"Her feet may be in town, but her ass - and the rest of her is in the county," said Canyon Police Chief Haskell Maddox. "Obviously she was shot in the city --- she just fell into the county," responded Sheriff's Patrol Deputy Savanna Breeze. "That means I've got -- at best -- assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder in the city. She didn't die until she was in the county. So, this is in the county's lap."Nobody wanted to deal with the murder of Myrtle Dagmar Puckett; the head of the North American Atheists Foundation. But when there's a Corpse In Canyon, a small town in the Texas Panhandle, it's somebody's case to solve and mess to clean up. Sometimes murder is just a bitch.

This year, 2013, marks the 70th anniversary of the Littlefield double murder of a young doctor and his wife and 100th anniversary of the founding of Littlefield. The recounting of the epic history of the murder of Dr. Roy Hunt in 1943, as we researched it, culminated in the first edition of Clovis Road. We felt it was an imperfect success. It got the riveting story out to a new generation, but it only answered some, but not all, the lingering questions for the Texans of 1943. We can announce that a motion picture project is now in development by a film production company, Mulligan Life, headed up by Ms. Anna Nupson. Many people from all over the United States came forward with treasured papers, secret stories, and photographs about family and old friends involved in the Hunt murder. So, we wish to thank the anonymous citizens of Littlefield who have come forth as well as the local newspaper publisher. Also, the families of W. R. Newton, and Jim Thomas provided new amazing details. More citizens of Cameron, some named, like a former district attorney, and some who want to remain unnamed, came forward with more of the story. Volunteer investigators have helped with research and photography. Richly revealing new information and interviews since 2009 require a second edition. With this rewrite we wish to sharpen the key characters and shift the focus of the motive of the terrible murder. We, and the readers who responded, have done both. After three more years of research there are new photos of Roy, Ruth, Dr. Billy, Mae, Mr. LaFont and Mr. Jim Thomas. Also, there is a new chapter, many more illustrations, 232 total pages (212 text versus 169 in first edition) , a new font, more than a dozen new stories, and 4500 words of new text.

An acerbic, withering account of the ascent of the Bush family to the pinnacle of the American political and social elite and the implications of the dynasty's hold on power for democracy in America. With an unerring instinct for fakery and humbug,Phillips traces the convoluted trail of Bush mendacity through three generations. The picture he paints of a family willing to do ANYTHING to hold power and a country so craven as to vote for it is both very funny and completely dismaying in equal measure.

The Big Bend, the Big Country, the Big Empty. The High Plains, the Permian and the Panhandle. Cowboys, Cowtown and the curl of a killer tornado. A place where “you can stretch your eyeballs.” Where the Hale-Bopp comet, “hardly visible above some smoggy, light-polluted cities, looked like it could drop into the Pecos River at any moment.” West Texas, home to the state’s biggest legends, is chronicled by two authors who have spent most of their careers crisscrossing it. Mike Cochran and John Lumpkin, Associated Press journalists, bring their experiences to the pages of this handsome volume, accompanied by fifty photographs of the West Texas landscape, its people and its history. Converse with West Texas characters like Stanley Marsh 3, conman Billy Sol Estes, and Big Spring’s merry messiah, Marj Carpenter. Meet Gordon Wood, Friday night football’s winningest coach, and Groner Pitts, Brownwood’s liveliest undertaker. Remember ranching icon Watt Matthews, the founders of Santa Rita No. 1, and Lubbock’s C. W. Stubblefield, magnet to blues and country music stars. Honor Hallie Stillwell, Frenchy McCormick, and even modern art’s Georgia O’Keeffe, who put their stamp on Texas’s most fascinating region. A West Texan once said, “They show no pictures of my province or even neighboring provinces. They leave a big hole in Texas.” No more is that the case, thanks to Mike Cochran and John Lumpkin.

This, the 30th edition of the "United States Government Printing Office Style Manual," is the first revision to this authoritative style manual since 2002. The "GPO Style Manual, as it is popularly known, is issued under the authority of section 1105 of Title 44 U.S.C., which requires the Public Printer, as head of the GPO to "dtermine the form and style in which the printing...ordered by a department is executed...having proper reagrd to economy, workmanship, and the purposes for which the work is needed." The Manual is prepared by the GPO Style Board, composed of proofreading, printing, and Government documents specialists from within GPO, where all congressional publications, and many other key Federal Government documents are prepared. The first "GPO Style Manual" appeared in 1894. It was developed orginally as a printer's stylebook to standardize word and type treatment and remains so today. Through successived editions, however, the "GPO Style Manual" has come to be widely recognized by writers and editors both within and outside the Federal Government as one of the most useful resources in the editorial arsenal. This new, revised version of the "GPO Style Manual" has been thoroughly redesigned to make it more modern and easier to read, and the content has been updated generally throughout in keeping with current usage.
