While the southern Senators on the Judiciary Committee could not block the nomination from going to the Senate, they employed strategies to slow it down and to cast sufficient aspersions on the character and judicial record of Marshall to jeopardize his confirmation. The work is organized around the five days of hearings through which Haygood weaves the narrative of Marshall’s life. This work by Wil Haygood focuses on the showdown between Marshall and the southern members of the Senate Judiciary Committee opposed to his nomination during its hearings on the nomination before it was forwarded to the full Senate in the summer of 1967. Among his foremost accomplishments was the appointment of the first Black Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall. Probably the most shining legacy of the presidency of Lyndon Johnson were the advances he oversaw with civil rights against the opposition of southern Democrats in his own party. Summary: An account of the life of and rise to the Supreme Court of Thurgood Marshall structured around the five days of hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Showdown: Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court Nomination That Changed America, Wil Haygood.

Five minutes later, Mayzi Carter sent Tara Moxon away for her first try of the game before Amy Hardcastle extended the lead for the visitors. The Rhinos camped themselves in the Giants half but the hosts stood firm until the eighth minute when the ball was spread across the line to Hanna Butcher who dived over in the corner. The second rower took two minutes to get the first try, running from half way under the posts. Leeds began the try scoring through Bethan Dainton, who was back in the side following her appearance for the Army in their winning Inter Services final. The teams had met just over a month previous and Leeds had finished with a club record score of 80-0 in that league fixture, but this game proved to be a much tougher contest with a spirited Giants side testing the Rhinos defence. The result meant Leeds finished top of their table as the competition moves to the quarter final stages. It was another impressive defensive display from the Rhinos who haven’t conceded a point in their last three fixtures.

When Freedom Airlines flight 121 went down over the Pacific Ocean, no one ever expected to find survivors. Dizzying in scope and ambition, the trilogy is packed with vivid characters, thoughtful mediations on what it is to be human, heart-pounding action and a pulsating sense of dread and mounting tension that permeates every page. The three books that make up Cronin’s saga, The Passage, The Twelve, and The City Of Mirrors comprise a modern horror masterpiece. It’s hard to know where to begin when describing this series, so I’ll start with the stuff that would seem hyperbolic if it wasn’t true. Or at least it would be were it not for the existence of Justin Cronin’s PassageTrilogy. In a post Twilightworld, it’s hard to imagine that vampires can ever be scary again. Where once they were considered cool, sexy and dangerous, now they’re the butt of lots of jokes about sparkling.
