Lavender says that Ralston was blinded by his inordinate desires and that he frequently overdrew funds for his own use; on at least one occasion, he engineered in the midnight hours an illegal gold transfer between the Bank and the United States Mint to present to government auditors a favorable picture of solvency.
David Lavender is one of America's most widely-read popularizers of history, a talent little appreciated and generally resented by historians.
Lavender does not try to prove bizarre theses or offer new, scholarship-shaking interpretations; rather, he tells a story, and that, after all, is what the craft of history is all about.

I have a beautiful lavender bush which has spread over the edge of the patio, just as I wanted, but it has gone a bit mad, it does need reducing somewhat, but it seems very woody underneath.
Lavender will not re-shoot from old wood so cutting back too hard will harm the plant, so cut back unwanted woody stems down to the ground but just trim other stems leaving a few centimeters of young wood.

The politicians behind the Lavender Scare asserted that homosexuals were susceptible to flmail by enemy agents and so could be coerced into revealing government secrets.
But we should not forget that the Lavender Scare was a reaction to an earlier time of openness and visibility for the gay community.
I hope the Lavender Scare is read as a cautionary tale, one that documents the extreme measures the federal government has taken in the not-too-distant past against innocent citizens who were perceived, without any evidence, to pose a threat to national security.

Lavender said footnoting the material does not allow an author to present the words as his own--a point Lavender makes when he meets with students.
Lavender, who says he has never met Ambrose, was not pleased to learn about the similarities between parts of Great Persuader and Nothing Like It, especially after the earlier reports about problems with other Ambrose books.
