Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings February 21 Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (1896-1953) is remembered for her short stories, novels, and non-fiction works about life in the Florida backwoods. Her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Yearling and her memoir Cross Creek are her most publicized works. Her memoir spurred readers to urge her to write Cross Creek Cookery, a collection of recipes that remain popular in many kitchen libraries today. American Scientists March 6 Some of the most impressive scientific achievements of the 20th century are recognized on the American Scientists stamps. Physicist John Bardeen (1908-1991) was the co-inventor of the transistor, arguably the most impor- tant invention of the twentieth century. He is also known for his works on superconductivity at low temperatures. Biochemist Gerty Cori (1896-1957), along with her husband Carl, made important discoveries for understanding how cells use food and convert it to energy. Her work contributed to the understanding and treatment of diabetes and other metabolic diseases. Astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) played a major role in deciphering the vast nature of the universe. His studies proved the existence of galaxies other than our own Milky Way, paving the way for a revolutionary new understanding that the cosmos contains a myriad of separate galaxies. Structural chemist Linus Pauling (1901-1994) determined the nature of the chemical bond linking atoms into molecules. His pioneering work on protein structure led to many findings, including the classification of sickle cell anemia as a molecular disease. page 2008-1 American Philatelic Society, www.stamps.org 2008 United States Postal Service Issues John Bardeen Year of the Rat 1908–1953 Gerty Cori 1896–1957 Charles W.

It states that the American flag should be displayed from sunrise to sunset every day, weather permitting. It can also be flown through the night if properly lit. The four new definitive flag stamp designs show our flag flying at different times of the day: sun- rise, noon, sunset, and night. These stamps will continue to be issued as long as the first-class post- age rate remains at 42 cents. American Journalists April 22 Five journalists who risked their lives reporting some of the most important events of the twentieth century have received their personal stamp of approval. Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998) was one of the first women to become a war correspondent, covering the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the Vietnam War. With her constant focus on the harm brought to civilians, her reporting was considered a morally courageous model for other journalists. John Hersey (1913-1993) was noted for his historical fiction about catastrophic events during World War II. His most famous work, Hiroshima, describes what happened when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city that gave the work its title. It has been acclaimed as the greatest work of journalism of the twentieth century. George Polk (1913-1948) was a talented young CBS radio correspondent reporting from Greece. He described the civil war between the right-wing government and communists that erupted there after World War II. He was working on reports of corruption involving U.S. aid when he disappeared. His body was found a week later. The exact circumstances of his death remain a mystery. Ruben Salazar (1928-1970) was the first Mexican-American journalist to have a major voice in mainstream news media. He was a reporter and columnist for the Los Angeles Times and the news director for a Spanish language television station in Los Angeles. His reports included police brutality of Mexicans and the problems in eastside Los Angeles. While in Los Angeles covering a Vietnam War protest, Salazar was killed by a tear gas projectile. ( Ruben Salazar image from the Los Angeles Times Photographic Archive Collection 1429), Department of Special Collections, Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA. Eric Sevareid (1912-1992) was a writer for the New York Herald Tribune and later a broadcast journalist for CBS radio. He covered World War II, reporting on the approach of the Germans to Paris, the civilian and military exodus from the city, and on life in London during wartime. In 1943, while en route to China, Sevareid parachuted from a disabled plane and emerged from the jungle on foot some time later. His later television commentaries in the 1960s and 1970s on the CBS Evening News were widely admired. page 2008-3 American Philatelic Society, www.stamps.org 2008 United States Postal Service Issues Flags 24/7 Sunrise Noon Sunset Night Martha Gelhorn John Hersey 1908–1998 1913–1993 George Polk 1913–1948 Ruben Salazar Eric Sevareid 1928–1970 1912–1992 American Philatelic Society, www.stamps.org page 2008-4 2008 United States Postal Service Issues Tropical Fruit April 25 Five 27-cent definitive stamps picture tropical fruit that looks good enough to eat. Slices or halves of the five tropical fruits - pomegranate, kiwi, star fruit, papaya and guava - are sure to make your mouth water. Guava may be round, oval, or pear-shaped, with pulp that has a soft, creamy texture. All of the more than 100 species of this fruit grows in the tropics or subtropics, some on trees and others on low shrubs. The kiwi, also called kiwifruit, is an oval-shaped fruit with rows of small, black edible seeds among its bright green flesh. It is native to China, but is now grown in many countries, includ- ing the United States. The Hawaiian papaya is a large pear-shaped fruit, often weighing up to one pound. The orange or pink colored flesh is sweet and juicy. The Mexican papaya has the same flavor as the Hawaiian variety, but is much larger and may weigh up to ten pounds. The pomegranate is a round-shaped fruit, with a pulp that is a combination of sweet and tart. Although native to the area from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India, today the pomegran- ate is grown around much of the world, including the United States. The star fruit, also known as a carambola, is a sweet tasting fruit, named for its shape. This tropical fruit, native to Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and southern China, is now grown in Hawaii and Florida.

