  • Folks: This Is a Two-Item Article but Both Deal with the Issue of Disability
    Folks: This is a two-item article but both deal with the issue of disability. Read, digest, and be prepared to be tested on it. The King's Speech Highlights the Plight of Those who Stutter By Stuttering Foundation Speech Therapy Gets the Royal Treatment... With the release of the new movie, The King's Speech, starring Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, it is most timely to highlight the plight of those who stutter and the resources that are available to them. This incredibly complex disorder affects more than three million people in this country alone. The movie deals solely with King George VI's debilitating stutter and his relationship with Lionel Logue, the Australian speech therapist retained to help him overcome his disability. "I am delighted that The King's Speech will introduce a new generation of young people to the inspiring story of King George VI," noted Jane Fraser, president of The Stuttering Foundation. "He continues to be a powerful role model whose broadcasts of hope kept the spirits of the British people alive during the dark days of World War II. He even inspired my father, Malcolm Fraser, who founded The Stuttering Foundation." Malcolm Fraser felt the same dread of speaking in public that the King experienced in the 1940s. Fraser, a successful businessman, went on to establish and endow the 64‐year‐old nonprofit in 1947. "While the film will be viewed as entertainment by the movie‐going public, it will particularly resonate for people who struggle with stuttering on a daily basis," Ms. Fraser added.

  • Something Interesting Is Happening. Harvey Weinstein Was the King of Hollywood
    Something interesting is happening. Harvey Weinstein was the king of Hollywood. The King. He was also a bully that used his male power and privilege to harass and abuse women. His behavior was allowed to persist for years. Until now. Someone said something, and then someone else said something. Suddenly, a bigger conversation is happening. Why did it take years, decades, so many women impacted? Why are there so many examples, just like this one, in the worlds of politics, sports, families, and corporate environments? Let's make sure we keep this conversation going. Meet the boys and girls from Maine. Thousands of young people in Maine have worked with Maine Boys to Men and could talk with Harvey about the realities of male power and privilege, what empathy and emotional connectedness with others means, why gender equity in relationships is a good thing for everybody. They could talk with The Men Who Kept Harvey Weinstein Safe about what it means to be an ally; to stand up with women and girls to stop these actions before they become violent. They could explain the power that bystanders have and describe specific ways to disrupt sexist, disrespectful, and abusive behaviors long before they get to this point. In short, Harvey and so many others could learn a lot from the boys and girls from Maine! The Proof. A recent evaluation of our middle school Reducing Sexism and Violence Program (RSVP), led by the University of New Hampshire, demonstrated a significant decrease in the endorsement of attitudes supporting male power and privilege, a self- reported increase in emotional awareness, and a significant increase in the endorsement of gender equity in relationships! Multiple 3rd party evaluations of RSVP for High School, including a two- year study by the Maine Center for Public Health, showed that RSVP changes attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs about sexism, sexual harassment, and gender-based violence.

    LIONEL LOGUE - SPEECH THERAPIST 0. LIONEL LOGUE - SPEECH THERAPIST - Story Preface 1. ALBERT FREDERICK ARTHUR GEORGE 2. BERTIE and ELIZABETH 3. "WEDDING of the CENTURY" 4. BERTIE'S STAMMER 5. LIONEL LOGUE - SPEECH THERAPIST 6. OVERCOMING THE STAMMER 7. BERTIE BECOMES KING 8. THE KING'S SPEECH A Scottish publisher named John Murray V—who was known as “Jack”—had a nephew with a stammer. John ('Jock') Murray VI—who ultimately became Jack’s heir—was greatly helped by Lionel Logue. From a letter discovered in Jack’s papers, maintained at the National Library of Scotland, it seems likely that it was Jack Murray who suggested Lionel Logue as a person who could help Prince Albert, the Duke of York. The letter dated May 18, 1925—which was about five months before the Duke of York’s difficult address at Wembley on October 31st that year—acknowledges a discussion about Logue. It was sent to Jack Murray by King George’s private secretary Baron (Lord) Stamfordham. Fifteen years older than the Duke of York, Lionel Logue was born in Adelaide, South Australia on the 26th of February, 1880. While in high school, he discovered poetry. Finding that he loved the rhythm of words, Logue began to concentrate on speaking them well. Soon he began to give public recitations, at a time—before the days of radio and television—when people enjoyed such events. He, and his work, became very popular. In 1907, Lionel married Myrtle Gruenert. Several inches taller than her husband, Myrtle—like Logue—loved amateur dramatics. “Liney” (as Myrtle called her husband) once described his partner to a news reporter: My wife is a most athletic woman.

