A preview of new book on Senator No

Thanks to former Charlotte lawyer D.G. Martin of Chapel Hill and host of UNC-TV's weekly "NC Bookwatch" program, who found this link on the web that's a 10-page introduction to Bill Link's forthcoming book "Righteous Warrior: Jesse Helms and the Rise of Modern Conservatism."
In Martin's weekly column, he writes, "...Link gives a glimpse of Helms' human qualities that sometimes won the admiration even of opponents. Link tells the story of how former senator and star basketball player, Bill Bradley, felt after he shot baskets with Helms' granddaughter, at Helms' request. Watching a "beaming" Helms on the sidelines, Bradley said it was a lesson for him. Link writes that Bradley "found it difficult to regard Helms as 'the personification of evil.' Rather, he saw him as a grandfather, a person, something other than a 'cardboard cutout.'"
Martin's "Bookwatch" program airs on Sundays at 5 p.m.

I am so happy to get some knight gold and the knight noah is given by my close friend who tells me that the knight online gold is the basis to enter into the game. Therefore, I should knight online noah with the spare money and I gain some cheap knight gold from other players.
