  • Review Essay Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's the Vietnam
    Review Essay Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s The Vietnam War MARK PHILIP BRADLEY True confessions: I did not go into the eighteen hours of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s The Vietnam War with a totally open mind.1 Burns’s 1990 documentary series The Civil War, which made his career, had evoked a storm of controversy, with such leading his- torians as Leon Litwack and Eric Foner offering scathing critiques of how the film depicted African Americans as passive victims and entirely ignored the ways in which the postwar era of Reconstruction became an exercise in white supremacy. As Foner wrote, “Faced with a choice between historical illumination or nostalgia, Burns consis- tently opts for nostalgia.”2 Subsequent documentaries on jazz and World War II always struck me, and in fact many critics, as deliberately skirting potentially subversive counter-narratives in a kind of burnishing of the past.3 And to be quite honest, all of them seemed too long. In the case of Burns and Novick’s earlier series The War (2007) and its fifteen-hour embrace of the greatest generation narrative, Burns’s insular docu- mentary painted World War II as an entirely American affair, with non-white and non- American voices largely to the side. The much-heralded “Ken Burns effect” had never worked its magic on me. When I began to hear the tagline for The Vietnam War in the drumbeat of publicity before it was first aired on PBS last September (you will have to conjure up the melan- choly Peter Coyote voiceover as you read)—“It was begun in good faith by decent peo- ple out of fateful misunderstandings, American overconfidence, and Cold War mis- calculations”—I anticipated a painful eighteen hours.

Since the war was waged in the TV era, the filmmakers rely less exclusively on the trademark “Ken Burns effect” pans over still images. Since Vietnam was the “living-room war,” played out on the nightly news, this documentary doesn’t show us the fighting with new eyes, the way “The War” did with its unearthed archival World War II footage.

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

    Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America Children’s Reading List Children's Fiction Bagnold, Edith. National Velvet. Originally published in 1935. Buccaneer. 1981. 306 pages. National Velvet is the story of a 14‐year‐old girl named Velvet Brown, who rides her horse to victory in the Grand National Steeplechase. The classic novel focuses on the ability of ordinary persons, particularly women, to accomplish great things. Velvet and her horse become instant celebrities, with Velvet and her family nearly drowning in notoriety. Velvet strongly objects to the publicity, saying the horse is a creature of glory who shouldn't be cheapened in tabloid trash and newsreels. She insists that she did not win the race, the horse did. The book inspires the film by the same name (starring Elizabeth Taylor), a TV series and TV movie version and a lesser known sequel, International Velvet. Christopher, Matt. The Great Quarterback Switch (Matt Christopher Sports Classics). Little Brown Books. 1991. 97 pages. Can Michael and Tom read each other's minds? Michael and Tom Curtis are identical twins who share a love of football. Unfortunately, because of a tragic accident, Michael must watch from the sidelines as his brother calls the plays on the football field. During one game Michael concentrates very hard on a play he thinks could help the team, and Tom calls the exact play a split second later! Is it coincidence, or can the boys communicate through ESP? The boys try a daring experiment in which they push their telepathic powers to the limit ... and suddenly, impossibly, Michael is running the ball for a spectacular touchdown! Matt Christopher has a number of sports‐related books to his credit.

  • Ordinary Heroes: Depictions of Masculinity in World War II Film a Thesis Submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in Pa
    Ordinary Heroes: Depictions of Masculinity in World War II Film A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Robert M. Dunlap May 2007 Oxford, Ohio Abstract Much work has been done investigating the historical accuracy of World War II film, but no work has been done using these films to explore social values. From a mixed film studies and historical perspective, this essay investigates movie images of American soldiers in the European Theater of Operations to analyze changing perceptions of masculinity. An examination of ten films chronologically shows a distinct change from the post-war period to the present in the depiction of American soldiers. Masculinity undergoes a marked change from the film Battleground (1949) to Band of Brothers (2001). These changes coincide with monumental shifts in American culture. Events such as the loss of the Vietnam War dramatically changed perceptions of the Second World War and the men who fought during that time period. The United States had to deal with a loss of masculinity that came with their defeat in Vietnam and that shift is reflected in these films. The soldiers depicted become more skeptical of their leadership and become more uncertain of themselves while simultaneously appearing more emotional. Over time, realistic images became acceptable and, in fact, celebrated as truthful while no less masculine. In more recent years, there is a return to the heroism of the World War II generation, with an added emotionality and dimensionality. Films reveal not only the popular opinions of the men who fought and reflect on the validity of the war, but also show contemporary views of masculinity and warfare.

  • Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting?
    Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? For More Information Contact: Tom Rosenstiel, Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism Amy Mitchell, Associate Director Matt Carlson, Wally Dean, Dante Chinni, Atiba Pertilla, Research Nancy Anderson, Tom Avila, Staff Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested we are getting only “slices” of the war. Other observers have likened the media coverage to seeing the battlefield through “a soda straw.” The battle for Iraq is war as we’ve never it seen before. It is the first full-scale American military engagement in the age of the Internet, multiple cable channels and a mixed media culture that has stretched the definition of journalism. The most noted characteristic of the media coverage so far, however, is the new system of “embedding” some 600 journalists with American and British troops. What are Americans getting on television from this “embedded” reporting? How close to the action are the “embeds” getting? Who are they talking to? What are they talking about? To provide some framework for the discussion, the Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted a content analysis of the embedded reports on television during three of the first six days of the war. The Project is affiliated with Columbia University and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The embedded coverage, the research found, is largely anecdotal. It’s both exciting and dull, combat focused, and mostly live and unedited. Much of it lacks context but it is usually rich in detail. It has all the virtues and vices of reporting only what you can see.

  • Becca Kleinstein on Martha Stewart Yes, You Read That Correctly – I Chose Martha Stewart As the Leader I Admire
    Becca Kleinstein on Martha Stewart Yes, you read that correctly – I chose Martha Stewart as the leader I admire. I’m guessing that quizzical look on your face has something to do with the fact that she spent 5 months in federal prison, or that she is known for being a ruthless tyrant in the professional domain, or even the fact that it is very publicly known that she and her daughter don’t get along (her daughter even wrote a book about their poor relationship!). However, Martha Stewart possesses several leadership traits that I admire and she has been able to harmonize all four of her domains. Marth Kostyra was born in 1941, and was raised in New Jersey by her middle class parents with her four brothers and sisters. Her knack for crafts was obvious from her childhood as she learned crafting, gardening, sewing, cooking, and preserve-jarring from her close-knit Polish American family. Her planning was also evident in her youth. She frequently babysat for the children of Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees and organized birthday parties for the four boys. Martha won partial scholarship to Barnard College and modeled on the side to pay expenses. She initially intended to major in chemistry, but switched to art, European history, and architectural history. She married then law student Andrew Stewart after her sophomore year in college, and after taking a year off from school, earned her degree. Martha had her only child, Alexis, in 1965, and worked as model and stockbroker on Wall Street until 1973.

Beard nurtured a genera- tion of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. James Andrew Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon, to Elizabeth and John Beard. His mother, an independent English woman passionate about food, ran a boarding house. His father worked at Portland’s Customs House. The family spent summers at the beach at Gearhart, Oregon, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild berries, and cooking meals with whatever was caught. He studied briefly at Reed College in Portland in 1923, but was expelled. Reed claimed it was due to poor scholastic performance, but Beard maintained it was due to his homosexuality. Beard then went on the road with a theatrical troupe. He lived abroad for several years study- ing voice and theater but returned to the United States for good in 1927. Although he kept trying to break into the theater and movies, by 1935 he needed to supplement what was a very non-lucra- Biography tive career and began a catering business.
