Thorpe

Children of the Sun is the third studio album by Australian musician Billy Thorpe, released in 1979. The album spawned the singles "Wrapped in the Chains of Your Love", "Goddess of the Night", "Children of the Sun" and "Simple Life". This was the only official CD release of "Children of the Sun". It was only released in Australia, and has the original mix of the title track, as opposed to the remix version that appears on the "Revisited" CD.

In 1979, Panorama reporter Tom Mangold led an investigation into the trial of Jeremy Thorpe and others for the alleged conspiracy to kill Thorpe's former lover, Norman Scott. Convinced that the former Liberal Party leader would be found guilty, a special post-trial programme was prepared. This was scrapped, however, when the jury returned its verdicts of not guilty for all defendants, and the programme has remained unseen for almost 40 years. Edited and updated with new information about a fresh 2017 police inquiry into the case, Tom Mangold finally presents his story about how powerful political forces tried to protect Thorpe.

A inizio '900, mentre il governo degli Stati Uniti lanciava una campagna di assimilazione dei nativi sopravvissuti ai massacri del secolo precedente, si impose al mondo Jim Thorpe, membro della nazione indiana Sac e Fox e ricordato come uno dei più grandi atleti americani di tutti i tempi. Campione della squadra di football della scuola indiana di Carlisle, Thorpe vinse due ori alle Olimpiadi del 1912 - poi revocati perché accusato di professionismo.

Un vero page turner dal piglio trascinante, "Margo ha problemi di soldi" racconta la storia di una ventenne studentessa californiana, che un giorno scopre di aspettare un bambino da Mark, suo professore all'università, sposato e con due figli. Margo decide di tenere il bimbo, nonostante tutti le ricordino che l'aspetta una vita difficile, soprattutto perché non ha un soldo. E infatti, com'è prevedibile, quando Bodhi nasce la situazione si complica: le coinquiline con cui divide l'appartamento si lamentano per le urla del piccolo, Margo non riesce a trovargli un posto all'asilo nido e il ristorante in cui lavora la licenzia. Del tutto al verde, Margo decide di sbarcare su OnlyFans ma la situazione finisce solo per intricarsi ulteriormente…
