Samantha Bond, Jo Martin, Cara Horgan, Natalie Dew, Rita Tushingham, Holli Dempsey, Phill Langhorne, Tijan Sarr.Originally broadcast as single episodes of a television program in 2025.While life in the idyllic town of Marlow has just about returned to normal after a chain of murders rattled the tightly knit community, it's not long before retired archaeologist Judith Potts, dog-walker Suzie Harris, and Vicar's wife Becks Starling are called back into action to solve a series of new crimes that befall the local residents. From a seemingly impossible murder inside the locked study of a sweeping mansion to the mysterious case of a man with no connection to the town murdered in the middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac, and an unexpectedly brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that quickly reveals itself to be something more sinister, there's no rest for our sleuthing trio. Navigating the delicate balance of Marlow society--from local aristocracy to the workers at the local boatyard, the pubs and cafes of the high street to a newly established archaeological dig--Judith, Becks and Suzie delve into all corners of Marlow life as they assist DCI Tanika Malik in her official investigations.Rating: TV-14.English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH)DVD; NTSC, region 1; widescreen (1.78:1); Dolby Digital 5.1.

Spy watching : intelligence accountability in the United States / by Johnson, Loch K.,1942-author.(CARDINAL)169074;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Democracy and intelligence -- Part I: The magnitude of the challenge -- Tracking an elusive behemoth -- Intelligence exceptionalism -- Part II: The evolution of intelligence accountability -- CDemocracy comes to the secret agencies -- The experiment in intelligence accountability begins -- Spy watching in an age of terror -- Part III: The patterns of intelligence accountability -- A shock theory of intelligence accountability -- The media and intelligence accountability -- Ostriches, cheerleaders, lemon-suckers, and guardians -- Part IV: The practice of intelligence accountability -- In the trenches: collection and analysis, covert action -- In the wilderness: coping with counterintelligence -- Part V: The future of intelligence accountability -- Intelligence accountability and the nation's spy chiefs -- The ongoing quest for liberty and security -- Epilogue: Intelligence in the early Trump administration -- Appendix A: The organization of the U.S. intelligence community, 2017 -- Appendix B: U.S. intelligence leadership, 1946-2017 -- Appendix C: The Intelligence Oversight Act of 1980."All democracies have had to contend with the challenge of tolerating hidden spy services within otherwise relatively transparent governments. Democracies pride themselves on privacy and liberty, but intelligence organizations have secret budgets, gather information surreptitiously around the world, and plan covert action against foreign regimes. Sometimes, they have even targeted the very citizens they were established to protect, as with the COINTELPRO operations in the 1960s and 1970s, carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against civil rights and antiwar activists. In this sense, democracy and intelligence have always been a poor match. Yet Americans live in an uncertain and threatening world filled with nuclear warheads, chemical and biological weapons, and terrorists intent on destruction. Without an intelligence apparatus scanning the globe to alert the United States to these threats, the planet would be an even more perilous place. In Spy Watching, Loch K. Johnson explores the United States' travails in its efforts to maintain effective accountability over its spy services. Johnson explores the work of the famous Church Committee, a Senate panel that investigated America's espionage organizations in 1975 and established new protocol for supervising the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the nation's other sixteen secret services. Johnson explores why partisanship has crept into once-neutral intelligence operations, the effect of the 9/11 attacks on the expansion of spying, and the controversies related to CIA rendition and torture programs. He also discusses both the Edward Snowden case and the ongoing investigations into the Russian hack of the 2016 US election. Above all, Spy Watching seeks to find a sensible balance between the twin imperatives in a democracy of liberty and security. Johnson draws on scores of interviews with Directors of Central Intelligence and others in America's secret agencies, making this a uniquely authoritative account."--"Given the dangers in the world--from terrorism to pandemics--nations must have effective spy services; yet, to prevent the misuse of secret power, democracies must also ensure that their spies are well supervised. This book focuses on the obstacles encountered by America as it pursues more effective intelligence accountability"--

Reining in the state : civil society and Congress in the Vietnam and Watergate eras / by Scott, Katherine A.(Katherine Anne);
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-228) and index.Introduction -- "Recruiting an army" : Russ Wiggins demands transparency -- "What's going on in the Black community?" : Ramsey Clark investigates civil disorder -- "A communist behind every bush" : the Army spies on civilians -- Senator Sam, or, How liberals learned to stop worrying and love a southern segregationist -- It's "poppycock" : Congress challenges executive privilege -- An "effective servant of the public's right to know" : Representative Moorhead revises FOIA -- "Tempers change, times change, public attitudes change" : passing FISA -- Epilogue.Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon dramatically expanded the federal government's domestic security apparatus to cope with social unrest that rocked their administrations. By the mid-1970s, the Justice Department and Army maintained some 400 databanks containing nearly 200 million files on supposedly subversive individuals and organizations. Katherine Scott chronicles the subsequent public response to that government action: a determined citizens' movement to rein in the state. She details the efforts of a group of unheralded heroes who battled to reinvigorate judicial, legislative, and civic oversight of the executive branch in order to curtail and prevent future abuses by government agencies. Working closely with allies in Congress, they challenged state power, instituted open government policies, and protected individual privacy rights. Scott has assembled a cast of characters with compelling stories: Russ Wiggins of the Washington Post, who organized a citizens' campaign for government transparency; Representative John Moss, who called attention to government censorship; ACLU Director Aryeh Neier, who created a legal strategy for judicial oversight of executive branch security measures; Senator Sam Ervin, a civil libertarian who demanded greater oversight of the executive branch; and Morton Halperin, a former NSC staff member, who called attention to the gross constitutional violations of the nation's top security agencies. Rejecting the agendas and methods of both the radical left and the antigovernment right, these progressive reformers sought to bring the American state in line with democratic practice. When Army Captain Christopher Pyle blew the whistle on the U.S. Army's domestic surveillance program, reformers had evidence of illegal domestic spying that they had long suspected but could not confirm. Scott explores how his action united liberals and conservatives to end such abuses. She also assesses how Watergate prompted broad debate in the public sphere about the problems of executive power, the need for greater transparency in domestic security policy, and greater oversight of the activities of the FBI and CIA. These reformers' efforts bore fruit with the passage of a series of major legislative reforms, including the 1974 Freedom of Information Act revisions, the 1974 Privacy Act, the 1976 Government in Sunshine Act, and the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Now that government surveillance of citizens has returned to public consciousness in the wake of 9/11, Scott's stirring account reminds us that power still resides with the people. -- Publisher description.
