If by popular music you mean domestic palliatives from “Home Sweet to Celine Dion, OK, that’s another realm. But most of what’s now played in concert halls and honored at the Kennedy Center has its roots in antisocial impulses—in a carpe diem hedonism that is a way of life for violent men with money to burn who know damn well they’re destined for prison or the morgue.

  • Facing the Sea: the Jews of Salonika in the Ottoman Era (1430–1912)

Origins, Settlement and Heyday, 1430–1595 Jews resided in Salonika many centuries before the Turkic tribes first made their appearance on the borders of Western civilization, at the Islamic world’s frontier. In fact, Salonika was one of the cities in whose synagogue the apostle Paul had preached Jesus’ teachings. Like many other Jewish communities is this part of the Roman (and later the Byzantine) Empire, this had been a Greek-speaking community leading its life in much the same way as the Greek pagans, and later, the Christian city dwellers around them. The Ottoman conquest of Salonika in 1430 did little to change their lifestyle. A major upheaval did take place, however, with the Ottoman takeover of Constantinople in 1453. The Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II, the Conqueror (Fatih in Turkish), aimed to turn the former Byzantine capital into the hub of his Empire, a world power in its own right on a par with such earlier grand empires as the Roman and the Persian. To that effect, he ordered the transfer of entire populations— Muslims, Greeks, and Jews—from other parts of his empire to the new capital in order to rebuild and repopulate it.

D. •Nmh f orft THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1917 Ail rights reserved COPYRIGHT, 1917 BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Set up and electrotyped. Published May, 1917. TO MAX SENIOR PREFACE > This book is an attempt to meet the demand on the? part of those who are engaged or are interested in Jewish social service, for a statement of the principles evolved through the experience of the last two decades in various philanthropic efforts of the Jews of this country. It is primarily a compilation of the different ideas expressed by the leaders of the movements on various occasions, as well as a presentation of the actual practical experiences that were met in the dif- ferent lines of philanthropic activity. It is intended to serve as a text-book for beginners, and as a ready résumé for those who are already engaged in the field. No claim for scientific treatment of the subjects is made, but it is hoped that as a first attempt in this direction it may serve as an impetus toward clarifying the indefinite views in vogue at present among Jewish social workers of the country and help beginners to orient themselves in the perplexing problems of Jewish social service. The book is practically a revision of a course of lec- tures on Jewish philanthropy given for the last 6 years at the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati, Ohio.The leading Jewish social workers of the country should be given credit for their co-operation in reading the manu- script and making emendations and corrections with- vii viii PREFACE out which this book would lose considerable part of its value.

    1967-1970 First appearance in trade magazines: April 7, 1973 Label af1 Stereo SKBO-3404 Apple label with blue background and “MFD. BY APPLE” on the full side. Factories: Los Angeles; Jacksonville; Winchester The Scranton plant was about to be shut down in August and sold to North American Music Industries later in the year, but they made some metal parts for this album. The copies that I have appear to have parts from Scranton that were used by the Jacksonville plant. Some of the labels appear more lavender than blue. Cover: The cover has a cardboard cover with paper slicks pasted onto it. The inner cover is glued on top of the (wrapped-around) outer cover. The front cover sports a photograph from the Angus McBean session that produced the cover design to the (unreleased) Get Back/Let it Be album, but it is a different photograph than the one that had been chosen for the cover. Likewise, the back cover sports a photograph from the Angus McBean session that produced the cover to their first British LP, but it is a different photograph than the one that was used for the album. The inner cover slick was one of many photographs taken on the band’s “mad day out” photo session on July 28, 1968. The Beatles, Tony Bramwell, Mal Evans and his son (Gary), Yoko Ono, Francie Schwartz, and three others with cameras traveled around to seven locations in London and took pictures. This shot was taken at the fifth location, St. Pancras Old Church and Gardens.

Mr. Kapp: I am aware of the fact that sometime in the very early 60's you leftHogan & Hartson and entered the Kennedy Administration. I wonder if you can tell us how it happened that you joined the Kennedy Administration? Mr. Prettyman: I'd be happy to do that, although I probably ought to mention two cases that I had just beforeI went in, if that's okay with you. Mr. Kapp: Yes, go ahead. Mr. Prettyman: Simply because they were each impmtant to me for differentreasons. In 1962 I was appointed by the District Cowt to represent a gentleman namedWilliam Fulwood, who was a Black Muslim at the Dist:Iictof Columbia Jail, and this was now in the very early stages of the Muslim movement among African-Americans. He had recently become a Muslim, and he was attemptingto have possession of the Koran and to wear Muslim medals and so forth, and the prison authorities denied him that 1ight. We had extensive hearings before Judge Burnita Matthews, who was a femalejudge from Mississippi, and she held, I believe forthe first time in this country, that indeed Muslims have the right to practice their religion, to carry their medals, to have the Koran and so forth, in -133- prison, and she entered an order to the prison authorities to that effect.
