Film | Viva Las Vegas (1964) with Elvis Presley


All musically gifted race-driver Lucky Jackson wants in Las Vegas is to score enough money for a new car motor so he can win the Grand Prix. When he encounters sexy swimming instructor Rusty, he considers staying around longer. After Lucky loses his winnings in the hotel pool, he's forced to remain in Vegas long enough to win back his dough — but now he also wants to win the Rusty's heart. Unfortunately, so does his slick racing enemy, Elmo. Director: George Sidney Cast: Elvis Presley, Ann-Margret, Cesare Danova, William Demarest, Nicky Blair Elvis Presley, also known mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Known as the "King of Rock and Roll," he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century.

Book Discussion | Serpent in Eden: Foreign Meddling and Partisan Politics in James Madison's America (online)


Tyson Reeder traces early America's rocky beginnings, when foreign interference and political conflict threatened to undermine its aspirations and ideals, even its very existence. Spanning the period from the Revolution to the War of 1812, and focusing particularly on the career of James Madison, it reveals a nation adjusting to rancorous partisan politics, aggravated by the untested and imperfect new tools of governance and the growing power of media.*
