Mammina stava urlando a squarciagola il mio nome, manco fosse intrappolata in un edificio in fiamme. Strillava così forte che la sua voce sovrastava il frastuono del tagliaerba che spingevo svogliatamente su e giù per il prato. Le urla arrivavano dalla reception del nostro motel a White Lake, un paesino minuscolo che si affaccia sul lago tra le montagne di Catskill. Mi girai per cercare l'incendio o quantomeno una traccia di fumo. Niente, naturalmente. Quindi tutta questa tragedia doveva essere al massimo un rubinetto che perdeva. «Eliyahu!» Ora aveva gridato il mio nome di nascita ebraico per farmi capire che la situazione era davvero seria. «La tua povera mammina ha bisogno di te.» La sua voce mi perforava come la lama di un coltello. Spensi il vecchio tagliaerba arrugginito e m'incamminai verso la reception. Mia madre era in piedi, dietro la cassa, e fronteggiava un uomo basso con una camicia rossa, i bermuda giallo senape, i calzini al ginocchio e un cappellino calato sulla testa calva.

  • The Last Bedraggled Fan Sloshed out of Max Yasgur's Muddy Pasture More Than 25 Years Ago. That's When the Debate Began About Woodstock's Historical Significance
    The last bedraggled fan sloshed out of Max Yasgur's muddy pasture more than 25 years ago. That's when the debate began about Woodstock's historical significance. True believers still call Woodstock the capstone of an era devoted to human advancement. Cynics say it was a fitting, ridiculous end to an era of naivete. Then there are those who say it was just a hell of a party. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 drew more than 450,000 people to a pasture in Sullivan County. For four days, the site became a countercultural mini-nation in which minds were open, drugs were all but legal and love was "free". The music began Friday afternoon at 5:07pm August 15 and continued until mid-morning Monday August 18. The festival closed the New York State Thruway and created one of the nation's worst traffic jams. It also inspired a slew of local and state laws to ensure that nothing like it would ever happen again. Woodstock, like only a handful of historical events, has become part of the cultural lexicon. As Watergate is the codeword for a national crisis of confidence and Waterloo stands for ignominious defeat, Woodstock has become an instant adjective denoting youthful hedonism and 60's excess. "What we had here was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence," said Bethel town historian Bert Feldman. "Dickens said it first: 'It was the best of times. It was the worst of times'. It's an amalgam that will never be reproduced again." Gathered that weekend in 1969 were liars and lovers, prophets and profiteers.

    From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas (http://www.lasalle.edu/library/vietnam/FilmIndex/home.htm) compiled by John K. McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) T2420 TAKING WOODSTOCK (USA, 2009) Credits: director, Ang Lee ; writer, James Schamus ; book, Elliot Tiber, Tom Monte. Cast: Demetri Martin, Dan Fogler, Henry Goodman, Jonathan Groff, Eugene Levy, Emile Hirsch. Summary: Comedy/melodrama set in and around Bethel, N.Y. in 1969. Based on the real-life Elliot Tiber, the character of Elliott Teichberg (Martin) has returned to the Catskills from his career as a painter/designer in New York City to help his immigrant parents with their failing El Monaco motel. He has no idea what he is doing when he uses his influence to win approval for a local music and arts festival. The film attempts to provide a kaleidoscopic portrait of the generational movement on display at Woodstock while following Elliot’s personal issues (general uptightness, closeted homosexuality, and a feeling of responsibility for his parents). The parade of history (Moon landing, Vietnam and Middle East tensions) is glimpsed only in the background on television, but there is an embittered Vietnam veteran character named Billy (Hirsch) who is trying to figure out how to reconcile with all this peace and love stuff.

In the last year, we invested significant effort to shape our curriculum in order to provide more of the programs you want. Through focus groups we discovered the desire for small interactive classes, where a student could engage with the instructor and their peers in a smaller classroom atmosphere. With a grant we received from the Bernard Osher Foundation, we were able to partner with the FAU Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters to develop a program to recruit highly acclaimed FAU Ph.D. students to facilitate small class discussions on their research in the subject areas of Blaxploitation Cinema; Turning Personal Stories into Memoir; Cuban Cinema; The “Grand Tour” of Italy through Literature, Music and Film; Andean Music and Dance; and Transgender Politics and Screen Culture. In addition, Lifelong Learning in Jupiter continues to be significantly involved in promoting the use of online platforms for registration and communication. In the fall of 2014, we kicked off our “Interactions” initiative with a new look to our weekly emails, a member information table in the lobby at the beginning of each semester to answer questions and our first annual member orientation that was held in January.
