He was an effective leader of engineering operations at Bolckow Vaughans mines and collieries. He ended his career as a wealthy independent mine-owner and president of the North of England Institute of Mining, Marley was born at Middridge Grange, by Shildon, County Durham, England, not far from the town of Heighington. He was educated at Denton near Darlington, from 1840 he served as assistant at several Durham collieries. In 1845 he worked as a surveyor for the Stockton and Darlington Railway, in 1846 he became resident viewer at Woodifield Colliery, the start of his career at Bolckow & Vaughan. Over the next two decades, he became the head of engineering operations for Bolckow and Vaughans mines and collieries, in 1850, Vaughan and Marley made their famous discovery of the main seam of Cleveland Ironstone. He served as President from 1888–1890, in 1863, Marley discovered a deposit of rock salt at Middlesbrough while drilling for water. He resigned from Bolckow Vaughan in 1867, but continued to consult with them until 1869, in 1870, Marley became chairman of his own company, the newly registered North Brancepeth Coal Co. Ltd. It grew to include 4 collieries, by 1881, John Marley was living at Thornfield House, Darlington with his wife Sarah, four daughters, Caroline, Florence, Ethel and Isabel, and a son, Hugh. Another son J. W. Marley wrote a biographical note about Marley for the Institution of Mining Engineers. His nephew, Thomas William Marley was chairman of the North Brancepeth Coal company, Iron has been worked in Cleveland on a small scale since before Roman times. The Cleveland Ironstone Formation consists of seams of marine ironstone alternating with shale and siltstone, the Cleveland Ironstone Formation represents the Middle Lias or Upper Pliensbachian-Domerian. Two Ammonite zones are included, those indexed by Pleuroceras spinatum, the local newspaper The Northern Echo records the legend of Marleys discovery, Legend has it that on June 8,1850, the two men were out shooting rabbits in the Cleveland Hills. As he sprawled down the hole, his hand landed on the purest ironstone he had ever seen, the Echo at once adds This does the men a disservice. The discovery was no serendipitous accident, on 8 June 1850, Marley and Vaughan walked the coast to survey it for workable iron ore, expecting to find places where they could bore down to find useful amounts. They discovered seams of the running from the North Yorkshire coast at Staithes inland to the Eston Hills. This find was swiftly exploited, and Middlesbrough grew very rapidly to support the new ironworks developed by Bolckow Vaughan, the main ironstone seam in the Eston Hills is 16 feet thick. In ascending the hill in Mr. C, drydens grounds, we picked up two or three small pieces of ironstone. The commercial benefit of the discovery was simple, the ironstone was exposed at the surface, the rock could simply be quarried, and rolled in tramway wagons down to a 2-mile extension of the railway

United States Army

The United States Army is the largest branch of the United States Armed Forces and performs land-based military operations. After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on 3 June 1784, the United States Army considers itself descended from the Continental Army, and dates its institutional inception from the origin of that armed force in 1775. As a uniformed service, the Army is part of the Department of the Army. As a branch of the forces, the mission of the U. S. The branch participates in conflicts worldwide and is the major ground-based offensive and defensive force of the United States, the United States Army serves as the land-based branch of the U. S. Section 3062 of Title 10, U. S, the army was initially led by men who had served in the British Army or colonial militias and who brought much of British military heritage with them. As the Revolutionary War progressed, French aid, resources, a number of European soldiers came on their own to help, such as Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, who taught Prussian Army tactics and organizational skills. The army fought numerous pitched battles and in the South in 1780–81 sometimes used the Fabian strategy and hit-and-run tactics, hitting where the British were weakest, to wear down their forces. Washington led victories against the British at Trenton and Princeton, but lost a series of battles in the New York and New Jersey campaign in 1776, with a decisive victory at Yorktown, and the help of the French, the Continental Army prevailed against the British. After the war, though, the Continental Army was quickly given land certificates, State militias became the new nations sole ground army, with the exception of a regiment to guard the Western Frontier and one battery of artillery guarding West Points arsenal. However, because of continuing conflict with Native Americans, it was realized that it was necessary to field a trained standing army. The War of 1812, the second and last war between the United States and Great Britain, had mixed results. After taking control of Lake Erie in 1813, the U. S. Army seized parts of western Upper Canada, burned York and defeated Tecumseh, which caused his Western Confederacy to collapse. Following U. S. victories in the Canadian province of Upper Canada, British troops, were able to capture and burn Washington, which was defended by militia, in 1814. Two weeks after a treaty was signed, Andrew Jackson defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans and Siege of Fort St. Philip, U. S. troops and sailors captured HMS Cyane, Levant, and Penguin in the final engagements of the war. Per the treaty, both sides, the United States and Great Britain, returned to the status quo. Both navies kept the warships they had seized during the conflict, the armys major campaign against the Indians was fought in Florida against Seminoles. It took long wars to defeat the Seminoles and move them to Oklahoma

