 Esther Friesner: Child of the Eagle
Esther Friesner's Child of the Eagle: A Myth of Rome begins the night before Julius Caesar's assassination.
Child of the Eagle doesn't really begin to pick up speed until the final chapters, when Brutus has resigned the various positions he held in the Roman government and travels to the provinces of Judaea and Egypt.
Obviously, this type of character would not have been a good focal point for the novel Friesner had in mind, so she was forced to alter Brutus's qualities.

 Eagle & Child Inn, 49 St Giles, Oxford
Wellington Place runs along the north side of the building, and Eagle and Child Passage runs through the pub itself on the south side.
The first record of the pub's present name is in 1684, when Richard Platt was granted a licence to hang out a sign depicting the coronet with an eagle and child that appears on the crest of the Earl of Derby.
The Eagle and Child was a modest beerhouse (rather than an inn like the Lamb and Flag across the road), and landlords in the nineteenth century usually had a second occupation, probably leaving much of the work of running the beerhouse to their wives.

 Time to Defund Feminist Pork - the Hate-Men Law -- October 2005 Phyllis Schlafly Report
VAWA encourages women to make false allegations and then petition for full child custody and a denial of fathers' rights to see their own children.
What VAWA does is to promote divorce and provide women with weapons, such as the restraining order and free legal assistance, to get sole custody of their children.
In big type, the magazine proclaimed: "Orders of protection are designed to prevent domestic violence, but they can also become part of the gamesmanship of divorce." The "game" is that mothers can assert falsehoods or trivial complaints against the father, and get a restraining order based on the presumption that men are abusers of women.

Every Tuesday morning between 1939 and 1962 The Lord of the Rings creator JRR Tolkien, Narnia chronicler CS Lewis and a gang of like-minded scribblers known as the Inklings congregated in the back room of the Eagle and Child in Oxford to chat about orcs, elves and other Middle-earth matters.
I am not sure that I toast today's ham and cheese melt or the Eagle and Child's tacky back extension, which has effectively turned the Rabbit Room into a corridor.

An EP was released as well as the album "Caveat Emptor", which was a significant step towards their older sound.
With the brand new disc, "The Eagle and Child", Mark and Chris Reynolds come full circle, returning to the catchy synthpop theme of their debut.
The mystery of "The Eagle and Child" is that all the tracks from their 1996 EP, properly named "EP", is included, in slightly reworked versions.

 REVIEWS
The new album The Eagle and Child is simply an excellent electropop-album, highly recommended for fans of bands like Depeche Mode, while delivering their own musical identity.
Their unique style and the dominant vocals of Mark Reynolds are the trade marks of this California based duo.
While their last album ''The Eagle And Child'' showed the band from their melancholic side, ''The Crypt'' convinces with a powerful and energetic side, so far unheard from Red Flag.
