In some circumstances the Holy Trinity is represented as 3 similarly clothed, male figures. In other situations, God the Father is represented as a grey-haired guy, the son by a crucified younger gentleman and the Holy Spirit by a white dove. Variations of iconography and composition mirrored the artist’s abilities, the patron’s taste and or the specifications of church doctrine. This collection of 10 retablos reveals the ongoing development and understanding of the subject “three individuals, one substance” that some scholars think is foreshadowed in the Previous Testament of the Bible.

Dark Rose: Organized Crime and Corruption in Portland $22.5 In April 1956, Portland Oregonian investigative reporters Wallace Turner and William Lambert exposed organized crime rackets and rampant corruption within the city’s law enforcement institutions. The biggest scandal involved Teamsters officials and the city’s lucrative prostitution, gambling, and bootlegging operations. Turner and Lambert blew the cover on the Teamsters scheme to take over alcohol sales and distribution and profit from these fringe enterprises. The Rose City was seething with vice and intrigue. The exposé and other reports of racketeering from around the country incited a national investigation into crime networks and union officials headed by the McClellan Committee, or officially, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in the Labor or Management Field. The Commission discovered evidence in Portland that helped prove Teamsters President Dave Beck’s embezzlement of union funds and union Vice President Jimmy Hoffa’s connection to the mob. Dark Rose reveals the fascinating and sordid details of an important period in the history of what by the end of the century had become a great American city. It is a story of Portland’s repeated and often failed efforts to flush out organized crime and municipal corruption-a familiar story for many mid-twentieth-century American cities that were attempting to clean up their police departments and municipal governments. Dark Rose also helps explain the heritage of Portland reform politics and the creation of what is today one of the country’s most progressive cities. “Dark Rose takes readers inside a seamy and significant episode in Portland’s history, complete with snitches, secret tapes, and a Congressional spotlight on the city’s corruption that made it a national object lesson for municipal reform.” -William Lang, Portland State University”An absorbing account of a time when criminals, politicians, and labor leaders ran an open city of |
