M. Brooks, Statistical Reporting Service, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture 1977 I FOREWORD The Statistical Reporting Service, as with any organization, needs to know its past to understand the present and appraise the future. Accordingly, our technical procedures are peri- ^odically set forth in ''Scope and Methods of the Statistical Reporting Service," and the agency's early development and program expansion were presented in "The Story of Agricultural Estimates." However, most important are the people who de- veloped this complex and efficient statistical service for agriculture and those who maintain and expand it today. Dr. Harry C. Trelogan, SRS Administrator, 1961-1975, arranged for Emerson M. Brooks to prepare this informal account of some of the people who steered SRS's course from 1933 to 1961. The series of biographical sketches selected by the author are representative of the people who helped develop the per- sonality of SRS and provide the talent to meet challenges for accurate and timely agricultural information. This narrative touching the critical issues of that period and the way they'^ were resolved adds to our understanding of the agency and helps maintain the esprit de corps that has strengthened our work since it started in 1862. Our history provides us some valuable lessons, for "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." W.

  • Determination in Apocalyptic Literature from the Wycliffe Bible of 1388 to the United Nations World Conference on Human Rights of 1993
    1 CREATORS, CREATURES AND VICTIM-SURVIVORS: WORD, SILENCE AND SOME HUMANE VOICES OF SELF- DETERMINATION IN APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE FROM THE WYCLIFFE BIBLE OF 1388 TO THE UNITED NATIONS WORLD CONFERENCE ON HUMAN RIGHTS OF 1993 Penelope Susan Keable Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Studies in Religion at the University of Sydney November, 1994 2 THE TITLE Creators, Creatures And Victim-Survivors: Word, Silence And Some Humane Voices Of Self-Determination In Apocalyptic Literature From The Wycliffe Bible Of 1388 To The United Nations World Conference On Human Rights Of 1993 THE THESIS In contemporary apocalyptic rhetoric, polyvalent figures of victim-survivors augment creator-creature dualism, ancient and current. Particular attention is paid to a shift in the creator-creature motif which was foreshadowed in the writings of Giambattista Vico and has been carried forward into contemporary criticism by Northrop Frye. This pursuit attempts to make available to contemporary concern an appreciation of a variety of concepts of humanity, all of which may contribute to an enhanced toleration of diversity. THE ARGUMENT A very simple argument is pursued against the acceptance of one-eyed visions and univocal utterances in interpretation of apocalyptic rhetoric. It is an argument for paying attention to miscellaneous images and polyvalent utterances. This entails an accommodation in thought of convergent and divergent horizons of imagery. So it is an argument for thoughtful tolerance. 3 ABSTRACT This analysis of apocalyptic rhetoric brings nine generations of the written text of the Johannine Apocalypse into a contemporary (1989-1994) framework which includes phenomena such as self-determination, mutual interdependence and psychoterror.

  • 1984-1986 Acts of Mind
    ACTS OF MIND II Interviews by Richard Jackson Edited by Richard Jackson and Michael A. Beard FACT, EXPERIENCE, RELEASE An Interview with Sharon Olds, 1986 PM: What do you think is the relation between truth and fact in poetry and in everyday life? Some poets and critics subscribe to the notion that no facts are really relevant, that you just go with the flow of language wherever that leads you. Some see a dramatic and dialectic relationship. For a lot of critics, only poetry that subscribes to a certain mindset or dogma is true, but poetry that is “rhapsodic,” as one critic describes poetry that emphasizes verbal play, is not serious for them. These critics often seem to be against exploration and provisional discovery and for stasis, for absolute values, sometimes absolute forms, a perverted formalism. Of course, all these categories are oversimplifications anyways, but I know your poems contain many historical and factual references, like “Photograph of the Girl,” so perhaps this would be a way to begin. SO: Well, poems contain facts. “Photograph of the Girl” contains facts. There’s the fact of her age, that she’s going to die, that there is a famine, the fact of puberty. I think facts are important, and trying to state truths, too. I feel secure with the poems of Phil Levine because of that. I have a poem about a guy who almost jumped off the roof across the way. Perhaps, according to the view of those critics, there are not facts there, but to me it’s all facts.

    CHELSEA STATION EDITED BY jAMESON CURRIER fall 2016 16 2012 a new destination for gay literatureALA Rainbow Book Now Back in Print WHERE THE RAINBOW ENDS Lambda Literary Finalist a novel by Jameson Currier “Jameson Currier’s debut novel, Where the Rainbow Ends, moved me to tears more than once and, simply put, is one of the best pieces of gay literature I have ever read. Rather than focusing on and wallowing in the heavy melodrama that the AIDS epidemic seems to produce in most writers, Currier shows both the highs and lows. The lives of these incredibly well-drawn, three-dimensional people encompass all of the emotion that is found in gay/ lesbian life. The book is about creating a sense of family, and most of all, it is about hope. In Robbie, Currier has created a gay Everyman we can all identify with, love, and root for. This is one novel that I was sorry to see end. With this work, Currier has established himself as one of the preeminent gay novelists, not just of the 1990s, 978-0-9832851-6-8 but of all time. This book should be required reading for $20 every gay man, period.” Also available in digital editions —Greg Herren, Impact Also by Jameson Currier Dancing on the Moon Still Dancing “De ant and elegaic.” “Courageous.” e Village Voice Edge www.chelseastationeditions.com Fall 2016 Chelsea Station Edited by Jameson Currier Chelsea Station Contents Fall 2016 copyright © 2016 Chelsea Station Editions October 17: “Laughing,” poetry by Charles Springer October 18: “The Dancing Bear,” from The Sea is Quiet Tonight, memoir by Founder, Publisher, and Editor: Michael H.

And yet those few photons which, having travelled this unimaginable distance in time and space, impinge upon our eyes can excite the most profound and varied of feelings, can change, dispel, or deepen our moods, incite and admix awe, wonder, and utter loneliness, and even, if we should happen to be so fortunate, entangle themselves in those universally expansive feelings of inseparable closeness impressed upon us as the very moment of love’s realization in a starlit kiss.

    Appendix A: Alphabetical List of all Name Suggestions 1. Angela Angela Davis was a revolutionary leader in and ally of the Black Panther Party and Black Davis Power movement of the 1960s and 70s. Her resounding activism challenged the authority of the oppressive Nixon administration and the segregationist sentiments that lingered in the country after the signing of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, and she worked hard to improve her own East Bay community (including Berkeley).
