[Jack should be a Marine.] Also, there is something almost religious to have new Jack Reacher and Gabriel Allon novels appear at almost the same time. Can you imagine Childs and Silva getting together and writing a book that included the two most compelling killer-assasin-hero fictional chacters of our time?

I can wait up to 3 months before a new release is on the shelves. But as luck has it will be in San Francisco late July.

Just as crime-ridden are many of the songs in that musical and the composer's Assassins. Not to mention the Sharks and Jets songs he and Leonard Bernstein wrote for West Side Story. I'm pretty fond of Rodgers and Hart's To Keep My Love Alive, from their Broadway adaptation of Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee. The setup: "I married many men,/ A ton of them,/ And yet I was untrue to none of them/ Because I bumped off every one of them/ To keep my love alive." Singer then goes on to describe her string of murders. "Sir Thomas had insomnia/He couldn't sleep at night./ I bought a little arsenic./ He's sleeping now all right." Finally, one of the great jazz singer Mose Allison's best songs is Parchman Farm, in which a prisoner complains that he's "sittin' over here on Parchman (Prison) Farm but I didn't do anybody any harm." He continues to elaborate on that theme -- his innocence -- until the splendidly ironic last two lines of the lament: "I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life, here on the Farm for my natural born life/ ... An' all I ever did was shoot my wife." The story is that Allison visited a friend banished to the Louisiana Farm and removed the song from his repertoire, no longer finding it amusing.
