  • Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003
    Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr. 26, 2003 DALLAS—Big 12 Conference teams had 10 of the first 62 selections in the 35th annual NFL “common” draft (67th overall) Saturday and added a total of 13 for the opening day. The first-day tallies in the 2003 NFL draft brought the number Big 12 standouts taken from 1995-03 to 277. Over 90 Big 12 alumni signed free agent contracts after the 2000-02 drafts, and three of the first 13 standouts (six total in the first round) in the 2003 draft were Kansas State CB Terence Newman (fifth draftee), Oklahoma State DE Kevin Williams (ninth) Texas A&M DT Ty Warren (13th). Last year three Big 12 standouts were selected in the top eight choices (four of the initial 21), and the 2000 draft included three alumni from this conference in the first 20. Colorado, Nebraska and Florida State paced all schools nationally in the 1995-97 era with 21 NFL draft choices apiece. Eleven Big 12 schools also had at least one youngster chosen in the eight-round draft during 1998. Over the last six (1998-03) NFL postings, there were 73 Big 12 Conference selections among the Top 100. There were 217 Big 12 schools’ grid representatives on 2002 NFL opening day rosters from all 12 members after 297 standouts from league members in ’02 entered NFL training camps—both all-time highs for the league. Nebraska (35 alumni) was third among all Division I-A schools in 2002 opening day roster men in the highest professional football configuration while Texas A&M (30) was among the Top Six in total NFL alumni last autumn.

    Quan el 1934 Madeleine Carroll va trepitjar per primera vegada la Costa Brava, aquesta actriu anglesa era encara poc coneguda fora de les pantalles britàniques. L’imminent pas cap a Hollywood li va fer encetar una carrera fulgurant impulsada pel treball amb alguns dels més prestigiosos directors del moment: John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, William Dieterle, Cecil B. de Mille… Va ser en aquesta època quan les nostres comarques es van convertir en refugi de l’estrella entre rodatge i rodat- ge, però la tranquil·litat que més anhelava es va veure interrompuda per l’esclat de la Guerra Civil, que la va mantenir allunyada de la seva propietat catalana. En poc temps la mateixa ombra de la guerra s’estendria per tot Europa. Madeleine Carroll no va voler ser una simple espectadora del conflicte i va decidir-se a parti- cipar activament per recuperar la pau i els valors democràtics i es va implicar d’una manera molt personal com a membre de la Creu Roja, per donar suport a les vícti- mes més directes de la guerra, sobretot als nens orfes francesos i als soldats ame- ricans ferits. Ara, aprofitant el centenari del seu naixement i valent-nos d’alguns objectes i docu- ments del llegat de l’actriu, que ella mateixa conservava com els seus records més preuats, us proposem fer un recorregut per descobrir els diferents aspectes de la vida de Madeleine Carroll, des del més glamourós al més compromès. UNA ACTRIU ANGLESA A HOLLYWOOD Poc temps després de descobrir la passió pel teatre a la universitat, Madeleine Carroll (West Bromwich, Birmingham, 1906) que exercia de professora de francès, va viatjar a Londres a estudiar interpretació, obviant l’oposició familiar.

  • John Buchan Wrote the Thirty-Nine Steps While He Was Ill in Bed with a Duodenal Ulcer, an Illness Which Remained with Him All His Life
    John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was ill in bed with a duodenal ulcer, an illness which remained with him all his life. The novel was his first ‘shocker’, as he called it — a story combining personal and political dramas. The novel marked a turning point in Buchan's literary career and introduced his famous adventuring hero, Richard Hannay. He described a ‘shocker’ as an adventure where the events in the story are unlikely and the reader is only just able to believe that they really happened. The Thirty-Nine Steps is one of the earliest examples of the 'man-on-the-run' thriller archetype subsequently adopted by Hollywood as an often-used plot device. In The Thirty-Nine Steps, Buchan holds up Richard Hannay as an example to his readers of an ordinary man who puts his country’s interests before his own safety. The story was a great success with the men in the First World War trenches. One soldier wrote to Buchan, "The story is greatly appreciated in the midst of mud and rain and shells, and all that could make trench life depressing." Richard Hannay continued his adventures in four subsequent books. Two were set during the war when Hannay continued his undercover work against the Germans and their allies The Turks in Greenmantle and Mr Standfast. The other two stories, The Three Hostages and The Island of Sheep were set in the post war period when Hannay's opponents were criminal gangs. There have been several film versions of the book; all depart substantially from the text, for example, by introducing a love interest absent from the original novel.