    Unlikely Transfusions: Wise Blood and The Grapes of Wrath John D. Seelye Steinbeck Studies, Volume 15, Number 1, Spring 2004, pp. 41-45 (Article) Published by The Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/stn.2004.0022 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/172420 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] UNLIKELY TRANSFUSIONS: WISE BLOOD AND THE GRAPES OF WRATH JOHN SEELYE THE LIST OF AMERICAN AUTHORS whose novels are in- debted for situations and materials (and popularity) to the novels and stories of John Steinbeck is impressive, from Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s The Yearling and Mary O’Hara’s My Friend Flicka. I would like to add Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood, a text clearly inspired by the surreal ironies of Nathaniel West and one that would seem to be whole worlds apart from the re- alistic, empathetic zone created by Steinbeck. Indeed, I had been teaching both Wise Blood and Of Mice and Men in an un- dergraduate course on the novella for a year or two before the possibility of a connection became clear, not with the story of Lennie and George but with the much more ambitious epic of the Joad family. Tom Joad’s return home from a stretch in prison for manslaughter is a memorable beginning for Steinbeck’s novel, starting with his angry response to a truck driver’s curiosity and ending as he stands in front of the Joad house, abandoned in the wake of the great dust storms of the Depression years in Okla- homa.

  • Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
    Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12.

  • Statement of Tom Blanton
    Statement of Thomas Blanton Director, National Security Archive, George Washington University www.nsarchive.org To the Committee on the Judiciary U.S. House of Representatives Hearing on the Espionage Act and the Legal and Constitutional Implications of Wikileaks Thursday, December 16, 2010 Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2141 Washington D.C. Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Smith, and members of the Committee, thank you for your invitation to testify today on the implications of the Wikileaks controversy. I am reminded of the ancient Chinese curse, “May you live in interesting times.” I have three main points to make today: First, the government always overreacts to leaks, and history shows we end up with more damage from the overreaction than from the original leak. Second, the government’s national security classification system is broken, overwhelmed with too much secrecy, which actually prevents the system from protecting the real secrets. The rest should all come out. Third, we are well into a syndrome that one senior government official called “Wikimania,” where Wikimyths are common and there is far more heat than light – heat that will actually produce more leaks, more crackdowns, less accountable government, and diminished security. By way of background, I should say right up front that my organization, the National Security Archive, has not gotten any 1.6 gigabyte thumb drives in the mail in response to our many Freedom of Information Act requests, nor have we found any Bradley Mannings among the many highly professional FOIA officers who handle our cases. It’s a lot more work to pry loose 1 national security documents the way we do it, but then it’s a lot of work worth doing to make the rule of law a reality and give real force to the Freedom of Information Act.

  • Writings: Speech on Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Version 3
    Let us begin with Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. In 1928, Marjorie and her husband Charles Rawlings had been working as journalist in New York for the Rochester Journal American, yet both felt unfulfilled by their careers. She often stated a wish to be recognized as a writer, yet for all her submissions of short stories and poetry she had received only rejection notices. The opportunity of a Florida vacation resulted from Charles' brothers Jimmy and Wray working in Florida. A much needed vacation, for the marriage had not been going well for these two.
