LINDSEY SUE FLECKENSTEIN Faculty Advisor Typist "DEEP THROAT" JOURNALISM AND THE SUPREME COURT: A CASE OF "BURNING THE BARN TO ROAST THE PIG?" By Allen Sultan* As a working foreign correspondent in the United States for thirty- five years, I came to realize, and never more than during some dan- gerous constitutional crisis, that the Court and the Court alone guards the rights of the citizen, whether he is a bum or a banker, the President or an infant [ . The Court is] the watch dog of the ordinary citizen... it will be a bad day for the United States if the mass of Americans come to lose their faith in it as their fair and final protector.1 We in the United States do not enjoy the political advantages of relative conformity and tranquility derived from a single culture and religion, such as exist, for example, in Sweden and Italy. Rather, the population of the United States, at first blush, seems to require an authoritarian rather than democratic formula. The tensions, pressures, and conflicts one would expect from our heter- ogeneous ethnic base, with its many races, religions, cultures, and national origins suggest that any republican system that vests sov- ereignty in so varied a group of peoples was doomed to failure. The reason it has not failed is most directly due to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers who framed the three basic documents of our national polity, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and the subsequent wisdom of many of the judges who served on the United States Supreme Court. The Jus- tices have dampened the inevitable centrifugal forces of our mixed and varied population; and, in the process, they have not only con- sistently expanded the application and thereby the citizens' enjoy- ment of rights physically embodied in those instruments, they have also added and expansively applied a host of other rights, like as- sociation and privacy, as if they were a written part of our organic law.2 These are the reasons that the Supreme Court, in the parlance of the media, "makes excellent copy." Simply stated, the Court has * Professor of Law, University of Dayton 1. ALISTAIR COOKE'S AMERICA 145-47 (1973). 2. For evidence of the question of whether the Declaration forms part of our "organic law," see, e.g., Gray v. Sanders, 372 U.S. 368, 381 (1963); Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 558 (1964). NORTHERN KENTUCKY LAW REVIEW [Vol. 7/323 glamour, drama, and mystic qualities - all because it possesses the ultimate powers of operative government. That power, how- ever, is conditioned on the sovereignty of the people." And, therein lies the danger! For a system that vests ultimate power in the peo- ple cannot afford a sentiment of idolatry towards any branch of government - be it the White House that can spew a Watergate, the Congress that can coin a Gulf of Tonkin Resolution,5 or a Su- preme Court that can explode a Dred Scotts decision on a nation highly agitated over the moral issue of the ownership of one human by another. Since the best of institutions can also err, unc- tuous attribution is dangerous. Rather, true security lies in the constant vigil of the people. It rests in that ongoing interaction with government that evidences the clear rejection of attitudes of paternalism and noblesse oblige that are the almost inevitable con- sequences of a sentiment of idolatry. It rests at bottom with the demand by the body politic that "transcedent values''7 be respected and that failure by government to do so risks the type of 3. Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803); Martin v. Hunter's Lessee, 14 U.S. (1 Wheat.) 304 (1816); THE FEDERALIST No. 82 (A. Hamilton). 4. McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 316 (1819). This sovereignty is exercised through the amendatory provision, U.S. CONST. art. V. For a further discussion of this point, see, e.g., L. ORFIELD, AMENDING THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION 154 (1942): ("In the last analy- sis, one is brought to the conclusion that sovereignty in the United States, if it can be said to exist at all, is located in the amending body. The amending body has often been referred to as the sovereign, because it meets the test of the location of sovereignty.") See also, Potter, The Method of Amending the Federal Constitution, 57 U. PA. L. REv. 589, 592 (1909): ("In a government controlled and limited by a written Constitution as is ours, the test of actual sovereignty is to be found in the power to amend the Constitution. When you ascertain where, and how, and by whom that power is exercised, you have located the source of sovereignty."). 5. H. R. J. Res. 1145, 78 Stat. 384 (1964). 6. Dred Scott v.

NoTEs 8, 10 (1974): The ultimates, identified with transcendent values, must in their very nature lie outside the Constitution, just as basic rights have their source outside the Constitu- tion . .. In the end its decision on ultimate values must be sustained by some higher law rooted in the common consciousness and understanding . .. the con- science of the nation lies outside the Constitution and supports it. The conceptions rooted in common understanding are the stuff of a nation's aspiration and moral vi- sion. It is in the shaping of a common ethnic of the people which draws its inspiration from religious, moral, and philosophical sources .... On the changing implementation of these values, see, e.g., Sultan, The ConstitutionalPrin- ciple of Equality and Sex-Based Differential Treatment in American Law, 23 CATHOLIC LAW. 3, 4-6 (1977) & Sultan, Recent Judicial Concepts of "Cruel and Unusual Punish- ment." 10 VILL.

