Question: What Killed Jacob Marley (From Dicken's A Christmas Carol)?

There are plenty of sites out there that mention possible diseases that Tiny Tim (of A Christmas Carol) has, but I can't find anything about what killed Jacob Marley (not "his sins"). The treatment seemed to be wrapping a cloth around the head.

Question: Information about Virgil Belew?

I'm looking for information on the activities and writing of my late father, Virgil L. Belew, around 1933, when he was an editor of the Daily Californian at U.C. Berkeley, and also regarding his appearance at a congressional committee hearing (McCarthy?) in the 1950s, at which he apparently took the 5th amendment while being questioned about his friend Rossi Reynolds, whose wife was supposedly a California Communist Party officer. Information about the Reynolds would be interesting, too - when I met them in the 1940s they were potters and artists living in San Francisco.

Question: What is the Legal Definition of Rape?

I was wondering if there is a source (or sources) for evaluating what is considered rape in each of the U.S. states. I want to know how it's defined by each state. If it is possible, I would also be interested in any information on the charges against those who are accused of rape. In other words, how do they differ from state to state? Recently in an online discussion forum, these questions were raised after someone brought up the "Men Can Stop Rape" posters. Many people were wondering how rape is defined legally in their respective states and how those definitions differ from state to state. Thank you very much!!

Question: Verify a Quotation Made by Norman Thomas?

Question: The history of book editing and anthologies

Can you tell me some URLs that tell about the history of "the edited book." The edited book here is from the view point of collection/selection of content based on some criterion and not from a printing/publishing point of view.
