There is no dispute that ADF solicited and received financial support from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (IINRSC1')for this program. The only issue for the Commission is whether it will accept the General Counsel's novel analysis that regulations proposed for the Commission's review should be applied to past conduct even before their adoption by the Cornmission, and that the Commission should extend its regulatory authority over political speech/political activities of a non-profit, non-partisan organization which makes no contribution ox expenditure on behalf of any federal candidate.

  • The Illustrated Four Freedoms: FDR, Rockwell, and the Margins of the Rhetorical Presidency
    The Illustrated Four Freedoms: FDR, Rockwell, and the Margins of the Rhetorical Presidency JAMES J. KIMBLE Seton Hall University This article examines the rhetorical failure and eventual resurrection of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s (FDR’s) Four Freedoms and the implications of this transformation for conceptual- izing the rhetorical presidency. By charting the phrase’s initial flop and the related troubles of the administration’s official Four Freedoms pamphlet, the essay argues that FDR’s ideal was restrained by the government’s reliance on a diegetic approach to propaganda. The appearance of Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms series in 1943, in contrast, embraced a mimetic approach. I conclude that Rockwell’s paintings and their attendant publicity blitz dramatized and personalized the president’s Four Freedoms, fostering a surge of identification on the home front and ultimately launching the ideal on its ascendant course into rhetorical history. Mr. Lasswell laid especial emphasis upon the Four Freedoms. ...Heeven suggested means to make them more than rhetorical devices. —Leonard Doob (1942, 8) On October 17, 2012, a moving dedication ceremony took place on the southern tip of New York City’s Roosevelt Island. The occasion featured former President Bill Clinton and a host of other dignitaries—including Mario and Andrew Cuomo, David Dinkins, Michael Bloomberg, and Henry Kissinger—participating in the unveiling of the Franklin D. Roose- velt (FDR) Four Freedoms Park. Speakers and visitors alike marveled at the stunning four- acre site’s inspiring design, the product of famed architect Louis Kahn. Against the magnifi- cent backdrop of the urban skyline, FDR’s legacy must have seemed as timeless as ever.

  • Wendy Richard
    Soap stars gather for emotional farewell to Wendy Richard Screen legend Wendy Richard Stars from some of Britain’s best-loved soaps gathered together on 9th March 2009 to pay their respects to screen legend Wendy Richard. Lacey Turner, Pam St Clement, Letitia Dean, June Brown and Todd Carty Albert Square was brought to a virtual standstill as more than 100 EastEnders stars gathered for the funeral of the 65-year-old, who became a household name for her portrayal as cardigan- wearing matriarch Pauline Fowler. Famed characters from the East End soap both past and present included Anna Wing who starred as Lou Beale; Letitia Dean who played Sharon Mitchell; Barbara Windsor who plays Peggy; Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt and Dot Branning's June Brown. On arriving at the church with Ricky Groves (Gary Hobbs) and June Brown, Letitia told reporters: “Wendy is going to love this.” Groves added: “We’ll have a drink for her.” Wendy's on-screen son Todd Carty - who played Mark Fowler - led tributes to the actress along with Are You Being Served's Frank Thornton and Leonard Fenton, who starred as Dr Harold Legg. Carty looked to be on the brink of tears as he arrived at the church, flanked by Cindy Beale actress Michelle Collins, Steve McFadden who plays Mitchell hardman Phil, Pam St. Clement (Pat), Lacey Turner (Stacey) and Kara Tointon, who stars as Dawn. More than 1,000 mourners crammed into a star-studded central London service for Wendy, who also played Miss Brahms in the hit sitcom Are You Being Served? and fans of the star lined the streets outside St Marylebone Parish Church.