Thus, the benchmark of our concern when reflecting on the im- pact of any particular form of media activity is not does it destroy any public myths about officials or institutions. It is not does it topple any idols that need toppling. Rather, it is submitted that the correct standard is: Does the impact of the media activity serve the public interest in that it engenders the proper degree of re- spect (or lack of it) for the individual or institution of government that is the object of journalistic inquiry and evaluation? The suita- bility of this standard is proven by the very reason underlying the extensive protection of media activity conferred by our constitu- tional system. That purpose, clearly recognized by the media,' was eloquently characterized by what is developing into a classic state- ment of Mr. Justice Brennan: [W]e consider this case against the background of a profound na- tional commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp at- tacks on government and public officials.' Using the proper degree of respect standard, a presidency that successfully guides us through a global war of the Missile Crisis is deserving of approval, while a criminal in the White House (hypo- thetically speaking, of course) is deserving of immediate removal. A Supreme Court that declares that rocks don't vote and trees don't vote but people do 0 or that unanimously rejects a social phi- losophy11 which causes black children as young as three years to 8. For example, the first standard of the "Code of Ethics" adopted by the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, at their national convention on November 16, 1973 reads as follows: Responsibility: The public's right to know the events of public importance and inter- est is the overriding mission of the mass media.

  • THE ROLES of the VISUAL in PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND the CONVENTIONS of CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillme
    THE ROLES OF THE VISUAL IN PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND THE CONVENTIONS OF CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Dominic Catalano, BS, MA, MFA ****** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Sydney Walker, Advisor ___________________________________ Professor Ken Marantz Advisor Professor Janet Hickman Art Education Graduate Program Copyright by Dominic Catalano 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation is to examine the meaning making potential of the visual properties of the literary and artistic genre known as the picturebook. In addition, the means in which we come to understand the visual in picturebooks is challenged, particularly in regards to written text and in context within the conventions of the larger picturebook community. Through primarily a poststructural semiotic analysis of three major post-1960s picturebook works (plus an addtional work produced by this author), this study demonstrates the deeper potentials of meaning in the visual elements of illustration and design qualties beyond current discourse. Lastly, this deeper potential meaning is qualified as to its impact on the picturebook field itself, as to the making, interpretation, and criticism of picturebooks, and to the utilization in education, especially the practise of visual art education. ii Dedicated to my wife, Oksana, my calm port in life’s stormy sea iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Sydney Walker, for her encouragement and support throughout the writing of this study, and Drs. Kenneth Marantz and Janet Hickman for their expertise in the field.

The president died the next morning, leaving his wife and an entire nation in shock. In fact, Mary Lincoln, one of the most controversial first ladies in America’s history, would never be the same. In 1929, a portrait of Mary Lincoln by Francis Carpenter was offered for sale in New York and its image appeared in The New York Times. Carpenter was the same artist who lived in the White House for six months while painting his iconic masterpiece, The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. Mary Lincoln’s granddaughter, Jessie Harlan Lincoln, purchased the portrait and it was kept in the family until 1976 when Abraham Lincoln’s last living descendant, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, donated the painting to the Illinois State Historical Library, now the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. It was displayed for three decades at the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield, Illinois, when officials at the library sent the portrait to me for treatment. During my work, I discovered that the painting was not what it appeared to be. On February 12, 2012, The New York Times ran a Sunday front-page story revealing my discovery that a $400,000 portrait of Mary Lincoln was a fake.

Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower was initially funded by this man, but the project turned out to be a failure. Discussion of how to stop the collapse of Moore and Schley took place at this man's library. George Perkins was a partner in this man's company. He gained control of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad from Gould and Fisk. During the Panic of 1893, Grover Cleveland had to borrow from this man in order to maintain the gold standard. His intervention helped end the Panic of 1907. He oversaw the 1892 merger that created General Electric, and he also orchestrated the combination of companies such as Carnegie Steel into U.S. Steel. For the point, name this American banker. ANSWER: John Pierpont Morgan 127-12-58-25101 2. The identity of one of these people was discovered when he pointed out that a wealthy merchant owed him 500 gold coins, instead of the 2 that he gave in offering. A more famous one tipped his arrows in gold to repay the families of those he killed and summoned five people to his tent, emerging with a bloody sword each time. Those five servants of the last of these people were the original Khalsa. The first of these figures irreverently slept with his feet toward the Kaaba and remarked "there is no Hindu, there is no Muslim." The fifth, Arjan Dev, compiled the Adi Granth, which is revered as the final, living one.
