If Rose Dugdale seemed a character out of a B-movie, the next gangster to target Russborough House actually inspired two feature films about his life and crimes. Dublin...
...multicultural learning experience, with the couple participating in a traditional tea ceremony at a Japanese Cultural Center followed by step dancing at an Irish-American club. In a happy coincidence, the night’s activities matched Totman’s passions—she studied in Dublin last spring, and is interested in East Asian Studies—and provided plenty of conversation to buffer the inevitable on-camera, blind-date uneasiness...
