An Anniversary Tribute to Ross Macdonald by J. Kingston Pierce

"Half a century ago this month, a struggling Southern California writer named Kenneth Millar published his first novel about a divorced former cop-turned-private eye, Lew Archer."
The Bell
A Tribute to Actor Peter Ustinov

"Most of the time, my work here at ReadersRoom.com is a joy and a pleasure. The one exception is this feature, because every time I need to sit down and write The Bell, it means that someone in our community has passed away. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often but it happened this week -- just Sunday, as a matter of fact -- when actor/author Peter Ustinov died of heart failure, at the age of 82, at his home in Genolier, Switzerland."
