![]() ![]() ![]() I still eat meat if we go out, and when my in-laws visit there’s usually plenty of hot chicken around, but the majority of my diet is plant-based. Aside from the occasional desire to go out and kill something with my bare hands, I’ve slowly made the transition myself. Part why my diet changed is that I’m married to a vegan. Somehow I survived into adulthood without scurvy and am now a willing consumer of spinach, asparagus, and even brussels sprouts. ![]() I ate potatoes, but that’s like saying you like beer then ordering an O’Doul’s, and the only green things I ate were candy or cereal so sugary it might have qualified as candy. I didn’t eat vegetables as a kid I don’t mean I choked down random green beans or gagged my way through the occasional salad. ![]()

There have been a plethora of books already written on the subject of the Salem witch trials, but the majority of them tend to approach the subject through the women who were accused as victims. A prolific author on historical subjects, she also serves as the president of the American Historical Association. Norton is the Mary Donlon Alger Professor of American History at Cornell University. ![]() ![]() In the Devil's Snare Summary Published in 2003, In the Devil's Snare, a non-fiction work by American historian Mary Beth Norton, examines the 1962 Salem witch trials, in which one hundred forty-four people were prosecuted as witches, under the thesis that the violence of the First and Second Indian Wars were a major factor in causing the trials. ![]() ![]() I appreciate “fan letters” of course, and I do answer your requests for help, but it truly is much easier if you just comment on whatever the day’s post is! Even so, I can’t delete all of them, except one by one. To delete any comments but the ones on the main page takes me forever, and I just wasted an hour doing it.

With a sigh, Eve sat down at the little metal table in Interview A. “Never touched him.” Bonning folded his oversized lips, tapped his long, fat fingers. I hear they’re serving pasta surprise in lockup tonight.” A confession, and you can go for self-defense and diminished capacity. “Come on, Boner.” It was her veteran cop talking to veteran bad guy. She had Bonning in Interview and calculated that it would take another twenty minutes tops to shake a confession out of him, another fifteen to book him and file her report. It was the last of these, in Eve’s mind, that had led one John Henry Bonning to throw one Charles Michael Renekee out a twelfth-story window on Avenue D.
