Books about Conspires from Amazon.com

Questioning the assumptions that govern our culture, this book focuses on one medium -- the movies. In particular, it examines how movies are packaged, distributed, and promoted, exposing industry secrets such as how Miramax often buys distribution rights to movies it then fails to distribute, presumably to make sure its competitors don't get them. The book shows, for the first time, how the corporate ownership of movie theaters defies antitrust laws and precedents stretching back over 50 years. While the average American can usually find a book or record that has not been endorsed by the mainstream media, when it comes to movies, consumers are powerless against what Rosenbaum calls "the media-industrial complex"..

When Father and Son Conspire examines in depth the September 29, 1983, murders of two southwestern Minnesota bankers by 46-year-old James Jenkins and his 18-year-old son, Steven, on a farm mortgaged to the bankers and abandoned by Jenkins. The crime led to a nationwide search, the apparent suicide of James, the surrender of Steven, and a case for Steven’s defense based on the bizarre relationship between father and son.

Was their crime really the desperate act of desperate men caught in the farm crisis, as the media espoused? Or was it the eruption of both men’s growing mental illness fed by mutual delusions of reality, rootlessness, divorce, loneliness, and obsessive behavior?

Nine detailed chapters examine the men, their myths, the murders they ommitted, and the motivation of it all-considering facts not taken into account at the trial and concluding that the farm crisis was a convincing excuse but not the real reason for this ruthless crime.

They entrusted the redistricting power to the safest repository they could think of: the people’s representatives In Stealing Our Votes: How Politicians Conspire to Control Elections and How to Stop Them, Dr. Clark demonstrates that this choice has turned out to be a disastrous loophole, threatening our ability to govern ourselves. The parties in power in state legislatures now use computers and redistricting software to increase their party’s political power, stealing from the voters their constitutional right to choose their representative. That is the evil of gerrymandering..
