Frank Conroy (January 15, 1936 – April 6, 2005) was an American author. He published five books, including the highly acclaimed memoir Stop-Time. Published in 1967, this ultimately made Conroy a noted figure in the literary world. The book was nominated for the National Book Award.
Frank Conroy was born on January 15, 1936 in New York, New York to an American father and a Danish mother. Conroy graduated from Haverford College, and was director of the influential Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa for 18 years, from 1987 until 2005, where he was also F.

Conroy's published works included: the memoir Stop-Time; a collection of short stories, Midair; a novel, Body and Soul, which is regarded as one of the finest evocations of the experience of being a musician; a collection of essays and commentaries, Dogs Bark, but the Caravan Rolls On: Observations Then and Now; and a travelogue, Time and Tide: A Walk Through Nantucket. His fiction and non-fiction appeared in such journals as The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, Harper's Magazine and Partisan Review.

(Hunted from McCormack's album, One More Round) Paul McCormack said" I bring in a good lyric and a good vibe or beat, a song or tune that can sway and touch and stir whatever part of you it hits. I like to think that I can write a song that carries a story because I'm a great believer in storytelling. It's an ancient art and I grew up with storytelling and surrounded by great storytellers. I've travelled a bit in my day - not the holiday kind of travel but more on the road in your face kind of travelling and I like to include my experiences in my song writing. Most of my rambling was done by hitchhiking - I come from a nation of ramblers and rovers namely The Irish. Once upon a time I ran a folk club with my friend Nicky Leahy called "The Rakes Of Kildare" and any and everyone whose famous...

This week we are taking a look at the activities of "La Cosa Nostra" in our city's past. It dates back to at least the 1940s and elements still exist today. But the period many refer to as "the mob era" was the mid-60s through early 80s. Despite its title News 3's Tom Hawley tells us many of the criminals weren't organized at all. Men like Tony "The Ant" Spilotro, Frank Cullotta, "Fat Herbie" Blitztein and Gaspar Speciale seemed to run free with loan-sharking, burglary and murder and they were all drawn here around the casino skim. The battle to take the worst offenders down began in earnest in 1979. A year later, the operation resulted in an unexpected turn that ratcheded up the tension on both sides.
