Final Argument: An examination into the murder of Mac and Muff Graham on Palmyra Island and subsequent trial of Stephanie Stearns

Final Argument: An examination into the murder of Mac and Muff Graham on Palmyra Island and subsequent trial of Stephanie Stearns

In August of 1974, two sailors from San Diego, Mac and Muff Graham, were brutally murdered by Buck Walker and Stephanie Stearns on the South Pacific island of Palmyra. Muff's murder was particularly egregious in that she was horribly tortured before her death. After killing the Grahams and stealing their sailboat Walker and Stearns returned to Hawaii to obtain a new registration and repair a plank in the hull that was damaged by bullets discharged from Muff's derringer as she fought for her life with Stearns in the cabin of the Sea Wind. Before Stearns and Walker could depart for the South Seas they were discovered aboard the Sea Wind and arrested for theft of the boat. In separate trials, both were found guilty of theft and several lesser charges. Walker was returned to prison on parole violations and Stearns sent off to jail for a few months. Seven years later Sharon Jordan and her husband, while beach combing on Palmyra Island, discovered the remains of Muff Graham. Officials were notified and warrants for murder were issued for both defendants. Walker was tried in July 1985. After two weeks in trial he was found guilty, the jury deliberating for less than two hours. Stearns' trial followed in February 1986. She was defended by Vincent Bugliosi, well known prosecutor of Charles Manson. He was assisted by attorney Leonard Weinglass of Chicago Seven fame. Stearns was found not guilty despite overwhelming evidence she planned the murders and participated in execution and torture of Muff Graham. Judge King, presiding over the trial, made numerous rulings which greatly assisted Stearns. Another factor playing a major role in Stearns' victory was the weak and confused prosecution directed by the U.S. Attorney's office. In Bugliosi's subsequent best selling book "And The Sea Will Tell", (ATSWT) which purportedly recounts the trial, he completely misrepresented his skills while reviewing his supposed cross examination of Edwin Pollock (aka Bernard Leonard in ATSWT). The court reporter's transcript reveals it was Pollock, a crucial witness, that schooled Bugliosi. Moreover, what Bugliosi presents as a withering cross-examination of another key witness, Curtis Shoemaker, did not occur as he suggested, but became a confused morass with Bugliosi, chastised by Judge King, limping off stage. In his trial summation he employs the "lie of the half truth" as a persuasive device on numerous occasions. Moreover, after all his carping about searching for the truth one finds him shamefully suborning perjury as he examines Stearns who purportedly recalls a conversation that Bugliosi, himself, admits never occurred. "Final Argument" exposes many of the lies propounded by both Stearns and Bugliosi in their headlong pursuit of a not guilty verdict. It shows Bugliosi to be an idol with feet of clay. Time and again the murder trial transcript reveals he crosses the line of propriety and ethics in pursuit of a not guilty verdict. All this is followed by whoring after fame and fortune in presenting a shamefully false narrative of his trial exploits in his best selling book "And The Sea Will Tell". This revised version of Final Argument has eliminated some of the redundancy found in the original and takes a closer look at Bugliosi's questionable defense tactics that permitted him to prevail.

The hallmarks of Graham Martin's life have been scholastics and athletics. He had a master's degree in history when he enlisted in the Navy in 1942. He was the only black player on the top-notch Great Lakes Naval Training Center football team. In early 1944 he was tapped for officer training and commissioned in March of that year. He then served as a battalion commander at Great Lakes, on board a yard patrol craft and a yard oiler at San Francisco, as athletic training officer in Hawaii and in Eniwetok, and as a public information officer. After leaving the service in 1946 he earned another master's degree in education, and embarked on a career of teaching and coaching at both collegiate and high school levels. Like others in the Golden Thirteen series, Martin recalls the training, camaraderie among the group, and the racial attitudes of the time.

W. Barns-Graham: A Studio Life

Lynne Green

Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd
2011
nidottu
British abstract painter Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (1912-2004) played a key role in the development of modern abstract art in Britain. This new paperback edition of Lynne Green's classic monograph completes the story of the artist's life and work with a new Coda covering Barns-Graham's final years, which draws for the first time on the artist's personal diaries and notebooks. Born in Fife, Scotland, for over sixty years Barns-Graham lived and worked in St Ives, at the heart of the avant-garde group of artists who made the town internationally famous. Arriving in Cornwall just months after the modernists Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo, Barns-Graham was quickly absorbed into their inner circle. She was subsequently one of the Crypt Group of young moderns, and a founder member of the breakaway Penwith Society of Arts. Green examines the importance of Barns-Graham's national tradition and of her teachers at Edinburgh School of Art, particularly the Scottish Colourists William Gillies and John Maxwell. Barns-Graham's developing commitment to abstraction is discussed in detail: never afraid to experiment, her work is revealed as embodying many of the issues central to post-war abstract art. Barns-Graham continued to work right up to her death with the energy and enthusiasm usually associated with the young. Towards the end of her life her art finally started to attract the attention it deserved.

*Includes pictures of Bell and important people, places, and events in his life. *Includes pictures of Bell's inventions and some of his designs. *Includes some of Bell's most inspirational quotes and descriptions of his work. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. "There cannot be mental atrophy in any person who continues to observe, to remember what he observes, and to seek answers for his unceasing hows and whys about things." - Alexander Graham Bell Today, Alexander Graham Bell is remembered almost solely for one of the few things he didn't have in his laboratory: the telephone. Long hailed as the inventor of the telephone, that accomplishment has nevertheless overshadowed a long and legendary scientific career that saw Bell contribute to a vast number of fields, ranging from geology to aeronautics. Bell also had the misfortune of being outshined by his contemporary Thomas Edison, who invented the incandescent light bulb and has gone down in history as America's greatest inventor. Like many great scientists and inventors, Bell had an unusually gifted intellect that was nurtured from an early age, and even as a child he had access to a workshop that allowed his curious mind to experiment and work. He was also multi-talented, flourishing in music, art, and even a unique form of sign language as his mother grew deaf, an event that would play an influential role in his development of various fields of communication. But ironically, as with Tesla, Edison, and Galileo, Bell's obsession with science and his eccentric learning methods made him a poor student in a formal school setting. Bell's interest in automation and sound led to nearly 20 years of work that he began as a teenager and culminated with the invention of the first telephone, a patent Bell received in March 1876 for "the method of, and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically ... by causing electrical undulations, similar in form to the vibrations of the air accompanying the said vocal or other sound." He was hardly the only one working on the concept; Bell filed for a patent the same day scientist Elisha Gray filed his patent for a similar device. Bell will always be remembered for inventing the telephone and the company that took his name, but he spent an entire lifetime exploring different scientific and medical fields. Biographer Charlotte Gray noted that the ever-curious Bell would actually read Encyclopedia Britannica at night in an attempt to find new things to work on. Bell eventually worked on everything from a breathing apparatus to water filters and aircrafts. Legendary Scientists: The Life and Legacy of Alexander Graham Bell profiles the life and legacy of the inventor of the telephone, while examining his career and contributions to science and technology. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Alexander Graham Bell like you never have before, in no time at all.
