    MOVIE MEMORIES Music from movies empowers their drama and emotion. What would a movie be without its musical score? Pianist Alan Pearlmutter and clarinetist Linda Poland team up to perform theme songs from great movies. Selections include older classics such as Singin’ in The Rain, Taking a Chance on Love, Tara’s Theme, and I’m in the Mood for Love. Songs from later films are represented by the music of Michel Legrand (The Way He Makes Me Feel, The Windmills of Your Mind), and Viktor’s Theme by John Williams from The Terminal, which features a clarinet solo.

PUB TYPE Collected Works General (020) Reports Evaluative /Feasibility (142) Reference Materials Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Auteurism; *Black Community; *Black Culture; Black History; Cultural Images; Film Criticism; *Film Production Specialists; *Film Study; Popular Culture; Racial Relations; Urban Culture IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; *Lee (Spike) ABSTRACT This monograph presents a critical essay and a comprehensive 454-item bibliography on the contemporary African-American filmmaker, Spike Lee. The essay, entitled "African-American Folklore and Cultural History in the Films of Spike Lee" (Gloria J. Gibson-Hudson), analyzes Lee's filmmaking approach from a cultural and historical perspective. The essay identifies Lee as a contemporary storyteller weaving his tales with the aid of a camera and demonstrates how his film narratives draw on both the historic and contemporary experiences of African Americans. The essay discusses five of Lee's films (made between 1984 and 1991) thematically, categorizing them under intra-racal issues and inter-racial issues. The bibliography (by Grace Jackson-Brown) provides citations from both scholarly and popular literature, encompassing newspaper articles, journal and magazine articles, chapters or sections from books, and reviews of films (most of the citations date from the last 5 years). The extensive 49-page bibliography is intended to be a comprehensive guide to literature that will assist students and researchers with an interest in Spike Lee.

Y 305- iT PREFACE MUCH has been written of the sufferings of foreigners in the recent Boxer uprising and correspondingly Httle of the conduct of the Chinese Christians. At a recent meeting of the North China Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church it was decided to inquire minutely into the persecutions from the standpoint of the natives, in the belief that a more adequate un- derstanding of their heroism would be a stimu- lant to the faith of the Church. A committee was therefore appointed, and the native pastors were requested to gather up and forward reports of such cases as might be considered representative of the persecutions as a whole. To these reports were added such in- cidents in the lives of certain of the members as would contribute to a proper estimate of their character, and thus enable the reader to see the persecutions in their proper settings.

Et dans un monde de plus en plus globalisé, est-ce que l’idée même de culture nationale fait encore sens ? Est-ce que la voix et les mots peuvent-être considérés comme un simple matériau ? Est-ce que la danse où les arts plastiques, parce qu’ils font fi de la parole, ne disent rien des pays dont sont originaires leurs artistes ? Mais surtout, est-ce que l’eurovision est un outil efficace de diffusion ou de prosélytisme culturel et linguistique ? Est-ce qu’écouter Wer liebe lebt permet de découvrir la culture allemande ?

  • The Rocky Road to Energy Dominance: the Executive Branch's Limited Authority to Modify and Revoke Withdrawals of Federal Lands from Mineral Production
    ARTICLES The Rocky Road to Energy Dominance: The Executive Branch's Limited Authority to Modify and Revoke Withdrawals of Federal Lands from Mineral Production HILLARY M. HOFFMANN* & ROBERT L. GLICKSMAN** ABSTRACT The Trump Administration's implementation of its America First Energy Plan, whose goal was achieving U.S. ªenergy dominance,º heavily relied upon public mineral development. Mineral development on federal lands is substan- tially governed by statute. The statutory legal mechanisms by which the Executive Branch can ªopenº or ªcloseº an area of federal lands to mineral development, whether onshore or offshore, are withdrawal, modi®cation, and revocation. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (ªFLPMAº) and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (ªOCSLAº) are the primary statutes that govern onshore and offshore mineral development on over 2 billion acres of federal lands. Both FLPMA and OCSLA authorize withdrawals, which the Executive can use to place federal lands off limits to mineral development. FLPMA also authorizes modi®cations and revocations of withdrawals, which can remove constraints on such development. The Trump Administration used both statutes in its quest to expand the areas that are available for private mineral development through modi®cation or revocation of withdrawals by prior administrations. The authority provided by FLPMA and OCSLA to determine the availability of federal lands for mineral development is subject to a series of substantive and procedural constraints. Because it regarded those constraints as undesir- able shackles on the implementation of its mineral development policies, and * Professor of Law, Vermont Law School; Visiting Robert H. McKinney Family Chair in Environmental Law, Indiana University Robert H.
