The origin of our enjoyment of word-play can be traced through the ages back to when we first developed the capacity for language. According to one theory, it may well be that language emerged from a sense of playfulness. Perhaps the first verbal guessing games were a pastime for amusement inspired by a curiosity about the world. Later, they served as a way to pass down culture and tradition to the next generation-what we all know now as the familiar nursery rhyme. In that spirit, the riddles in this book capture present time observations and also provide a poetic challenge to the imagination.

In the mid '60s a very young Sacramento police officer, Michael Shaw, was thrown into a battlefield of shooting, sniping and rioting that marked the continuation of the black civil-rights movement in this country. He was involved in an era of violence that came partially as a result of unrest in the ghettos of large cities and race discrimination. It was a time of change that cost careers and lives. Gunshots rang out nightly for weeks on end as he and other officers fought to maintain peace. Shaw's career began as a police patrolman on September 13, 1965. He loved his work and every call and promotion was an adventure worth telling, even when a bloody, deadly police shooting almost claimed his life the first year on The Job. That easily could have ended his career, but instead, it ended abruptly 29 years later on November 10, 1993, only not from a bullet. The end marked yet another victim of race discrimination. First promoted to sergeant in 1970, he spent years as a uniformed sergeant and homicide supervisor. As a lieutenant and captain, he spent time supervising the Special Weapons and Tactics Teams (Swat) and the narcotics division. In 1990 he was promoted to commander, and began management of one half of the cities uniformed police resources. But times change. Racism still existed in the '90s, as it did in the '60s, and historically. However, there emerged new targets. Personal agenda's and liberal political power soar to new heights as affirmative action battles rage back and forth in the media as well as in government and educational institutions nationwide. In June of 1992 Sacramento's political arena changed over night. It became the stage for institutional racism. The heart of ethics, fairness, and the law was torn apart by a new city administration. An election brought on an agenda of political power and arrogance never experienced by the commander. Police chiefs and city officials retired to avoid the onslaught of forced changes they knew would come. Those changes brought on unrealistic policy and discriminatory practices that became known as the City of Sacramento's Affirmative-Action Plan. Within months Sacramento's first Hispanic mayor labeled the police department as "lily white" and a new chief of police, Arturo Venegas, gave the nod to a new phrase: "middle-aged white boys-bureaucratic barriers to change." The commander and other senior Caucasian police managers were singled out for removal. The hateful words, "one down and three to go," could be heard joyfully ringing out of the chief's office as the first veteran Caucasian manager is pushed out the front door of the Hall of Justice, leaving others to wonder who would be next. Harassment and sickness devour Shaw's career and he becomes the second with three and four to follow. Supported only by his Christian faith, family and friends he decides that discrimination wouldn't stop him from fighting back. His civil rights became an issue more important than retirement or declining health. Michael and Linda made the decision to take on government power and money, seemingly impossible odds, but it was the right thing to do. With family still working in the department Shaw turns to the courts to battle against the discrimination that had not only claimed his health and destroyed the upper management ranks of the department; it had daily became a cancer eating its way through every level of the institution. "First there were four and then no more," became the battle cry of the plaintiff's attorney, Leo Donahue, a retired United States Air Force jet fighter pilot. The commander and co-plaintiff battled their way through motion after motion in federal court, which concluded with The Trial. The past employer, now a defendant in the United States Federal Court, 5th District, had become the vicious enemy. The city had turned rabid, and did everything possible, not just to win, but to completely destroy the veteran police managers.

This report outlines the results of archaeological investigations at Old Hall Street, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK (NGR SO 916984), carried out between 2000 and 2007. The results of the archaeological work have been combined with documentary, cartographic and genealogical studies, together with finds and scientific analyses, to present a broad interpretation of the history of settlement in the area and the motives behind it. The site was the location of a moated Elizabethan mansion house, the Great Hall, which lay at the edge of the then settled area of Wolverhampton in an area that had once been part of the town fields. A documentary reference suggests that there was an earlier house on the site, but there is only limited archaeological evidence to support this. The building of the Great Hall was intended to make a clear statement about the status, wealth and prestige of its owners, the Leveson family, who were prominent Wolverhampton merchants, also involved in the early industrialisation of the Black Country. The aspirations of the family are clearly demonstrated by their construction of one of Staffordshire's most significant early brick buildings The later history of the Great Hall mirrors that of the Black Country, fortowards the end of the 18th century it was converted for use as a japanning factory, known as the Old Hall Works, artefacts from which were exhibited in the Great Exhibition of 1851. A large-scale map of 1852 gives a detailed insight into the layout of the japanning factory, which was finally demolished in 1883, an Adult Education College being built on the site in 1899. The archaeological excavations took place ahead of the redevelopment of the college. This report shows something of the process by which the Black Country attained its distinctive personality.
