Even within some diaries there are such devices. An apparently impenetrable table of numbers and country names in the back of one of Godfrey Williams’ early diaries turned out to be a catalogue of his stamp collection. One of Finkel’s other acquisitions is the wartime diary of a schoolgirl that was split between teenage reminiscences in English, and lengthy passages in a substitution code. A linguist by trade, Finkel saw it as a point of honour to break the code, and found that “those sections were about her mother being a part-time prostitute and having clients come to the house. It’s heartbreaking … In some respect, the diary provides a rescue corner for the human spirit.” Says Brown: “Re-reading an old diary is a good way to remember that if you’re having a hard time, you’ve had hard times before and got through them.”

Arson Suspected After East St. Louis “Skinhead Nazi Strip Club” Burnt Down Last Night
Wed., Dec. 23 2009 @ 11:30AM
The weird saga of the City Nights club in East Boogie just got a little weirder. And a lot hotter. Because it burned down last night. That’s why we say, “hotter.”
Only a few months after a black man was murdered in this apparently all-white dive, the building went down in flames at 12:20 a.m. Wednesday, and now police are suspecting arson.
Everybody’s jumped on this one, from the TV networks (KMOV, KTVI and KSDK) to the Post-Dispatch and the Belleville News Democrat. Here’s a little context from Keegan Hamilton’s Dec. 7 Daily RFT post on City Nights:
Of all the places to open a nightclub that advertises “Hot Girls, Cold Beer” and [reportedly] only allows white people to enter, East St. Louis, Illinois has to be at the bottom of the list of likely locations.

Crimestoppers in Clayton is helping with a big reward. They are offering $15,000 for information leading to an arrest. Frank Dover died on Christmas Day – after he was shot outside a Washington Park Strip Club.
Frank’s Fiancee Erin Ramsher says, “No matter where something happens, nobody deserves that. You know since it happened there they shouldn’t be like it doesn’t matter — it absolutely matters.”
One year later after his murder there is little hope of a break in the case. That’s why Ramshur and her family put together a $15,000 dollar reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of Dover’s killer. He went out with friends last December but headed out on his own and was all alone when he was killed in the parking lot of a Washington Park strip club.

The only other ordinance that the council approved sets new vehicle impoundment administrative fees and establishes a grievance process for car and truck owners who believe they should not pay the charges.
The vote was 6-1, with 2nd Ward Alderman Mick McCahill voting “no.”
The new fees required for the owner to recover his or her vehicle are: Level 1, $500; Level 2, $200; and Level 3, $100. The fees are separate from a private company’s tow and storage charges.
Level 1 fees are applied to vehicles that police seize in cases of drugs or drug paraphernalia offenses; weapons; driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other intoxicating compounds; soliciting a prostitute, prostitution or pandering; driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, unless it was a result of vehicle emission regulations; fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer; leaving the scene of a personal injury or property damage accident; violation of an order of protection; and felonies.

WASHINGTON PARK, IL (KTVI-FOX2now.com) – A picture he’s posed for many times before. Former mobster Henry Hill was arrested this week in the Metro East. The one time wise guy and inspiration for the movie “Goodfellas” is definitely older, but is he any wiser? “I was drunk as a skunk.” Henry Hill, 66, is still battling demons like alcohol abuse that led to his arrest here this week. He’s in town selling paintings and making personal appearances at a strip club. He points to a painting, “That’s a rat. I’m a rat. That’s me. It’s a self-portait.”
Hill is laughing about something he once feared would get him killed – going from mobster, to mob-informant, “There was a time in my life I would have put a gun in my mouth before I ever thought I would ever inform on anybody.”

Henry Hill, 66, who was played by Ray Liotta in the movie, is promoting his artwork — oil paintings of rats, handguns and the New York City skyline, sometimes all together — at two Illinois strip clubs this week.
…
In June, Hill was labeled a “pathetic, racist drunk” by the New York Post’s Page Six after allegedly showing up drunk on the set of the movie “The Sinatra Club” and using a racial epithet. Hill’s friend and travel companion Lisa Caserta said Tuesday that Hill was simply repeating part of the script.To support himself and help pay his 20-year-old son’s college tuition, Hill now sells his artwork and personal items like shirts, cuff links and ties he’s worn. He’ll travel anywhere to sell his art — this week to strip clubs in downstate Washington Park and Springfield and next month to a Las Vegas public library.

Henry Hill, a 66-year-old Californian, was hauled away in handcuffs on Sunday after an altercation in a Drury Inn lobby in Illinois.
He was in the St Louis area for a showing of his artwork and to sign autographs at a nearby Larry Flynt strip club.
Hill is free on bond on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
He told The Associated Press on Tuesday he does not remember much about the weekend flare-up.
“Ever drink too much? Well, that’s what happened,” he said by telephone from his room at a different Fairview Heights hotel. “I was in the hotel lobby and I guess I caused a little commotion.”
He said the details of his arrest remain foggy.
“I don’t remember too much. It’s coming back a little bit, but I drank just one too many,” he said. “I woke up a few hours later in a jail cell.”

ST. LOUIS—A gangster-turned-FBI informant whose exploits were the basis of the 1990 Martin Scorsese mob film “Goodfellas” said Tuesday his struggles with alcohol again are to blame for his weekend arrest after a drunken disturbance at a hotel.
Police hauled 66-year-old Henry Hill of Topanga, Calif., away in handcuffs Sunday after the dustup in a Drury Inn lobby in Fairview Heights, Ill., while he was in the St. Louis area for a three-day showing of his artwork and to sign autographs at a nearby Larry Flynt strip club.
Free on bond on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, Hill told The Associated Press on Tuesday he doesn’t remember much about the weekend flare-up at the Drury.

To Yates, the charging of Jetton last week with felony assault against a Sikeston woman was a classic example of the corrupting influence of power. He thought Jetton, an ex-Marine from Marble Hill, “got away from his original principles” as he spent more time with the state’s powerbrokers at dinners and on trips in his tumultuous and highly controversial reign as speaker.
Yates still recalls the first time he began to question GOP leadership. In 2005, Sen. Matt Bartle, a Lee’s Summit Republican, proposed a bill to crack down on the adult entertainment industry. But the measure ran aground after being sent to an unfriendly committee.
Turns out that a timely $35,000 political contribution from the strip clubs to a fundraising committee with ties to a top Jetton adviser was suspected as being a key factor in the bill’s fate.

I’ve seen this balance of intelligence and equipoise, this candor and focus and can-do embrace of opportunity, in the likes of Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep. Farmiga cites her admiration of 1970s Faye Dunaway and Streep, but she’s downright lavish in her praise of Dianne Wiest, “every inch of whose exquisite face had a capacity to convey emotion in a way that moved me so.” Up in the Air is Farmiga’s first major role in a big movie, but she’s been on the radar in and out of Hollywood for a while, notably as a drug-addicted young mother in the small vérité drama Down to the Bone (for which she won a Spirit Award), and as a doctor in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed. She played a fraying young mother in the horror-comedy Joshua, and as an existentially minded Russian hooker (“Ah, the prostitute philosopher, one of my favorite roles!”) she brought much-needed levity to the late Anthony Minghella’s Breaking and Entering.
