PULITZERJEVA NAGRADA ZA KNJIŽEVNOST (Pulitzer Prize) Je Prestižna Ameriška Nagrada, Ki Jo Za Leposlovje Podeljujejo Od Leta 1948 PULITZERJEVA NAGRADA ZA KNJIŽEVNOST (Pulitzer Prize) Je prestižna ameriška nagrada, ki jo za leposlovje podeljujejo od leta 1948. Joseph Pulitzer, strastni časopisni založnik, vizionar in novinar je v svoji oporoki iz leta 1904 predlagal ustanovitev nagrad kot spodbudo za odličnost. Je prvi, ki je pozval k usposabljanju novinarjev na univerzitetni ravni. Nagrade podeljujejo iz področja novinarstva, literature in skladateljstva.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • 5Th IARC Cancer and Society Lecture
    th 5 IARC Cancer and Society Lecture Tuesday 6 February 2018, 10h45 (Auditorium) Professor Daniel R. Fagin Director, Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program (SHERP) Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, New York University, USA "From Toms River to Today: Science, Spin and Storytelling in Dark Times" Programme 10:45 – 11:00, Director's News 11:00 – 11:45, 5th IARC Cancer and Society Lecture 11:45 – 11:55, Questions session 11:55 – 12:00, Presentation of IARC Certificate Abstract The saga of the Toms River childhood cancer cluster carries profound lessons for today's scientists and advocates. The story that unfolded over decades in a small New Jersey town is both a cautionary tale and a possible path forward out of our current predicament, in which science is viewed with intense suspicion, tribal identification too often trumps evidence, and corporate power reigns supreme to the detriment of the public good. Then and now, researchers, clinicians, policymakers and the media can make progress only by maximizing transparency, leveraging networks, prioritizing trust-building and, most importantly, communicating effectively.
