This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: โ€œSay, could youโ€”โ€ Kathryn said, as she appeared from behind the screen, struggling with the zipper behind her back. โ€œSure,โ€ Jenny said, springing from the chair a little too eagerly. โ€œThank you,โ€ Kathryn said with a frustrated exhale as she placed a hand on her chest to hold up the dress. โ€œI swear, if a man designs a dress, you can bet heโ€™ll put the zipper in the most inconvenient place just so he can help you out of it later.โ€ โ€œThe swine,โ€ Jenny said in mock indignation as she tried not to notice the lack of undergarments on the delicate valley of bare skin sheโ€™d just uncovered.

This is a book quote graphic for In the Shadow of the Past (Shadow series Book 1) by J.E. Leak. The text reads: The gentle smile in Jennyโ€™s eyes turned serious, and Kathryn knew it was in response to her hungry stare. She couldnโ€™t help it. What she wanted to do was beating what she should do into submission. Jennyโ€™s hand in hers only made her want more of her. The touch was purposeful this time, not one of comfort or contrivance. It was a seal of friendship, one that could never be, but Kathryn wanted it. And more. Just for tonight. Their last night.

Today in Labor History March 18, 1918: U.S. authorities arrested Mexican anarchist Ricardo Flores Magรณn under the Espionage Act. They charged him with hindering the American war effort and imprisoned him at Leavenworth, where he died under highly suspicious circumstances. The authorities claimed he died of a "heart attack," but Chicano inmates rioted after his death and killed the prison guard who they believed executed him. Magon published the periodical โ€œRegeneracionโ€ with his brother Jesus, and with Licenciado Antonio Horcasitas. The Magonostas later led a revolution in Baja California during the Mexican Revolution. Many American members of the IWW participated. During the uprising, they conquered and held Tijuana for several days. Lowell Blaisdell writes about it in his now hard to find book, โ€œThe Desert Revolution,โ€ (1962). Dos Passos references in his โ€œUSA Trilogy.โ€
