Once Upon a Time in Texas: A Liberal in the Lone Star StateOnce upon a time in Texas . . . there were liberal activists of various stripes who sought to make the state more tolerant and more tolerable. David Richards was one of them. In this fast paced, often humorous memoir, he remembers the players, the strategy sessions, the legal and political battles, and the wins and losses that brought significant gains in civil rights, voter rights, labor law, and civil liberties to the people of Texas from the 1950s
Once upon a time in Texas . . . there were liberal activists of various stripes who sought to make the state more tolerant and more tolerable. David Richards was one of them. In this fast-paced, often humorous memoir, he remembers the players, the strategy sessions, the legal and political battles, and the wins and losses that brought significant gains in civil rights, voter rights, labor law, and civil liberties to the people of Texas from the 1950s to the 1990s. In his work as a lawyer, Richards was involved in cases covering voters' rights (the creation of single-member districts to address the historic exclusion of minority voters), school finance reform (to address inequities in school funding), and a myriad of civil liberties and free speech cases. In telling these stories, he vividly evokes the "glory days" of Austin liberalism, when a "who's who" of Texas activists plotted strategy at watering holes such as Scholz Garden and the Armadillo World Headquarters or on raft trips down the Rio Grande and Guadalupe Rivers. Likewise, he offers vivid portraits of liberal politicians from Ralph Yarborough to Ann Richards (his former wife), progressive journalists such as Molly Ivins and the Texas Observer staff, and the hippies, hellraisers, and musicians who all challenged Texas's conservative status quo. Everyone fascinated by Texas politics and liberal activism in the last half of the twentieth century will enjoy this book. Written with flair and an insider's insights, it records "a sweeter time when a free-associating bunch of ragtag Texans took on the establishment at a variety of junctures," as Richards put it.Binding Type: Paperback

dog ball
Color: Blue
This ball is perfect for keeping my dog active and entertained. It's made of strong, durable material, ideal for games of fetch. It doesn't break easily and is light enough for him to carry in his mouth without any problem.

Fun but not for rough play.
Color: Orange
The ball contented our “golden” Jaxson for about 15 minutes. He then thought it was a regular ball and it’s just a little delicate for a big dog. I just wrote it off as a loss. Great idea but should be more durable.

PERFECT Toy Aussie Puppy Toy!!
Size: Small Size 1, Color: A-Colorful Pink, Size: Small Size 1, Color: A-Colorful Pink
If I could give this six out of five stars I would. I’m so grateful that there are multiple size options so I could pick the perfect size for my puppy. As a 4 1/2 pound puppy, I got him the smallest size ball. It’s the perfect size for him and he’s able to pick it up at any corner with the strap zone on to it. It’s very thick and durable but also lightweight so my 4 1/2 pound puppy is able to run with it in its mouth easily. He loves chewing the tabs and they haven’t budged or broken. It’s excellent quality and worth every dollar. We used this ball indoors and outdoors all day long, it’s his favorite toy!!
