  • How a Failed Assassination Attempt on Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ended in the Death of Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago
    Review Article Clinics in Surgery Published: 07 Jan, 2019 How A Failed Assassination Attempt on Franklin Delano Roosevelt Ended in the Death of Anton Cermak, Mayor of Chicago Theodore N Pappas* Department of Surgery, Duke University, Durham NC, North Carolina, USA Abstract On February 15 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was returning from a Florida fishing trip and passed through the Biscayne Park area of Miami to give a brief speech. The mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, was in Florida on vacation and planned to meet the president-elect just after the speech. Moments after Cermak and Roosevelt shook hands, several shots were fired. A 32-year-old bricklayer, Giuseppe Zangara, was attempting to assassinate Roosevelt but missed and hit Cermak and four other bystanders. Cermak was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where he died 19 days later. This manuscript reviews the health care provided to the mayor during those 19 days. Although the cause of death has been contested, Anton Cermak probably recovered from his gunshot wounds but died of complicated ulcerative colitis. Introduction On February 15 1933, president-elect, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR), was returning from a fishing trip off Miami. He and his security detail were passing through the Biscayne Park area of Miami for an announced stop where he was to give a brief speech. At the same time the Mayor of Chicago, Anton Cermak, was on vacation in Florida and wanted to meet with the president-elect. He contacted Roosevelt’s team and was instructed to wait at the grandstand area of the Bay front Park where the president-elect would be able to meet with the mayor.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Soldier at Heart: The Life of Smedley Butler, 1881 - 1940 by Eric Dennis Myers Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Joan Waugh, Chair The dissertation is a historical biography of Smedley Darlington Butler (1881-1940), a decorated soldier and critic of war profiteering during the 1930s. A two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner and son of a powerful congressman, Butler was one of the most prominent military figures of his era. He witnessed firsthand the American expansionism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, participating in all of the major conflicts and most of the minor ones. Following his retirement in 1931, Butler became an outspoken critic of American intervention, arguing in speeches and writings against war profiteering and the injustices of expansionism. His critiques represented a wide swath of public opinion at the time – the majority of Americans supported anti-interventionist policies through 1939. Yet unlike other members of the movement, Butler based his theories not on abstract principles, but on experiences culled from decades of soldiering: the terrors and wasted resources of the battlefield, ! ""! ! the use of the American military to bolster corrupt foreign governments, and the influence of powerful, domestic moneyed interests.

  • ASSASSINS a Revue in One Act
    ASSASSINS a revue in one act. Book by John Weidman, from an idea by Charles Gilbert Junior. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Produced at Playwrights Horizons, New York, 27 January, 1991 (25 perfs) with Jace Alexander (Oswald), Victor Garber (Booth), Annie Golden ("Squeaky" Fromme) and Lee Wilkof (Byck). Produced at the Donmar Warehouse, London, 29 October 1992 with Gareth Snook, David Firth, Cathryn Bradshaw and Ciaran Hinds. Playwrights Horizons - Off-Broadway 27 January, 1991 - (25 perfs) STORY The evening begins with "Hail To The Chief" - not in its familiar stirringly patriotic certainty, but eerily arranged for a carnival calliope, and not to announce the entrance of the President but of his would-be assassins. We are at a fairground, in front of a shooting gallery which boasts a unique entertainment: "Shoot the President - win a Prize". As the Proprietor ballyhoos his sideshow, eight figures come forward one by one to chance their luck, assassins drawn from over a century of American history. They are a disparate group, one dressed in a 19th century frock coat, another as a department store Santa. But each is handed his own distinctive gun - the preferred means of ultimate political protest in the United States. "EVERYBODY'S GOT THE RIGHT to be happy", the Proprietor asserts. Everybody's got the right to their dreams: isn't that the American way? The last to arrive is John Wilkes Booth, who promptly uses his newly-acquired weapon on President Lincoln. As the fatal shots ring out, the Balladeer steps out to sing THE BALLAD OF BOOTH - "a handsome devil who decided to take his bad reviews out on his Chief of State.

  • Assassins an Application to Direct by Anastasia Foley and Zoe Jasper Part Two: the Play
    Assassins An Application to Direct by Anastasia Foley and Zoe Jasper Part Two: The Play 1. Provide a brief summary/synopsis of the play you are proposing. Assassins is a musical written in 1990 with music and lyrics by Stephen ​ Sondheim and book by John Weidman. The play examines the men and women who have assassinated or attempted to assassinate U.S. presidents. Since all of the assassins come from different time periods, the show is set in a limbo like carnival in which all of the assassins, alive or dead, interact and exist. The show begins with the Proprietor of the carnival distributing guns and ammunition to Leon Czolgosz, Sara Jane Moore, Samuel Byck, John Wilkes Booth, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, John Hinckley, Giuseppe Zangara, and Charles Guiteau (“Everybody’s Got the Right”). At the end of the scene, the audience hears “Hail to the Chief” and an offstage gunshot as John Wilkes Booth exits. The scene shifts to the Balladeer singing Booth’s story (“The Ballad of Booth”). Trapped in a barn, a wounded Booth is forcing his accomplice David Herold to document his motivations for assassinating Abraham Lincoln as threats are heard offstage from outside. As Booth dictates to Herold, the Balladeer counters that his motivations were more personal. Herold finally surrenders to the attackers outside and Booth is forced to throw the diary to the Balladeer in hopes that she will tell his story. Booth expresses that this will not be enough the fix the country and commits suicide as the barn is burned to the ground.
