  • Palm Canyon (Lyric Landscape), 1968 Artist
    Title - Palm Canyon (Lyric Landscape), 1968 Artist - Edward Biberman American, 1904-1986 Oil on Masonite Gift of the Estate of Genevieve U. Gilmore; Courtesy of Mrs. Martha Parfet, Mrs. Carol Boudeman and Mrs. Jane Vojnovich Spotlight Paper - Josie Gomez, 2019 Artist’s Background Information; Edward Biberman was born in Philadelphia on October 23, 1904. He died in 1986 at the age of 81 in the Hollywood Hills home he shared with his wife Sonja. Biberman was born to Jewish immigrant parents from Russia. His father, Joseph, left his homeland at the age of 18 to come to the United States seeking the “American Dream”. By the time he was 30 years old Edward’s father was a very successful businessman. Edward was the youngest of three children. He was 16 years old when he graduated from high school. He received a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania and graduated at the age of 19 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Economics. In 1924 at the age of 20 he enrolled as a full-time student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Pennsylvania. Edward was now fully committed to a life in art. Edward’s father resigned himself to the fact that his youngest son would not take over the family business. In June of 1926 after graduating from the Fine Arts Academy he sailed to Europe, living in Paris from 1926-29 where he met many artists and writers. While he enjoyed his time in Europe he realized he wanted to return to America. His career as an artist was launched with an exhibition in Paris in 1927.

  • Teaching the Impact of Litigation Costs on The
    FIZZ FIGHT: HOW SODA TAXES AFFECT COCA-COLA’S BUSINESS STRATEGY Margaret Sherman and Harold Weston * I. INTRODUCTION How does a firm respond when government tries to tax away demand for its products? It responds with typical opposition (litigation, public relations, lobbying), and in the case of sugar taxes on soft drinks, by changing its business strategy to offer different products. Thus, in addition to the impact sugar taxes may have on consumer demand behavior, sugar taxes have significant impact on supplier behavior, as this study on The Coca-Cola Company’s responses to soda taxes shows. Since 2012, state and municipal governments in the United States, and in other countries, have considered and implemented taxes on sodas and sugar-sweetened drinks to address the growing obesity epidemic. Such taxes are often called “sin taxes” because they are assessed against products deemed to have a harmful effect in order to decrease consumption of the products. The goal of the sugar taxes (or soda taxes, because the tax applies mainly to soft drinks with sugar) is to discourage consumption and encourage manufacturers to modify their products. In addition, governments have focused on taxing sodas and sugary drinks because the revenue generated by soda taxes can fund public health programs or raise much-needed general revenue for communities.1 The American Heart Association recommends a daily maximum intake of 25 grams of sugar for adult women and 36 grams for adult men. Compare this against a 20-ounce bottle of regular Coca- * Margaret Sherman is Clinical Associate Professor of Legal Studies, and Harold Weston is Clinical Associate Professor of Risk Management and Insurance, at Georgia State University, J.
