Book review of The States United They Fell by Frank Trippett
A brisk critique of state legislatures by Newsweek observer Frank Trippett. He portrays them as cautious and bloated with trivia while federal power expands. The book argues legislatures fail to act despite lengthy sessions and should be read before the 1967 General Assembly.

The Riot by Frank Elli review
A vivid prison riot novel set over two chaotic days in an old jail. Ex-prizefighter Bristow drags readers through dramatised violence and many inmates as they grapple with fear, drugs, and power struggles. Elli's behind-bars realism, drawn from years inside, earns him a seamy but authentic hero.
