...been since its first edition in 1975, which Harvard owns. It does not cite its sources nor give a complete ancestry of each president. A work of genealogical scholarship does exist: Ancestors of American Presidents, edited by Gary B. Roberts. Harvard owns this as well; and I admit to being mentioned in the acknowledgements of this work. Using that book as a reference, Mr. Brooks-Baker's claims are nonsense...
...Payne because prison officials offered to shave 15 years off his sentence. Thus armed, Khoury marched into a 1991 hearing to reopen his client's case--and was rudely rebuffed. First, Smith recanted his recantation, claiming coercion. Then the judge--who had presided over the original trial--refused to admit Smith's sworn affidavit, ruling that his original credibility was "resolved" by the first jury's belief in him.

I happened to be the Camp Mah-Kee-Nac riflery champion, and at the tender age of 12 all I knew about the NRA was that they supplied the cool patches that read "Marksman" and "Marksman First Class." I also knew that the riflery counselor, an ex-Marine named Leigh and a genuinely cool guy, was a member of the NRA. (Though even in my naivete I was a bit disturbed by his tendency...
...must admit that was the last time I was actually all that excited about election day. In 1992 I was resentful that I had missed my first presidential vote by a little over a year. In 1994, I hated the outcome so much I spent two years ranting about the system...
