    Paramount Collection Airtight To control the air is to rule the world. Nuclear testing has fractured the Earth's crust, releasing poisonous gases into the atmosphere. Breathable air is now an expensive and rare commodity. A few cities have survived by constructing colossal air stacks which reach through the toxic layer to the remaining pocket of precious air above. The air is pumped into a huge underground labyrinth system, where a series of pipes to the surface feed the neighborhoods of the sealed city. It is the Air Force, known as the "tunnel hunters", that polices the system. Professor Randolph Escher has made a breakthrough in a top-secret project, the extraction of oxygen from salt water in quantity enough to return breathable air to the world. Escher is kidnapped by business tycoon Ed Conrad, who hopes to monopolize the secret process and make a fortune selling the air by subscription to the masses. Because Conrad Industries controls the air stacks, not subscribing to his "air service" would mean certain death. When Air Force Team Leader Flyer Lucci is murdered, his son Rat Lucci soon uncovers Conrad's involvement in his father's death and in Escher's kidnapping. Rat must go after Conrad, not only to avenge his father's murder, but to rescue Escher and his secret process as well. The loyalties of Rat's Air Force colleagues are questionable, but Rat has no choice. Alone, if necessary, he must fight for humanity's right to breathe.

    FRASIER: A CULTURAL HISTORY Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2017 ROBERT MURTAGH Universidad de Almería [email protected] 177 Part of independent publisher Rowman & Littlefield’s “Cultural History of Television” series that (according to their website) “will focus on iconic television shows” from the 1950s to the present that have had a lasting impact on world culture, Frasier: A Cultural History joins a collection of extant publications on defining sitcoms such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Star Trek. The authors of the text in question, Joseph J. Darowski and Kate Darowski, are self-confessed Frasier fans with a background in different ambits of cultural study (the former as editor of the “Ages of Superheroes” essay series and author of X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor: Race and Gender in the Comic Books and the latter having researched the history of decorative arts and design). Above all, they share a mutual appreciation for all things Crane. From a structural perspective, the book is divided into two parts: “Part I: Making A Classic” and “Part II: Under Analysis”. Each section is further subdivided into four separate topics. The first deals with: the evolution of Cheers to the emergence of Frasier Crane; the story behind the eclectic cast; character profiles of Frasier, Niles, Martin and Eddy; and finally, a discussion of Daphne and Roz. The second part, as the name suggests, is more academically inclined with chapters examining ongoing character development in the Crane household; an in-depth look at Frasier’s apartment from structural and aesthetic perspectives, as well as in contrast to Niles’s home at the Montana; an analysis of set decoration, particularly chairs; and lastly, the representation of women, gender and race.

Usually, I come up with an idea for a relationship or situation and the theme emerges. This time I had the theme first. “Our need to be remembered.” (Call it my mid-AARP crisis.) So I needed a setting that best resonated with that theme. My answer: baseball. Baseball is the one sport in which the present is intricately linked with its past. (Sure I could have gone with the NSA, but baseball seemed more fun.) Once I locked in on the National Pastime as the canvass, the rest was easy. As luck would have it, I’ve spent twenty-five years in major league baseball as a broadcaster and journalist, so I kinda know the world.

  • And Course Credit at U.S.C.)
    Now Funny People Can Get Respect (and Course Credit at U.S.C.) By MICHAEL CIEPLY November 11, 2011 BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Crammed into a booth at the Nate ’n Al Delicatessen — the professionally funny call it “the commissary” — Barnet Kellman, David Isaacs and Jack Epps Jr., from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, were trying to explain over a plate of pickles why those who create screen comedy deserve academic respect. Barnett Kellman, Jack Epps, Jr. and David Isaacs, the three principals of Comedy@SCA “These are serious people, you don’t treat them — ” began Mr. Kellman. “As a joke,” finished Mr. Epps. “Excuse me, you don’t belong with that group,” a nearby wiseguy piped up at one point. “Why not?” asked Mr. Epps. “You have hair.” Beginning next year, a new initiative at U.S.C. will offer university courses for those who would write, direct, edit and produce funnier stuff than the guy in the next booth. Organized by Mr. Kellman, Mr. Isaacs and Mr. Epps, the curriculum will not amount to a full-blown college major. But its founders describe it as perhaps the most extensive effort by an American university to examine and foster the manufacture of humor. The initiative will be introduced at the three-day “Comedy@SCA” festival, which begins on Friday evening with a discussion between Steve Carell and the film director Peter Segal (“Get Smart”). That session and others with the likes of Ivan Reitman (“No Strings Attached”), Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids”) and James Bobin (“The Muppets”) are already full, though the event was promoted only among the university’s students and alumni.

  • American Society, Stereotypical Roles, and Asian Characters in M*A*S*H
    AMERICAN SOCIETY, STEREOTYPICAL ROLES, AND ASIAN CHARACTERS IN M*A*S*H Ashley Marie Stevens A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2016 Committee: Michael Brooks, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Ashley Marie Stevens All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael Brooks, Advisor M*A*S*H is an iconic, eleven season (1972-1983), American television series that was produced on the tail end of the Vietnam War during a period of upheaval for the American public. Set in Korea during the Korean War, M*A*S*H was a satire on the war in Vietnam. As a result, M*A*S*H presents numerous Asian (Korean) characters throughout the series, but often in limited, stereotypical roles. Despite producing America’s most watched final season episode “Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen,” and being granted several Emmy nominations and awards, M*A*S*H has all but evaded lengthy academic study. This thesis primarily uses newspapers, both local and national, to understand how Asian stereotypes are presented in M*A*S*H with relationship to American society. Through the analysis of seven Asian-centered character roles, including; farmer/villager, houseboy/housekeeper, prostitute, war bride, peddler/hustler, orphan, and enemy, I explore the foundations of these stereotypes as well as how they were being utilized to reassure Americans of their own communal, Cold War, beliefs in a time of distress. I explore how these roles change and adapt over the course of the series and what may be motivating these changes, such as the Asian- American, Civil Rights and women’s rights movements, and changing Cold War ideologies and objectives.
