  Wikinfo | Bloomsbury, London
Bloomsbury is an area of central London, in the Borough of Camden, named after early landowner William de Blemund who acquired the land in 1201.
Bloomsbury is served by numerous tube stations: Euston, Euston Square, Goodge Street, Warren Street, Tottenham Court Road, Russell Square and King's Cross St. Pancras.
The area gives its name to the Bloomsbury Group of artists of the early 1900s, and to the lesser-known Bloomsbury Gang of Whigs formed in 1765 by John Russell, 4th Duke of Bedford.

 Taking the Blame
The point was, as German police and intelligence rather shamefacedly admitted, that a gang of suspected terrorists had been rumbled in Germany in the months before the bombing.
The aim of the gang was to bomb an American airliner in revenge for the shooting down by an American warship of an Iranian civil airliner in the Gulf earlier in the year.
He gave them a long statement in which he alleged that the drugs operation supervised by the DEA had been infiltrated by the terrorist gang who were out to bomb an airliner, and that the existing baggage-switch operation in Frankfurt could well have been used to plant the fatal bomb on Pan-Am 103.

 chicklit: book bundle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The most difficult part of a modern history is deciding what to omit, and I am not speaking only of the partial truth that each writer necessarily extracts from the exercise of her mind upon her material.
When Bloomsbury fanatics gather on the Charleston lawn each summer or pore over photographs of Carrington and Lytton or dip into their retirement funds to buy an envelope that once passed under the point of Duncan's pen they are not longing for a life of leisure supported by servants and a vast labouring middle class.
Comfort didn't rank high in Bloomsbury homes (though beauty did), but there would be good French cooking, and wine at most meals (often imported in the cask and bottled at home), homemade bread and jams (Virginia was good at making both).

 Hearts of Darkness
The criminal, Wilson Velez, was born in Panama, came to Corona, Queens, as a child, and founded the far-flung Sacred Incan Royals youth gang.
Thus Velez has a reason to grant interviews -- to show that he is repentant and should not be returned to isolation, as a law-and-order congressman is demanding.
As the interviews begin, in a maximum-security prison near Pittsburgh, it becomes clear that the gang lord, although in shackles, controls the relationship.

The Bloomsbury Estate came into the Russell family’s ownership in 1669 when William, son of the 5th Earl of Bedford, married a young widow, Lady Rachel Vaughan, one of the daughters of the 4th Earl of Southampton.
Once again, the head of the Russell family was involved in state affairs and Bedford House (as Southampton House had been re-named) became the headquarters of the political group known as the ‘Bloomsbury Gang’.
Bedford House in Bloomsbury held no attraction for him; he preferred to live in the smarter West End and, besides, the area was ripe for development.

 JOYCE CAROL OATES: FOXFIRE: CONFESSIONS OF A GIRL GANG   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The place is a blue-collar town in upstate New York, where five high school girls are joined in a gang dedicated to pride, power, and vengeance on a world they never made—a world that seems made to denigrate and destroy them.
Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang is very much a girls' story, and, as such, defines itself in sometimes playful but more often uneasy opposition to a male- and adult-dominated world.
Foxfire: Confessions of a Girl Gang, like my earlier novels Marya: A Life, You Must Remember This, and Because It Is Bitter, And Because It Is My Heart, had its emotional genesis in powerful memories of a girlhood in upstate New York.

 Review - Pack Up The Moon by Richard Teleky
I like this kind of attentiveness, but when Karl begins aligning himself with the Bloomsbury gang, I’m afraid Teleky has gone too far.
To be equally obscure, if I were Wyndham Lewis and I were reviewing Pack Up the Moon, I would have torn the book assunder and tossed its pages to the fire long before the Bloomsburys could raise their ugly heads.
There certainly is something enticing about the character Teleky has designed to carry us through the book.

His haughty manner, his somewhat insulting language, and his attitude with regard to the regency bill in [[1765]] offended [[George III of the United KingdomGeorge III]], who sought in vain to supplant him, and after this failure was obliged to make humiliating concessions to the ministry.
In July 1765, however, he was able to dispense with the services of Bedford and his colleagues, and the duke became the leader of a political party, distinguished for rapacity, and known as the “ Bedford party,” or the “ Bloomsbury gang.”
Most recently Andy suffered the embarrassment of a musical flop with the cover version of ''[[If I Had a Hammer]]''.
