A sixteen-year-old black youth is attacked and beaten by members of a high school fraternity at the end of the first week of school in 1980. The brothers are stopped by Alex Moran, a fraternity brother from a neighboring chapter who steps in and breaks it up, but not until the damage has been inflicted. Alex is identified by the victim and is sought by both the victim and his rogue fraternity brothers who have adopted a neo-Nazi ideology with the idea of ridding their town of Jews and minorities while Alex’s chapter has decided to admit black students—who are mostly new to the town—as members for the first time. 
High school life in 1980 in the small town of Malbrook on Long Island provides the backdrop for the three separate groups of friends who are all looking at the situation through their own unique circumstances. 
A night of mayhem ensues in which members of the rogue chapter burn down a temple and cause chaos in the Jewish community. To complicate matters, the victim’s cousin and three friends are in Malbrook seeking revenge against the attackers and are soon sought for the fire and the beating of one of the victim’s attackers. 
As detectives close in on the real culprits, one final showdown occurs where all three groups are brought together to settle things once and for all.

This illustrated history of Lancia tells the story of the long line of distinctive cars produced by this famous Italian company from its foundation in 1906 to the beginning of the 21st century. The evolution of Lancia's cars and other vehicles forms the core of the narrative, but the author also offers an insight into the dominating personalities who shaped Lancia's history. He describes, too, the company's successes and the set-backs it has suffered while playing a key role in the European car industry since 1906. The author brings his detailed account up to date by looking at Lancia's latest models and at the position of this notable marque in the huge Fiat empire.

Much more than an excellent gazetteer, an engaging history using contemporary sources shows whose hands the defence of the Anglo-Scottish border was in while Henry V was at Agincourt. Subsequent surveys show how Christopher Dacre forwarded a bold project that linked a string of towers forming a defence against marauding Scots, suggesting new towers to stop gaps, a 'dyke or defence' joining them like a latter-day Hadrian's Wall. Beyond this line were many peles or bastles, homes to the headsmen of the notorious reiving families cursed in 1525 by the Bishops of Durham and Glasgow because of their brutal way of life, giving rise to much romance and legend. Polite society occupied the large castles of the coastal area.This history and gazetteer, with 500 entries, will increase your knowledge of Northumberland and its proud, turbulent past.

The MR2 started life as the SV-3 concept car, introduced at the 1983 Tokyo Show.

The 987-series built on the success of the original Boxster, and also spawned a new coupe version called the Cayman. In true Porsche tradition, the model was subjected to a programme of continuous development and allowed to evolve, with increasingly sportier versions following year after year. Told by a leading marque authority, this is the definitive story of Porsche's affordable two-seater models from prototype stage to 2012, which signaled the end of the 987's run.
