    You may have missed A Mobster Who Really Wants a Pet Rabbit due to getting your patriotism on for the Fourth of July, but I love it so much I want everyone to read it. * Twilight of the Pizza Barons, or Why I Refuse to Order Domino's Even Though There Is No Longer Any Connection There: Monaghan began to dabble in Catholic causes. He established Legatus, an organization for Catholic chief executive officers, and donated $50,000 to support a Michigan ballot proposal to ban state-funded abortions. After the National Organization for Women responded by calling for a boycott of Domino’s, Monaghan told the Ann Arbor News, “It made me realize why martyrs die with smiles on their faces.” He was equally busy giving interviews about his $40 cashmere socks, his obsession with the actress Debbie Reynolds, and his growing pile of pricey toys. He could afford them. In 1985, Domino’s opened 954 stores, bringing the total to 2,841. The year before, the Tigers, which Monaghan bought for $53 million in 1983, won the World Series. Today a replica of the trophy stands in a glass case down the hall from Monaghan’s office. * IMPORTANT INFORMATION for those who are participating in our An Untamed State book club! (First discussion here.) We will be meeting back on Thursday, July 17th, and discussing through the end of Chapter 12. Gird your loins. *
