Anyone who knows me will tell you that I cherish my unmarried state. I?m female, twice divorced, no kids and no close family ties. I?m perfectly content to do what I do...

Then came the phone call and suddenly everything became clear. The frame-up was working and Kinsey was trapped.. . ?Grafton on form yet again? The Times
Bruce Springsteen is one of the most important and controversial rock stars of our times: this is the story of the man - a complex, poetic loner whose albums went on to sell 18 million copies - and the band that gave his inner vision a punch and a swagger. Clinton Heylin has written the most factually accurate, informative book on Springsteen to date. As in Heylin's definitive Bob Dylan title Revolution in the Air, E Street Shuffle will focus on Bruce Springsteen and his work: the songs he's written, the way they were recorded, how they sounded live. Heylin also has unparalleled access to the people around Springsteen: current and former members of the E Street Band; CBS A&R personnel; Springsteen's 'New Dylan' contemporaries, as well as fellow Asbury Park musicians and scenesters, and rock critics.

Packed with great new strips, stories and articles, the full-colour Eagle comic landed in the grey post-war gloom of Britain in April 1950. It lit up schoolboys' lives across the land with features on hobbies, sporting personalities and space travel. Weekly features included the resident Professor Brittain explaining radar (in the first issue; he'd later go on to tackle particle theory, splitting the atom and the inside of a London Underground ticket machine), and the legendarily detailed cutaways. The first cutaway featured a jet-black 'New Gas Turbine-Electric Locomotive' emerging at speed from a tunnel; later everything from the manufacturing of ice cream to the workings of the Quebec Bridge would be forensically dissected in beautiful Super-8 colour. Other stalwarts included PC49, Harris Tweed and Jeff Arnold (basically Dan Dare in a checked shirt and cowboy hat). There was also the intrepid MacDonald Hastings - a willing knife-thrower's target and human firework, and, of course, the greatest comic strip of all time: Dan Dare, Frank Hampson's painfully detailed Pilot of the Future...
The 1960s was unforgettably the swinging decade: England won the World Cup, Neil Armstrong too his first steps on the surface of the Moon and technology was 'white hot'. The Eagle, Earth's greatest boys' weekly comic, also continued to thrive. Dan Dare, of the Interplanetary Space Fleet, was an ever-present, as were the cutaways: and the likes of Jeff Arnold and Harris Tweed also appeared alongside newcomers such as Fraser of Africa and Mike Lane, the Guinea Pig, subject at one point in 1967 to mind-altering experiments with coloured lights. The Eagle Annual: the best of the 1960s comic follows the successful formula of the 1950s annual: strips, features, adverts and editorial are annotated with contemporary captions and longer pieces telling the story of the Eagle's second decade.

He meets Debra, a beautiful Israeli writer who he will fight against, in another country's war, at the controls of his Mirage. Breathless action brings them together but is also the very tragedy that will threaten to tear them apart...
