  • Michael Preece
    Deutscher FALCON CREST - Fanclub July 31, 2009 The First Director: MICHAEL PREECE Talks about the Falcon Crest Première and Other Memories Interview by THOMAS J. PUCHER (German FALCON CREST Fan Club) I sent Michael Preece, who directed ten episodes of Falcon Crest, particularly the series première, a request for an interview via e-mail, and he replied immediately so we scheduled a phone conversation for July 31, 2009. He has been one of the most successful directors of U.S. TV shows for more than 30 years. His directing credits include many hit series from the 1970’s, ’80’s and ’90’s, such as The Streets of San Francisco, Knots Landing, Fantasy Island, Flamingo Road, Trapper John, M.D., The Incredible Hulk, T.J. Hooker, Riptide, Stingray, Jake and the Fatman, MacGyver, Hunter, Renegade, Seventh Heaven and Walker, Texas Ranger as well as — last but not least — Dallas. Getting to Work on Falcon Crest Michael stepped right into the middle of how much he enjoyed working on Falcon Crest, particularly with Jane Wyman. He said she wanted him to direct more often, but he was extremely busy with Dallas: “I had to go to Jane Wyman and tell her that I couldn’t work on the show.” He left no doubt that directing Dallas did not leave much room for anything else because he directed approximately 70 episodes of the series. But he enjoyed doing an episode of Falcon Crest from time to time. “So how did you get your first assignment for Falcon Crest, the first episode, In His Father’s House?” I asked.

  • And What It Means
    WASHINGTON ( AP)--Henry A. Kissinger said yesterday Hanoi has balked at President Nixo n's Vietnam peace proposals, presented in a nationwide ele- vision speech Tuesday night, on two counts: the fine print on blueprints for a U.S. wit idrawal and the election of a new Saigon government. Kissinger, w ho was Nixon's clandestine go-between in 12 just-disclosed H IXOH S secret Paris c conferences with key figures from Hanoi, said at a rare news conference he still hopes for a negotiating breakthrough. He called th e Presidents eight-point proposal a flexible one, not a take-it-or-leal ve-it proposition. The Presiden t's far-travelled assistant for national security affairs said Nixon, by publicizing 26 months of secret negotiations in an address peaceto the nation, may spur North Vietnam to resume talks "on a more urgent basis.", Nixon unfold ed a peace offer that includes an Indochina cease-fire, withdrawal of American forces and release of war pris- oners, new elections in South Vietnam with the Viet Cong participating, and resignation of the Saigon government a month before the internationally supervised balloting. proposal. Under the Nixon plan, all these developments would take place within six months of a Washington-Hanoi agreement. The basics of the proposal have ie an in 7hanni's hands since Octoberr, Nixon said, bu t Hanoi has given no response. Radio Hanoi, in a quick response to Nixon's address, said it contained nothing new an d insisted that the U.S. position was "not changed in any way." But the broadcast stopped short of rejecting the Chief Executive's proposals.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Queering Black Gay Historiography: Performance, (Mis)Identifications, and Possibilities A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre/Performance Studies by Thomas Howard Fitzgerald 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Queering Black Gay Historiography: Performance, (Mis)Identifications, and Possibilities. by Thomas Howard Fitzgerald Doctor of Philosophy in Theatre and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Sue Ellen Case, Chair This dissertation will examine black gay theatre/ performance in the United States from 1970 to 2010. My intent is to establish a genealogy of black gay performance by situating performance strategies of visibility employed by black gay men in the late 20th century utilizing various performance genres such as revue, theatrical biography, the “event” and history play. Specifically, I am interested that this writing act as a discursive in interrogating the historiography of the tactics of black gay visibility in contrast to and in concert with traditional heterosexual black masculinities where the overall effort was to distinguish a queer black aesthetic separate from the white gay project. My research is necessarily involved with both gay and black performances in this period, since a study of black gay performance practices cannot be pulled away from the black experience in America. Identity politics is the conduit to self- empowerment for black and gay liberation movements, for similar reasons. Accordingly, the project study will concentrate on three areas: (1) social trends and historiography, (2) select black gay performances in this period, and (3) theories of queer and racial identification.

  • The Zombie in American Culture by Graeme Stewart a Thesis Presented
    The Zombie in American Culture by Graeme Stewart A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in English - Literary Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Graeme Stewart 2013 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT My research explores how the oft-maligned zombie genre reveals deep-seated American cultural tendencies drawn from the nation's history with colonization and imperialism. The zombie genre is a quintessentially American construct that has been flourishing in popular culture for nearly 60 years. Since George A. Romero first pioneered the genre with 1968's Night of the Living Dead , zombie narratives have demonstrated a persistent resilience in American culture to emerge as the ultimate American horror icon. First serving as a method to exploit and react to cultural anxieties in the 1960s, the zombie genre met the decade's tumultuous violence in international conflicts like the Vietnam War and domestic revolutions like the Civil Rights Movement. It adapted in the 1970s to expose a perceived excess in consumer culture before reflecting apocalyptic fears at the height of the Cold War in the 1980s. Following a period of rest in the relatively peaceful 1990s, the genre re-emerged in the early 2000s to reflect cultural anxieties spurred on by the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the subsequent resurgence of war those attacks inspired.
