Koresh, while injured and dying, held his well-thumbed copy of the Bible, open to the Book of Revelation. He shared its meaning with Schneider, relating the events of the day to the fifth seal of Revelation, a passage he knew by heart.

Eric O'Neill shared a firsthand account of the investigation into Robert Hansen, the FBI agent turned Russian spy, in his book 'Gray Day: My Undercover Mission to Expose America's First Cyber Spy.'
O'Neill shares a first-hand account of this investigation in his book, Gray Day, my undercover mission to expose America's first cyber spy.
It's a story so thrilling that it made its way onto the big screen in the Hollywood movie Breach starring Ryan Philippe as young FBI agent Eric O'Neill.
I wanted to tell the story of a great FBI achievement I wanted to tell the story of the FBI learning about a spy and putting together an excellent operation to catch that spy in days even though it took 22 years to even learn about Hanson we were able to catch him in under three months that is extraordinary but I wanted to do more this wasn't just a memoir of how I caught Hanson Gray Day tells the story of the evolution of espionage using Hanson as the fulcrum of this great change in how espionage is conducted and I think that story was important because Hanson was not only one of the most damaging spies in US history but our first cyber spy he penetrated computer systems to steal everything he stole and dropped to the Russians and now the majority of espionage is conducted through cyber attacks
I was discussing this with my brother who was a Hollywood screenwriter at the time you know David O'Neill and still is and he told me you got to make a movie about this and this was the first time I thought maybe maybe someone would want to make a movie about it and it turns out that they really did so suddenly with Hanson's arrest this very intense period of your life is all over and I presume you might be able to open up a little bit about it you
I tried I tried to visit him I tried everything I could I just couldn't get in there he was at super max prison in Florence Colorado it is one of the most difficult places in the United States to to get into I tried writing the Bureau of Prisons the FBI and I just I was confounded and I wish I'd tried harder when I started writing great day I wanted the last chapter to be a conversation with Hanson and once again I had the same difficulties in getting in to speak to him I always felt like I needed to speak to him because I've never felt that I've had closure from the case I later found that I was suffering some PTSD from the case I thought that maybe talking to him would help I also really wanted to ask him a few questions the last drop that Hanson made to the Russians included my information as someone the Russians should have recruited and I don't know to this day whether he was doing that to flatter me had I really won him over did he believe that I could be a spy at his caliber that I could take over where he was about to walk away or and probably more likely did he think that he could use me as a puppet in the FBI that he could use me as his spy to continue to have access to intelligence and continue to spy from the outside that's the question I really wanted to ask him the other of course was why did you do it and then of course he passed away and I was upset he was a person who even though he was one of the most damaging spies and had not really a great person had a huge influence on my life and now I would never have that opportunity to have that final conversation with him and close the book on this case that changed my life in so many ways

It examines the 1948 abduction of Sally Horner, which inspired Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita, exploring the ethical responsibilities of artists in relation to real-life trauma.
She's the author of The Real Lolita.
Mostly I pursued this project because when I learned that Lolita had a direct reference to the kidnapping of Sally Horner, I wanted to know why that story had not been fully told.
So I set out to do that and when I did that, I realized that what The Real Lolita ended up being about was what responsibility do artists have to real-life trauma and pain?

This book details the long-standing rivalry between Boeing and Airbus, covering the evolution of both companies and their strategies in the global aviation market. It also explores pivotal moments and figures that shaped this competition, such as John Leahy's impact on Airbus.
In my book Air Wars I wrote that I don't buy into the thesis that Boeing made a conscious decision to sacrifice safety for shareholder value, that just does nobody any good but I think it is fair to say that the cost cutting mentality in order to increase profits in order to benefit shareholder value meant that some of research and development and protocols that went into safety had cost cutting as well but I do not agree that there was a conscious decision to sacrifice safety for profits.
The podcast recommended this book,describing it as covering the global competition between Airbus and Boeing and how this competition might have contributed to Boeing's safety issues.
We recommend the book Flying Blind by Peter Robinson and reporting on Boeing by Dominic Gates in The Seattle Times.

Edgar Smith had been convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a 15-year-old girl, Victoria Zielinski, in 1957.
So he was propped up, Edgar Smith, as this sort of literary celebrity by influential people and that turned out to be a catastrophic mistake because only a few years would he live close to killing another woman and would spend the rest of his life in prison.
Scoundrel is less about who did it. I make it very clear that Edgar Smith killed Vicky Zielinski and was responsible for several notorious crimes. It's much more about how did this happen and how were people who should have known better duped into thinking that he was anything but a criminal and controlling his narrative.
