Of all the tools available to law enforcement, the living, breathing undercover operative remains the gold standard. This is true in TV shows and in the real world. In the era of electronic surveillance, UC work enforces accountability; it prevents mistakes, and of all the boots on the ground, undercover agents are often the most valuable. The FBI generally has about 100 UC agents working full-time in the field. In the 1990s and 2000s, Marc Ruskin had the most diverse, and notorious, case list of all, and the broadest experience within the bureaucracy, including overseas. He worked ops targeting public corruption, corporate fraud, Wall Street scams, narcotics trafficking, La Cosa Nostra, counterfeiting―and gritty street-level scams and schemes. Sometimes working three or four cases simultaneously, Ruskin switched identities by the day: Each morning he had to walk out the door with the correct ID, clothes, accessories and frame of mind for that day’s mission. Meet Alex Perez, Alejandro Marconi, and Sal Morelli, just a few of Ruskin’s undercover personas.And how is the right UC agent chosen, how is a bogus identity manufactured and “backstopped,” how is the Bureau's long-term con painstakingly assembled? No one has ever given us the inside story like Ruskin. The Pretender is the definitive narrative of undercover ops―the procedures, the successes, the failures--and the changes in the culture of the new-era FBI.

The story of Antonio Samson is the story of many Filipinos who find themselves lost and betrayed with nowhere to run to. It is a fate that is often their own compulsive making. But Antonio Samson is not just an Ilokano looking for his roots; he is also the modern Filipino who fails to act in a society bereft of decency and justice. This novel, written more than twenty years ago, continues to be read because of its contemporaneity and the insights it focuses on the dilemmas of social change. It is also the author's most translated novel.

Blu-ray pressing. Pretenders-Live in London captures the band's energy at it's purest form. The video was shot without the use of cranes, dollies or steadicams to create movement. Instead it is about the band, giving it all and not holding back any as it does any night when they hit the stage. This is a Rock concert and the music is in your face. The filmmakers' objective was to stay out the way and capture it within the frame. The band played brilliantly that night and what can be heard and see

LAUER SERIES IN RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION Series Editors: PATRICIA SULLIVAN, CATHERINE HOBBS, THOMAS RICKERT, AND JENNIFER BAY Political fights are not waged over who is speaking the truth but over whether any given claim seems to be authentic. EXPEL THE PRETENDER: RHETORIC RENOUNCED AND THE POLITICS OF STYLE examines how rhetorical style influences judgments about how to communicate integrity and good will. Eve Wiederhold argues that attitudes about style's significance to judgment are both undertheorized and over-determined, especially when style is regarded as an embellishment rather than as a constitutive aspect of language use. Examining news reports covering controversial speakers including President Bill Clinton, Linda Tripp, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, she demonstrates how rhetorical style is both belittled and yet remains a focal point for assessing public figures who have been publicly rebuked and discredited. EXPEL THE PRETENDER claims style as a conflicted site of materiality, critiquing contemporary rhetorical theories that configure style as a dependable resource for democratic inquiry. Wiederhold argues that conceptions of style's significance to judgment must be reframed to understand how we make decisions about who and what to believe. EVE WIEDERHOLD received her PhD in English (Language and Literacy) from the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has taught courses in rhetoric and composition studies at George Mason University, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and East Carolina University. Her articles have appeared in JAC, Rhetoric Review, and The Raymond Carver Review, as well as several edited collections.

In this book, the author focuses on the sociological origins, activities, and criminal careers of persistent thieves. He uses a crime-as-choice framework and a life-course perspective to make sense of important decisions and changes in the lives of persistent thieves.
