By Pierce O'Donnell and Dennis McDougal with an Introduc- tion by Art Buchwald. Doubleday 1992. 576 pages (including ap- pendixes and index). $25.00. This epic tome, written by Kaye, Scholer partner Pierce O'Donnell and Los Angeles Times entertainment reporter Dennis McDougal, is a complex and itemized account of how Pulitzer- prizewinning columnist Art Buchwald took on a major motion pic- ture studio and won. Fatal Subtraction is a forthright and uncommonly damning study of Hollywood and its hidden profits amidst a labyrinth of lucre, desire, and domination. Self-anointed super-lawyer O'Donnell deposes the likes of actor Eddie Murphy, director John Landis, talk-show host Arsenio Hall, and a series of other studio executives including Disney's whiz kid Jeffrey Katzenberg (who gets a spell of good old-fashioned Ronald Reagan forgetfulness).

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" fo r pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections w ith a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

MASS MEDIA AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN POLITICS I. INTRODUCTION The importance of the mass media1 in today's society cannot be over- estimated. Especially in the arena of policy-making, the media's influ- ence has helped shape the development of American government. To more fully understand the political decision-making process in this coun- try it is necessary to understand the media's role in the performance of political officials and institutions. The significance of the media's influ- ence was expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "The Press has become the greatest power within Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: '2 By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?" The importance of the media's power and influence can only be fully appreciated through a complete understanding of who or what the media are.
