Presumed first thus. Bookplate. 4 inches by 5 inches. Bookplate with an female image of justice with the scales of justice and a shelf of books. This may have become separated from one of Justice Frankfurter's books or may not have been affixed. A bookplate, also known as ex-libris, is usually a label pasted into a book to indicate its owner. Bookplates typically bear a name, motto, device, coat-of-arms, crest, badge, or any motif that relates to the owner of the book. Bookplates are important evidence for the provenance of books. The earliest known marks of ownership of books date from the reign of Amenophis III in Egypt (1391 1353 BCE). In their modern form, they evolved from simple inscriptions in books which were common in the Middle Ages, when various other forms of "librarianship" became widespread. The earliest known examples of printed bookplates are German, and date from the 15th century. Bookplates are very often of high interest, either as decorative fashion or as relics of well-known people. More than 50 societies of ex-libris collectors exist, grouped into an International Federation of Ex-libris Societies (FISAE) which organizes worldwide congresses every two years. More

Gingrich was a major leader in the Republican victory in the 1994 congressional election. In 1995, Time named him "Man of the Year" for "his role in ending the four-decades-long Democratic majority in the House". While he was House speaker, the House enacted welfare reform, passed a capital gains tax cut in 1997, and in 1998 passed the first balanced budget since 1969. The poor showing by Republicans in the 1998 Congressional election and pressure from Republican colleagues caused Gingrich's resignation from the speakership on November 6, 1998 and then the House on January 3, 1999. Since leaving the House, Gingrich has founded and chaired several policy think tanks, including American Solutions for Winning the Future and the Center for Health Transformation. He has written or co-authored 27 books. More

Index, DJ somewhat soiled and stained and some edge tears and wear. Harry Lewis Golden (May 6, 1902 – October 2, 1981) was an American writer and newspaper publisher. In 1941, he moved to Charlotte, where, as a reporter for the Charlotte Labor Journal and The Charlotte Observer, he wrote about and spoke out against racial segregation and the Jim Crow laws of the time. From 1942 to 1968, Golden published The Carolina Israelite as a forum, not just for his political views but also observations and reminiscences of his boyhood in New York's Lower East Side. He traveled widely: in 1960 to speak to Jews in West Germany and again to cover the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann in Israel for Life. He is referenced in the lyrics to Phil Ochs' song, "Love Me, I'm a Liberal": "You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden." His satirical "The Vertical Negro Plan," involved removing the chairs from any to-be-integrated building, since Southern whites did not mind standing with blacks such as at bank tellers' windows, only sitting with them. Golden reportedly convinced a southern department store manager to put an "Out of Order" sign by the water fountain marked White; within three weeks all were drinking from the Colored-designated drinking fountain. Calvin Trillin devised the Harry Golden Rule, which states that "in present-day America it's very difficult, when commenting on events of the day, to invent something so bizarre that it might not actually come to pass while your piece is still on the presses."
