	Ross Thomas (1926-1995)
		Von 1960 bis 1975 lebte Ross Thomas in Washington, wo er 1973 seine spätere (zweite) Frau Rosalie bei Recherchen in der Library of Congress - sie arbeitete dort als Bibliothekarin - kennenlernte.
		Bei Ross Thomas treffen einen neue Wendungen eher aus dem Nichts, mit voller Absicht wird der Leser daran gehindert, den Überblick zu behalten, geschweige denn zu ahnen, was als nächstes passieren wird.
		Ingeniös wie gewohnt entwirrt Thomas die - zuvor ebenso ingeniös entwickelten -Intrigen, bugsiert seinen Helden raffiniert von Messers Schneide zu Messers Schneide und verliert dabei von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite nicht ein Wort zuviel.

	Ross Thomas
		Thomas is always there in the background, though never obtrusively so, making wry, deflating comments on his characters, exaggerating things a bit just to emphasize their silliness, poking fun at the vainglorious and pompous.
		Ross Thomas is a craftsman, a professional in the most admirable sense of the word, and he does what only the best writers can: he leaves you wanting more.
		Thomas is better at presenting characteristics than characters in "Voodoo, Ltd." The denizens of this book remain largely undeveloped while spending too much of their time assembling to discuss the plot and to signal the next twist.

	Grand master of the thinking man's thriller - The Boston Globe
		In typical Thomas fashion, the characters are cunning and duplicitous, the plot unpredictable, and the dialogue razor-sharp.
		Thomas takes you into the hotel rooms, corporate suites, and political offices of the people who know the score, the way the game is played, and exactly which levers to pull.
		Thomas accomplishes what few writers can do -- he actually makes you feel smarter and wiser (and yes, a bit more cynical) after you've finished one of his devilish entertainments.

	Amazon.com: Ah, Treachery!: Books: Ross Thomas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		What follows is a typical Thomas plot of labyrinthine complexity involving dirty doings in Central America (including the "disappearing" of Twodees' Salvadoran wife), the deadly cover-up attempt of two nasty army intelligence types, and the counterintelligence activities of a group calling itself VOMIT (Victims of Military Intelligence Treachery).
		Thomas has a dry and ironic tone in his fiction and a gift for understated outrageousness that is pretty nearly incomparable among today's writers.
		Ross Thomas' last published book is typical of his output and agood place to start reading one of America's finest, mostunderappreciated writers.

		Thomas, you (and others such as Vittorio B. and Wendy S.) have done a stellar job using the ALAC to address policy issues - the community of internet users should rise up and thank you.

		The Betsy Ross House: Take a "virtual tour" of the little house on Arch Street in Philadelphia that is a shrine to Betsy Ross and the American Flag.
		Betsy Ross's daughter, Rachel Fletcher, testified in 1870, the following: "[The committee] showed her a drawing roughly executed, of the flag as it was proposed to be made by the committee, and that she saw in it some defects in its proportions and the arrangement and shape of the stars.
		As Betsy Ross prayed in the pew next to George Washington and had already sewn buttons for him, and she was a niece of George Ross, it is not exceptional that these members of the Flag Committee formed by the Continental Congress would call upon Betsy Ross to make the flag.
