  • GSC Films: S-Z
    GSC Films: S-Z Saboteur 1942 Alfred Hitchcock 3.0 Robert Cummings, Patricia Lane as not so charismatic love interest, Otto Kruger as rather dull villain (although something of prefigure of James Mason’s very suave villain in ‘NNW’), Norman Lloyd who makes impression as rather melancholy saboteur, especially when he is hanging by his sleeve in Statue of Liberty sequence. One of lesser Hitchcock products, done on loan out from Selznick for Universal. Suffers from lackluster cast (Cummings does not have acting weight to make us care for his character or to make us believe that he is going to all that trouble to find the real saboteur), and an often inconsistent story line that provides opportunity for interesting set pieces – the circus freaks, the high society fund-raising dance; and of course the final famous Statue of Liberty sequence (vertigo impression with the two characters perched high on the finger of the statue, the suspense generated by the slow tearing of the sleeve seam, and the scary fall when the sleeve tears off – Lloyd rotating slowly and screaming as he recedes from Cummings’ view). Many scenes are obviously done on the cheap – anything with the trucks, the home of Kruger, riding a taxi through New York. Some of the scenes are very flat – the kindly blind hermit (riff on the hermit in ‘Frankenstein?’), Kruger’s affection for his grandchild around the swimming pool in his Highway 395 ranch home, the meeting with the bad guys in the Soda City scene next to Hoover Dam. The encounter with the circus freaks (Siamese twins who don’t get along, the bearded lady whose beard is in curlers, the militaristic midget who wants to turn the couple in, etc.) is amusing and piquant (perhaps the scene was written by Dorothy Parker?), but it doesn’t seem to relate to anything.

  • Timeline of the Development of the Horse
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 177 August, 2007 Timeline of the Development of the Horse by Beverley Davis Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series edited by Victor H. Mair. The purpose of the series is to make available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including Romanized Modern Standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino-Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. The only style-sheet we honor is that of consistency. Where possible, we prefer the usages of the Journal of Asian Studies. Sinographs (hanzi, also called tetragraphs [fangkuaizi]) and other unusual symbols should be kept to an absolute minimum. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

  • Thoroughly Thoroughbred
    Thoroughly Thoroughbred An informational guide to the Thoroughbred industry WELCOME 1 And They’re Off... Photo: Del Mar Thoroughbred Club An avid Thoroughbred racing fan, who had carefully studied bloodlines of equine athletes for many years, once said of the sport, “It’s like a story that never ends. You get to see certain horses compete and then a few years later you get to see their sons and daughters compete.” And while there are many longtime fans, there are also newcomers to this sport every day, people who want to learn more about the Thoroughbred. This booklet is designed for their benefit. It can’t answer every question about every aspect of the Thoroughbred industry, but it can point you in the right direction. We’ve tried to cover the basics and we’ve tried to make you aware of countless other resources that may also be helpful to you. Thoroughly Thoroughbred, as you’ll see, includes sections on the Thoroughbred and its history, racing information, racing as a profession, educational outposts, equine industry charities, national organizations, and even some well-known books and movies about our sport. There are also miscellaneous facts and figures and a glossary contained within. The three organizations that have jointly published this edition – The Jockey Club, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, and the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association – all strive to improve our industry. Educating and creating new fans is a way to do that. We hope you enjoy this booklet, and we hope you won’t hesitate to contact us if you need additional information about any aspect of the Thoroughbred industry.

It wasn’t Pope Pius XI, nor was it Lou Gehrig, Howard Hughes, or Clark Gable. The subject of the most newspaper column inches in 1938 wasn’t even a person. It was an undersized, crooked-legged racehorse named Seabiscuit. In the latter half of the Depression, Seabiscuit was nothing short of a cultural icon in America, enjoying adulation so intense and broad-based that it transcended sport.
