This dissertation uses depictions of mass transit as points of departure into contextual examinations of three artists who repeatedly used passengers as subjects: Reginald Marsh (1898–1954), Donald Freeman (1908–1978), and Walker Evans (1903–1975). I argue that travel imagery attests to mobility as a common experience—an aspect of American life that viewers would recognize. Through a close examination of representations of mobility, it becomes clear that the motif appealed to these artists because it was simultaneously common and complicated—implicitly moving but explicitly stationary.

DEWEY AND EARL WARREN: THm RISE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY URBAN PROSECUTOR LAWRENCE FLEISCHER* INTRODUCTION The study of the American urban prosecutor, a key political-legal officer who carries the immense power of "prosecutorial discretion," has yet to attract serious historical research. A review of the published literature suggests the first crucial period of development occurred during the Jacksonian period when the office broke free of its traditional administrative role as the adjunct of the court. During this period the local urban prosecutor became an elected official.1 This unmoored the office from the anchor of the judiciary and set it sailing into the realm of politics. Essential- ly, this set the standard throughout the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth centuries of an office beholden to the electorate in the most intimate political sense, and established the office as the keystone of the criminal justice system.
