    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Iraq War Reader History Documents Opinions by Christopher Cerf The Iraq War Reader: History Documents Opinions by Christopher Cerf. Since President Bush declared the end to major combat operations on May 2, 2003, Americans have had a chance to revisit the official push for war in documentaries like BUYING THE WAR here on BILL MOYERS JOURNAL and in other reporting. Now Christopher Cerf and Victor Navasky have come out with a new book, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: OR HOW WE WON THE WAR IN IRAQ, compiling the innacurate predictions pro-war experts have made before and since the invasion. Dick Cheney at the American Enterprise Institute, 1994: Update Required. Sorry in order to watch this video clip you need the latest version of the free flash plug in. CLICK HERE to download it and then refresh this page. "It's a very serious organization," Cerf told THE TIMES, "that studies the works of experts in every field and comments upon it." Calling themselves "meta-experts," Cerf and Navasky have kept their tongues in their cheeks with their ongoing study of experts, and the results have been a hilarious, often biting, commentary on our media culture. The Institute's newest book, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, focuses on experts who assured the nation that war with Iraq would be, among other things, a "cakewalk" (Ken Adelman, THE WASHINGTON POST): "Military action will not last more that a week." -Bill O'Reilly, THE O'REILLY FACTOR "The next six months in Iraq will settle the case once and for all." -Thomas Friedman, THE NEW YORK TIMES "We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Saddam Hussein has been pursuing weapons of mass destruction." -Fred Barnes, Fox News "The evidence [Colin Powell] presented to the United Nations — some of it circumstantial, some of it absolutely bone-chilling in its detail — had to prove to anyone that Iraq not only hasn't accounted for its weapons of mass destruction but without a doubt still retains them.

  • HUNGARIAN STUDIES 11. No. 1. Nemzetközi Magyar Filológiai
    LUGOSI IN HOLLYWOOD: A HUNGARIAN ACTOR'S RISE AND FALL AS A MOVIE STAR KEVIN E. KELLY Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Gallipolis, Ohio, U.S.A. Béla Lugosi, the actor most identified with the role of Count Dracula, the Transylvanian vampire immortalized in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and in countless stage and screen adaptations, fled Hungary in 1919 to escape almost certain punishment and perhaps death for his brief and somewhat naïve involvement with the socialist movement that swept the country immediately after World War I. He left Europe two years later to seek the promise of a stage career and wealth offered in the United States. Fame and fortune he did find in the late 1920s with his portrayal of Dracula in the Broadway production of the popular Hamilton Deane-John L. Balderston version of the Stoker novel, and his star rose even further when he starred in the 1931 Hollywood film drawn from the novel and the play. Unfortunately, it would be the pinnacle of his professional career, and his stardom in the American film capital, would be brief. Years of roles in atrocious films and the ever-present shadow of Dracula would follow, culminating in near-unemploya- bility in the years preceding his death in 1956. While a number of Lugosi's countrymen, such as Paul Lukas and Victor Varconi, also emigrated to Hollywood and at first received starring roles as suave Continental types, they were eventually committed to character roles for the rest of their careers. Lugosi, however found to his everlasting regret that Dracula put him in a particular niche - as a star of horror films, with the resultant typecasting barring him from the varied roles that Lukas, for example, would enjoy as a supporting player for several decades.

  • Course Descriptions
    Course Information: Fall 2013 English 200+, Graduate Seminars ENG 0290-01 Graduate Seminar: Pro-Seminar Haber, J This course is required of all second-year students who entered without an M.A.; other English graduate students may audit individual classes, but they may not register for the course. Students will meet with a different member of the faculty every other week for an hour to discuss important topics in the areas of professionalization, pedagogy, and intellectual currents in our discipline. ENG 0291-01 Graduate Seminar: American Moderns Takayoshi, I The first three decades of the twentieth century saw the modernization of American literary culture. This process responded to ongoing transformations in society including urbanization, changes in sexual mores, gender relation, and race relation, America's deepening integration into the world system, and the mechanization and industrialization of American life in general. It was, however, also necessitated by more diffused changes in the ideological order, changes in the sense of time, space, and the self. Combined, all these changes made it imperative for American moderns to craft new techniques to render the lived experience of the American people as a modernizing nation. This seminar seeks to capture this development at its center, that is, at its linguistic level. How, across all major genres, was a new language invented and propagated—a complex of new tones, voices, textures, perspectives, and other compositional devices equal to the task of keeping literature relevant, meaningful, and useful in modern times? The seminar focuses on a generation of writers who were most directly responsible for bringing the literary language up to date, a variety of key players in American literary culture who were born, roughly, in the 1890s.

    PFDI CON VEN TION 2019 MANHATTAN, NY OCTOBER 11-15 EXPERIENCE A DIFFERENT SIDE OF NEW YORK This year, our convention is returning to the Big Apple. Our program in 2014 was incredible, but we couldn’t fit all the sights and sounds of NYC into one trip. This year, we’ll be treating you to an adventure that allows you explore a different side of the city. This year, our group will be staying on the Upper East Side. Our accommodations are located at the intersection of 61st and Park – the crossroads of the Upper East Side and Midtown – what many would say is the best of both worlds. We will be located close to Central Park and the shops on Madison Avenue – allowing you to stay in an area that allows you to easily explore all of the neighborhoods that New York has to o f f e r. THE PINNACLE OF FAMILY OWNERSHIP Because the deathcare industry values family ownership, we could think of nothing better than to seek out a luxury hotel with strong family ties. The Tisch Family – a powerhouse family in both the worlds of business and philanthropy – owns the Loews Regency Hotel. Their name is ubiquitous in New York City, with several landmarks bearing their namesake and continuing their legacy. The Loews Regency Hotel is conveniently located across from the company’s headquarters, which will provide us with the opportunity to meet with their team and draw from the expertise they’ve acquired in their industry.
