I was swept up by the movie Blackboard Jungle (1955) and its theme song, Bill Haley’s “Rock around the Clock,” which was played every ten minutes on the radio because no other white rock-n-roll songs yet existed. At the same instant, I found my first lover in James Dean, in his jackets, his motorcycle, his face, his attitude, his verite. When he was killed at age twenty-four on September 30, 1955, I was sixteen, a junior in high school, and stricken with grief. Even though I was in the Catholic seminary and was a sexually pure boy, art and literature and movies cancelled my chances of being paro- chial.

  • A Comparative Commentary on Frank O'hara's “In Memory of My Feelings
    ORNATE AND EXPLOSIVE GRIEF A COMPARATIVE COMMENTARY ON FRANK O’HARA’S “IN MEMORY OF MY FEELINGS” AND “TO HELL WITH IT”, INCORPORATING A SUBSTANTIAL GLOSS ON THE SERPENT IN THE POETRY OF PAUL VALÉRY, AND A THEORETICAL EXCURSUS ON ORNATE POETICS. Sam Ladkin Abstract: Frank O’Hara’s “In Memory of My Feelings” and “To Hell with It” are read consecutively to make a comparative point about the lessons of the first poem being taken up in the challenges of the second. Essays on the influence of Paul Goodman’s theory of grief and anger and Byron’s ecstatic elegy provide a theoretical groundwork for a close, comparative reading of the serpent in the poetry of Paul Valéry and O’Hara. An excursus on the ornate and ornamental offers a broader theoretical account for my readings. A commentary on “To Hell with It” is divided into close readings and digressions on the work of Mayakovsky, Shelley, Rimbaud, and the Tutivillus. 189 GLOSSATOR 8 190 LADKIN – ORNATE AND EXPLOSIVE GRIEF CONTENTS 1.

  • The Newhall Incident – a 50Th Anniversary Retrospect It Has Been Referred to As the Tragedy That Changed Law Enforcement Forever
    [PHOTO-primary: Newhall-Memorial_2019-04 IMG_1224_zox.jpg / 1313 px x 750 px] The Newhall Incident – A 50th Anniversary Retrospect It has been referred to as the tragedy that changed law enforcement forever. During the last few minutes of April 5, 1970, four young California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers were killed by two gunmen during an enforcement stop. The tragedy sent shock waves throughout communities across the nation, and it shattered the lives of four young families. The killings prompted law enforcement agencies far and wide to reevaluate their tactics and equipment. Many important changes would come in the weeks, months, and years following this intolerable act of violence. It inspired a reawakening of law enforcement tactics and has encouraged a mindset that has become the legacy of CHP Officers Walter “Walt” C. Frago (6573), 23 years old; Roger D. Gore (6600), 23 years old; James “Skip” E. Pence, Jr. (6885), 24 years old; and George M. Alleyn (6290), 24 years old. The Incident At 11:54 p.m. on April 5, 1970, Officers Roger Gore and Walter Frago initiated a traffic stop on a suspect reported to have brandished a weapon at another motorist. The report was of a single driver, but once the officers spotted the vehicle and pulled it over, they could see it was occupied by two men. The suspect’s car exited southbound I-5 and stopped just inside the entrance to the parking lot of the Standard Oil gas station next to J’s Coffee Shop on the old Highway 99 (The Old Road) in the town of Newhall.
