Jortner 2005 iii PLAYING “AMERICA” ON NINETEENTH-CENTURY STAGES; OR, JONATHAN IN ENGLAND AND JONATHAN AT HOME Maura L. Jortner, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2005 This dissertation, prepared towards the completion of a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, examines “Yankee Theatre” in America and London through a post-colonial lens from 1787 to 1855. Actors under consideration include: Charles Mathews, James Hackett, George Hill, Danforth Marble and Joshua Silsbee. These actors were selected due to their status as iconic performers in “Yankee Theatre.” The Post-Revolutionary period in America was filled with questions of national identity. Much of American culture came directly from England. American citizens read English books, studied English texts in school, and watched English theatre. They were inundated with English culture and unsure of what their own civilization might look like.

  • Organised Crime Around the World
    European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control, affiliated with the United Nations (HEUNI) P.O.Box 161, FIN-00131 Helsinki Finland Publication Series No. 31 ORGANISED CRIME AROUND THE WORLD Sabrina Adamoli Andrea Di Nicola Ernesto U. Savona and Paola Zoffi Helsinki 1998 Copiescanbepurchasedfrom: AcademicBookstore CriminalJusticePress P.O.Box128 P.O.Box249 FIN-00101 Helsinki Monsey,NewYork10952 Finland USA ISBN951-53-1746-0 ISSN 1237-4741 Pagelayout:DTPageOy,Helsinki,Finland PrintedbyTammer-PainoOy,Tampere,Finland,1998 Foreword The spread of organized crime around the world has stimulated considerable national and international action. Much of this action has emerged only over the last few years. The tools to be used in responding to the challenges posed by organized crime are still being tested. One of the difficulties in designing effective countermeasures has been a lack of information on what organized crime actually is, and on what measures have proven effective elsewhere. Furthermore, international dis- cussion is often hampered by the murkiness of the definition of organized crime; while some may be speaking about drug trafficking, others are talking about trafficking in migrants, and still others about racketeering or corrup- tion. This report describes recent trends in organized crime and in national and international countermeasures around the world. In doing so, it provides the necessary basis for a rational discussion of the many manifestations of organized crime, and of what action should be undertaken. The report is based on numerous studies, official reports and news reports. Given the broad topic and the rapidly changing nature of organized crime, the report does not seek to be exhaustive.

    FINAL DRAFT WATERFRONT COMMISSION OF NEW YORK HARBOR ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 FINAL DRAFT To the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor To the Honorable Phil Murphy, Governor and the Legislature of the State of New York and the Legislature of the State of New Jersey MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “The outstanding investigative work by this Office’s prosecutors and our law enforcement partners uncovered a litany of crimes allegedly committed by members and associates of the Gambino organized crime family, who still don’t get it – handcuffs and a jail cell are waiting for criminals who threaten violence and commit fraud, money laundering and bribery in furtherance of their enterprise.” - United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Richard P. Donoghue, December 5, 2019 I am pleased to present to you the 2019-2020 Annual Report of the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor. To say that this was a tumultuous year is an understatement. We are still reeling from the ongoing onslaught of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which has ravaged our nation and the world, and changed life as we know it. We mourn the tragic loss of lives, and remember with sadness the passing of our friend and colleague, Linda Smith, who was a dedicated member of this agency for over 23 years. This year, we also witnessed one of the largest movements in this country’s history, with millions of people participating in mass demonstrations to protest systemic racism. While diversity and inclusion has long been an integral part of the Commission’s culture, we reaffirm our commitment to fairness and equality for all, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religion.

  • No Foreign Dissem S-E-C-R-E-T No Foreign Dissem Japan
    S-E-C-R-E-T NO FOREIGN DISSEM JAPAN Yoshio KODAMA Rightist Leader Yoshio Kodama, notorious since the 1920s for his connections with right-wing and underworld groups, is widely reported to have high-level con- nections within the Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP) and has been described by many sources as a power- ful figure in behind-the-scenes political maneu- vering and one of the real "strong men" of present- day Japan. He has been reported for some years to be closely associated with Ichiro Kono, a leading contender for the LDP presidency and resultant prim ministership, and with BaMboku Ono, LDP Vice Presi- ( I 9510 dent, both of whom are themselves in possession of somewhat unsavory reputations. In February 1963 Kodama figured in rumors of scandals in the negotiations to normalize relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK). These rumors concerned the acceptance of large sums of money and participation in irregular business transactions on the part of LDP leaders, particularly Ono, in return for their efforts to promote successful conclusion of the talks. The nature of Kodamas involvement in the Japan-ROK negotiations has not been detailed, but according to several sources, he is close to former ROK intelligence chief Kim Chong- pil and has been an important channel from Kim to the LDP and the Jap- anese government. A Japanese newspaper correspondent has alleged that Kodama was responsible for arranging Onos December 1962 trip to Korea and had persuaded Ono and Kono to go along with the Japan-ROK agreement. Kodama was born on 18 February 1911 in FUkushima prefecture to a family considered of the samurai rank.
