Earlier this year, the Arboretum received the Conservancy’s Royce Neuschatz Preservation Award for Historic Landscapes. In her remarks, Linda recognized the Arboretum’s singular cultural significance; I cannot improve on her words: “The Arboretum is a microcosm of L.A. history; it is about land, people, buildings, plants and peacocks! In my many years of preservation, I have seen many sites, but I have to say that the Arboretum is one of the most layered and interesting places that I’ve experienced. “Something here captures you. Thousands come to learn about plants, enjoy concerts, and even get married, talk about making history! As Arboretum members, you support efforts to preserve this place and expand the number of people who value it.

  • Genuneit Tarzan Vor 100 Jahren
    Jürgen Genuneit Aaaaaihaihaaaaihaihaaaaa! Vor 100 Jahren lernte Tarzan lesen und schreiben „Aaaaaihaihaaaaihaihaaaaa!“ – sicherlich haben Sie diesen Schrei gleich als den berühmten Tarzanschrei erkannt und erinnern sich zurück an die Tarzan-Comics Ihrer Jugend, an die Tarzanfilme mit Johnny Weismüller und Lex Barker oder an die Disney-Verfilmung und vielleicht an einen der 26 Tarzan- Romane des Amerikaners Edgar Rice Burroughs. Aber wie Tarzan lesen und schreiben gelernt hat, daran erinnert sich meistens kaum einer. Tarzans unglaubliche Lese- und Schreiblerngeschichte steht in dem ersten Band der Romanserie „Tarzan bei den Affen", der vor genau hundert Jahren im September/Oktober 1912 zum ersten Mal erschienen ist. Tarzan war bekanntlich als Säugling von den Affen geraubt und großgezogen worden. Von ihnen lernte er auch die Affensprache, die lediglich auf einer reduzierten mündlichen Basis bestand. Auf seinen Streifzügen durch den Dschungel entdeckt der Zehnjährige die Hütte seines Vaters und dort findet er eine Fibel. Mit Hilfe der Bilder und der Bildunterschriften, deren Buchstaben er zunächst für „eine seltene Art Käfer" hält, bringt er sich selbst das Lesen bei, was ihm bei denjenigen Abbildungen, die er aus der Dschungelwelt kennt, leichter gelingt als bei „Eisenbahn" oder „Schiff" – eine wichtige Bestätigung des in der Erwachsenenalphabetisierung angewandten Spracherfahrungsansatzes, der die Alltagserfahrung des Lernenden zum Ausgangspunkt des Lese- und Schreiblernprozesses macht. Insgesamt braucht Tarzan fünf, in der Comic- Version

  • Lie of the Jungle: the Trut
    Lie of the Jungle: The Truth About Cheeta the Chimpanzee http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/25/A... Lie of the Jungle He had the chance to write the biography of Cheeta, known as the world's oldest and most famous chimp. But his research led him into serious monkey business. By R.D. Rosen Sunday, December 7, 2008; W14 In the fall of 2007, I had been working for several months on a proposal for the authorized biography of Cheeta, Johnny Weissmuller's sidekick in MGM's Tarzan movies of the 1930s and '40s. Against all odds, Cheeta was still alive at the age of 75, 20 years older than a captive chimp's normal life span. When the agent for Cheeta and his owner, Dan Westfall, had first approached me about writing the biography, I was astonished that a fixture of not just my own childhood, but my parents', as well, one of the most celebrated animals in movie history, was retired in Palm Springs, Calif., selling his paintings for $135 donations to thousands of far-flung admirers. His birthday parties were now covered by national, and even international, media. At Cheeta's 75th birthday party, his owner, who runs a non-profit primate sanctuary, had played a video of Jane Goodall attempting to sing "Happy Birthday" to him in the pant-hooting language of the wild chimps she had first observed in Tanzania in the early 1960s. Could there be higher tribute to a chimp than that? I was too absorbed in the many fascinating aspects of my research -- the history of men and their captive chimps, the early days of Hollywood animal training, the evolution of the Tarzan franchise, newspaper clips about Cheeta, not to mention a meeting with the fading star himself -- to indulge any incipient doubts about Cheeta's true identity.

  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

  • Comics the Univseral Language Part 2
    Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Art Chronology -- Comics: The Universal Language -- Part 2 !In just the 1950s alone, more Tarzan comic books were made in Britain than all the Tarzan comics that have ever made in America. That was how popular the apeman was in the country that Burroughs gave Tarzan’s fictional heritage. !About the time that U.S. publishers finished their Big Little Book run of daily strips reprints, two different British publishers started reprinting the U.S. newspaper strips at the same time. !One revamped a syndicated mini-newspaper reprint service that ran many of the black & white U.S. dailies as color comics for the first and only time. !The other turned old color Sunday strips into black & white comic books. !Soon, images of Tarzan film actors Johnny Weissmuller, Lex Barker, and Gordon Scott began appearing on comic book racks all across England.

  • Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (Part 2) a Man, a Colt the MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews
    Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (part 2) A Man, a Colt The MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews WAI! #72 THE SWINGIN’ DOORS April and May were months that took a number of well known actors of the Spaghetti western genre: Jacques Berthier, Robert Hundar, John Phillip Law and Tano Cimarosa were all well known names in the genre. Of course we should expect as much since these people are now well into their 70s and even 80s. Still in our minds they are young vibrant actors who we see over and over again on video and DVD. It’s hard to realize that it’s been 40+ years since Sergio Leone kicked off the Spaghetti western craze and launched a world wide revolution in film that we still see influencing films today. Hard to believe Clint Eastwood turned 78 on May 30th. Seems like only yesterday he was the ‘Man with No Name’ and starring in the first of the Leone films that launched the genre. Remember when Clint was criticized so badly as an actor and for the films he appeared in during the 60s and 70s. Now he’s revered in Hollywood because he’s outlived his critics. I guess we recognized a real star long before the critics did. A great idea came to Tim League’s mind in the launching of the “Rolling Road Show”, where films are actually shown where they were filmed. I wasn’t able to travel to Spain to see the Dollars trilogy but we have a nice review of the films and the experience by someone who was there.
