After being graduated from Salinas High School, he attended Stanford University intermittently between 1920 and 1925. After leaving Stanford, Steinbeck moved to New York City, where he worked as a construction laborer and wrote Guide to the Wells Fargo Special Collections M1063 2 Steinbeck Collection, 1892-1981 briefly for the Hearst-owned The American newspaper. In 1926, Steinbeck returned to California. He lived and worked during the late 1920s in the Lake Tahoe area, where he wrote his first novel, Cup of Gold, published by Robert M. McBride, New York, in 1929. The 1930s were a period of extraordinary productivity for John Steinbeck. He wrote eight novels during the decade, beginning in 1932 with The Pastures of Heaven (New York : Brewer, Warren & Putnam), through his first commercial and critical success with Tortilla Flat (New York: Covici-Friede, 1935), and concluding in 1939 with The Grapes of Wrath, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1940.

Steinbeck wrote six books and wrote the screenplays for several earlier works, including the production of The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, and Viva Zapata! Steinbeck continued to be productive throughout his life, producing 26 books and countless stories, dramatic adaptations, editorials and pieces of journalism.

  • Federal Pharmaceutical Regulation and the Foundations of the War on Drugs
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Protecting Some and Policing Others: Federal Pharmaceutical Regulation and the Foundations of the War on Drugs A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Matthew R. June EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2018 2 © Copyright by Matthew R. June 2018 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation demonstrates how related initiatives to reform narcotics laws and protect consumers from dangerous medicines – taking hold in the 1950s and institutionalized in the mid- 1960s – created the foundation for a massive expansion of federal policing of illicit drugs. Centered on the history of the Food and Drug Administration and congressional use of its power to regulate commerce, the dissertation argues federal programs designed to protect consumers of legitimate pharmaceuticals ultimately constructed the authority to classify and police unapproved uses and users of all drugs. Grounding a history of policy, policing, and regulation in the shifting social and cultural climate of the long 1960s, this dissertation recovers the legal underpinnings of the contemporary carceral state. Many still argue that President Richard Nixon launched the war on drugs in 1971 as a part of his “law and order” backlash politics. This work tells a different story in which the modern drug war emerged from mid-century consumer protection politics and the legal reforms they inspired. Charting the institutional and constitutional basis for the federal war on drugs also highlights how, in the past half century, the federal government has taken power intended to regulate corporations and reapplied it towards the policing of people.

D. S. Greenway, Life Magazine, October 19721 In the January 1968 issue of the Washingtonian magazine, the son of the great American novelist John Steinbeck made his professional journalistic debut with the publication of a controversial article, “Th e Importance of Being Stoned in Vietnam.” John Steinbeck IV, who served as a roving correspondent for the Pacifi c Stars and Stripes, wrote that marijuana of a potent quality was grown naturally in Vietnam, sold by farmers at a fraction of the cost than in the United States, and could be obtained “more easily than a package of Lucky Strikes cigarettes.” He estimated that up to 75 percent of soldiers in Vietnam got high regularly. “Th e average soldier sees that for all intents and purposes, the entire country is stoned,” Steinbeck observed. “To enforce a prohibition against smoking the plant [in Vietnam] would be like trying to prohibit the inhalation of smog in Los Angeles.”2 Although his words were evocative, Steinbeck exaggerated the scope of drug abuse in Vietnam for political purposes.

    This dissertation has been microfilmed exactly as received 69-11,698 RODGERS, Charles Andrew, 1932- THE HISTORY OF THE HARTMAN THEATRE, 1938-1963. The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1968 Speech-Theater University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE HISTORY OF THE HARTMAN THEATRE 1938 - 1963 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charles Andrew Rodgers, B„Sc0, M.A„ ****** The Ohio State University 1968 Approved by p/ p s Adviser PREFACE The popular, even the scholarly, concept of the American theatre has tended to center about theatrical ac­ tivities in New York City0 Only recently, with increasing emphasis placed upon educational, community, and summer theatre, has there arisen increasing recognition of the theatrical world outside New York. And though the ex­ istence of the road has long been acknowledged, a substan­ tial part of that theatre history--made when the theatre’s most important personalities in their original roles were criss-crossing America--still remains to be written. In the professional theatre of the nineteen sixties the road is confined to a relatively small group of larger cities privileged to view Broadway successes and mediocrities Columbus, Ohio is one of these cities. Over the years Columbus has had many legitimate playhouses (Market House, Comstock's Theatre, The Great Southern Theatre), but the Hartman Theatre, since its opening in 1911, has been the busiest and most important theatre in central Ohio. From its opening until the present except for a period of dark­ ness between 1963 and 1964, the Hartman has made profes­ sional theatre available to Ohio audiences.
