The Last Cowboy: A Life of Tom Landry by Mark Ribowsky Pdf
“An eloquent, honest tribute to a sports genius.” —Publishers Weekly, Best 100 Books of 2013 As the coach during professional football’s most storied era, Tom Landry transformed the gridiron from a no-holds-barred battlefield to the highly-technical chess match it is today. With his trademark fedora and stoic facade, he was a man of faith and few words, for twenty-nine years guiding “America’s Team” from laughingstock to well-oiled machine, with an unprecedented twenty consecutive winning seasons and two Super Bowl titles. Now, more than a decade after Landry’s death, acclaimed biographer Mark Ribowsky takes a fresh look at this misunderstood legend, telling us as much about our country’s obsession with football as about Landry himself, the likes of whom we’ll never see again.
Daniel Mathews was strong, industrious and honest. He was a nice guy. He was also a drug dealer. He cultivated marijuana for a living. During the course of one fateful year in the mid 1980s, Daniel would have the metal of his character tested to its limits. His illegal lifestyle was rife with treacherous pitfalls. Was it possible for him to retain his integrity and continue his dangerous business? The tranquil and beautiful valleys of British Columbia are the setting for this story of intrigue and betrayal where Daniel Matthews resides. He farms and ranches there, his main crop consisting of the illegal plant marijuana. He has several partners, other local residents. This novel takes place over the course of one year in four parts, from summer to spring wherein Daniel questions his dangerous lifestyle - the growing and selling of marijuana. His son is sixteen, and at the age when he is exposed to marijuana and other drugs- a fact which greatly concerns Daniel. Daniel and his friends Tommy and Brian cultivate large plots of the crop and spend most of their time tending to them, and worrying about them. Numerous other neighbours in the rural area also grow the illegal herb. An unexpected visitor, Cheyenne, arrives at Daniel's farm. He is an old friend whom they suspect has become a narcotics agent. This complicates an already dangerous situation. Through the harrowing and dangerous summer and autumn months of growing and harvesting Daniel grows increasingly unhappy with his lifestyle. He begins to question what he does, who his friends are, and what he really wants in his life. The climax sees Daniel discovering evidence of betrayal and perhaps even murder. His life-altering decision can no longer be postponed.
Cinderella is a folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression/triumphant reward. Thousands of variants are known throughout the world. The title character is a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances, that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune. The oldest documented version comes from China, and the oldest European version from Italy. The most popular version was first published by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé in 1697, and later by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms' Fairy Tales. Although the story's title and main character's name change in different languages, in English-language folklore "Cinderella" is the archetypal name. The word "Cinderella" has, by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes were unrecognized, or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect. The still-popular story of "Cinderella" continues to influence popular culture internationally, lending plot elements, allusions, and tropes to a wide variety of media. The Aarne-Thompson system classifies Cinderella as "the persecuted heroine". The story of Rhodopis, about a Greek slave girl who marries the king of Egypt, is considered the earliest known variant of the "Cinderella" story (published 7 BC), and many variants are known throughout the world.

In September 1950, Horace Ward, an African American student from La Grange, Georgia, applied to law school at the University of Georgia. Despite his impressive academic record, Ward received a reply--in reality, a bribe--from one of the university's top officials offering him financial assistance if he would attend an out-of-state law school. Ward, outraged at the unfairness of the proposition and determined to end this unequal treatment, sued the state of Georgia with the help of the NAACP, becoming the first black student to challenge segregation at the University of Georgia. Beginning with Ward's unsuccessful application to the university and equally unsuccessful suit, Robert A. Pratt offers a rigorously researched account of the tumultuous events surrounding the desegregation of Georgia's flagship institution. Relying on archival materials and oral histories, Pratt debunks the myths encircling the landmark 1961 decision to accept black students into the university: namely the notion that the University of Georgia desegregated with very little violent opposition. Pratt shows that when Ward, by then a lawyer, helped litigate for the acceptance of Hamilton Earl Holmes and Charlayne Alberta Hunter, University of Georgia students, rather than outsiders, carefully planned riots to encourage the expulsion of Holmes and Hunter. Pratt also demonstrates how local political leaders throughout the state sympathized with--even aided and abetted--the student protestors. Pratt's provocative story of one civil rights struggle does not stop with the initial legal decision that ended segregation at the university. He also examines the legacy of Horace Ward and other civil rights pioneers involved in the university's desegregation--including Donald Hollowell and Constance Baker Motley--who continued for a lifetime to break color barriers in the South and beyond. We Shall Not Be Moved is a testament to Horace Ward, Hamilton Holmes, Charlayne Hunter-Gault, and others who bravely challenged years of legalized segregation.