His successful teleplays included Patterns and Requiem for a Heavyweight, but constant changes and edits made by the networks, in Requiem for a Heavyweight, the line Got a match. But according to comments in his 1957 anthology Patterns, Serling had been trying to delve into more controversial than his works of the early 1950s. Despite bad reviews, activists sent numerous letters and wires protesting the production, the script, however, was rejected and shelved for a year until Bert Granet discovered and produced it as an episode of Desilu Playhouse in 1958. The show was a success and enabled Serling to finally begin production on his anthology series. There is a dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity and it is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of mans fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination and it is an area which we call The Twilight Zone. The Twilight Zone premiered the night of October 2,1959 and its the one series that I will let interfere with other plans, said Terry Turner for the Chicago Daily News. Even as the show proved popular to televisions critics, it struggled to find an audience of television viewers. CBS was banking on a rating of at least 21 or 22, the series future was jeopardized when its third episode, Mr. Denton on Doomsday earned a 16.3 rating. With one exception, the first season featured scripts written only by Rod Serling and these three were responsible for 127 of the 156 episodes in the series. Additionally, with one exception, Serling never appeared on camera during any first-season episode, Serling did appear on screen in Twilight Zone promotional spots plugging the following weeks episode – just not in the episodes themselves

–
Gunsmoke is an American radio and television Western drama series created by director Norman Macdonnell and writer John Meston. The stories take place in and around Dodge City, Kansas, the central character is lawman Marshal Matt Dillon, played by William Conrad on radio and James Arness on television. When aired in the UK, the series was initially titled Gun Law. The radio series ran from 1952 to 1961, John Dunning wrote that among radio drama enthusiasts, Gunsmoke is routinely placed among the best shows of any kind and any time. The television series ran for 20 seasons from 1955 to 1975, at the end of its run in 1975, Los Angeles Times columnist Cecil Smith wrote, Gunsmoke was the dramatization of the American epic legend of the west. Our own Iliad and Odyssey, created from elements of the dime novel and the pulp western as romanticized by Buntline, Harte. It was ever the stuff of legend, robinson instructed his West Coast CBS Vice President, Harry Ackerman, who had developed the Philip Marlowe series, to take on the task. Ackerman and his scriptwriters, Mort Fine and David Friedkin, created a script called Mark Dillon Goes to Gouge Eye based on one of their Michael Shayne radio scripts. Two auditions were created in 1949, CBS liked the Culver version better, and Ackerman was told to proceed. A complication arose, though, Culvers contract as the star of Straight Arrow would not allow him to do another Western series, the project was shelved for three years, when producer Norman Macdonnell and writer John Meston discovered it while creating an adult Western series of their own. Macdonnell and Meston wanted to create a radio Western for adults, in contrast to the prevailing juvenile fare such as The Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke was set in Dodge City, Kansas, during the thriving cattle days of the 1870s. Dunning notes, The show drew critical acclaim for unprecedented realism, the radio series first aired on CBS on April 26,1952 with the episode Billy the Kid, written by Walter Newman, and ended on June 18,1961. The show stars William Conrad as Marshal Matt Dillon, Howard McNear as Doc Charles Adams, Georgia Ellis as Kitty Russell, Dillon was played on radio by William Conrad and on TV by James Arness. Conrad was one of the last actors to audition for the role of Marshal Dillon, with a resonantly powerful and distinctive voice, Conrad was already one of radios busiest actors. Though Meston championed him, Macdonnell thought Conrad might be overexposed, during his audition, however, Conrad won over Macdonnell after reading only a few lines. Dillon as portrayed by Conrad was a lonely, isolated man, Macdonnell later claimed, Much of Matt Dillons character grew out of Bill Conrad. Meston relished the upending of cherished Western fiction clichés and felt that few Westerns gave any inkling of how brutal the Old West was in reality. Many episodes were based on mans cruelty to man and woman, inasmuch as the womans life

