Two BoysDivided by Fortune––United by TragedyA True Story of the Pursuit of Justice

Robert Zausner

They couldn’t have been more differ-ent—one a teenager from affluent sub-urbia, the other a little kid from thepoor part of the city. But John “Tucker”Mahoney and Shareif Hall would cometo share a common experience as ran-dom, unsuspecting victims of terribletragedies. Tucker would be felled by atiny piece of metal, a BB fired from thepowerful, new-generation air rifle hegot for his 16th birthday. Shareif, fouryears old, would be riding a transit system escalator on the day before Thanksgiving,when his brand new Fila shoe would get caught in the contraption’s giant metal teeth.

Tucker and Shareif would also share one other thing. The tragedies that befell themwere not merely bad luck but the result of wrongful, egregious conduct.

Partners in the same Philadelphia law firm would represent the families and battle forthem in their quest for justice against well-known corporate entities. Robert Zausner’sTwo Boys tells their harrowing story.

ROBERT ZAUSNER, a former journalist with The Philadelphia Inquirer, has won awardsfor feature writing and investigative reporting. The author lives in Moorestown, New Jersey, with his wife, Maureen, and daughters, Eve and Jackie.

“Two Boys is a wonderful book––and an impor-tant one––about tragedy, about injustice, andhow the legal system, instead of sinking intoan endless battle of lawyer egos, sometimesdoes work the way it should. Robert Zausner'swriting is clear and incisive. The book readslike a Grisham legal thriller, but with one major difference. Every word of it is true.”

Blood and HonorInside the Scarfo Mob—The Mafia’s Most Violent FamilyThe Staff of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News

Nick Caramandi tells this rivetingmob tale—first to the feds, bringingdown Philadelphia’s notoriousScarfo organization, then, in bluntand bloody detail, to journalist-author George Anastasia. As madeguy turned informant, Caramandi was on the inside throughout NickyScarfo’s vicious reign, built on extortion, political corruption, andmurder. Wherever money and

power were to be had, Caramandi, as Scarfo’s go-between and enforcer, was there to get it for him. Any romantic notions of a “code of honor” fall away on reading this first-hand account of violence unleashed.

Caramandi’s testimony resulted in more than fifty convictions and launched wide-ranging investigations into the broader Mafia underworld. To this day a prime target for hit men, he manages to survive only under the government’s Federal WitnessProtection Program, while Scarfo and many of his associates spend the rest of their yearsbehind bars.

GEORGE ANASTASIA is also the author of Mobfiles and Mobfather.

Mickey VernonThe Gentleman First BasemanRich Westcott

During a major league career that touched on four decades, Mickey Vernon ranked asone of the elite players in baseball—a significant distinction in such a notable era.

Having spent most of his playing career with the Washington Senators, Vernon wasregarded as one of the finest players in the team’s history. And he was enormously popu-lar with local fans, not the least of whom was President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who read-ily admitted that Mickey was his favorite player.

Westcott tells the compelling story ofthe life and career of a genuine baseballhero. Written with a keen sense of base-ball history, this book is based onlengthy interviews with Vernon, as wellas sessions with his family, friends, and

former teammates and opponents. The stories, insights, and coverage of Vernon's numer-ous accomplishments provide a poignant look at a man who ranks among the classiestever to play the game.

RICH WESTCOTT, a newspaper and magazine writer and editor for more than 40years, is the author of many other books, including The Fightin’ Phils. In the 1960s, Westcott was a sportswriter with the Delaware County Daily Times when he first metand wrote about Mickey Vernon.

The Fightin’ PhilsOddities, Insights, and Untold Stories

Foreword by Harry Kalas, National Baseball Hall of Fame sportscasterRich Westcott

The Fightin’ Phils is certainly a book for all loyal Phillies fans who take pride in theirknowledge of home team lore. But it is especially intended for the many fans in searchof the less well-known stories that add color and fascination to one of the greatest clubsin American sports history.

Who would have guessed, for example, that, in 1946, a female scoutwas working full-time for the Phillies— a first in baseball. Falling under thecategory of “the ones that got away”are accounts of how the front office

missed signing Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Al Kaline, and Carl Yastrzemski and willmake for some painful reading. Stories of the Phils pitcher who later joined the CIA, theleft-handed catcher, and the game that lasted only 51 minutes are just a few of the book’srichly entertaining and often surprising oddities. Included, too, are interviews with suchplayers as Steve Carlton, Jimmy Rollins, Robin Roberts, and Mike Schmidt, who providelittle-known details about their streaks and feats.

If you think you know all there is to know about the Phillies, this book will be a reve-lation. The Fightin’ Phils is essential reading for fans who want “the rest of the story.”

RICH WESTCOTT is considered the foremost authority on Phillies history. He has beena writer and editor for more than 40 years and is the author of 19 sports books, includ-ing Mickey Vernon: The Gentleman First Baseman.

