TACOG Dialogue Transcript
1 TAKING A CHANCE ON GOD Transcription for Subtitles Mike Wallace (The Homosexuals): 00:04 Most Americans are repelled by the mere notion of homosexuality. The CBS News survey shows that two out of three Americans look upon homosexuals with disgust, discomfort or fear. Anita Bryant: 00:16 If homosexuals are allowed their civil rights, then so will prostitutes or thieves or anyone else. Jimmy Swaggart: 00:21 I've never seen a man in my life that I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain. If one ever looks at me like that I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died. In case anybody doesn't know, God calls it an abomination. It's an abom-NATION! It's an abom-NATION! Titles: 00:55 Silence To Speech Productions Presents A Film by Brendan Fay Taking a Chance on God Phil Donahue 01:19 You are now about to be bounced from the Jesuits. They’re the smartest, you study the longest, you’re the most powerful and now you’re being bounced. Larry King 01:30 How early on in life did you discover your own homosexuality? Bishop Gene Robinson: 01:36 There is nothing so powerful as one person living a life of integrity. That's exactly what John McNeill has done. That's what Harvey Milk did. I mean, name all of the great heroes of our movement and that is what is changing the world. 2 Andy Humm: 1:54 And it's not just among the Catholic church. -

FROM THE PRESS OF A. THEO. PATTERSON, PROGRESSIVE PRINTER INTRODUCTORY. (BARTER HENRY HARRISON is no more, save in memory. A cruel assassin took his life at a time when fair Fame upon him smiled her sweetest. As Mayor of the World's Fair City, together with his brilliant talents and past political achievements, ]ie had won the admiration of the World. This little book is not a biography such as should do full justice to the memory of the late Mayor Harrison. Such a work will no doubt be published, but its inevitable high price will place it beyond the reach of the masses of the people. This brief compilation, which I have put into book form, contains all the main facts connected with the tragedy, and other information worthy of preservation. If tf\\* book shall reach the masses of the people and be pre- served by them as a memento of the man who owed his great success to their loyal political support, then the author's desire shall be attained.

He had made a decision which must have been difficult for him. This young man would no longer sail the oceans of the world; he would instead depart forever from the deep and establish himself a thousand leagues from his homeland in a small town on the banks of the York River and take up his father’s business of merchant. Today, you can stand on this same beach and walk up this same hill, gaze about and see the results of the decision and think about your nation and your liberty, for Thomas Nelson became in a few short years the sire of a dynasty which had far reaching effects, not only on the history of Virginia but also, not many years later, on the newly created United States of America. -

Built by John Tayloe in 1758, the Richmond County, Virginia house is still occupied by direct descendents of the builder. It is a remarkable expression of the Palladian ideal. A central pavilion made of locally quarried materials and of rusticated Aquia Creek sandstone is connected to square dependencies by curved hyphens. The front and rear elevations were based on classic examples in eighteenth-century English pattern books. William Buckland was employed to provide the interior woodwork. Unfortunately his work was badly damaged M.

'A Large House on the Downs': Household Archaeology
‘A LARGE HOUSE ON THE DOWNS’: HOUSEHOLD ARCHAEOLOGY AND MIDDLE-CLASS GENTILITY IN EARLY 19TH-CENTURY FERRYLAND, NEWFOUNDLAND by © Duncan Williams A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland February 2019 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ii ABSTRACT This thesis uses a household-based archaeological approach to examine changing settlement patterns and lifeways associated with a period of crucial change on Newfoundland’s southern Avalon Peninsula – namely the first half of the 19th century. The period witnessed a significant increase in permanent residents (including a large influx of Irish Catholic immigrants), the downfall of the migratory fishery (and resulting shift to a family-based resident fishery), and radical political/governmental changes associated with increased colonial autonomy. As part of these developments, a new middle class emerged composed mainly of prosperous fishermen and individuals involved in local government. A micro-historical approach is used to analyze a single household assemblage in Ferryland, thus shedding light on the development of a resident ‘outport gentry’ and changing use of the landscape in this important rural centre. Though likely initially built by a member of Ferryland’s elite (Vice-Admiralty Judge William Carter), the major occupation of the structure, as seen archaeologically, appears to be represented by the tenancies of two upper middle-class families. Comparative analysis places this household and its social landscape in the broader community of Ferryland, as well as emergent upper middle-class society in North America. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes much to many individuals and organizations, and it will be difficult to properly acknowledge them all in the space of a couple pages. -
