Graft, corruption, and vote-buying permeated the Suprreme Court of the State of Oklahoma in the 1960s until one justice, facing death from age and illness, gave a confession from his prison cell. Now, 30 years later, the one man who had the courage to act, stepped forward to reveal his role in uncovering the corruption in the legal system. During the period of 14 months, April 1964 to June 1965, the eyes of the nation werre focused on Oklahoma as three justices of the surpreme court were disgraced and a powerful legal family was toppled.

Hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces launched a devastating attack on U.S. troops in the Philippines. In May 1942, after months of battle with no reinforcements and no hope of victory, the remaining American forces, holed up on the tiny island of Corregidor, suffered a humiliating defeat, and 11,000 fighting men became prisoners of war in the largest American capitulation since Appomattox. Those lucky enough to survive the brutal conditions of their captivity remained imprisoned until General MacArthur returned to the Philippines in 1945.
