Cast of Characters
By Vinciguerra, Thomas
The professional and personal lives of the pioneers of an enduring magazine.From its birth in 1925 to the early days of the Cold War, The New Yorker slowly but surely took hold as the country's most prestigious, entertaining, and informative general-interest periodical. In Cast of Characters, Thomas Vinciguerra paints a portrait of the magazine's cadre of charming, wisecracking, driven, troubled, brilliant writers and editors.He introduces us to Wolcott Gibbs, theater critic, all-around wit, and author of an infamous 1936 parody of Time magazine. We meet the demanding and eccentric founding editor Harold Ross, who would routinely tell his underlings, "I'm firing you because you are not a genius," and who once mailed a pair of his underwear to Walter Winchell, who had accused him of preferring to go bare-bottomed under his slacks. Joining the cast are the mercurial, blind James Thurber, a brilliant cartoonist and wildly inventive fabulist, and the enigmatic E. B. White -- an incomparable prose stylist and Ross's favorite son -- who married The New Yorker's formidable fiction editor, Katharine Angell. Then there is the dashing St. Clair McKelway, who was married five times and claimed to have no fewer than twelve personalities, but was nonetheless a superb reporter and managing editor alike. Many of these characters became legends in their own right, but Vinciguerra also shows how, as a group, The New Yorker's inner circle brought forth a profound transformation in how life was perceived, interpreted, written about, and published in America.Cast of Characters may be the most revealing -- and entertaining -- book yet about the unique personalities who built what Ross called not a magazine but a "movement." 8 pages of illustrations

Wampum
By Mitchell, Donald
The never-before-told story of Indian Casinos in America In 2012, 240 Indian tribes operated 435 casinos, high stakes bingo halls, and other gambling facilities in 28 states. They collectively had an annual gross gaming revenue of $27.9 billion. But how did Indian Casinos become such a fixture of the American landscape? It was a mixture of an unlikely partnership between Indian Tribes and the Mafia, newly enacted federal laws, and the seductiveness of slot machines and blackjack tables. The story begins in 1979 and involves profit skimming, organized crime, and plots to bamboozle big city mayors. From those shady beginnings, the multi-billion dollar gambling empire we know today was born. Donald Mitchell's Wampum relates, in accessible prose, the tale of how the Mafia invented Indian bingo and replicated the model on Indian reservations nationwide, how Congress's enactment of a bill unwittingly produced hundreds of Las Vegas-style casinos, and how that same bill has wrought slot machines, fake tribes, and fake reservations across the United States. It is also the first book of its kind to attempt to explain how the story of the injustices the federal government inflicted on Native Americans was used to transform America by institutionalizing gambling.
