Just ask Lucy.” —Desi Arnaz From 1951 through 1956, I Love Lucy was the most-watched show in television. Its episodes are currently being colorized in an attempt to lure new generations of 21st-Century consumers. Its launch was as rocky as the marriage of the real-life stars, and their marriage was characterized by violent fights and long separations, though it staggered along for two traumatic decades. Desi’s obsession with sex became legendary. He seduced every prostitute in Polly Adler’s infamous New York City whorehouse. In Hollywood, Lana Turner and Judy Garland came and went from his life, along with countless showgirls and hometown gals attending his on-the-road band shows. Meanwhile, Lucy waited for his return, occupying her nights with the son (Elliott Roosevelt) of the US president, actor/mobster George (“Black Snake”) Raft, and George Sanders, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s suicidal husband. Broderick Crawford, who desperately wanted to marry her, beat her up when she refused. Coming and going from her boudoir were—among many others—William Holden, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Henry Fonda, Orson Welles, and Robert Mitchum. By the early 1950s, the careers of both Lucy and Desi had run out of gas. There was a lot of resistance among TV executives who objected to his Cuban accent. Nevertheless, I Love Lucy was launched and shot up in the ratings like a rocket, morphing into the most successful sitcom in TV history.

  • Spheres Inspired by Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas at the National Quilt Museum
    QuiltMuseum.org/BlockOfTheMonth AUGUST 2019 Spheres inspired by Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas at the National Quilt Museum Quilt: Levitate by Danny Amazonas AUGUST 2019 Inspiration Levitate by Danny Amazonas Freehand Patchwork by Danny Amazonas is on exhibit at the National Quilt Museum from July 12 – October 15. “I realized working with fabric is far more complicated than painting technique-wise. A fiber artist won’t be able to mix colors in a palette, but can collect an array of colors and shades of fabric in order to create a unique piece of art with a full spectrum of colors. I love to cut fabric in large chunks to show the beauty of textile designs, and those designers should be praised and credited as well. Every piece of my artwork is machine sewn with invisible thread free-motion stitches.” Danny’s use of color and value creates visual depth and movement in each quilt. This month’s Block of the Month pattern incorporates many of these elements so you can experiment with color, large-scale prints, and dimension. Page 2 AUGUST 2019 Quilter: Danny Amazonas “I was born in Taiwan and always loved art in Danny Amazonas all forms. As a jack-of-all-trades I tried painting, sculpture, making gold jewelry, professional floral design, and even got into international cuisine! In the early ‘80s, I was working with mosaic art using various materials. When I returned home to Taiwan in the ’90s, I discovered the world of colorful fabrics and the art of quilting. I perceived quilting as the art of sewing pieces of fabric together to create a beautiful design.

  • The US Anti- Apartheid Movement and Civil Rights Memory
    BRATYANSKI, JENNIFER A., Ph.D. Mainstreaming Movements: The U.S. Anti- Apartheid Movement and Civil Rights Memory (2012) Directed by Dr. Thomas F. Jackson. 190pp. By the time of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, in 1990, television and film had brought South Africa’s history of racial injustice and human rights violations into living rooms and cinemas across the United States. New media formats such as satellite and cable television widened mobilization efforts for international opposition to apartheid. But at stake for the U.S. based anti-apartheid movement was avoiding the problems of media misrepresentation that previous transnational movements had experienced in previous decades. Movement participants and supporters needed to connect the liberation struggles in South Africa to the historical domestic struggles for racial justice. What resulted was the romanticizing of a domestic civil rights memory through the mediated images of the anti-apartheid struggle which appeared between 1968 and 1994. Ultimately, both the anti-apartheid and civil rights movements were sanitized of their radical roots, which threatened the ongoing struggles for black economic advancement in both countries. MAINSTREAMING MOVEMENTS: THE U.S. ANTI-APARTHEID MOVEMENT AND CIVIL RIGHTS MEMEORY by Jennifer A. Bratyanski A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Greensboro 2012 Approved by Thomas F.

  • THE MEDIUMSHIP of ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship
    THE MEDIUMSHIP OF ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship by HARRY EDWARDS Captain, Indian Army Reserve of Officers. Lieutenant, Home Guard. Parliamentary Candidate North Camberwell 1929 and North-West Camberwell 1936. London County Council Candidate 1928, 1931, 1934, 1937. Leader of the Balham Psychic Research Society. Author of ‘The Mediumship of Jack Webber’ First Published by: THE PSYCHIC BOOK CLUB 144 High Holborn, London, W.C. 1 FOREWORD Apart from the report by Mr. W. Harrison of the early development of Mr. Arnold Clare's mediumship, the descriptions of the séances, the revelations of Peter and the writing of this book took place during the war years 1940-41. As enemy action on London intensified, the physical séances ceased and in the autumn of 1940 were replaced by discussion circles. The first few circles took place in the author's house before a company of about twenty people. It was soon appreciated that the intelligence (known as Peter), speaking through the entranced medium, was of a high order and worthy of reporting. So these large discussion groups gave way to a small circle held in the medium's house, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clare, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Edwards and the author, an occasional visitor and with Mrs. W. B. Cleveland as stenographer. The procedure at these circles would be that, in normal white light, Mr. Clare would enter into a trance state. His Guide, Peter, taking control, would discourse upon the selected topic answering all questions fluently and without hesitation. Frequently, during these sittings, the air-raid sirens would be heard and the local anti- aircraft guns would be in action.
