  • Nurses of the Vietnam War Marginalized Protagonists and Narrative Authority by Brie Winnega a Thesis Presented for the B. A. D
    Nurses of the Vietnam War Marginalized Protagonists and Narrative Authority by Brie Winnega A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2017 © 2017 Brie Winnega Acknowledgements Three faculty members in particular deserve recognition for their sustained support over the duration of this project. First I must acknowledge my adviser Julian Levinson, who encouraged my interest in Vietnam nurse memoirs upon first meeting me and whose enthusiasm from the very beginning made all the difference. His feedback was instrumental to the evolution and final shape of my argument, and I am grateful for our conversations which opened my mind to new possibilities and ways of reading. Professor Adela Pinch provided similar feedback, especially during the research phase of my project. Her guidance helped me develop my skills researching larger-scale projects. Furthermore, Adela’s flexibility and enthusiastic leadership made our fall cohort a comfortable and productive space. She has been a consistent source of encouragement and advice, offering support to all her students that often seemed to exceed the call of duty. In addition, Professor Gillian White was often my source for the practical, detail-oriented feedback necessary for this type of project. I am especially grateful for her unparalleled strategizing during critical junctures of the thesis process. Finally, my utmost gratitude goes to the Vietnam nurses for allowing me to read and learn from their stories. Thank you for enriching our understanding of the war with reports of your experiences, especially when the world failed to acknowledge you. Abstract Because they are not soldiers, politicians, and usually not males, Army nurses have not figured prominently in major Vietnam discourses.

  • Stephen J. Cannell, 1941-2010
    STEPHEN J. CANNELL, 1941-2010 Stephen J(oseph) Cannell was born February 5, 1941 to Joseph Cannell, a Pasadena, California entrepreneur. Cannell struggled through his early school years, flunking three different grades of elementary, junior or senior high school, and regularly failing his English classes. Years later, when having one of his own children tested for dyslexia, he discovered that he had suffered from it his entire life. Never the less, he had a passionate love for writing, despite his difficulties with the written word, and set a goal for himself to become a best-selling author. After attending the University of Oregon on a football scholarship and meeting creative writing teachers that bolstered his confidence, Cannell married his high school sweetheart and went to work for his family’s business – driving a furniture truck all day. In the evenings, he set a rigorous writing schedule for himself – writing 5 hours a day, 7 days a week, on spec. He decided that his target market would be the burgeoning television scene, and after 6 years without a sale, he finally sold a script – to the series Ironside. After a few more sales, he caught the eye of the legendary writer/producer Jack Webb, who first hired him to be story editor and ultimately head writer for Adam-12. Cannell was contracted to Universal Television, writing and producing shows for that studio during the early-to-mid 1970s. While there, he produced Chase and wrote for and produced Toma, about real-life New York City detective David Toma. While producing Toma, Cannell and his mentor Roy Huggins (creator of Maverick, and many other tv series) wrote an episode that ended up getting rewritten to serve as a pilot for a series about an unorthodox Southern California P.I.

    ‘ROCK THE HOUSE’ CAST BIOS JACK COLEMAN (Max) – Jack Coleman stars in NBC’s Emmy-nominated ensemble drama series “Heroes” as the mysterious Noah Bennett. Seemingly an unassuming family man as father to Claire, played by Hayden Panettiere, Bennett is also a man of mystery who has an interest in people with special abilities. Coleman has performed on Broadway, off-Broadway, in film and on television. Series roles include “Dynasty,” “Nightmare Café,” “Oh Baby” and “Steven King’s Kingdom Hospital.” Recently, he has been featured on such programs as “Entourage,” “Nip/Tuck,” “Without a Trace” and “CSI Miami.” On stage, Coleman starred on Broadway in Bill Cain’s Stand-Up Tragedy in a part he originated at the Mark Taper Forum. He was nominated for a Los Angeles Drama Critics’ Circle Award for his performance. He reprised the role in San Francisco at the Marines Memorial Theater and in Connecticut at The Hartford Stage Company before opening in New York. Coleman won a Los Angeles Drama Critics’ Circle Award for his performance in John Godber’s Bouncers at the Tiffany Theater and also starred off-Broadway in Simon Gray’s The Common Pursuit. Coleman has also appeared in regional theaters across the country, playing Danny Zuko in Grease from Long Island, New York to Odessa, Texas (where his character in “Heroes” resides), and performing Othello and Loves’ Labours Lost at the Globe of the Great Southwest. Coleman wrote, produced and starred in a short film entitled “Studio City,” an audience favorite at such film festivals as the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival and the New Orleans Media Experience.

Specifically, the study looked at Medic, Marcus Welby, Ben Casey, Emergency, Dr. Kildare (all pre-ADA), and ER, Grey’s Anatomy, China Beach, Chicago Hope, Mercy, and Becker (all post-ADA) to determine whether the ADA served as a turning point in the representation of people with disabilities on medical dramas from 1954 to 2014. A content analysis was conducted to investigate the occurrence of potentially stereotypical communication patterns and behaviors among characters with disabilities and those who interact with them as well as the prevalence of common disability stereotypes throughout the years studied.
