01) An underwear maker, his boy models and the man who tried to stop him
“The story of how a Washington state company used boys in underwear to draw customers and the man with a secret past who tried to stop them.”
I remember this conflict. It’s because of the big stink a few people were making, that many of us became aware of Tiger underwear.
There were some beautiful pictures of beautiful boys on the website…nothing to get one’s panties in a twist, over.

01) Allan J Lichtman, “The Case For Impeachment”
” http://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780062696823
One of the most searched phrases on the Internet today is “Impeach Trump.” How realistic is this possibility? Lichtman, Distinguished Professor of History at American University, believes that Trump’s impeachment isn’t a matter of if but when, and his new book details how it might work. First, he looks at President Trump’s particular vulnerabilities, including his dealings with Russia, his conflicts of interest at home and abroad, and numerous civil suits surrounding his actions. Lichtman puts these into historical context with detailed presentations of previous presidential impeachments, including Congress’s 1868 action against President Andrew Johnson, debates about sanctioning Nixon, and the hearings into President Clinton’s behavior.
