I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • The U.S. Congress Either Overreacts Or Underperforms
    THE U.S. CONGRESS EITHER OVERREACTS OR UNDERPERFORMS: THE U.S. POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL MANDATE, NEGLECTED HIGHWAY POLICY, AND HOW TO IMPROVE THE FIRST BRANCH OF GOVERMENT by Harrison Morton Wadswoth, IV A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland August 2016 © 2016 Harrison M. Wadsworth, IV All Rights Reserved Abstract Why, when, and how does Congress pass legislation? John Kingdon theorized in Agendas, Alternatives, and Public Policies that the U.S. Congress is unlikely to act on major public policy issues unless there is an event to focus the public’s attention. Compelled to act in the window of opportunity after a focusing event, Congress is likely to enact hastily considered policy, particularly if a proposed policy solution is already on the minds of legislators. Thus, the Congress typically either overreacts in passing legislation, or underperforms by doing nothing at all. The Kingdon theory is tested against the 2008 enactment of the Positive Train Control railroad technology mandate and found to hold strong predictive value. The theory is then tested against examples of the Congress’s unwillingness to raise excise taxes on gasoline to fund transportation programs or increase federal truck weight limits. Again, the theory is found to be valid, especially when informed by other studies of Congressional action. Lastly, recent scholarship on the Congress, and interviews with individuals with professional and academic experience with Congress, inform a discussion of what could be done to strengthen Congress so that it achieves better public policy outcomes.

  • BUT WILL IT PLAY in GRAND RAPIDS? the ROLE of GATEKEEPERS in MUSIC SELECTION in 1960S TOP 40 RADIO
    BUT WILL IT PLAY IN GRAND RAPIDS? THE ROLE OF GATEKEEPERS IN MUSIC SELECTION IN 1960s TOP 40 RADIO By Leonard A. O’Kelly A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Media and Information Studies - Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT BUT WILL IT PLAY IN GRAND RAPIDS? THE ROLE OF GATEKEEPERS IN MUSIC SELECTION IN 1960s TOP 40 RADIO By Leonard A. O’Kelly The decision to play (or not to play) certain songs on the radio can have financial ramifications for performers and for radio stations alike in the form of ratings and revenue. This study considers the theory of gatekeeping at the individual level, paired with industry factors such as advertising, music industry promotion, and payola to explain how radio stations determined which songs to play. An analysis of playlists from large-market Top 40 radio stations and small-market stations within the larger stations’ coverage areas from the 1960s will determine the direction of spread of song titles and the time frame for the spread of music, shedding light on how radio program directors (gatekeepers) may have been influenced in their decisions. By comparing this data with national charts, it may also be possible to determine whether or not local stations had any influence over the national trend. The role of industry trade publications such as Billboard and The Gavin Report are considered, and the rise of the broadcast consultant as a gatekeeper is explored. This study will also analyze the discrepancy in song selection with respect to race and gender as compared to national measures of popularity.