  • Scandal, Social Movement, and Change: Evidence from #Metoo in Hollywood∗
    Scandal, Social Movement, and Change: Evidence from #MeToo in Hollywood∗ Hong Luo† Laurina Zhang‡ First draft: April 24, 2020 Revised version: December 2, 2020 Abstract Social movements have the potential to effect change in strategic decision making. In this paper, we examine whether the #MeToo movement, spurred by the Harvey Weinstein scandal, leads to changes in the likelihood of Hollywood producers working with female writers on new movie projects. Since #MeToo affected the entire industry, we use variation in whether producers had past collaborations with Weinstein to investigate whether and how #MeToo may spur change. We find that producers previously associated with Weinstein are, on average, about 35-percent more likely to work with female writers after the scandal than they were before, relative to non-associated producers; and the size of this effect increases with the intensity of the association. Female producers are the main drivers of our results, perhaps because they are more likely than male producers to resonate with the movement’s cause and face relatively low costs of enacting change. Changes made by other groups, such as production teams with the most intense association with Weinstein and less-experienced all-male teams, may be better explained by motivations to mitigate risk. We also find that producers do not sacrifice writer experience by hiring more female writers and that both experienced and novice female writers have benefited from the increased demand. Our study shows that social movements that seek to address gender inequality can, indeed, lead to meaningful change. It also provides perspective for thinking about whether, and to what extent, changes may occur in broader settings.

  • Miramax's Asian Experiment: Creating a Model for Crossover Hits Lisa Dombrowski , Wesleyan University, US
    Miramax's Asian Experiment: Creating a Model for Crossover Hits Lisa Dombrowski , Wesleyan University, US Prior to 1996, no commercial Chinese-language film had scored a breakout hit in the United States since the end of the 1970s kung fu craze. In the intervening period, the dominant distribution model for Asian films in America involved showcasing subtitled, auteur-driven art cinema in a handful of theaters in New York and Los Angeles, then building to ever more screens in a platform fashion, targeting college towns and urban theaters near affluent, older audiences. With the American fan base for Hong Kong action films steadily growing through video and specialized exhibition during the 1980s, Miramax chieftain Harvey Weinstein recognized the opportunity to market more commercial Chinese-language films to a wider audience outside the art cinema model as a means of generating crossover hits. Beginning in 1995, Weinstein positioned Miramax to become the primary distributor of Hong Kong action films in the United States. Miramax's acquisition and distribution strategy for Hong Kong action films was grounded in a specific set of assumptions regarding how to appeal to mass-market American tastes. The company targeted action-oriented films featuring recognizable genre conventions and brand- name stars, considering such titles both favorites of hardcore Hong Kong film fans and accessible enough to attract new viewers. Rather than booking its Hong Kong theatrical acquisitions into art cinemas, Miramax favored wide releases to multiplexes accompanied by marketing campaigns designed to highlight the action and hide the "foreignness" of the films. Miramax initially adopted a strategy of dubbing, re-scoring, re-editing, and often re-titling its Hong Kong theatrical and video/DVD releases in order to make them more appealing to mainstream American audiences.

For the second time in the lives of most of us, we are at war. Over and over again we have tried to find a peaceful way out of the differences between ourselves and those who are now our enemies. But it has been in vain. We have been forced into a conflict, for we are called to meet the challenge of a principle, which, if it were to prevail, would be fatal to any civilized order in the world. Such a principle, stripped of all disguise, is surely the mere primitive doctrine that might is right. For the sake of all that we ourselves hold dear, it is unthinkable that we should refuse to meet the challenge. It is to this high purpose that I now call my people at home, and my peoples across the seas, who will make our cause their own. I ask them to stand calm and firm and united in this time of trial.
