Doctor Pessimistic About Wallace Walking SILVER SPRING, MD. (AP)--One of George C. Wallace's doctors said last night there is "less than a 50-50 chance" the Alabama gover- nor ever will walk again. Even if he can walk, it will probably be only with the aid of leg braces, the doctor said. Meanwhile, Wallace continued in good spir- its, chatting with hospital visitors and ea- gerly reading newspaper accounts of his pri- mary election victories in Maryland and Mi- chigan. Dr. James Galbraith, a University of Alaba- ma neurosurgeon who has been attending Wal- lace, said a bullet which cut him down at a campaign rally Monday is lodged in the spine but is causing no pressure on the spinal cord. ie said the bullet wedged itself between two vertebrae, protruding into the bony canal that shields the nerve cord. U. S. NAVAL BASE GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA . T d ty Thursday, May 18, 1972 The forces of wounded Gov. George C. Wallace began assembling a lineup of stand-in campaigners yesterday, seeking to capitalize X. on a pair of primary victories. Sen. Hubert 11. Humphrey renewed his suspended race for the White House, saying that despite the shooting of the Alabama governor "it's only right for us to go on with our work." Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota planned to resume his cam- paigning today, in Los Angeles, then in Oregon. Those victories installed Wallace in second. place, behind Mc- Race Govern, in national convention delegate committments. The Maryland and Michigan triumphs represented the peak of the Wallace campaign of Democratic protest, but his managers already were looking for new political openings. Charles Snider, national director of the Wallace campaign, said Governor's For4 stand-ins for the governor were being lined up, and that one of them would be his wife, Cornelia, 33, who was at his side when he was shot. Assemble Stand-i Snider said former governor Hayden Burns of Florida also would join in the campaign effort, and noted that Lt. Gov.

Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. t the center of Alexandria’s connection to rock and folk music fame was John Phillips. Born in South A Carolina, John and his family lived in Del Ray for much of his childhood. He attended George Washington High School, like Cass Elliot and Jim Morrison, graduating in 1953. He met and then married his high school sweetheart, Susie Adams, with whom he had two children, Jeffrey and Mackenzie, who later became famous in her own right. Phillips and Adams lived in the Belle Haven area after high school, but John left his young family at their Fairfax County home to start a folk music group called the Journeymen in New York City. The new group included lifelong friend and collaborator Philip Bondheim, later known as Scott McKenzie, also from Del Ray. The young men had met through their mothers, who were close friends. While in New York, John’s romantic interests turned elsewhere and he told Susie he would not be returning to her. Soon after, he married his second wife, Michelle Gilliam, who was barely out of her teens. They had one daughter, Chynna, who also gained fame as a singer. Gilliam and Phillips joined two former members of a group called the Mugwumps, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot to form The Mamas and the Papas in 1965. This photo from that time shows Gilliam and Doherty to the left, Phillips and Elliot to the right, and fellow Alexandrian Bondheim at the center.

  • Roller Derby: Past, Present, Future RESEARCH PAPER for ASU’S Global Sport Institute

    Roller Derby: Past, Present, Future RESEARCH PAPER for ASU’S Global Sport Institute

    Devoney Looser, Foundation Professor of English Department of English, Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-1401 [email protected] Roller Derby: Past, Present, Future RESEARCH PAPER for ASU’s Global Sport Institute SUMMARY Is roller derby a sport? Okay, sure, but, “Is it a legitimate sport?” No matter how you’re disposed to answer these questions, chances are that you’re asking without a firm grasp of roller derby’s past or present. Knowledge of both is crucial to understanding, or predicting, what derby’s future might look like in Sport 2036. From its official origins in Chicago in 1935, to its rebirth in Austin, TX in 2001, roller derby has been an outlier sport in ways admirable and not. It has long been ahead of the curve on diversity and inclusivity, a little-known fact. Even players and fans who are diehard devotees—who live and breathe by derby—have little knowledge of how the sport began, how it was different, or why knowing all of that might matter. In this paper, which is part of a book-in-progress, I offer a sense of the following: 1) why roller derby’s past and present, especially its unusual origins, its envelope-pushing play and players, and its waxing and waning popularity, matters to its future; 2) how roller derby’s cultural reputation (which grew out of roller skating’s reputation) has had an impact on its status as an American sport; 3) how roller derby’s economic history, from family business to skater-owned-and- operated non-profits, has shaped opportunity and growth; and 4) why the sport’s past, present, and future inclusivity, diversity, and counter-cultural aspects resonate so deeply with those who play and watch.

    Office of Historic Alexandria City of Alexandria, Virginia Out of the Attic At GW High School, some California dreamin’ Alexandria Times, January 28, 2016 Image: Ellen Naomi Cohen, known as Mama Cass Elliot. Photo, Office of Historic Alexandria. nother of the legendary musical performers that attended George Washington High School in Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood was A Ellen Naomi Cohen, who became known the world over as Mama Cass Elliot. Cohen was born in Baltimore in 1941 to the children of Russian immigrants. The family moved to Alexandria in her childhood and rented an apartment at 1502 Commonwealth Ave. Cohen did her best to fit in at GW, and adopted the nickname “Cass” possibly after the well-known comedian of the time, Peggy Cass. At the school she became interested in the performing arts and during the summer of her senior year she was cast in a production of the comedic farce, “The Boy Friend” at the Owings Mills Playhouse in Maryland. There she played the minor role of a French nurse, but her vocal talents lifted the production immensely with her solo rendition of “It’s nicer, much nicer, in Nice.” Cass left high school before graduation in 1961 and moved to New York where she assumed the stage name Elliot in memory of a recently departed friend. She worked at The Showplace nightclub in Greenwich Village as a singing coat check attendant, and could often be found performing at late-night “open mike” at area bars. In 1962, after losing out to Barbra Streisand for a part in the Broadway production of “I Can Get it for You Wholesale,” she returned to the Washington area to attend American University.

    Gb 1456 Thomas

    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.
