Kidnapped : the tragic life of J. Paul Getty III
The true account behind the glamorous life and tragic times of J. Paul Getty III, whose kidnapping made headlines in 1973, as seen in Ridley Scott's 'All the Money in the World' and Danny Boyle's 'Trust J. Paul (\"Little Paul\") Getty III,' the grandson of Getty Oil founder J. Paul Getty, may have been cursed by money and privilege from the moment he was born. Falling in with the wrong people and practically abandoned by his famous family, Getty was a child of his international jet set era, moving from Marrakesh to Rome, nightclubs to well-appointed drug dens. His high-profile kidnapping defined the decade--and was permanently memorable for the ear that was mailed to his mother as evidence of the kidnappers' intentions.

From a Once-Young Feminist: Remembering Adrienne Rich
Here, Daniels remembers poet Andrienne Rich and how the latter influenced her life. She says her life carried not only its personal meaning but something beyond herself that she might touch, and--with enough hard work, discipline, and courage--even change, was the first lesson she absorbed from the amazing poet. The news of Rich's death spread quickly over the Internet, and her circle of poet-friends in the words Judith Baumel, \"wailed beside each other\" in cyberspace. She realized it had never occurred to her, either, that one day it would be necessary to live in a world that did not include Rich. The poet has passed over into some other form, yet, everyone knows where to look for her: in the pages of her poems and prose, and deeply within themselves, and into one another's faces and lives.
