One good cop. One part-time hooker. Both dead. Michael Griffin is a cop. Narcotics. Tough as nails. The man you want at your back when things get bad-the man to avoid if you are bad. His friends have been murdered; one tagged a suicide, the other discarded like yesterday''s garbage. But Griffin values his friends, doesn''t sort them by race or profession, and he wants justice. True justice. If he can''t get it from within the system, he''ll take his game out of bounds, rules be damned. The Vendetta is the story of Griffin''s pursuit of renegade criminals responsible for a string of brutal murders. Cops and mobsters, wives and lovers, hookers and dealers-meet them all as Griffin plunges into the murky depths of the underworld. Street-smarts and gut instinct put him on the trail, pure determination keeps him alive when he becomes the hunted, and don''t-give-a-damn courage carries him through to the end of his quest. "Tyler has penned a mystery-thriller masterpiece. It''s got it all: drug dealers, the mob, prostitutes, strippers, bikers, murderers, traitors, and a courageous and talented team of street cops?all told with such authenticity, wit, page-turning realism, and edge-of-your seat suspense that it would make you swear the author must have worked the dark streets of this very town as an undercover agent himself. Not for the faint of heart. It''s HOT!" Robert Gelinas Author, The Mustard Seed

The ethics of tax evasion has been discussed sporadically in the theological and philosophical literature for at least 500 years. Martin Crowe wrote a doctoral thesis that reviewed much of that literature in 1944. The debate revolved around about 15 issues. Over the centuries, three main views evolved on the topic. This paper begins with a review of the literature and identifies the main issues and summarizes the three main viewpoints that have emerged over the centuries. It then reports on the results of a survey of business and economics students in Macau who were asked their opinions on the ethics of tax evasion. The survey consisted of 15 statements, representing the three viewpoints that have emerged over the centuries. Participants were asked to signify the extent of their agreement with each statement by placing a number from 1 to 7 in the space provided. One hundred eighty-seven (187) usable responses were received. The data were then analyzed to determine which of the three viewpoints was dominant among the sample population. Male scores were also compared to female scores to determine if the responses differed by gender. Males were significantly more opposed to tax evasion than females for 3 of the 15 cases. Gender differences were insignificant for the other 12 cases.

Tax evasion is a worldwide phenomenon. The problem is especially acute in transition and developing economies, since they do not have an appropriate infrastructure in place to collect taxes. Attitudes of the citizenry are an important factor in the collection of taxes. The present study reviews the attitudes of taxpayers in 33 countries on the issue of the ethics of tax evasion and considers demographic differences (gender, age, education and income level) that may impact these attitudes. The data examined was collected as part of a larger study on human beliefs and values. This study found that women are more opposed to tax evasion than men; older people are more opposed to tax evasion than younger people; less educated people are more opposed to tax evasion than better educated people; and poorer people are more opposed to tax evasion than wealthier people.

With the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Louisville mobilized to fight Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. Citizens of all races and economic classes united in the effort, both abroad and at home. Louisville''s many industries banded together as well: the Mengel Company made wood products used in the war, and its staff burned a Nazi flag in an employee-held rally; Reynolds Aluminum Company manufactured arms and other war materials; Liberty National Bank sold war bonds at special windows; and the Louisville Ford Motor Company made at least 93,389 military jeeps out of the roughly 500,000 employed in the war. Perhaps Louisville''s most significant war contribution, though, was the use of Bowman Field as a United States Army Air Corps Detachment Squadron. The pilots trained there were vital to the war effort.
