Where you hit and shove and grunt and eat that dirt and learn what it’s like to take a three-point stance in the snow. If you’re on the Notre Dame offensive line, you do something else, too. You make holes...big holes , really BIG HOLES, in fact. Irish co-captain George Kunz, playing his last game in ND stadium today, discusses the role of an offensive right tackle on page 6.

    FREE ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH PDF Jacqueline Susann | 384 pages | 01 Jan 1998 | Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press | 9780802135452 | English | New York, United States Once Is Not Enough (film) - Wikipedia As IMDb celebrates its 30th Once is Not Enough, we have six shows to get you ready for those pivotal years of your life Get some streaming picks. Title: Once Is Not Enough January Wayne, the sheltered, much-loved daughter of a formerly successful Hollywood producer, goes home to New York after a lengthy stint in a Swiss hospital. Mike Wayne has fallen on hard times and decides to marry for money. January is an innocent young woman who searches for her place in the world. Pursued by her rich new stepmother's playboy of a cousin, she instead falls hard for a much older man, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who's a surrogate for her father, before tragedy strikes. Jacqueline Susann's glamorous, emotional, highly personal novels always lost something in their translation to the screen. Once Is Not Enough is another prime example. But it doesn't have the unintended hilarity of Valley of the Dolls, nor the compelling sleaziness of The Love Machine. The most outrageous and memorable elements of the book Once is Not Enough excised completely, and the result is two hours of sudsy romantic nothingness. Without the pills, vitamin shots, wild sex including an acid-fueled orgyand disturbing violence that infused the compelling novel, the story is as flat as week-old ginger ale. It's a slick production with an all-star cast, including the engaging Deborah Raffin as January, but the material is awful.

    ISSN 2373–874X (online) 017-01/2016EN Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp Orlando Alba 1 Topic: Spanish language and participation of Spanish-American players in Major League Baseball. Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Clara González Tosat Hispanic Digital Newspapers in the United States Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 016-12/2015EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR016-12/2015EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.

    Image of PR Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 1 The Image of the Public Relations Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 Joe Saltzman1 Professor of Journalism Director, The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction In this article, we examine images of public relations practitioners in film and television appearing in more than 327 English-speaking films and television programs from 1901 to 2011.2 This is the largest study of its kind ever attempted and one of the first to include the image of the public relations practitioner in television programs. Many public relations practitioners believe the image of the publicist and the PR professional is one of the most negative in history. But this analysis indicates that the images of the PR practitioner are far more varied and even more positive than previously thought. Literature Review There have been previous studies on the image of the PR practitioner in film. They include Karen Miller’s landmark study in 1999 (which included film and print images),3 Larry Tavcar’s 1993 look at 17 films depicting public relations in the movies,4 Donn James Tilson’s brief look at public relations and Hollywood in 2003,5 and Carol Ames’ comprehensive follow-up to Miller’s study in 2010.6 In addition, Mordecai Lee studied images of the public relations practitioner in government and public administration, sampling 20 films from 1944 to 2000 in a 2001 study,7 and in a 2009 update8 added seven more films from 1996 to 2008.

  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art 50 YEARS of METROPOLITAN
    The Metropolitan Museum of Art For Release: Immediate Contact: Harold Holzer Bernice Kwok-Gabel 50 YEARS OF METROPOLITAN MUSEUM'S COSTUME INSTITUTE GALA With this year's "Party of the Year" to benefit The Costume Institute — to be held on December 7 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art ~ the gala event celebrates its 50th anniversary with Miuccia Prada, Paula Cussi, and Pia Getty as Co-Chairs . For five decades, the Party of the Year has defined fashion's role in New York City, philanthropy, the arts, and society. The theme of the 50th anniversary celebration will be Cubism and Fashion, which is the subject of the exhibition to be held in The Costume Institute from December 10, 1998, through March 14, 1999. The exhibition examines the properties of Cubism in art and its influence in fashion from 1908 to the present day. The Cubism and Fashion exhibition and Benefit for The Costume Institute are made possible by Prada. In 1948, the fashion industry, seeking to provide an annual supplement to the endowment of The Costume Institute ~ which was newly located at The Metropolitan Museum of Art ~ launched a benefit ball called the "Party of the Year." In a history now approaching the half century mark, the Party of the Year has been the grandest social event of the Manhattan calendar. Beginning with a midnight supper party at the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center on November 18, 1948, for $50 per person, to its present format as a gala dinner at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Party of the Year has been the high-style barometer for New York fashion, art, and social life, now a $2,000- per-person dinner.

Research funding was partially supported by the Graduate Division of the University of California, Riverside in the form of the Dissertation Year Fellowship. I am also, without question, indebted to the Costume Society of American for their exceptional support. As the recipient of the Stella Blum Student Research Award, I received funding which allowed me to research my dissertation at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Archives of the Fashion Institute of Technology, the Manuscript and Archives Division of the New York Public Library, and the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I also received funding to attend the National Symposium of the CSA in Boston in May 2011, and there received many suggestions and much needed encouragement. Additionally, through the Western Regional Branch of the Costume Society, I received the Jack Hanford Summer Internship Award. I received the funding to support a summer-long internship at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art during which I learned much about the history of western fashion and had the ability to research my own project.
