	Ransom Room - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ransom Room (El Cuarto del Rescate) is a small room located in Cajamarca, Peru.
		Atahualpa realized the Spaniards' greed and offered Pizarro to buy his liberty by filling the room where he was kept prisoner with gold and the two following rooms with silver, up to the level of the reach of his arm.
		Atahualpa agreed to be baptized under Christian faith and, in the end, was strangled instead of being burned.

	The Ransom Murder Trial of Woodford County, Illinois
		Ransom gave himself up immediately, and the next day was taken to Peoria, where he was confined until August in the Peoria county jail, when he was removed to Metamora for trial, and upon a change of venue being taken to Marshall county, he was brought to Lacon, where he has since been confined.
		Ransom took an appeal on the order for lawyer's fees and was attached, on which he also appealed, and that is how the case now stands.
		Ransom was near the ice box and seemed to be cringing; appeared as if he would not resent what was going on; thought there would be no trouble as Ransom was quiet and his manner seemed to indicate fear.

	THE ROMANCE READER reviews: Ransom’s Bride by Ginger Hanson
		Ransom has a wonderful dream that his Sabrina is alive and he’s able to hold her and touch her, but wakes horrified to find that he actually made love to Angela.
		All the while Ransom is trying to sort out his feelings for his new bride, to whom he feels a strong attraction, but nothing approaching the love he felt for Sabrina.
		Without giving too much away, Angela ends up two states away from Ransom and is calmly working as a cook while waiting for him to come and “collect her.” How on earth is he supposed to know where she is? God himself must have pointed the way, because it would have been impossible otherwise.

		When I heard Ransom read “Blue Girls” in Sewanee, Tennessee, in the late 1950s, he mentioned in passing that “of course” we would know that the girls in the poem were students at the Ward Belmont School in Nashville, because of their blue uniforms.
		Unusual for Ransom, most of the rhymes are full, with only the well-chosen inexactness of “daddy” and “baby” lending the second stanza a rumpled intimacy, and the lovely “Janet”/ “upon it” of the next to last stanza adding to the poem’s sense of amused gravity.
		Ransom mixes modernist with old-fashioned country rhetoric to the extent that it is hard to tell which linguistic realm “put the poison” comes from.

	Harry Ransom Museum, Austin, Texas
		Ransom installed a collection development unit and launched a new era of intense purchasing and acquisition, focusing on English, American, and French literature.
		Some of the Ransom Center's most important collections began as complements to the literary collections: portraits and photographs of and by literary greats, drawings by prominent book illustrators, cartoons and caricatures by famous writers, sketches of theatre sets and costumes, works of art created by celebrated writers and poets.
		Both men developed the same philosophy in their collecting: that they were not simply collecting the works of people, but rather, they were collecting materials that would allow one to research the person, as a person and as an artist, and thus the creative process itself.

		Ransom didn't think the sunburned house in Othello could possibly be worth much, but with mother and father both gone, and because he had no siblings, he agreed to meet with the man. Alistair, the man called himself, and while he was Rose Shaeffer's lawyer, he was also - he said - Ransom's actual father.
		And the inheritance he had for Ransom had nothing to do with the monies from the sale of the tiny square house on East Hemlock Street in Othello - he, Alistair, was a Lord of Chaos.
		To say that Ransom was stunned, shaken and utterly disbelieving would not accurately describe his reaction.

		In 1957 the late Harry Ransom, then a professor and dean at the university, began actively pursuing his long-held ambition to create one of the foremost research libraries in existence.
		Ransom began taking libraries in another direction as he led the way in acquiring contemporary material such as the papers and works of living authors and artists.
		“The key to Ransom’s success and vision, and the guiding principle for the center to the present day, is the premise that the published work is not the beginning of the literary study,” said Ransom Center Director Thomas F. Staley.

	Ransom
		But the fact that men are ransomed from the first penalty does not guarantee that they may not, when individually tried for everlasting life, fail to render the obedience without which none will be permitted to live everlastingly.
		The completeness of the ransom is the very strongest possible argument for the restitution of all mankind who will accept it on the proffered terms.
		Some have supposed that if the billions of the dead were resurrected, there would not be room for them on the earth; and that if there should be room for them, the earth would not be capable of sustaining so large a population.

		ROME (AP) — The Italian government and Red Cross on Friday denied an aid worker's claim that ransom was paid for three Italian hostages who were freed earlier this week in Iraq.
		Gino Strada, a physician with the aid organization Emergency and a frequent critic of the war in Iraq, said in comments reported by the daily newspaper Corriere della Sera that he found the government's version hard to believe.

	A Ransom For All
		A clear view of the ransom, and what it required, affirms the understanding that the penalty of sin is not life in misery, but the taking away of all life in death.
		We should therefore understand that the permanent results of the ransom will be in every way worthy of the Father who devised the plan of redemption, and satisfactory to the Son who executed it and brings it to its glorious consummation.
		The study of the Bible's ransom teaching results in a clearer view than ever of the harmony of the divine wisdom and foreknowledge, and of His justice, love and power.

		Conceived in the 1950s and opened in 1970, the Ransom Center was supposed to be the crowning glory for UT professor, president and, eventually, UT System Chancellor Harry Huntt Ransom, who purchased the core of the collection with a secret pipeline of dollars from UT regents.
		Although Ransom had turned the UT archive into one of the finest in the country — rivaling the Library of Congress and New York Public Library in 20th-century cultural material — the building itself was a clear disappointment.
		Scholars followed a tiny, poorly identified elevator to reading and viewing rooms on upper levels, while crowded, ill-arranged exhibitions were immured in the Leeds Gallery on the fourth floor of the Flawn Academic Center across campus.
