I had spent an entire day in Atlantic County Superior Court representing the wrongfully accused and I was rushing back to my office to wrap things up so that I could meet my wife and The Honorable Mr. and Mrs. Damon Tyner at The Knife and Fork around 6pm. The plan was to eat at the bar and make it to Boardwalk Hall by 8, so that we would have more than enough time to get situated before Beyoncé was scheduled to take the stage at 9. As I was walking up North Carolina Avenue towards Atlantic, en route to the Leonard Law Group / Boardwalk Journal compound, I literally bumped into one of The New Kids on The Block. BEST LEGAL SERVICES Joey McIntyre a/k/a J-Mac to be exact. - SILVER - The 40 year-old New Kid was in town for a performance later that night at Taj Mahal featuring 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men and was out riding his bike and decided to stop for a quick bite to eat at Gino’s, where he ordered a slice of pizza and paged through the July edition of The Boardwalk Journal. After exchanging a quick hello, I found myself engulfed in a street side conversation for the next 30 minutes discussing a wide range of topics, among them: the longevity of NKOTB, the size of the seagulls on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger, the origin of The Boardwalk Journal, the Mike Tyson one man Broadway show, Boardwalk Empire, Jersey Shore, groupies (from back in the day of course, we are now both happily married men with children), the second coming of Andrew “Dice” Clay, what a little shit head Justin Beiber is turning into (my opinion, not his), the evolution of Mark Wahlberg from rapper Marky Mark to Hollywood mogul, Frank Sinatra, The 500 Club and even Philip Leonetti’s book Mafia Prince, which I suggested he pass on to the aforementioned Mark Wahlberg. Needless to say we hit it off. My new friend was nice enough to invite myself and my wife to his concert and even invited us to come backstage and meet the JAMES J. LEONARD JR., ESQ. rest of the New Kid’s, who are all in the 40’s and are no longer “new” or “kids”. As we stood there exchanging information, not only had I lost track of time, I temporarily forgot all about my wife, the Tyners, The Knife and Fork and even Beyoncé. While we didn’t make it to the New Kid’s concert, and I was a few minutes late to The Knife and Fork, we did make it on time to see Beyoncé and she was amazing. Interestingly enough on our way home, my wife and I saw her back up dancers skateboarding through the parking lot of the Farley Plaza as one of their tour busses gassed up.

PURPOSE& PROGRAM ADL: Yesterday and Today The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith is one of the nation's oldest and leading human rela­ tions agencies. It is dedicated in purpose and program to translating this country's heritage of democratic ideals into a way of life for all Americans in our time. AD L was founded in 1913 with a handful of stationery, two desks in a Chicago law office, and a group of determined volunteers who set as its goal "to end the defamation of the Jewish people ... to secure justice and fair treatment for all citizens alike." Overt and unabashed anti-Semitism was the order of the day: resort advertising that read, "No do~! No Jews!"; offensive caricatures of Jews in magazine cartoons; crude and cruel stereotypes on stage and screen; best-seller circulation of such anti­ Semitic documents as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"; the trial by prejudice of Leo Frank, a "Yankee Jew" accused of rape and murder in Atlanta, Ga., a few years after the Bellus "ritual murder" case in Russia.

  • Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition
    Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.

  • Bess Myerson Grant Chairman of Centennial Fund
    Bess Myerson Grant Chairman of Centennial Fund We are delighted to announce that Bess Myerson Grant has accepted the general chairmanship of our new Centennial Fund and th at President Meng will be honorary chairman. To plan for our Alumni gift for the College Centen­ nial in 1970, our Board of Directors voted almost a year ago to set up a steering committee to consider steps to be taken. Now the officers and directors of our Board and of our Scholarship and Welfare Board have drawn preliminary plans for the first annual joint appeal, this coming autumn, for the Centennial Fund. Our goal is to raise a new fund of $1,000,000 by 1970, as a Centennial gift for the College. President Meng's letter indicates how such a fund would have "a real and direct bearing upon the maintenance of educational ex­ cellence at Alma Mater." But aid to students must continue, as the Pres ident says. The second goal is therefore to double our pres­ ent Scholarship and Welfare Funds which are used to < help undergraduates, and to expand the new program of j Alumni scholarships for qualified high school seniors, ) who may not be able to look forward to coming to ) Hunter, without assurance of some schol arship aid. BESS MYERSON GRANT Our third goal is to set up a new fund to aid graduate students (who must pay tuition fees) , particularly those students who are required to take a full fifth year of study Bess Myerson Grant was graduated from Hunter in before bein g appointed in their fields.

The limitations of this for contemporary analysis is then highlighted. After reading the chapter, the reader will be able to describe historical patterns of racial categorizations, and to appreciate the need for an updated social construc- tionist approach to studying the dynamics of race in contemporary society. The theory and concepts covered in the chapter include: Afro-centrism; Black power; black deviance; colonialism; critical criminology; essentialism; ethnocentrism; eurocentrism; scientific racism; and social constructionism. The case study in the chapter concerns the online racism following Nina Davuluri’s crowning as Miss America 2014. The key question raised in the chapter is: What are the key mark- ers of race in contemporary society, and how do they differ from the markers of previous generations? 02_Patel_Ch_02.indd 13 6/28/2016 2:31:11 PM 14 RACE AND SOCIETY KEY TERMS • Afro-centrism • Black deviance • Black power • Colonialism • Critical criminology • Discrimination • Eco-racism • Essentialism • Ethnocentrism • Eurocentrism • Prejudice • Racialization • Racism • Scientific racism • Social constructionism • Whiteness WHAT IS RACE?

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.
