  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

  • Misa Hayase: White Reminiscences
    In her twelfth spring… To her eternal love, Riber… Misa Hayase: White Reminiscences By Hiroshi Ohnogi Illustrations: Haruhiko Mikimoto Planning: Shoji Kawamori Table of Contents Prologue…………………………….6 White Sketch………………………21 White Letters……………………..58 White Parting……………………..97 White Journey……………………119 Translation by Gubaba The irritated footsteps inside of the room came and went. Takashi Hayase looked at the clock once again. The appointed time has already passed. Hayase held the pipe in his mouth again, even though it had gone out some time before. The meal on the table had gotten cold. This person was not just an Admiral in the UN Forces, he was also the father of a solitary daughter. “I apologize for taking so long.” Misa had arrived at last. “You’re late.” …but it’s all right, he started to say, but the words stuck in the back of his throat. Misa stood at the doorway wearing a long-sleeved kimono, which had been ordered specially for this day. Her long hair was arranged carefully, and her cheeks even showed a faint hint of red. “Please don’t look at me like that, Father.” She hid her embarrassed face with the kimono, and the collar dropped, exposing the nape of her white neck. “Please don’t be embarrassed. I’m just surprised at how lovely you look.” After he said that, the Admiral gestured for Misa to take a chair, and then he sat down opposite her. Although it was the first meal the two of them had had together in a long time, neither of them touched their chopsticks.

Rachel: And this is Wonderful. Griffin: We did it. We got past the spooky holiday, um, together. I was a little bit worried, there. People were talking about the uh, skeleton. The skeleton brigade that was gonna come and get us all. Uh… Rachel: You know our last episode was past the spooky…? Griffin: Ooh, was it? What day is it? What is the date? What‘s the current date? Rachel: It‘s November 12th. Griffin: Yeah, so, that‘s what they said is, the skeleton brigade didn‘t vanish when the sun came up on November 1st like they were supposed to. They hung around for a couple extra days, as like— Rachel: Uh-huh… Griffin: And that was their sneak attack strategy. Rachel: Okay. Griffin: Um, so, I wanted to give everybody—I wanted to tell everybody now, in case you're the first to hear it from us, is that we‘re in the clear. And the skeleton brigade has died, and we lived through it, and the casualties were very limited. So, no need to fear. Rachel: We also made it past David Schwimmer‘s birthday. Griffin: We got past David Schwimmer‘s birthday. That one‘s got skeletons of its own, if you know what I'm saying. In a closet. Rachel: [laughs] Uh-huh. Griffin: So, this is Wonderful. This is a show where we talk about things that we like, and also, it‘s the show where we forget what the date is by a pretty dramatically wide margin.

  • Regional Oral History Office University of California the Bancroft Library Berkeley, California
    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Robert H. Bragg AN ORAL HISTORY WITH ROBERT H. BRAGG Interviews conducted by Nadine Wilmot in 2002 Copyright © 2005 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert H. Bragg, dated June 18, 2002. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley. No part of the manuscript may be quoted for publication without the written permission of the Director of The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.
