P. 46 Partial Fixtures List time under its new name this spring in Eugene. Although I myself have been writing about track and field for some 50 years, I never met Abramson, who spent his entire 44-year newspaper career at the New York Herald- Tribune, until its closing in 1966. A graduate of Stuyves- ant High School in Manhat- tan, Abramson covered 11 Olympic Games, from 1928 to 1976, and helped found the New York Track Writers As- sociation. He died of cancer in 1979 at age 75. Dunaway, a longtime member of both the New York Track Writers and TAFWA, reported on 14 Olympics himself, from 1956 to 2008, meaning that, fittingly, he and Abramson were colleagues for six of those. I’m sure they shared many an IC4A, Millrose Games, Heps and Penn Relays as well dur- ing Jim’s long career on the East Coast. Thus, the baton is passed. We share many more sentiments from members about Jim in this issue starting on page five. Awards, Dues, Annual One month remains to nominate yourself or a colleague for this year’s remaining TAFWA Awards. Details follow on page four of this month’s newsletter.

TAFWA Newsletter - Page 4 - April 2015 “At Texas Relays, Jim Dunaway Is Not Forgotten.” Cedric Golden. | Austin American-Statesman, March 29, 2015. <<The venture was Home- town Features, an idea concocted by a young adver- tising executive in Chicago back in 1956. The concocter was Jim Du- naway, a kid who wanted to go places. The 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, for starters. One idea hatched in Chicago nearly 60 years ago turned into a lifelong odyssey that transformed an idea man into one of the most well- respected track and field writers in the sport’s his- tory.>> <<Our friend died peacefully two weeks ago at age 87. I counted track and field’s most lovable press box curmud- geon as a pal and role model of sorts because of the respect he commanded whenever he walked into a stadium, from a high school meet all the way up to the Summer Olympics, which credentialed him 14 consecutive times. The National Track and Field Hall of Famer was remembered by friends and family, including his beloved son David, who gathered for a memorial service at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center on Saturday to swap stories about his two-year stint in the Navy, his days as a student at Penn State, his career at General Electronics and in advertising, and mostly his travels to every track of note on the planet. “He has every edition of Track and Field News dating back to the 1950s,” said his niece Laura Gooch. “I went through about 100 boxes at his house. There were papers, magazines and lots of thank-you notes from writers he had mentored through the years.” Hometown Features was born out of his dream to cover the 1960 Rome Olympics, but the smoldering Cold War sped up the process, making Melbourne the first stop in ’56. Since international air travel hadn’t come along yet, he would make the trip on Texaco oil tankers from the West Coast through Sumatra then to Australia. The ride was secured though his dad, Enoch, a longtime executive with the company who played baseball for Billy Disch at Texas. After a childhood spent reading track stories in newspapers and magazines in New York, 29-year-old Jim Dunaway believed he could make money by writing stories about U.S. athletes competing in the Olympics and selling them to their hometown papers, hence the Hometown Features moniker. The plan was to send 35 letters to those publications to gauge their interest. His cousin Carolyn Bingham worked at the University of Chicago Press at the time and had a co-worker who was an excellent typist. The friend took on the project for 50 cents a page. “I didn’t realize then that I was taking part in a con job,” said Carolyn, 83. “Jim didn’t have any sports writ- ing experience, but he was my big cousin and my only source of worldly wisdom, so I went along with it.” The cover letter concluded with “James Dunaway, the greatest writer of all times.” Dunaway erupted in anger TAFWA Newsletter - Page 5 - April 2015 after reading the letter. “It should have read, ‘the greatest writer of all time!’ ” he yelled. Carolyn convinced him it wasn’t worth 35 retypes to get rid of a single “s.” Five papers responded, and while he came nowhere near turning a profit, he had a foot in the door.

  • 2020 MCDC Sponsorship
    RUN MCDC RUN MCDC MUSIC CITY DISTANCE CARNIVAL: EVENT PROFILE The Music City Distance Carnival - or MCDC as it has come to be known - has, for the last 17 years, proved to be the South’s premiere track meet. In its relatively short history, it has yielded more Tennessee All-Comers re- cords, state high school records, and Olympic Trials and National Championships qualifying performances than any other track meet in the state, and has produced more sub-4 minute miles than any other track meet in the entire southern United States. The meet can boast the second fastest outdoor mile ever recorded in Tennessee, at 3:55.65, and it has produced a total of 29 sub-4 minute miles. It also gave Nashville its first ever sub-4 in 2005, courtesy of 2-time Olympian, Anthony Famiglietti, and has yielded two Masters World records, including the amazing 3:58.79 clocking by 40-year-old Anthony Whiteman in 2012. Last year’s meet saw 10-time U.S. champion Emma Coburn provide a thrilling climax to the meet with a down to the wire win in the women’s 1500m. IMPACT OF COVID-19 The Covid-19 Pandemic has turned the sporting world upside down, and the sport of Track & Field is no excep- tion. With the Olympic Games and the U.S. Olympic Trials postponed until 2021, and with no U.S. Champion- ships replacement on the horizon, the sport’s biggest stage this year is likely to be right here in Nashville. Last year, MCDC had over 600 runners of all ages and abilities participating, and the meet drew a crowd of around 2500 at Vanderbilt University.

  • American = White ? 54
    1 Running Head: AMERICAN = WHITE? American = White? Thierry Devos Mahzarin R. Banaji San Diego State University Harvard University American = White? 2 Abstract In six studies, the extent to which American ethnic groups (African, Asian, and White) are associated with the national category “American” was investigated. Although strong explicit commitments to egalitarian principles were expressed (Study 1), each of five subsequent studies consistently revealed that both African and Asian Americans as groups are less associated with the national category “American” than are White Americans (Studies 2-6). Under some circumstances, a complete dissociation between mean levels of explicit beliefs and implicit responses emerged such that an ethnic minority was explicitly regarded to be more American than were White Americans (e.g., African Americans representing the U.S. in Olympic sports), but implicit measures showed the reverse pattern (Studies 3 and 4). In addition, Asian American participants themselves showed the American = White effect, although African Americans did not (Study 5). Importantly, the American = White association predicted the strength of national identity in White Americans: the greater the exclusion of Asian Americans from the category “American,” the greater the identification with being American (Study 6). Together, these studies provide evidence that to be American is implicitly synonymous with being White. American = White? 3 American = White? In 1937, the Trustees of the Carnegie Corporation of New York invited the Swedish sociologist Gunnar Myrdal to study the “Negro problem” in America. The main message from Myrdal’s now classic study was captured in the title of his book, An American Dilemma (1944). Contrary to expectations that White Americans would express prejudice without compunction, Myrdal found that even sixty years ago in the deep South, White citizens clearly experienced a moral dilemma, “an ever-raging conflict” between strong beliefs in equality and liberty for all and the reality of their actions and their history.
