ASA Review May-June 1950 5 REF ID:A66161 Becalmed Welcome Sight - . f:.,. i.... ' ;··#{' '-~\ ~- REF ID:A66161 A fJREET/NfJ FROM The Chief The resumption of publication of the Army Security Agency Review affords a most welcome opportunity for me to extend greetings to each individual member of the Agency and to share with you the benefits gained by closer association in our common interests. When the review first appeared three years ago, the initial response through the Agency was most enthusiastic, and it was with regret that circumstances beyond our control forced us to discontinue its publication. The purpose of the ASA Review remains the same as before: to provide the Army Security Agency with a semi-technical bi­ monthly publication for articles on the sub­ ject matter of the work and activities of the Agency insofar as the classification CON­ FIDENTIAL wlll permit. As Chief, Army Security Agency, I am interested primarily in two obj e ct iv e s: maintaining excellent morale and improving the high technical standards which the Agency has achieved. Morale is a most important factor in all military and techni­ cal services, and only through improving our technical skills can we enhance the quality and value of our work. General Bradley once said, "Good ideas must not be kept secret; let's share them." By putting our ideas together through the medium of the ASA Review, by learning something of the way and manner in which we live, work, and play in the various installations, a further contri­ bution can be made toward the future success of the Agency by the publication of the ASA Review -- our own service journal.

When Two Become One: Sacramental Woes And Theological Anxiety In Medieval Representations Of Marriage Abstract This dissertation traces the long, winding, and problematic road along which marriage became a sacrament of the Church. In so doing, it identifies several key problems with marriage’s ability to fulfill the sacramental criteria laid out in Peter Lombard’s Sentences: that a sacrament must signify a specific form of divine grace, and that it must directly bring about the grace that it signifies. While, on the basis of Ephesians 5, theologians had no problem identifying the symbolic power of marriage with the spiritual union of Christ and the Church, they never fully succeeded in locating a form of effective grace, placing immense stress upon marriage’s status as a signifier. As a result, theologians and canonists found themselves unable to deal with several social aspects of marriage that threatened this symbolic capacity, namely concubinage and the remarriage of widows and widowers.

  • Rebelling Against the Tragic Plot: the Novels of Frances Burney
    Rebelling against the Tragic Plot: The Novels of Frances Burney Octavia Yee-Kei Tam PhD University of York English September 2017 Rebelling against the Tragic Plot 2 Abstract This dissertation contributes to studies of Frances Burney’s prose fiction, by establishing the importance of the combined influence of theatrical models and Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa in shaping Burney’s novels. Reading the collection of novels by Burney as a rebellion against the tragic plot into which the acclaimed heroine of Richardson’s second novel is ensnared, it argues that Burney’s works blend together dramatic and novelistic conventions to produce narratives with ambivalently successful conclusions. It shows, through analyses of all four of Burney’s novels, that the author positions turning points with sentimental crises and peculiar circumstances within the narratives as dramatic climaxes which allow the heroines temporarily to overlook conventional social expectations of women to make important decisions to help them make positive changes in their lives before they resign control once again. In allowing female characters these small freedoms to act for themselves, I argue that there is an underlying message in Burney’s fiction that it is necessary for women to become more assertive in order to gain more conscious control of their destiny. The main thesis of my work is that it is with incremental adjustments in female conduct, and with the blending of the comic and tragic forms, that Burney’s fiction dramatizes the ways in which women make the most of their circumstances and resources to find peace, if not happiness, in a dignified manner in a society which restricts their freedom of choice and expression.

Outlandish Fictions: The Eighteenth-Century French Novel and Marriage on Women's Terms Abstract ABSTRACT OUTLANDISH FICTIONS: THE EIGHTEENTH-CENTRY FRENCH NOVEL AND MARRIAGE ON WOMEN'S TERMS Ekaterina R. Alexandrova Joan DeJean Focusing on plots that depict life after marriage, this dissertation studies the novel as a medium for imagining a spousal relationship transformed to promote new positive social, political, and familial roles and possibilities for women. I re-establish these fictions' thrust as primarily concerned with individual freedom and fulfillment, atherr than with affection in marriage. I begin by exploring the relationship between the rising appeal of conjugal sentiment and the novel, situating the genre within the general context of social and political shift in eighteenth-century France. Viewing emergent subversive marriage plots in light of the founding seventeenth-century tradition tying the novel genre to women's interests, I suggest that attempts to contain fictions deemed outlandish" " may have warped our present vision of the "heroine's plot," or the range of roles and experiences imagined for women by Enlightenment novelists.

  • The William Harris Papers
    The William Harris Papers Marymount Manhattan College 221 East 71st Street New York, New York 10021 Archives Collection #001 Processed October 2, 2001 Mary Elizabeth Brown William Balber (Billy) Harris was born April 9, 1951, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He was an alumnus of the Lawrenceville School and of Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. Upon graduation, he moved to New York. At one time, he lived on Reade Street in Tribeca, and at the time of his death, he lived in #7C at 160 Front Street near the Fulton Fish Market.1 He divided his time between two kinds of writing, one being business writing. He was a staff writer for Forbes Magazine and Institutional Investor and managing editor of Treasury and Risk Management and The Daily Deal. He was also a drama and dance critic. He became interested in the theater in Pittsburgh, where he worked designing props under Peter Chandler of Periwig Productions, and at the Kirby Arts Center. He recalled coming to New York from Pittsburgh at the age of 17 to pay $9 to see a performance of Hair.2 He was the theater editor for the SoHo Weekly News and managing editor of Theatre Crafts Magazine. He also wrote articles, criticism and reviews for Art Forum, Brooklyn Bridge, The New York Times, The Newark Star Ledger, and The Village Voice. It was in the course of this work that he amassed his collection of papers. Mr. Harris died of a massive coronary July 27, 2000, in New York City at the age of 49. He was survived by his mother Vivienne, of Pittsburgh; his sister, Ellen, who lived in Denver, and his brother John, a physician in the San Francisco area.