The Wild Wild West
–
The Wild Wild West is an American television series that ran on the CBS television network for four seasons from September 17,1965 to April 4,1969. Two television movies were made with the original cast in 1979 and 1980, developed at a time when the television western was losing ground to the spy genre, this show was conceived by its creator, Michael Garrison, as James Bond on horseback. The show featured a number of elements, such as the technologically advanced devices used by the agents. The combination of the Victorian era time-frame and the use of Verne-esque technology has inspired some to give the credit as being one of the more visible origins of the steampunk subculture. These elements were accentuated even more in the 1999 movie adaptation, despite high ratings, the series was cancelled near the end of its fourth season as a concession to Congress over television violence. The Wild Wild West told the story of two Secret Service agents, the fearless and handsome James T. West, and Artemus Gordon and their unending mission was to protect President Ulysses S. Grant and the United States from all manner of dangerous threats. The agents traveled in luxury aboard their own train, the Wanderer, thereafter, however, there is no pretense, and his reputation as the foremost Secret Service agent often precedes him. According to the TV movies, West retires from the Service by 1880, Gordon, who was a captain in the Civil War, had also been in show business. When he retires in 1880 he returns to performing as the head of a Shakespeare traveling players troupe, the show incorporated classic Western elements with an espionage thriller, science fiction/alternate history ideas, in one case horror and plenty of humor. In the tradition of James Bond, there were beautiful women, clever gadgets. The title of each episode begins with The Night and this followed other idiosyncratic naming conventions established by shows like Rawhide, where each episode title began with Incident at or Incident of, and The Man from U. N. C. L. E. Where episodes were titled The Affair, in 1954, Michael Garrison and Gregory Ratoff purchased the film rights to Ian Flemings first Bond novel, Casino Royale, for $600. CBS bought the TV rights for $1,000, and on October 21,1954 broadcast an adaptation on its Climax. Series, with Barry Nelson playing American agent ‘Jimmy Bond’ and Peter Lorre playing the villain, CBS also approached Fleming about developing a Bond TV series. In 1955 Ratoff and Garrison bought the rights to the novel in perpetuity for an additional $6,000 and they pitched the idea for a film to 20th Century Fox, but studio turned them down. After Ratoff died in 1960, his widow and Garrison sold the rights to Charles K. Feldman for $75,000. Feldman eventually produced the spoof Casino Royale in 1967, by then, Garrison and CBS had brought a James Bond to television in a unique way. The pilot episode, The Night of the Inferno, was produced by Garrison and, according to Robert Conrad, the episode was scripted by Gilbert Ralston, who had written for numerous episodic TV series in the 1950s and 1960s