The Possible CityExercises in Dreaming PhiladelphiaNathaniel Popkin

“Philadelphia without revolution, industry, or influence,” says author Nathaniel Pop-kin, “lives on by invention.” The Possible City emerges from our dreams. Here, in theloving hand of the city planner-turned-writer, is the architecture of Philadel-phia’s present resurgence. Here are thecity’s beguiling founding ideals, thephysical ruins of its might, and thesearch, amidst row house streets, forelevation, for an open city that de-lights, inspires, and rewards.

In the search for openness, Popkinencounters Philadelphia’s defensivepride, its instinct to protect, its fear offurther loss. As a response, he posits a new framework for cities everywhere. No longeris it enough for a city merely to function. To elevate civilization, instead a city must per-form––it must build, create, invent.

Intrinsic to this effort are artists, those whose work transforms—and is transformedby—the cityscape all around. That act of transformation, a kind of performance, is tellingof the city’s power. Popkin says it’s precisely what cities have to do.

NATHANIEL POPKIN has degrees in urban studies and city planning from the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania and has been writing about cities for 20 years. He lives inPhiladelphia with his wife, Rona Buchalter, and two children.

Millennium PhiladelphiaBy the staff of The Philadelphia Inquirer

At last, a reprise of the highly popular Millennium Philadelphia in a deluxe edition, withthe striking black–and–white photographs of city life and history that made it a “familyalbum of the Philadelphia century.” Picking up where the original left off, a chapter up-date, “The New Millennium,” features a full–color pictorial of the city’s continuedchange into the 21st century.

To outsiders, Philadelphia is defined by its celebrities: the Liberty Bell, IndependenceHall, Grace Kelly, Bill Cosby, Rocky, Ben Franklin, cheesesteaks. But Philadelphians knowit as a city of neighborhoods, of rowhouses spilling out people on summer evenings. It isa city of strong ethnic flavors, though the ethnic origins keep changing.

Many dramatic changes have shaped the city in the last 100 years or so: in its skyline,its waterfront, its people, and its industries. But it retains its essential character in scenesso familiar they transcend time, maintaining a reassuring continuity between past andpresent.

Though the city’s power of reinvention may be part of its genius, Philadelphia man-ages to renew itself while holding on firmly to tradition: The Mummers strut on, and carscontinue to be parked in the middle of South Broad Street. In Philadelphia, nobody wantstoo much change.

Hawk MountainForeword by Deborah EdgePhotography by Kevin WatsonText by Jim Wright

Beginning in the 1870s, Hawk Mountain, in rural eastern Pennsylvania, was aprime killing ground for thousands of raptors, as hunters targeted them ontheir southward migration each fall.

Today, Hawk Mountain is known worldwide as a leader in raptor researchand education, attracting thousands of observers annually. To celebrate its 75th

anniversary, Kevin Watson and Jim Wright have created a one-of-kind coffee table bookthat includes breath-taking images, archival photos, and an in-depth look at the sanctuarynot only during the fall migration but also year-round.

Here, finally, is a book that does justice to the magnificence of Hawk Mountain and itsessential mission.

The Devil and Dr. BarnesPortrait of an American Art CollectorHoward Greenfeld

Albert Coombs Barnes, one of the most eccentric, controversial figures of the early 20th-century art world, springs vividly from Howard Greenfeld’s superb biography.

The Devil and Dr. Barnes traces thenear-mythical journey of a man whowas born into poverty, amassed afortune through promoting a popu-lar medicine, and acquired the pre-mier private collection of such mas-ters as Renoir, Matisse, Cézanne,and Picasso.

Barnes’s own mordant words an-imate the narrative throughout, as doaccounts of his associations with no-

tables of the era—Gertrude and Leo Stein, Bertrand Russell, and John Dewey amongthem—many of whom he alienated with his appetite for passionate, public feuds. AlbertBarnes emerges as a complex, flawed man, who—blessed with an astute eye for great-ness—has left us an incomparable treasure, gathered in one place and unforgettable to allwho have seen it.

HOWARD GREENFELD’s writings include biographies of Puccini, Caruso, and BenShahn, as well as introductions to the works of Picasso and Chagall.

And they wouldn’t eat so well: we can thank theGolden State for such goodies as Popsicles, McDonald’s hamburgers, canned tuna fish,and even fortune cookies. And they would probably be working and learning a littlemore slowly if Silicon Valley, the birthplace of the personal computer, didn’t exist.

And most of the developments havetaken place only since the mid-19th century—another golden achievement for theGolden State.

In the midst of this terror, an African American woman, Lillie BelleAllen, a 27-year-old preacher’s daughter, was fatally wounded as she entered a whiteneighborhood.

Criminal charges for her death would not be brought until 32 years later. More shock-ingly, these charges would be brought against an innocent man—Charlie Robertson, thepopular mayor of York.

In Murder Is the Charge, William C. Costopoulos, Robertson’s lawyer, gives an hon-est, candid, and complete telling of this dramatic trial: the lies, the public’s need forvengeance, and Charlie Robertson’s true crime.

WILLIAM C. COSTOPOULOS is the author of four books, including Principal Suspect,and is known for high-profile criminal defense cases. He lives with his family in CentralPennsylvania. BRAD BUMSTED is an award-winning, statewide political reporter inPennsylvania for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
