The wiki for Murder, Inc. only lists one book as suggested reading--surely there must be more?

Surely there must be other authoritative resources besides "Murder Inc – The Story of the Syndicate" (1951), by Burton Turkus and Sid Feder to learn about Murder, Inc.?

The wiki lists lots of NYT articles, but only the one book under "In Popular Culture".

Famous Forest Fire & Building Fire photobooks

I am looking for a book about famous forest fires or building fires, with heavy emphasis on photos and fewer words.

I love Woke Bill

Woke Bill is the jam.

And if you don't like Donna Brazile getting flirty, that's on you. You're cringe, hmm?

The title was something like, "That Strange Decade: The Seventies".

My friend's father was reading it about 20 or 30 years ago, so late 90s or early aughts.

So it seems like spice isn't illegal in ANH, although working the spice mines of Kessel is punishment, but transporting spice is definitely contraband in the EU.

(I get it. Lucas was making, at the time, a one-off film, so it wasn't necessary to flush out the entire cultural placement of spice.)

Any variation of "There's gonna be a hangin'," comes to mind when I think about the scariest / hardest line delivered by an actor. When I think about the actual vigilante "justice" that occurred in the Old West, this seems pretty scary. Imagine 10, 20, 30, 50 people all wanting you dead!

In Young Guns II, Chavez says, "If you go in there, I'll bury you there." Not scary, but hard.

Bronson says, "You brought two too many," also a pretty hard line.

What line from a Western do you think goes really hard?