Bonanza
–
Bonanza is an NBC television western series that ran from 1959 to 1973. The show continues to air in syndication, the show is set around the 1860s and it centers on the wealthy Cartwright family, who live in the area of Virginia City, Nevada, bordering Lake Tahoe. The series stars Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker, Michael Landon, Pernell Roberts, the show is known for presenting moral dilemmas. The shows theme song itself, called Bonanza, became a hit song in its own right, only instrumental renditions, absent Ray Evans words, were ever used during the series long run. In 2002, Bonanza was ranked No.43 on TV Guides 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time, the time period for the television series is roughly between 1861 to 1867 during and shortly after the American Civil War. During the summer of 1972, NBC aired reruns of episodes from the 1967–1970 period in time on Tuesday evening under the title Ponderosa. The show chronicles the adventures of the Cartwright family, headed by the thrice-widowed patriarch Ben Cartwright. Via exposition and flashback episodes, each wife was accorded a different ancestry, English, Swedish, the familys cook was the Chinese immigrant Hop Sing. Greene, Roberts, Blocker, and Landon were billed equally, the opening credits would alternate the order among the four stars. The family lived on a 600, 000+ acre ranch called the Ponderosa on the shore of Lake Tahoe in Nevada. The vast size of the Cartwrights land was quietly revised to half a million acres on Lorne Greenes 1964 song, the ranch name refers to the Ponderosa Pine, common in the West. The nearest town to the Ponderosa was Virginia City, where the Cartwrights would go to converse with Sheriff Roy Coffee, or his deputy Clem Foster. You always saw stories about family on comedies or on an anthology, but Bonanza was the first series that was week-to-week about a family, Bonanza was a period drama that attempted to confront contemporary social issues. That was very difficult to do on television, most shows that tried to do it failed because the sponsors didnt like it, and the networks were nervous about getting letters, explains Stephen Battaglio, a senior editor for TV Guide magazine. Episodes ranged from high drama, to comedy, and addressed issues such as the environment, substance abuse, domestic violence, anti-war sentiment. The series sought to illustrate the cruelty of bigotry against, Asians, African-Americans, Native Americans, Jews, Mormons, originally, the Cartwrights tended to be depicted as put-off by outsiders. Lorne Greene objected to this, pointing out that as the areas largest timber and livestock producer, the producers agreed with this observation and changed the Cartwrights to be more amiable. Though not familiar stars in 1959, the cast quickly became favorites of the first television generation, the order of billing at the beginning of the broadcast appeared to be shuffled randomly each week, with no relation whatsoever to the current episode featured that week

The Name of the Game (TV series)
–
The Name of the Game is an American television series starring Tony Franciosa, Gene Barry, and Robert Stack, airing from 1968 to 1971 on NBC, totaling 76 episodes of 90 minutes each. The show was a wheel series, setting the stage for The Bold Ones. The program had the largest budget of any series at that time. The series was based on the 1966 television movie Fame Is the Name of the Game, serving as a common connection was then-newcomer Susan Saint James as Peggy Maxwell, the editorial assistant for each. This graphic originally put the lead first, then the other two as starring in. Franciosa set on pale blue background, Barry on red, all three leads were thus depicted, although usually only one of them actually appeared. Each episode then carried individual credits with the featured lead name in followed by title, when the show ran on the Encore Mystery channel between 1996 and 1999, a single Stack–Barry–Franciosa opening graphic was shown on nearly every episode. This single graphic also preceded almost all except those four episodes on re-runs which Cozi TV aired in 2014, Franciosas Jeff Dillon segments were current affairs stories that ranged from industrial espionage, to medical fraud and malpractice, racial tensions, or shady goings-on in an Army training camp. Susan Saint Jamess award-winning character, research assistant Peggy Maxwell, was ever-present supporting character in the Jeff Dillon segments and she even shared the lead with him on one occasion, in the season two episode The King of Denmark. Barrys Glenn Howard was a cool, self-made businessman who cut an elegant, impeccable, playboy millionaire figure and his tales usually involved big business or political intrigue set in powerful, wealthy circles. Other memorable episodes included the spooky Tarot, the wild One of The Girls in Research, Howards assistant, Andrew Hill, appeared in some first-season episodes. Mark Miller was featured as Ross Craig in some Howard tales, Stacks Dan Farrell was a resolute, stern ex-F. B. I. Investigator, a figure with a tireless sense of justice. His stories were normally crime capers, often unusual types such as killers, corruption in sport or televangelism, illegal use of prisoners as slave labor. Most Stack episodes concluded with an image that transformed into the most recent cover shot of Crime Magazine. Franciosa was apparently fired amid some acrimony from the producers during the third season of the shows run. These episodes duly created the impression of Howard Publications being a concern with many top reporters. Franciosas face was featured on the opening graphic for season three, with the guest leads billed as, Guest Starring in

