LARRY MILLER is the tough-as-nails, fun-loving, working class bad boy who in the 1960s saved young North Carolina coach Dean Smith's job by winning his first two ACC titles and a trip to the National Championship game. A two-time All American, Miller is still the only Tar Heel ever named ACC Player of the Year twice. He was also the first heartthrob of the modern ACC before moving on to become the Joe Namath of the ABA, setting the pro league's All-Time Single Game scoring record. And then he simply disappeared. Now, for the first time, North Carolina's foundational player shares priceless stories from the locker rooms, road trips, parties and fights of the teams that established Dean Smith's Tar Heel legacy... and from the raffish early days of modern pro basketball. It's all here: The charm of yesteryear's tiny Catasauqua, Pa., where a high school hero's blue collar hunger made him the most coveted recruit in the nation... The bribes dangled by unscrupulous colleges... The mysterious pills that caused young Larry to skip his H.S. All America Award banquet... The time he risked getting thrown out of college to save a buddy... The party at Kentucky that was so wild Coach Smith threatened to yank the entire team's scholarships... The game that so impressed Pat Conroy that he later wrote in My Losing Season, I will never forget the dark fire of Larry Miller - unaware that just hours later Miller almost fell out of a thirteenth-floor window in a girls' dorm... The night he upstaged Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels in concert... How Coach Smith negotiated a monster pro contract for him... Why Larry skedaddled from UNC one credit shy of graduation to escape a Duke frame-up... The flower power years in LA, playing 1-on-1 with the great Jim Brown and his staff of naked Swedish girls, dating Clint Eastwood's secretary, winning The Dating Game, and the scuttlebutt behind Wilt Chamberlain's claim of bedding 20,000 women... The chaotic management of the ABA and the dark side of colorful coach Bones McKinney... Wild times with the early creators of NASCAR, and how he stole a night honoring Richard Petty... The jinxed playboy pad where Miller and others nearly died... How he outsmarted his vindictive draft board... Decades of Dean Smith's letters still coaching his most beloved and wayward player... and much, much more. Larry Keith of Sports Illustrated calls Larry Miller Time the great untold story of Carolina basketball... a fascinating tale with an unexpected ending. Coach Roy Williams says, Larry Miller was one of those mythical figures to me... he was one of my heroes. Charles Scott claims, Larry was the winner who made Coach Smith a winner. Like Bill Russell started the Boston Celtics tradition, Larry Miller is the tradition that Carolina talks about. Everything starts with him. Featuring over 40 vintage photos and original interviews with teammates Billy Cunningham, Charles Scott, Big-10 commissioner Jim Delany, Coach Williams, and many others, Larry Miller Time is a candid, immersive narrative for every follower of UNC and classic basketball lore, and a Brigadoon of America's good old days.

When the CIA is tipped off that one of its most wanted men is going to be in Bologna, Italy, Ferg and the First Team are tasked to apprehend him at any cost--but under no circumstances can Italian authorities be made aware. There is just one problem: no one has seen the man in over ten years, and he is only known by a decades-old code-name: T-Rex. This assassin has been involved in the murder of at least a dozen prominent western leaders, and the grapevine reveals he's been called out of a long, silent hiding for one more major strike. Ferg and the Team arrive in Italy, where they recruit the help of a beautiful French Samaritan named Jane Foucoult. Her knowledge leads them on a search that goes behind the scenes of a conference on genetics and onto a trail to a sinister Russian scientist, a leader at the forefront of biological-weapons research.Splitting the team in two, Ferg and Guns go after the ghosts they speculate could be T-Rex, and Rankin and Thera get on the scientist's tail. But what they uncover is way beyond a single assassination attempt, and they find themselves about to go head-to-head with the most lethal terrorist cells known to man.

Larry Clark and Masculinity

Larry Clark and Masculinity

Dirk Reynders

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2025
sidottu
This book explores the visual representation of masculinity in the work of Larry Clark, using this toprompt a wider conversation about the male body in visual culture and art.Infamous for his often deeply personal depictions of teenage sexuality, subcultures and drug use, filmmaker and photographer Larry Clark also paid close attention to male identity, as revealed for the first time in this book. It explores the visual representation of masculinity in Clark’s work, revealing how his images of the male body differ from traditional depictions and function not only as objects of spectacle, but as spectacular objects in themselves.Despite being hugely influential, there has been a lack of critical attention paid to Clark’s work following his celebrated photobook Tulsa (1971). Larry Clark and Masculinity is a vital contribution to research on Clark, and visual and photography studies more broadly, where it explores the photographer’s depiction of the male subject as an object of desire. It also expands research in gender and queer studies by examining masculinity as a relational, social and intercultural construct in media and society, enhancing our understanding of Clark’s narrative and iconographic practice, while simultaneously positioning his work at the centre of the cultural discourse around male subjectivity.Drawing on an array of Clark’s work, including his films ‘Kids’ and ‘Ken Park’, as well as his photographs, Masculinity and Visual Culture offers a critical re-examination of Clark’s impact on visual culture and gender representation. By positioning Clark’s work at the centre of the cultural discourse around male subjectivity, it enhances our understanding of Clark’s narrative and iconographic practice as a means of negotiating complex subjectivities.
