While boasting fans in several countries from across the globe, today, professional wrestling maintains a lasting presence in five territories - USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan and Mexico. ‘Culturally embedded spectacle’ is the unique conceptual framework developed for this paper to explain the longevity of professional wrestling in these five locations and includes the following factors: a continuous history of professional wrestling, national television exposure during the Old School era highlighting larger-than-life characters playing the face, an extensive group of independent professional wrestling federations and commemorative cultural experiences for young and old fans. 2 Granted, there may be other aspects not included here.

  • Sir Robert Johnson, the Mint and Medal Making in Inter-War Britain
    SIR ROBERT JOHNSON, THE MINT AND MEDAL MAKING IN INTER-WAR BRITAIN CHRISTOPHER EIMER WITH few exceptions the medal had fallen into decline since at least the beginning of the present century, and the First World War merely compounded the deficiency. Inspiration came from just a handful of medallists and was insufficient to create a desirable climate in which medallic art could flourish in Britain. The early 1920s mark the beginning of a period when medal making experienced an important revival, due largely to the initiative and forward-planning of one man, Robert Arthur Johnson (no. 1), who from 1922 until his untimely death in 1938 used his position as deputy master of the Royal Mint to stimulate and sustain medallic art in Britain. This paper focuses not only on the medals and their respective artists with whom Johnson was associated, but also concerns itself with the intrigues and manoeuvres used in obtaining work for the Mint, sometimes to the detriment of private medal manufacturers. Forty-eight year old Johnson did not come to office without prior experience in public administration. After Winchester and New College, Oxford, he served in the Department of Scottish Education, H.M. Customs and Excise, and in 1919 as Assistant Secretary in the Treasury, and had been called to the Bar in 1913. By merely looking at some of the medallic work being produced in northern Europe, both at various mints as well as privately, he was able to recognize the state of the art in Britain for what it was and wasted little time in attacking the malaise from which medals were suffering.

Athens provided the Ionian Greeks with assistance in their rebellion against the Persians, but aside from the sack of Sardes, the campaign was unsuccessful. Nonetheless, the Persian King Darius, aiming to punish Athens for their support of the Ionian rebellion, launched an invasion of Greece, landing at Marathon in 490 BC. Only twenty five miles from the city of Athens, the vastly outnumbered Athenian hoplite force crushed the invading Persian army, who turned and fled after suffering horrendous casualties.

  • Mecca of the Squared Circle Mecca of the Squared Circle
    “His face is a crimson mask”—just one example Wrestling legends Ric Flair and Gordon Solie of a phrase coined by legendary wrestling play-by-play photo courtesy Gene Gordon czar Gordon Solie, a man who held a pivotal role in ©Scooter Lesley promoting the mass appeal of Florida wrestling. Watching Championship Wrestling from Florida was a staple of life for many Floridians. The fans were both overt and closeted, but they all knew the flashy moves and big finishes. CWF became a top-rated statewide soap opera for the unwashed masses from the early 1950s to the late ’80s. Stars such as Eddie & Mike Graham, The Great Malenko, Buddy Colt, Jack & Jerry Brisco, Dory & Terry Funk, and Kurt & Karl Von Brauner, accompanied by their manager “Gentleman” Saul Weingroff, comprised the main attraction for a circus made up of high flyers and strongmen, heels and baby faces—and we were the stunned audience. Cowboy Luttrall drove the shows’ success. In the 1940s, his challenge of Joe Lewis to a boxer vs. wrestler match became his claim to fame. Lewis won, but Cowboy made a name for himself. The rest is history. Luttrall had an eye for talent, he quickly recruited legends such as Eddie Graham and his “brother” Dr. Jerry Graham, Hans Schmidt, Buddy “Killer” Austin, Ray Villmer, and one of the most hated combos in the history of the game—Kurt & Karl Von Brauner, the German Twins. World War II was not far removed from the memories of those attending the shows at venues such as Tampa’s Fort Homer Hesterly Armory.

  • William Butler Yeats and the Irish Coinage
    Published in: Numismatics International Bulletin Dallas, Texas, Vol. 39 Nr 4 April 2004, pp. 77-83. The text below is identical with the text published – page numbers from the edition are given in parenthesis { }. When quoting, please, make sure to include complete bibliographical address and page numbers! Krzysztof Fordonski William Butler Yeats and the Irish Coinage {77} Non-literary activities of writers or poets seldom arise much interest of scholars unless they are of crucial importance or have a tangible influence on their work. They are usually even less interesting for coin-collectors whose attention may only rarely be drawn to a mysterious portrait on a foreign coin. And yet, sometimes when we dig deeper into writers' biographies we may find information that will tell us something more about coins from our own collections. Coins which seemed common may start to mean a little more to us. Public activities of the Irish poet and playwright William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) were so many and so various, especially at the turn of the centuries, they were so much connected with his literary work that even his chairing the Commission on Coinage, "his most notable contribution to the proceedings of the Seanad", as his biographer J. Norman Jeffares called it, is very often neglected. One might agree that these activities to which he applied his shaping skills as the Irish Manuscripts, Literary Copyright, the Lane pictures, the National Museum, the National Gallery and Art School to mention but a few, were, if compared to his literary achievements, of mediocre importance. The question must be asked therefore why such an eminent man, Nobel Prize winner, a poet universally recognized by his peers as the greatest poet writing in the English language of this century participated in such activities?
