Austen's concerns with the ambiguous relationship of the private life to public norms and with the changing nature of the family are not cor:ipatible to the epistolar;y- structure o In the decade of the 1790 's., Austen wrote· four epistolary works: Love and Freindship ., Lady Susan ., Elinor and Marianne., and First Impressions� Of these ., only the first has a subject compatible to its vehicle of the letter; the later three. because they were reworked into narratives with included letters suggest that Austen felt that letters were inadequate f'or her emerging theme of the collapse of social order.

  • WNET Licensing (A's)
    The “A’s” (Source: NET microfiche, unless listed) Aaron Copland Meets the Soviet Composers (1959) Initial Broadcast: N/A Number of programs: 1 Origin Format: Undetermined Running time: 30 minutes AARON COPLAND MEETS THE SOVIET COMPOSERS is a half-hour studio production kinescope of an interview between Copland and six Soviet musicians, musicologists and/or composers who were travelling in the US. My impression is that this was a visit in return for one made to the USSR by an American group earlier that included Menned (?), Sessions, Harris and Kay (?). The setting for the interview is a recreated concert hall stage with the guests sitting in players’ chairs and Copland and his translator located where a solo instrumentalist would be seated. The questions appear to have been scripted in advance – and scripts placed on the music stands. The responses from the Soviets appear to have been ad lib. Copland’s questions were translated into Russian by an American (?) of Russian origins, Nicholas Slonimsky, himself a musician. The Soviets spoke in Russian and were heard through simultaneous translation. The translator was unseen and uncredited. The Soviet guests include (in order of answering questions): Dmitri Kabalevsky, Boris Yarustovsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Konstantin Dankevich and Fikret Amirov. Kabalevsky was asked about the knowledge of American music in the USSR; Yarustovsky on the influence of American music on Russian music; Khrennikov on the reactions of Soviet musicians to the visit of four American musicians earlier (in the exchange program?); Shostakovich on American jaZZ and its influence; Dankevich on younger Soviet composers and Amirov on the adaption of native musical types to series music.

    <BillNo> <Sponsor> HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 223 By Travis A RESOLUTION to recognize and honor beloved Tennessean and cultural icon Dolly Parton. WHEREAS, Dolly Parton is one of Tennessee's most beloved and accomplished daughters, a supremely gifted and multi-talented writer, entertainer, and businesswoman whose compassionate spirit is at the heart of all she does and whose philanthropy has touched the lives of millions around the world; and WHEREAS, born on January 19, 1946, on a farm in Sevier County, Ms. Parton is the fourth of Robert Lee and Avie Lee Parton's twelve children; what her family lacked in financial resources, they made up for with a wealth of love for one another and for music. By age ten, she was performing on local television and radio shows in Knoxville; and WHEREAS, Dolly Parton left for Nashville the day after her high school graduation in 1964; a mere three years later, country music superstar Porter Wagoner began featuring her on his popular syndicated television show, bringing her into the homes of over 45 million viewers in more than 100 markets and attracting the attention of RCA Records; and WHEREAS, Dolly went on to have fourteen top-ten hits with Porter, an auspicious start to her legendary career, which took off during the 1970s, when she was named the Country Music Association (CMA) Female Artist of the Year two years in a row and, in 1978, honored as the CMA Entertainer of the Year, one of only six female artists ever to garner the title; and WHEREAS, renowned the world over for her songwriting, Dolly Parton has penned many classics that have transcended genre, including "Jolene" and "Coat of Many Colors"; the singular "I Will Always Love You" made her the only person to earn a number one record three times with the same song.

  • Is the Bible Gods Word?
    IS THE BIBLE GODS WORD? By Ahmed Deedat CHAPTER ONE WHAT THEY SAY CHRI STIANS CONFESS Dr. W. Graham Scroggie of the MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE, Chicago, one of the most prestigious Christian Evangelical Mission in the world, answering the question — "Is the Bible the Word of God?" (also the title of his book), under the heading: IT IS HUMAN, YET DIVINE. He says on page 17: "Yes, the Bible is human, though some, out of zeal which is not according to knowledge, 1 have denied this. Those books2 have passed through the minds of men, are written in the language of men, were penned by the hands of men, and bear in their style the characteristics of men." (Emphasis added). Another erudite Christian scholar, Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, says on page 277 of his book, "The Call of the Minaret": "Not so the New Testament3 . There is condensation and editing; 4 there is choice, reproduction and witness. The Gospels have come through the mind of the Church behind the authors. They represent experience and history." 5 If words have any meaning, do we need to add another word of comment to prove our case? No! But the professional propagandists, after letting the cat out of the bag, still have the face to try to make their readers believe that they have proved beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Bible is the "irrefragable 6 Word of God." Their semantic gymnastics — equivocating, and playing with words — is amazing! 1. Out of ignorance. 2. The Bible is not Just a Book.
