How Did the Belt Win?

How did belts beat suspenders in the holding-up-our-pants contest? It’s not because the organ-squeezing tourniquet is more comfortable, or even better at holding our pants up. The answer is partly about how cowboys and the Duke of Windsor made belts cool, and partly about how most of us accept conventional wisdom. Freakonomics explores the issue in a fun thirty-minute radio episode here.

The Deep Blue Good-By, 1964.

First in the series.

McGee isn’t particularly strapped for cash, but how can anyone say no to Cathy, a sweet backwoods girl who’s been tortured repeatedly by her manipulative ex-boyfriend Junior Allen? What Travis isn’t anticipating is just how many women Junior has torn apart and left in his wake. Enter Junior’s latest victim, Lois Atkinson.

Frail and broken, Lois can barely get out of bed when Travis finds her, let alone keep herself alive. But Travis turns into Mother McGee, giving Lois new life as he looks for the ruthless man who steals women’s spirits and livelihoods. But he can’t guess how violent his quest is soon to become. He’ll learn the hard way that there must be casualties in this game of cat and mouse.

Being adapted into a film starring Christian Bale, Peter Dinklage, and Rosamund Pike. Script by Dennis Lehane; directed by James Mangold.
