Throughout the Fall 1988 semester. it became apparent that I did not know several of the basics. For example. I was unable to name all 40 (at the time) Presidents. And, when given an outline of the United States and asked to draw in and lable the states. I was largely unsuccessful. My Ignorance was compounded with the similar ignorance of my classmates. In an American Studies senior seminar. when asked to pick an image of the 1970s. one student replied, "the Korean War." The general lack of knowledge of the most elementary facts about our country by students who have spent four years studying America, coupled with my love of trivia lead me to this project. F.A.C.T. is a combination of basic facts and trivia. The basics include the names of presidents, vice-presidents, states, and capitals. The blurbs of information following these basics consist of trivia. F.A.C.T. is also concerned with one's ability to be a successful, well-rounded cocktail party-goer. What this requires is some general knowledge of trivia in the following areas: books, music, sports. and movies. These facts will not improve your G.R.E. scores, but they will be useful both at cocktail parties. and when playing Jeopardy! And. most important of all, they will teach you several, little known facts about America and the people who make up America. ---TUFFY II PRESIDENTS George WASHINGTON The only President who did John Adams not live in the White House.

  • Notas Sobre El Estilo El Último Entuerto Que Conviene Desfacer Es El Que Habla De King Como De Un Cineasta “Sin Estilo”
    Notas sobre el estilo El último entuerto que conviene desfacer es el que habla de King como de un cineasta “sin estilo”. Si por estilo se entiende llamar la atención sobre la cámara, forzar los ángulos, montar aparatosos encuadres y hacer notar el trabajo del director, King es, en efecto, un director sin estilo. Algunas de sus películas, como Deep Waters, adoptan además una forma visual aparentemente anodina, que puede pasar por impersonal si a la carencia de atractivos externos se une una extrema funcionalidad narrativa, como sucede en dos de sus obras fundamentales, I’d Climb the Highest Mountain y Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie. Un examen detallado de estas y otras películas revela la existencia de una personalidad cinematográfica muy acusada, aunque no llamativa ni evidente. Más que afanarse en la búsqueda de un estilo propio, King intentó desarrollar a lo largo de su carrera un lenguaje que se correspondiese, visual y narrativamente, con los modos de sus personajes, por lo general inteligentes y discretos, observadores y dinámicos, inconformistas y sensibles a los cambios que se producen en su entorno. Conforme avanzaba su obra, películas y personajes fueron haciéndose progresivamente más complejos, sin que King violentara por ello su estilo, cada vez más refinado y transparente, permeable a los avances técnicos (el sonido, el color, la pantalla ancha) pero no a las modas ni a retóricas pasajeras. Tal vez por ello, o por una fidelidad a su propia visión, las bases del estilo visual de King apenas experimentaron variaciones significativas a lo largo del tiempo, de hecho Tol’able David podría haberse rodado en 1951 y I’d Climb the Highest Mountain treinta años antes sin que el espectador hubiera notado el menor desajuste.

  • Signed Modern Firsts I: Achebe–Kunzru
    Pryor-Johnson Rare Books Signed Modern Firsts I: Achebe-Kunzru [1123 Broadway, Suite 517, New York, NY 10075] [email protected] What an odd time to be an antiquarian bookseller. As the whole world strives to heal while convulsing with rage against injustice, issue points and binding variants can seem pitifully insignificant. We slip into the shop masked and gloved to wrap and dispatch books, but 1123 Broadway has not now for months been a haven of bibliophilia, with baroque music playing and a pot of coffee freshly brewed. Yet we hear from our clients and feel ourselves that cultivating bibliomania — even reading the books — has been a balm. Reading has been an escape as well as a means of rediscovering some of the humanity that’s been eroded by seclusion. Signed books have always had to do with imputed distance: the author’s signature in it is a marker of its having passed through her hands, sometime somewhere. As our own geographical remit has narrowed, a signed book now feels even more like a piece of moon fallen into our hands. We feel it is vital to amplify black, brown and native voices. Thus we highlight the following authors in this list: Achebe, Borges, Danticat, Erdrich, Fuentes, Garcia-Aguilera, Iweala and Kunzru. Their work travers- es style, subject and period. There is no one “literature of color,” nor do we wish to tokenize or fetishize these authors’ work. Bringing the work of people of color to the fore nevertheless feels like a small but powerful role the world of antiquarian books can play — a safeguard against our becoming truly irrelevant or frivolous.

  • West Michigan Pike Route but Is Most Visible Between Whitehall and Shelby
    Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 198 Oceana Drive, Rothbury New England Barn & Queen Anne Residence Hart-Montague Trail, Rothbury The trail is twenty-two miles of the former rail bed of the Pere Marquette Railroad. It was made a state park in 1988. The railroad parallels much of the West Michigan Pike route but is most visible between Whitehall and Shelby. New Era New Era was found in 1878 by a group of Dutch that had been living in Montague serving as mill hands. They wanted to return to an agrarian lifestyle and purchased farms and planted peach orchards. In 1947, there were eighty-five Dutch families in New Era. 4856 Oceana, New Era New Era Canning Company The New Era Canning Company was established in 1910 by Edward P. Ray, a Norwegian immigrant who purchased a fruit farm in New Era. Ray grew raspberries, a delicate fruit that is difficult to transport in hot weather. Today, the plant is still owned by the Ray family and processes green beans, apples, and asparagus.

New Era is characterized by a number of vernacular concrete block buildings. Prior to 1900, concrete was not a common building material for residential or commercial structures. Experimentation, testing and the development of standards for cement and additives in the late 19th century, led to the use of concrete a strong reliable building material after the turn of the century. Concrete was also considered to be fireproof, an important consideration as many communities suffered devastating fires that burned blocks of their wooden buildings Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 200 in the late nineteenth century.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