McCloud (TV series)
–
McCloud is an American television police drama that aired on NBC from 1970-77. The series starred Dennis Weaver, and for six of its seven years on the air it aired as part of the NBC Mystery Movie wheel series that was produced for the network by Universal Television. The show was centered on Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud of Taos, New Mexico, the first choice for the role of McCloud was Fess Parker, who turned it down. Universal hired the highly experienced Dennis Weaver and this premise of a cowboy in the big city was more or less adapted from the 1968 Don Siegel film, Coogans Bluff, starring Clint Eastwood. Herman Miller was responsible for the story of Coogans Bluff and co-wrote the screenplay with Dean Riesner, indeed, Miller is credited as the creator of McCloud. Coogans Bluff reflects Richard Thorpes 1942 film Tarzans New York Adventure, like Coogan, McCloud galloped the length and breadth of Manhattan, and the sight of McCloud on horseback riding down the middle of a busy street became one of the series most famous images. The following fall, the network commissioned a new wheel series, NBC ordered two new series, McMillan & Wife and Columbo, to fill the wheel and all three became part of the new NBC Mystery Movie series, which aired on Wednesday nights. The series became a hit, finishing at number 14 for Nielsen ratings for the 1971–1972 season, NBC then decided to try another competitive move and relocated McCloud, along with McMillan and Columbo, to Sunday nights for the following fall. The Mystery Movie series was a bigger draw on Sundays. Starting in the season in the fall of 1974, the episodes were two hours long, but were dropped again to 90 minutes for the seventh and final season starting in the fall of 1976. The 46th and last episode, McCloud Meets Dracula, was aired on April 17,1977, Weaver received Emmy nominations in 1974 and 1975 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series. The executive producer was Glen A. Larson, who wrote for the series, as did Peter Allan Fields, Lou Shaw, Jimmy Sangster. Larson won an Edgar Award for The New Mexican Connection, in 1989, Weaver reprised the role in a made-for-television movie, The Return of Sam McCloud, in which his character was now a United States Senator. It first aired on November 12,1989, Diana Muldaur returned to reprise her role as McClouds love interest, Chris Coughlin. McClouds attire, typically consisting of a coat or Western jacket, bolo tie and cowboy hat. That New Yorkers might mistake him for a naïf because of his appearance occasionally worked to his advantage and he would often allay suspicion of his motives by insisting he was in New York to observe and learn. Under his jacket or coat, he wore a khaki uniform shirt with a brown star-shaped uniform patch with gold trim on left sleeve. There was a circle in the center with the number 33

The National Broadcasting Company is an American commercial broadcast television network that is the flagship property of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. The network is part of the Big Three television networks, founded in 1926 by the Radio Corporation of America, NBC is the oldest major broadcast network in the United States. Following the acquisition by GE, Bob Wright served as executive officer of NBC, remaining in that position until his retirement in 2007. In 2003, French media company Vivendi merged its entertainment assets with GE, Comcast purchased a controlling interest in the company in 2011, and acquired General Electrics remaining stake in 2013. Following the Comcast merger, Zucker left NBC Universal and was replaced as CEO by Comcast executive Steve Burke, during a period of early broadcast business consolidation, radio manufacturer Radio Corporation of America acquired New York City radio station WEAF from American Telephone & Telegraph. Westinghouse, a shareholder in RCA, had an outlet in Newark, New Jersey pioneer station WJZ. This station was transferred from Westinghouse to RCA in 1923, WEAF acted as a laboratory for AT&Ts manufacturing and supply outlet Western Electric, whose products included transmitters and antennas. The Bell System, AT&Ts telephone utility, was developing technologies to transmit voice- and music-grade audio over short and long distances, the 1922 creation of WEAF offered a research-and-development center for those activities. WEAF maintained a schedule of radio programs, including some of the first commercially sponsored programs. In an early example of chain or networking broadcasting, the station linked with Outlet Company-owned WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island, AT&T refused outside companies access to its high-quality phone lines. The early effort fared poorly, since the telegraph lines were susceptible to atmospheric. In 1925, AT&T decided that WEAF and its network were incompatible with the companys primary goal of providing a telephone service. AT&T offered to sell the station to RCA in a deal that included the right to lease AT&Ts phone lines for network transmission, the divisions ownership was split among RCA, its founding corporate parent General Electric and Westinghouse. NBC officially started broadcasting on November 15,1926, WEAF and WJZ, the flagships of the two earlier networks, were operated side-by-side for about a year as part of the new NBC. On April 5,1927, NBC expanded to the West Coast with the launch of the NBC Orange Network and this was followed by the debut of the NBC Gold Network, also known as the Pacific Gold Network, on October 18,1931. The Orange Network carried Red Network programming, and the Gold Network carried programming from the Blue Network, initially, the Orange Network recreated Eastern Red Network programming for West Coast stations at KPO in San Francisco. The Orange Network name was removed from use in 1936, at the same time, the Gold Network became part of the Blue Network. In the 1930s, NBC also developed a network for shortwave radio stations, in 1927, NBC moved its operations to 711 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, occupying the upper floors of a building designed by architect Floyd Brown

