Our Gang satire skewers Tricky and Mary Queen of Scots review
A caustic review by Sy Roth condemns a new Our Gang book as merciless yet uneven satire skewering Tricky, with passages defending Calley and mocking abortion, homophobia, and political double talk. It contrasts this with a dismissive take on Mary Queen of Scots by John Hale, calling it a screen play led spectacle with little depth.

Martin Winar, 29, directs Mercer County Library in Trenton with five branches and a bookmobile serving 89,000 people. He built a $585,000 yearly budget and 350,000 yearly circulations by framing the library as vital to the community and wading into local politics. He studied politicians, joined their circles, and marketed the library as a vote winner, arguing money follows merit and politics.
