  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Documenting the Director: Delbert Mann, His Life, His Work, and His Papers
    http://spider.georgetowncollege.edu/htallant/border/bs10/fr-harw.htm Border States: Journal of the Kentucky-Tennessee American Studies Association, No. 10 (1995) DOCUMENTING THE DIRECTOR: DELBERT MANN, HIS LIFE, HIS WORK, AND HIS PAPERS Sarah Harwell Vanderbilt University Library The Papers of Delbert Mann at the Special Collections Library of Vanderbilt University provide not only a rich chronicle of the award-winning television and motion picture director's life and work, but also document the history of aspects of American popular culture and motion picture art in the latter half of the twentieth century. Delbert Mann was born in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1920. He moved to Nashville, which he considers his home town, as a young boy when his father came to teach at Scarritt College. He graduated from Hume-Fogg High School and Vanderbilt University, where Dinah Shore and Mann's future wife, Ann Caroline Gillespie, were among his classmates. Also in Nashville he developed a lifelong friendship with Fred Coe through their mutual involvement in the Nashville Community Playhouse. Coe would play a very important role in Mann's life. A few months after his graduation from Vanderbilt in 1941, Mann joined the Eighth Air Force, for which he completed thirty-five missions as a pilot of a B-24 bomber. After the end of the Second World War he attended the Yale Drama School, followed by two years as director of the Town Theatre of Columbia, South Carolina. In 1949, Fred Coe, already a producer at NBC television network, invited Delbert Mann to come to New York to direct live television drama on the "Philco Television Playhouse." Then in its infancy, television offered many fine original plays to its relatively small viewing audience.

  • Atomic Age and the Rise of Mutually Assured Destruction. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 2015
    British Journal for Military History, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2018 partly explains this, but Clark finds violent threat and sectarianism were elements of Civil War chaos. A strength of this polished study is its engagement with the latest Irish and European historiography. It situates developments in Ireland in the context of broader European violent trends, arguing that the Irish Civil War remained relatively restrained compared to the mass killings of civilians in Central and Eastern Europe in the revolutionary and nationalist turmoil after the Great War. Clark also contends that Irish Civil War violence was more political and closely linked to national macro- agendas than Stathis Kalyvas’s theories on civil war violence suggest. Clark is surely right that, while sectarianism occurred, it was the contestation of land and new political nationalisms that drove the Irish case. The Free State itself by offering compensation to all those targeted by the insurgent IRA, showed considerable liberal-mindedness, even if, its impecuniousness meant that payments were regularly inadequate: many of those forced to flee Ireland were unable to ever return and rebuild. One is left with much to ponder from this fascinating study, not least how the destruction of infrastructure and purging of local urban mercantile groups may have impacted upon the struggling Free State economy in the 1920s. As the centenary of these traumatic events in Irish history approaches, Clark’s measured academic scholarship is invaluable.

  • Script – Cuban Crisis Briefing Title Slide If You Were a Missile Or
    Script – Cuban Crisis Briefing Title Slide If you were a missile or bomber crew member 50 years ago today, you would have been on continuous alert for the last two weeks. I say continuous because about half the crew force is on alert - the other half is resting and waiting to take their place. If you were in maintenance, munitions, security, comm or almost any other base specialty, you would be working continuous shift work. Every office, shop and work center has been manned for 24 hours each day for over two weeks - you are either working or resting. Nobody is on leave, on pass, TDY or doing nonessential tasks. We are at the brink on Nuclear War - we are in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Slide October 1962 first line The Cuban Crisis didn't happen overnight - several events over the months before led to it. In early 1961, the US CIA put together a poorly planned invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. The invasion failed, and most of the Cuban Exiles who took part were captured or killed. But the attempt really bothered Fidel Castro. He was convinced that the US would invade again soon, this time with the full might of the US military. Castro asked his friend in the Soviet Union, Nikita Krushchev, for help. Krushchev had his own concerns - he knew that the Soviet Union was ringed with US bomber bases in Europe, the Pacific and Canada, allowing US bombers to strike deep into the heartland of his country. And he knew his own bombers couldn't penetrate as deep, since they were all based within the Soviet Union.

  • 12 O'clock High and the Image of American Air Power, 1946-1967 Sam Edwards, Manchester Metropolitan University the Image Was P
    12 O’Clock High and the Image of American Air Power, 1946-1967 Sam Edwards, Manchester Metropolitan University The image was powerful and infamous: Slim Pickens, rodeo performer and star of numerous film and television Westerns, straddles a giant H-Bomb and, with Stetson in hand, rides it to earth and to doomsday. Here was the essence of Stanley Kubrick’s film Dr. Strangelove (1964), a dark satire on the insanity of a world that could produce a doctrine of Armageddon and, without irony, reduce it to the acronym “MAD” (Mutually Assured Destruction). While provocative, Kubrick’s film was merely the “most notorious chapter in this period’s assault on the image of air power.”1 With origins in the era of interwar isolationism, and expressed via print media as well as early cinema, this image asserted that American air power provided protection, deterred potential aggressors and, if necessary, would deliver victory when war came. In the eyes of many strategists, this image was affirmed by the events and experiences of World War II, a conflict that saw American air force commanders loudly proclaim faith in the bomber’s ability to secure victory through the precise delivery of destruction. These were the ideas celebrated in wartime propaganda and, with some subtle revisions and refinements, post-war cinema, from Air Force (1943) to A Gathering of Eagles (1963). By the early 1960s, however, as Cold War tensions increased, this image came under increasing criticism—hence Dr. Strangelove. Hence, too, Joseph Heller’s novel Catch-22 (1961), adapted as a film in 1970, and John Hersey’s The War Lover (1959), released in cinemas in 1962.