The network is headquartered on Columbus Avenue and West 66th Street in Manhattan, New York City. There are additional offices and production facilities elsewhere in New York City, as well as in Los Angeles and Burbank. Since 2007, when ABC Radio was sold to Citadel Broadcasting, ABC originally launched on October 12,1943, as a radio network, separated from and serving as the successor to the NBC Blue Network, which had been purchased by Edward J. Noble. It extended its operations to television in 1948, following in the footsteps of established broadcast networks CBS, in the mid-1950s, ABC merged with United Paramount Theatres, a chain of movie theaters that formerly operated as a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures. Leonard Goldenson, who had been the head of UPT, made the new television network profitable by helping develop, in 1996, most of Capital Cities/ABCs assets were purchased by The Walt Disney Company. The television network has eight owned-and-operated and over 232 affiliated television stations throughout the United States, most Canadians have access to at least one U. S. ABC News provides news and features content for radio stations owned by Citadel Broadcasting. In the 1930s, radio in the United States was dominated by three companies, the Columbia Broadcasting System, the Mutual Broadcasting System and the National Broadcasting Company. The last was owned by electronics manufacturer Radio Corporation of America, in 1938, the FCC began a series of investigations into the practices of radio networks and published its report on the broadcasting of network radio programs in 1940. The report recommended that RCA give up control of either NBC Red or NBC Blue, at that time, the NBC Red Network was the principal radio network in the United States and, according to the FCC, RCA was using NBC Blue to eliminate any hint of competition. Once Mutuals appeals against the FCC were rejected, RCA decided to sell NBC Blue in 1941, the newly separated NBC Red and NBC Blue divided their respective corporate assets. Investment firm Dillon, Read & Co. offered $7.5 million to purchase the network, Edward John Noble, the owner of Life Savers candy, drugstore chain Rexall and New York City radio station WMCA, purchased the network for $8 million. Due to FCC ownership rules, the transaction, which was to include the purchase of three RCA stations by Noble, would require him to resell his station with the FCCs approval, the Commission authorized the transaction on October 12,1943. Soon afterward, the Blue Network was purchased by the new company Noble founded, Noble subsequently acquired the rights to the American Broadcasting Company name from George B. Meanwhile, in August 1944, the West Coast division of the Blue Network, both stations were then managed by Don Searle, the vice-president of the Blue Networks West Coast division. The ABC Radio Network created its audience slowly, the network also became known for such suspenseful dramas as Sherlock Holmes, Gang Busters and Counterspy, as well as several mid-afternoon youth-oriented programs. S. From Nazi Germany after its conquest, to pre-record its programming, while its radio network was undergoing reconstruction, ABC found it difficult to avoid falling behind on the new medium of television. To ensure a space, in 1947, ABC submitted five applications for television station licenses, the ABC television network made its debut on April 19,1948, with WFIL-TV in Philadelphia becoming its first primary affiliate

