...hard to think of Ian Brady as an author. Half of the duo responsible for the notorious Moors Murders, a series of child slayings in 1960s Britain, Brady made his name as a killer. And the dust jacket of his book, The Gates of Janus: Serial Killing and its Analysis (Feral House; 305 pages) publicizes him as a murderer, not a writer...
...Most of the 11, however, are like Nagvajara and his American wife Gina - they pay for everything themselves. The Nagvajaras estimate it has cost them about $10,000 to pay for travel to races in Switzerland, around the U.S. and Salt Lake.

Clad in a warm-up jacket and black cords, this soft-spoken flugelhornist and trumpeter could have been mistaken for your typical garage-collection suburbanite jazz aficionado—that is, until he put mouth to valve and sang out the mournful melody of Wayne Shorter’s “Footsteps.” From then on, the lyrical and deep sound of his horn reinvented the familiar tune, revealing and reveling in an inner sadness too often missed by breezy tenor...
