Nettie Herskovitz was wealthy and widowed. Her suitor; Harry Diamond; was a dashing young bootlegger a decade and a half her junior. At first she resisted his advances; but soon the two were married with an infant daughter. Disinterested in a domestic life; Diamond shot Nettie on Valentines Day 1923 while riding in their Hudson sedan. He tried to pin the crime on the fleeing chauffeur; but Diamond made a mistake. Though mortally wounded; Nettie lived long enough to identify her attacker to police and change her will. The sensational Diamond murder became tabloid fodder--a Roaring Twenties story of roadhouse floozies; illegal booze; orphaned children; trust funds and legal acrobatics.

However that could be because I have background rooted in engineering as compared to most architects0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A well organized and thoughtful bookBy Aniel MartinezGreat outline for what architecture could and perhaps should be during the 21st century and beyond. Very well organized. as it contains the information on the right page and diagrams/images on the left. The structure of the book makes it easier to reference. Very recommendable to designers. engineers. and manufacturing backgrounds. Its a good starting point.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Mafroe2Great read for students