Perry Mason
–
Perry Mason is a fictional character, a criminal defense lawyer who is the main character in works of detective fiction written by Erle Stanley Gardner. Perry Mason is featured in more than 80 novels and short stories, typically, Mason establishes his clients innocence by implicating another character, who then confesses. The character of Perry Mason was adapted for motion pictures and a radio series. These were followed by its adaptation, the CBS television series Perry Mason starring Raymond Burr. The Perry Mason series ranks third in the top ten best selling book series, in 2015 the American Bar Associations publishing imprint, Ankerwycke, began reissuing Gardners Perry Mason books, which had been out of print in the United States. The name Perry Mason dates to creator Gardners childhood, as a child, Gardner was a reader of the magazine Youths Companion. The magazine was published in Boston, Massachusetts, by the Perry Mason Company, when Gardner created his fictional attorney, he borrowed the name of the company which published his favorite childhood magazine. Gardner provided more information about Masons character in the novels, knowledge of his character is largely taken for granted in the later works. In the first novel, Mason describes himself, Youll find that Im a lawyer who has specialized in trial work, and in a lot of criminal work. Im a specialist on getting people out of trouble. They come to me when theyre in all sorts of trouble, If you look me up through some chap in the District Attorneys office, hell tell you that Im a dangerous antagonist but he doesnt know very much about me. Gardner depicts Mason as a lawyer who fights hard on behalf of his clients and he frequently accepts clients on a whim based on his curiosity about their problem, for a minimal retainer, and finances the investigation of their cases himself if necessary. In The Case of the Caretakers Cat, his principal antagonist, District Attorney Hamilton Burger, says, when you turn your mind to the solution of a crime, you ferret out the truth. The Court feels you are capable of looking after your own as well as your clients interests. Another frequent antagonist, Lieutenant Arthur Tragg of the squad, has a discussion with Mason about his approach to the law. Mason is recovering from having been poisoned, and Tragg is investigating and he says, How does it feel to be the victim for once. … Youve been sticking up for criminals and now you can see the side of the picture. Not sticking up for criminals, protested indignantly, I have never stuck up for any criminal. I have merely asked for the administration of an impartial justice … Due legal process is my own safeguard against being convicted unjustly

It received two Academy Awards, but was not nominated for best picture, Rosy Ryan, only daughter of the local publican, widower Tom Ryan, is bored with life in Kirrary, an isolated village on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The villagers are nationalists, taunting British soldiers from an army camp. Ryan publicly supports the recently suppressed Easter Rising, but secretly serves the British as an informer, Rosy falls in love with the village schoolmaster, widower Charles Shaughnessy. She imagines, though he tries to convince her otherwise, that he will somehow add excitement to her life and they marry and settle in the schoolhouse, but he is a quiet man uninterested in physical love. Major Randolph Doryan arrives to command of the army camp. After winning a Victoria Cross on the Western Front, he has a leg and is suffering from shell shock. When he visits the pub where Rosy is serving alone, he collapses under a flashback to the trenches and is comforted by her, the two kiss passionately until they are interrupted by the arrival of Ryan and others. Next day, the two ride to a forest for a passionate liaison, Charles becomes suspicious of Rosy, but keeps his thoughts to himself. Charles takes his schoolchildren to the beach, where he notices Doryans telltale footprints accompanied by a womans in the sand and he tracks the prints to a cave and imagines Doryan and Rosy conducting an affair. Local halfwit Michael notices the footprints as well and searches the cave, finding Doryans Victoria Cross, he pins it on his lapel and proudly parades through the village, but suffers abuse from the villagers. When Rosy comes riding past, Michael approaches her tenderly, between Rosys dismay and Michaels pantomime, the villagers surmise that she is having an affair with Doryan. When they leave, Ryan tips off the British, the entire village turns out to help the rebels, with Ryan the most outwardly devoted to the task, wading into the breakers repeatedly to salvage boxes of weapons and explosives. OLeary is overwhelmed by Ryans devotion, and the villagers are ebullient and they gleefully free the rebels loaded truck from the wet sand and follow it up the hill. Doryan, waiting at the top with his troops, captures the men, oLeary makes a break, but Doryan climbs atop the truck and brings him down with a single rifle shot. Then he suffers a flashback and collapses, Rosy presses through the crowd in concern, outraging the villagers

Tony, sent to negotiate a price for the stunt, is taken on a wild ride in a tuned-up stunt car by Hooper. Tony agrees to pay him and Ski the $100,000 due to the involved in jumping a car 325 feet. Jocko suffers a stroke, but he denies the gravity of his condition, seeing the elder stuntman in the hospital motivates Sonny to promise Gwen that he will quit the business after the film wraps. Sonny learns from his friend and assistant, Cully, that Roger is downsizing the crew to pay for the final gag, Cully, unaware that Hooper has kept the rocket car stunt and his health status secret from Gwen, speaks openly about both in front of her.

