Liberace and Edward R. Murrow

Image
Tacit defense of gay marriage, notice how very deftly Liberace chooses his words: Edward R. Murrow: Have you given much thought to getting married and eventually settling down? Liberace: Well, actually I have. Ed. I've given a lot of thought to marriage, but I don't believe in getting married just for the sake of getting married. I want to someday find the perfect mate and settle down to what I hope will be a marriage that will be blessed by faith and will be a lasting union. In fact, I was reading about lovely young Princess Margaret, and she's looking for her dream man, too. I hope she finds him some day. Liberace on Edward R. Murrow's television show Person to Person January 6, 1956 Later in the interview Liberace makes some flirty comments about the young, pretty, and single Princess Margaret, implying that he might want to marry her.

It includes essential content in the form of copious endnotes: viz., 388 numbered notes placed at the end of the novel.  This index allows the reader to locate the page number where each of the book's endnote numbers appears in superscript in the main body of the novel.  This is particularly useful to those who listen to the  Hatchett Audio  audiobook, narrated by Sean Pratt, ( ISBN 9781611133868 ) because the endnotes themselves are not included. Instead, the voiced endnote number is inserted where it appears in the novel, and the reader must then consult the printed copy of the book for the endnote content.  It thus becomes useful to be able to see the endnote in context on the corresponding page; e.g.:  375: 143, 144  indicates that  endnote numbers 143 and 144 ...
