	Stone Fort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Since the construction of Gil Y'Barbo's stone house sometime between the years of 1788 and 1791, the history and folklore of Nacogdoches and the stone structure have been interwoven.
		The stone house was a landmark in Nacogdoches through the control of eight different governments in East Texas--Spain, the Magee-Gutierrez expedition of 1813, the James Long's Republic of 1819, the Republic of Fredonia of 1826, Mexico, the Texas Republic, the Confederacy, and the United States of America.
		The variety of owners and uses of the stone house contribute to the rich texture of Nacogdoches life in the late eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries.

		Stone, whose Miami mob even jostled a visiting Sharpton during the recount, said recently in The American Spectator that if Sharpton were to run "as an independent" in the 2006 Hillary Clinton race, she would be "sunk," implicitly suggesting that this operation may be a precursor to another Stone-Sharpton mission.
		Stone discussed the daunting requirement of raising at least $5,000 in 20 states to obtain federal matching funds and outlined some of "the things he had to do," according to Sheinkopf, to achieve it.

	Amazon.fr : Stone Alone: The Story of a Rock 'N' Roll Band: Livres en anglais: Bill Wyman,Ray Coleman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Contributing to the growing Rolling Stones bibliography is A. Hotchner's recently published Blown Away: The Rolling Stones and the Death of the Sixties (LJ 10/15/90), and now the group's first autobiographical account by Wyman, bass player with the group since 1962.
		The Stones and the Sixties have almost become synonymous, and it is on this period--from the band's beginnings in small jazz clubs to the Hyde Park concert in July 1969 two days after Brian Jones's death--that Wyman concentrates.
		His story is often significant, as in his disclosure that Jones may have been an epileptic, but also tedious in the and-then-we-did-this approach he often employs.
