The subcommittee met, pursuantto noti-, at 9 a.m., in room 2322, Rayburn House Office Building,H .Timothy E. Wirth (chairman) presiding. Mr..WIRTH. If the subcommitteecould pie:. :e come to order, this morning we hold hearings on the veryimpo nt issue of the social and behavioral effects of violence ontelevisio This subcommittee has had fielongstandi g concern with the causal relationship betweentelSAtised -vkolencand the manifesta- , tion of aggressive and violentbehavior among members of the tele- vision viewing public, particularly/.children. When this subcommittee lastexamined,this issue in 1777, culmi- nating in a subcomntittee report, -which wasxtremely controTer- sial,at that time, I was concerned With+the rolof the networks on providing excessively violent programingand t e harmful effects of such programing on society. As the father of two ,youngchildren, I contin e to be particularly concerned with the 'amount oftelevised viol' nce to which the Nation's young are exposed and thedetrimen1 effects it clearly can have on theirbehavioral devblopment. The subcommittee's focus over thelast sever 1 months has been primarily on issiles relating to economicconip tition and regula- tion. These are vitally importantissues to a dress as we look toward encouraging the developmentof a telecommunications in- dustry which will provide the viewerof tomorrow with a high degree of choice and diversity so thatthere can he numerous,alter- natives available, unlike thecase with the viewer of today whO objection- may find his limitedviewing options: often distasteful or able. - . In. Odlition to questions of economicconteition though, we cannot ldse sight of the vastsocial impact television has on society, and thus it is importantthat'we return to an examination ofthis critical issue of the effects of violence ontelevision. _ It must be \ kept in mind,however, that while Congress clearly has 4 duty to explore the problemof the excessive viewing of tele- visa( violence, in dealing with the areaof program content there (11 2 are significant constraints imposed by the fitst amendment to the Constitution as to any governmental action in thisarea. I want to commend my colleague, Congressmac RonMottl, who has been instrumental in arranging these hearings andseeing to it that this subcommittee continues to providea forum for dialog among interested parties so that viable solutions to the problems connected with the effects of televised violencemay be found. Congressman Mottl has demonstrateda profound concern for the problem of violence throughout American society. Iwant to thank him for his willingness to agree to chair these hearings thismorn- ing, and I also want to thank today's witnessesfor Staking time from their busy schedules to be withus. Mr. Norm Thank you very much, Mr. ChairmatLet me say' that this hearing certainly could not be possible' withoutyour con- cern and interest

    La Lunga Notte Di Entebbe 1 / 4 È difficile contestare alcune o la maggior parte delle ovvie critiche di questo film, che è stato reso frettoloso (per una ragione, entrambi i film del 1976 sull'argomento erano) che ha set a 2 bit, come sarebbe, un altro trovare ciò che gli dà una sensazione strana è la mancanza di spartito / colonna sonora, ha un aspetto teatrale .... quello che trovo sconcertante è che si trova ad essere di gran lunga inferiore al suo rivale in alcun modo, che ha la maggior parte dei Gli stessi difetti - e molto altro ancora ... "Raid ha il carisma e la presenza di un uomo d'azione Charles Bronson, dai, TU hai il defunto Chuckster incaricato di salvarti dagli arabi, dai tedeschi e dai folli dittatori ugandesi se sei mai stato in quella posizione, sai che lo vuoi- (se il vero governo israeliano avesse avuto Bronson, avrebbero potuto rinunciare alla brigata Golana e ai paras, C130 e jeep delle armi senza scrupoli e appena spedito a Chuck con il suo fucile a pompa e il camion del melone per combattere a casa i terroristi dall'esistenza) Ma questo film, nonostante il suo aspetto televisivo, è molto meglio, più eccitante, più coinvolgente, più colorato script di & quot; Raid..Richard Dreyfuss è piuttosto carismatico ebreo e in qualche modo un sostituto per Bronson e Woods.Penso che la critica dell'attore che interpreta Amin sia piuttosto ingiusta, che le sue buffonate fossero sopra le righe, ovviamente il vero Amin non era assolutamente esagerato, vero? Potrebbe essere suonato con un suono poco preciso, preciso e acuto da Julius, ma lo chiamerei comunque un lavoro professionale, ricordate che nel 1976 il mondo esterno non aveva visto tanto del vero Amin come in seguito.

These new lugs hook onto bolts that at the shell’s nodal are attached to the shell, which allows the lug point. casings themselves to "float" eliminating any direct contact between the lug and the shell. As this design reduces the amount of hardware actually attached to the drum shell, the shell is allowed to vibrate freely. On an 11-inch shell the lug bolts, as well as the YESS mounting system, are all attached to the shell at its nodal point to greatly minimize influence on shell resonance to deliver maximum tone. Another benefit these lugs provide is when it comes time to change the head, it is no longer necessary to remove the tuning bolts from the lugs to remove the hoop. Just loosen the bolts enough to slide the lugs off of the bolts and the hoop comes right off. No more lost washers, etc. and head changes can be done quicker and easier than before. * Nodal point mounting is patented by the Nobel & Cooley Drum Company. Nylon Ring * Beside the Absolute Nouveau Lugs, the Absolute lugs that were offered on O Ring earlier models are also available.
