee to create some of the finest candids in the history of photography. Russell Lee Photographs is the first book to show the full range and quality of Lee''s entire oeuvre beyond the FSA work, as well as the first major publication of his photographs since F. Jack Hurley''s 1978 book, Russell Lee: Photographer (long out of print). The book contains over 140 images, 101 of which have never appeared in book publication. The photographs are grouped into suites of images that represent all of Lee''s important, non-FSA subjects: early work from New York City and Woodstock; the Spanish-speaking people of Texas; the mentally and physically disabled; political campaigns, including the Kennedy-Johnson campaign of 1960; commercial work for chemical and other companies; a portfolio of images of Italy; and quintessential scenes of small-town life. Setting Lee''s images in context are a foreword by John Szarkowski, one of America''s leading photography curators and critics, and an introduction by Lee''s friend and fellow photography educator J. B. Colson, who offers fascinating personal insights into Lee''s life and career. Considering Russell Lee''s stature in American photography, it is surprising that much of his post-FSA work is unknown to the public and has been seldom seen even in the photography community. By making these images readily available for the first time, this book gives long-overdue recognition to the full range and excellence of Lee''s work. Russell Lee Photographs is the essential book on this major American photographer.

And did army service, as a powerful form of industrial organization, help create Dubuque''s modern workforce?" "Warriors into Workers argues that the Union Army was both a social and a socializing institution, making significant but previously unexamined contributions to the formation of American industrial society. This book connects with the recent surge of interest in the social history of the Civil War, and addresses significant issues in labor and economic history, military history, community studies, political culture, and gender."--Jacket.

This thesis critically analyzes two common methods of interpretation that occur on the historic landscape and offers an alternative method. The first method is the Formalist convention which identifies and interprets the historic landscape based on dates, designer, function, origin or other fact which locates the site within a stylistic sequence of similar landscapes. The second method is the ubiquitous use of text panels and guide books as the main interpretative medium. The alternative focuses on the experience of the landscape design as the main interpretative method. This alternative method is then applied to the landscape of Homestead National Monument of America, located in southeast Nebraska, through a conceptual interpretative design.
