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).

(Exhibit 15; RT 703-704) In fact, in January 1983 Para­ mount registered the title "King for a Day" with the MPM. (Exhibit 16) Bernheim and Katzenberg remained in communication and a search for a writer began.

  • 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.

  • The Political Process
    1980-81 Institute of Politics John F.Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1980-81 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '81, the third edition of this annual retrospective of the Institute of Politics. It serves the function of an annual report, but it is more than that. Part One, "Readings," is a sampling of written and spoken words drawn from the many formats of Institute activity: panel discussions and speeches in our Forum, dialogue among conference participants, an essay from a faculty study group, stu­ dent writing from the Harvard Political Review, personal evalutions from a summer intern and from our resident Fellows, and so forth. They contain impassioned rhetoric from controversial figures as well as opinion and analysis from less well- known individuals. This year we even have a poem and a little humor. Taken together, the "Readings," represent a good cross-section of what happens here. Part Two, 'Programs," is a record of all the events sponsored by the Institute dur­ ing the 1980-81 academic year. This section delineates the participation of hundreds of individuals who together make the Institute the lively, interactive place that it is. Although they are not all captured on tape or on paper, their contributions make this place come alive, and this listing is a recognition of that. Thus, the annual editions of Proceedings provide an ongoing portrait of the In­ stitute of Politics. I hope you find it both informative and enjoyable.

  • QLI0004-21 2021-22 Learning Society Membership Brochure.Indd
    2021 - 2022 Season and Annual Membership “My favorite academic experience at Queens was my opportunity to be on the student panel during our discussion with Doris Kearns Goodwin. This experience was part of a diverse liberal arts curriculum that helped me learn how to approach a problem with multiple perspectives.” – Siobahn Petracca ’21, History ince 1988, The Learning Society has brought Sleading thinkers and doers to our doorstep, broadening our worldview through face-to-face, unfiltered dialogue. Thanks to our members’ commitment and generosity, the semiannual series extends far beyond the auditorium. The guest lecturer’s impact at the podium is magnified by weeks of student engagement and immersion in the speaker’s topic, viewpoint and background. Upon arrival to Charlotte, the speaker engages first with Queens’ students in an on-campus discussion prior to the public, community event. The Learning Society is a tremendous asset to the Charlotte region at a time when community dialogue is essential. It serves as a catalyst for thought-provoking conversations and bringing together diverse audiences. It also engages students in relevant topics, further enhancing the academic experience and broadening perspectives. Such a forum is essential to sparking new ideas and finding shared solutions. I’ve been active with Queens University’s programing for several years and continue to be impressed by the quality and richness of the experience. - Jennifer DeWitt, 2021-22 Executive Committee Chair, The Learning Society of Queens EXPANDING OUR VIEW. And engaging our students. Our members make it possible to bring dynamic speakers to Queens and the Charlotte community, and broaden their impact through student-centered learning opportunities.
