    Fresh Air Archive: Dean Kahler and Paul Weyrich, Hörbuch, Digital, 41min
    Kent State shooting survivor Dean Kahler and founder of National Empowerment Television Paul Weyrich on this archive edition of Fresh Air. Dean Kahler was wounded in the Kent State University shootings. 25 years before this broadcast (May 4th, 1970), the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of students at Kent State University demonstrating against raids into Cambodia. Four students were killed and nine were injured in the shooting. The National Guard and Governor of Ohio (who ordered the Guard's presence) were exonerated of any responsibility for the shooting. Kahler was the only survivor to be paralyzed. He is currently a substitute teacher still living in Ohio. President of the Free Congress Foundation, Paul Weyrich is a staunch conservative who wants to lead people out of political apathy and towards involvement and influence. He founded National Empowerment Television (NET) which he refers to as C-SPAN with an attitude. And conservatives, especially Newt Gingrich who hosts his own show on the NET, are big advocates of the programming. (Original Broadcast Date: May 4, 1995) Language: English. Narrator: Terry Gross.

    One woman’s quest for revenge, a dangerous international conspiracy, and ruthless corporations intertwine in this pause-resister from bestselling author James W.

But the clues that she follows are leading her into the depths of a corrupt plot that is more poisonous and far-reaching than she realizes. And more dangerous, too, because her enemy is prepared for her pursuit.Accompanied by her brother and mobster grandfather, Harper treks across Spain from Seville to a medieval castle, home to a successful olive farmer who is one of Harper’s closest allies. Shadowed every step of the way by a ruthless assassin, Harper is moving ever deeper into enemy territory - and questioning whom she can really trust on this personal path of justice and revenge. ungekürzt.

    Executed Unjustly: True Stories of People Executed Wrongfully, Or Were They? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 129min
    Executed Unjustly: True Stories of People Executed Wrongfully, or Were They? recounts the true stories of people who were accused, convicted, and executed for crimes. Some of them were later officially exonerated for the crimes, and for others the preponderance of evidence today shows they were executed wrongfully, though they were never officially found innocent. The cases occurred in the United States, and it will be shown that our judicial system doesn't always result in fair decisions. It seems unimaginable to most of us that totally innocent people would actually lose their lives due to fear, social inequality, legal ineptitude, and downright criminal acts by those who promised to uphold the law. Some of the cases included are: Josefa Rodriguez - the only woman legally hanged in Texas Joe Arridy - a man with the mind of a six year old Leo Alexander Jones - a series of blunders and errors signed his death warrant Carlos DeLuna - a case of mistaken identity Be prepared to be shocked at the details of these cases and the tragic reasons and ways the innocent died. ungekürzt.

    This Rebel Heart (eBook, ePUB)
    The Fountains of Silence meets Spinning Silver in this rollicking tale set amid the 1956 Hungarian revolution in post-WWII Communist Budapest from Sydney Taylor Honor winner Katherine Locke. In the middle of Budapest, there is a river. Csilla knows the river is magic. During WWII, the river kept her family safe when they needed it most--safe from the Holocaust. But that was before the Communists seized power. Before her parents were murdered by the Soviet police. Before Csilla knew things about her father's legacy that she wishes she could forget. Now Csilla keeps her head down, planning her escape from this country that has never loved her the way she loves it. But her carefully laid plans fall to pieces when her parents are unexpectedly, publicly exonerated. As the protests in other countries spur talk of a larger revolution in Hungary, Csilla must decide if she believes in the promise and magic of her deeply flawed country enough to risk her life to help save it, or if she should let it burn to the ground. With queer representation, fabulist elements, and a pivotal but little-known historical moment, This Rebel Heart is Katherine Locke's tour de force.

    Death of a Dude , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min
    The mountain couldn't come to Wolfe, so the great detective came to the mountain - to Lame Horse, Montana, to be exact. Here a city slicker got a country girl pregnant and then took a bullet in the back. Wolfe's job was to get an innocent man exonerated of the crime and catch a killer in the process. But when he packed his silk pajamas and headed west, he found himself embroiled in a case rife with local cynicism, slipshod police work, and unpleasant political ramifications.In fact, Nero Wolfe was buffaloed until the real killer struck again, underestimating the dandified dude with an unerring instinct for detection. Introduction by Don Coldsmith.“It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.” (The New York Times Book Review)A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America’s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained - and puzzled - millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original 73 cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.  ungekürzt.

    Freeing David McCallum: The Last Miracle of Rubin "Hurricane" Carter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
    In April 2014, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter died after a long battle with cancer. David McCallum was exonerated and freed two months later, after serving 29 years in prison. This is the story of how Carter and his friend and coauthor Ken Klonsky worked for 10 years to help free the wrongfully convicted McCallum, along with a group of committed friends and professionals. It details their struggles from founding an innocence project to take on the case, to finding lawyers willing to work pro bono, to hiring a private detective to sift through old evidence and locate original witnesses, and the most difficult part, convincing members of a deeply flawed criminal justice system to reopen a case that would expose their own mistakes when all they wanted to do was ignore the conflicting evidence. Finally it took a new district attorney, a documentary film, and an op-ed piece written by Carter on his death bed published in the New York Daily News that made a plea for McCallum's release and turned the tide of justice. Freeing David McCallum tells a tale of frustration, agony, and undying hope, and the miracle that resulted in David's release. ungekürzt. Language: English.
