1967réf. 129268Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1967. Final Draft script for the 1968 film. Based on the 1966 novel by Roderick Thorp about a brooding detective who becomes embroiled in a case that uncovers a deep vein of police corruption within the department. Frank Sinatra's fourth collaboration with director Gordon Douglas a box office success. One of the first mainstream Hollywood films to include explicit depictions of the lives of gay men including the violence suffered by the gay community due to the indifference of the police. In 1979 Thorp wrote a sequel to "The Detective" entitled "Nothing Lasts Forever" adapted in 1988 as "Die Hard." Although Sinatra had contractual rights to star in the sequel he wisely turned it down due to his age and action movie history-and Bruce Willis' career-were made. Set in New York and shot on location in New York and in California. Light blue titled wrappers noted as Final and production No. 116 on the front wrapper dated August 17 1967. Title page present dated August 17 1967 noted as Final with credits for screenwriter Abby Mann and writer Roderick Thorp. 161 leaves with last page of text numbered 160.

"A modern reworking of the Faust legend in which Germany sells its soul to the Devil. Mann's protagonist the composer Adrian Leverkuhn is the flower of German culture a brilliant isolated overreaching figure his radical new music a breakneck game played by art at the very edge of impossibility. In return for twenty-four years of unparalleled musical accomplishment he bargains away his soul - and the ability to love his fellow man. Leverkuhn's life story is a brilliant allegory of the rise of the Third Reich of Germany's renunciation of its own humanity and its embrace of ambition and nihilism. It is also Mann's most profound meditation on the German genius - both national and individual - and the terrible responsibilities of the truly great artist. The Modern Library hardcover books

1850réf. 62509Boston: Redding and Company 1850. Opposing the Extension of Slavery in the Territories with Interesting Provenance Boston edition of a speech by Horace Mann before the United States House of Representatives in which Mann declares his opposition to the extension of slavery in the territories. Horace Mann 1796-1859 was an education reformer politician and abolitionist from Massachusetts. In 1848 following the death of John Quincy Adams Mann was elected to the U.S. House to serve out the remainder of Adams's term. For more than a decade Mann had fought for education reform as secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education and he hoped his seat in Congress would give him the opportunity to bring about reform at the national level. Instead however Mann found himself preoccupied with what was perhaps the most pressing political issue of the day: slavery and its extension in the territories. This is the subject of the present speech given on the floor of the House of Representatives on February 15 1850. In it Mann states his opposition to slavery and its extension on moral and legal grounds. Embracing "the epithet 'Free-Soiler'" Mann insists that he "will engage in any honorable measure most likely to secure freedom to the new Territories" and "resist any and every measure that proposes to abandon them to slavery." Mann goes on to adopt the rallying cry "No more slave Territories no more slave States." Given the South's ultimatum of extension or secession Mann closes with what turned out to be his most forceful – and most controversial – statement: "In conclusion I have only to add that such is my solemn and abiding conviction of the character of slavery that under a full sense of my responsibility to my country and my God I deliberately say better disunion - better a civil or a servile war - better any thing that God in his providence shall send than an extension of the bounds of slavery." Much to Mann's disappointment later that year saw the passage of the Compromise of 1850 which not only failed to prohibit slavery's extension in the territories but worse still Mann thought included the Fugitive Slave Act which required the return of escaped slaves to their owners while denying them the rights of habeas corpus and a trial by jury. Mann's outspoken opposition to the act as well as his criticism of fellow Whig Daniel Webster who helped broker the compromise cost Mann the party's nomination for his congressional seat in 1850. However in a turn of events that in retrospect made his comments from the previous February about being a "Free-Soiler" seem prophetic Mann managed to secure the Free Soil nomination before going on to win reelection by a landslide. This copy bears the bookplate of Walter L. Pforzheimer 1914-2003 a lawyer intelligence officer and book collector. Pforzheimer was one of the founders of the Central Intelligence Agency having served as an Army Air Force intelligence officer and worked on a number of operations for the Office of Strategic Services - the forerunner to the C.I.A. - during World War II. Among these was an operation called the "Yale Library Project" a mission for which Pforzheimer as a member of the Yale Library Associates used his role as a cover to launder money for the O.S.S. In 1956 Pforzheimer founded the C.I.A.'s Historical Intelligence Collection and went on to serve as the collection's first curator. The rear wrapper of this Boston edition notes other speeches on slavery published by Redding and Company including by Henry Clay John C. Calhoun and William Seward. Another edition of Mann's speech appeared the same year in Washington D.C. and the speech was reprinted the following year as part of a collection of Mann's speeches on the subject.