It stars Susan Hayward as Graham, and also features Simon Oakland, Stafford Repp, and Theodore Bikel. The movie was adapted from letters written by Graham and newspaper articles written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ed Montgomery and it presents a somewhat fictionalized version of the case showing a possibility of innocence concerning Graham. Today, the charge would be known as felony murder, the film earned six Oscar nominations, with Hayward winning a Best Actress Oscar at the 31st Academy Awards. The film tells the story of the life and execution of Barbara Graham, Graham is the product of a broken home, and works luring men into fixed card games. At one point, she attempts to go straight but marries the wrong man and he is a drug addict and she ends their relationship. When her life falls apart, she returns to her former professions, the police arrest them, and her companions accuse her of the murder to reduce their own chances of going to the gas chamber. She claims her innocence, but is convicted and executed, a prologue and epilogue contributed to the film by Montgomery characterize the films content — which largely portrays Graham as innocent of the murder — as factual. But there was evidence of Grahams complicity in the crime which included her taped confession to an undercover officer. Hollywood writer Robert Osborne, who became the host of Turner Classic Movies, interviewed Hayward. The film earned a net profit of $2,455,570 and she had no hesitation about indulging in any form of crime or vice that promised excitement on her own, rather mean, terms. Hayward brings off this complex characterization, Simon Oakland, as Montgomery, who first crucified Barbara Graham in print and then attempted to undo what he had done, underplays his role with assurance. From a loose and wise-cracking B-girl she moves onto levels of disdain and then plunges down to depths of terror. Except that the role does not present us a precisely pretty character, gene Blake, the reporter who covered the actual murder trial for the Los Angeles Daily Mirror, called the movie a dramatic and eloquent piece of propaganda for the abolition of the death penalty. In 2009, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that out of eleven reviews of the film were positive.

At the bridge, the car proceeds to crush one cyclist against the wall, a hitchhiker, hoping to get a ride, encounters the car and insults it after it purposefully tries to run him down. In response, the car runs over him several times and leaves and that night, in an apparent bid to kill Amos, the car instead runs over the sheriff, leaving Chief Deputy Wade Parent in charge. During the resulting investigation, an eyewitness to the accident states that there was no driver inside the car, Wade asks his girlfriend, Lauren, who is a teacher at the local school, to cancel the upcoming marching band rehearsals for their safety. Lauren and her friend, who is Wades deputy Luke Johnsons wife, ask him to let them rehearse, the car enters the town and attacks the school marching band as it rehearses at the local show ground. It chases the group of teachers and students into a cemetery, curiously enough, the machine will not enter onto the consecrated ground as Lauren taunts the purported driver that any of the townsfolk have yet to see. Seemingly in anger, the car destroys a brick gate post, the police chase the automobile along highways throughout the desert before it turns on them, destroying several squad cars and killing five of Wades deputies in the process. Wade confronts the vehicle and is surprised to see none of his bullets put a dent on the cars windshield or tires. After trying to open the door, Wade is knocked out and the car escapes. That evening, Lauren, on her way home to pick up her things, is killed when the car jumps driving straight through her house and rams her, right when she is speaking to Wade over the phone. Luke puts forward to a grief-stricken and maddened Wade the theory that it acted in revenge for the insults hurled on it by Lauren, Wade concocts a plan to stop the car by burying it beneath a controlled explosion in the canyons that lie outside of town. After discovering it waiting for him in his own garage, he is forced to carry out his plans post haste and he is pursued by the car into a mountainous canyon area where his remaining deputies have set a trap for the machine. In a final confrontation, Wade and Luke, at the edge of a cliff, bait the car into running straight at them, then jump aside as it goes over the cliff. With the dynamite detonated and the rubble falling on it, a monstrous demonic visage appears in the smoke and fire of the explosion, the final scenes show Wade refusing to believe what the group saw in the flames, despite Lukes insistence about what he saw. The film concludes, in some cuts, with the car prowling the streets of downtown Los Angeles, the evil black car in the film was a customized 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III designed by famed Hollywood car customizer George Barris
