Law and Order
THE HAMLYN LECTURES Thirty-seventh series Law and Order Ralf Dahrendorf K.B.E., F.B.A. STEVENS Law and Order by Ralf Dahrendorf K.B.E., F.B.A. Professor of Social Science in the University of Constance; formerly Director of the London School of Economics In this book, based on his 1985 Hamlyn Lectures, Professor Ralf Dahrendorf considers the fundamental questions posed for the social order of free countries by the decline in respect for the law. Taking as his point of departure the terrors of our streets and the riots in our football grounds, Professor Dahrendorf discusses the implication for social order and liberty of such issues as unemployment, the cracks in the party system and the growing disorientation of the young. There are four major themes in the book— • The Road to Anomia—crime statistics are but the most dramatic symptoms of a loosening of social ties and norms. • Seeking Rousseau, Finding Hobbes—a widespread dream of goodness has resulted in the dismantling of some of the institutions designed to protect us from badness. • The Struggle for the Social Contract—underlying social changes have led from the class struggle to conflicts about the boundaries of society. • Society and Liberty—most reactions to the new condition involve threats to liberty—we need to reassert the links between law, order and liberty. Professor Dahrendorf has had a most distinguished career, both in his native Germany and in the United Kingdom. In Law and Order he offers a lively and stimulating analysis of a topic of vital importance in the life of every citizen. -

1/11/2020 Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ‘Get Smart’ and Adapt ‘The Graduate,’ Dies at 89 - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2N7atsQ Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ʻGet Smartʼ and Adapt ʻThe Graduate,ʼ Dies at 89 An unassuming screenwriter and actor, Mr. Henry thought up quirky characters with Mel Brooks and inhabited many more on “Saturday Night Live.” By Bruce Weber Published Jan. 9, 2020 Updated Jan. 10, 2020 Buck Henry, a writer and actor who exerted an often overlooked but potent influence on television and movie comedy — creating the loopy prime-time spy spoof “Get Smart” with Mel Brooks, writing the script for Mike Nichols’s landmark social satire “The Graduate” and teaming up with John Belushi in the famous samurai sketches on “Saturday Night Live” — died on Wednesday in Los Angeles. He was 89. His wife, Irene Ramp, said his death, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was caused by a heart attack. John Belushi, left, and Mr. Henry in the 1978 “Saturday Night Live” sketch “Samurai Optometrist.” Fred Hermansky/NBCUniversal via Getty Images As a personality and a performer, Mr. Henry had a mild and unassuming aspect that was usually in contrast with the pungently satirical or broadly slapstick material he appeared in — and often wrote. Others in the room always seemed to make more noise. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/movies/buck-henry-dead.html 1/6 1/11/2020 Buck Henry, Who Helped Create ‘Get Smart’ and Adapt ‘The Graduate,’ Dies at 89 - The New York Times Indeed, for almost 50 years he was a Zelig-like figure in American comedy, a ubiquitous if underrecognized presence not only in grand successes but also in grand failures. -
The Problem with Borat
Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education Volume 11 | Issue 1 Article 9 December 2007 The rP oblem with Borat Ghada Chehade Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.lsu.edu/taboo Recommended Citation Chehade, G. (2017). The rP oblem with Borat. Taboo: The Journal of Culture and Education, 11 (1). https://doi.org/10.31390/ taboo.11.1.09 Taboo, Spring-Summer-Fall-WinterGhada Chehade 2007 63 The Problem with Borat Ghada Chehade There is just something about Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen’s barbaric alter-ego who The Observer’s Oliver Marre (2006) aptly describes as “…homophobic, rac- ist, and misogynist as well as anti-Semitic.” While on the surface, Cohen’s Borat may seem to offend all races equally—the one group he offends the most is the very group he portrays as homophobic, racist, misogynist, and anti-Semitic. Or in other words, the real parties vilified by Cohen are not Borat’s victims but Borat himself. The humour is ultimately directed at this uncivilized buffoon-Borat. He is the butt of every joke. He is the one we laugh at, and are intended to laugh at, the most inasmuch as he is more vulgar, savage, ignorant, barbaric, and racist than any of the bigoted Americans “exposed” in the 2006 film Borat: Cultural Learn- ings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. This would not be quite as problematic if the fictional Borat did not come from a very real place and did not so obviously (mis)represent Muslims. While the 2006 film has received coverage and praise for revealing the racism of Americans, very few people are asking whether Cohen’s caricature of a savage, homophobic, misogynist, racist, and hard core Jew-hating Muslim is not actually a form of anti-Muslim racism. -

Water in the Movies
water brief 3 Peter H. Gleick Water is a theme that runs through all forms of popular culture, from books to myths to Hollywood and international films, with a growing number of shorter video pieces posted online at YouTube and similar sites. A surprising number of popular movies, going back almost to the first days of movie-making, have incorporated the issue of water disputes and conflicts over water rights and allocation as a central theme. Below Wateris a list of some in of these the classic Movies (good and bad) films. I’ve also included a few links to online shorter videos related to water. Huge numbers of these are available; here are just a few of my favorites. Feel free to send suggestions of others to [email protected]. Three Word Brand (1921): Paul and Brand (twins separated at birth, played by William S. Hart) become, respectively, governor of Utah and a partner in a ranch where neigh- boring ranchers are trying to get control of local water rights. Riders of Destiny (1933): Government agent Saunders (John Wayne) fights a local rancher Popularwho controls Movies/Films the local water supply and is trying to force other ranchers into con- tracts for water at exorbitant rates. King of the Pecos (1936): John Wayne stars in a classic battle over western water rights and land in the Pecos River country. Law of the Ranger (1937): Another western with a monopolistic rancher claiming local water rights. Bill Nash (John Merton), owner of the local water company and town boss, tries to control the valley’s water rights by building a reservoir, but he must get control of the key property and murders the rightful owner to do so.
