MAYHEW Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: May 26, 1995 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: I wonder if you could tell me a little bit about your background: when, where you were born and something about your family. MAYHEW: I was born in the Presidio, which is a military base in San Francisco. I lived there for the first few years of my life. Then, at a rather young age, went to the Philippines for 3 or 4 years. I think we came back about 1940. Then I grew up in Spokane, Washington and various other locations with military bases, ending in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, from which I went to college at Princeton. After Princeton I was a trainee in a Wall Street bank for a year, then in the military service, and then went to work after that for the Washington Post. Q: I'd like to go back for a minute. Was your father in the regular army? MAYHEW: Yes. Q: What was his specialty? Interview with Philip R. Mayhew http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib000774 Library of Congress MAYHEW: He was an ordnance man. He was Canadian, actually, and left home after high school, not wanting to stay on the farm in Quebec. Eventually he ended up in the western United States, then joined the American army. Q: Were you tempted to join the army at all, as a career? MAYHEW: No, not really. I never had a great interest in that.

Here are some fun ways to make your child’s next birthday party one to remember! rules of thumb for any age • Parties are cheaper at home, but it’s less stress and less mess at another venue. • Tailor the party to your child’s personality: some kids need a quiet party, others a crowded party. • Birthday cake and candles are a must. It’s more important what the cake looks like than what it tastes like. • Avoid serving peanuts or tree nuts. The parents will tell you if your guests have any other allergies, but they won’t expect you to provide alternative snacks. • Kids, especially boys, need to run.

  • 1 Exit Stage Left: Senator James M. Jeffords and The
    EXIT STAGE LEFT: SENATOR JAMES M. JEFFORDS AND THE RHETORIC OF CONGRESSIONAL PARTY SWITCHERS by JUSTIN LEE KILLIAN (Under the Direction of John M. Murphy, PhD) ABSTRACT This project looks at the discourse surrounding Senator James M. Jeffords’ decision to leave the Republican Party. Although Jeffords was not an extremely powerful member of the US Senate, his interference with President George W. Bush’s legislative agenda was a landmark move in American politics. The thesis proceeds in three parts. Chapter One introduces the subject matter, provides a literature review from both political science and communication studies, and offers the critical perspective for the entire project. Chapter Two focuses on elements of American paideia and offers a critical analysis of Jeffords’ “Declaration of Independence,” and “First Anniversary,” speeches. Chapter Three shows how Jeffords engages in agonistic rhetorical practices through a critical look at his “Second Anniversary Speech.” Finally, Chapter Four provides some concluding thoughts on Jeffords, party switching rhetoric, and offers potential avenues of research for rhetorical scholars.

At 10 Oclock a.m. I started for Mr. Schutte’s silver mine of Orcopampa, my party was rather numerous; it consisted of course of myself on mule back with a led beast for change, the muleteer Delgado, his lad Mateo, both mounted, an Indian guide on foot named Condor, and seven mules laden with various articles for the mine as well as some provisions for myself, two or three fowls, half a sheep, potatoes, bread, salt, and sugar, also some sperm candles, and a metal candlestick. The mules carried each a load from eight to nine arrobes, besides four arrobes the weight of the gear and trappings. I may as well say en passant that I carried the above various articles of food because I had been assured that on this route I should find few eatables. I, accustomed to the ways and habits of the Sierra, saw nothing particular in the costume of my companion, nevertheless I will describe it, the muleteers wore ordinary woollen trowsers, and jackets, a woollen poncho over the shoulders, Chilian boots to the legs, shoes to their feet, but with only a single spur, on the principle that if one side of the animal moved the other could not be left behind; their head covering was a Guayaquil straw hat, underneath it Delgado wore a woollen cap, also round his neck a piece [_] jerga, for the purpose of blind folding his beasts when loading [_] a second piece round his waist the two ends of which [_] [3] and preserved his trowsers.

  • The Influence of Lavinia and Susan Dickinson on Emily Dickinson
    THE INFLUENCE OF LAVINIA AND SUSAN DICKINSON ON EMILY DICKINSON APPROVED: anof1 Processor Consulting Processooljel r Iittor Professor VJ f. r. Director of l^he Department of English Dean 'of the Graduate School w< y ABSTRACT McCarthy, Janice Spradley, The Influence of Lavinia and Susan Dickinson on Emily Dickinson. Master of Arts (English), I May, 1973, 134 pp., 6 chapters, bibliography 45 titles. The purpose of this study is to seek out, examine, and analyze the relationship that Emily Dickinson shared with her sister, Lavinia, and with her sister-in-law, Susan Gilbert Dickinson. All of her letters and poems have been carefully considered, as well as the letters and diaries of friends and relatives who might shed light on the three women. The primary sources used in this study are Emily Dickin- son's poems and letters, and the personal accounts of people who knew the Dickinson family: Millicent Todd Bingham, Mabel Loomis Todd, and Martha Dickinson Bianchi. Also of great help were recent works of David Higgins, John Cody, and John Evangelist Walsh. The thesis is divided into six chapters, each centering upon Susan or Lavinia and their relationship with Emily. Chapter One traces Emily's attachment to her sister from childhood to death. It includes poems and notes written to or about Vinnie, referring to her cats, her frequent visits away from home, and her role as protector. Chapter Two 1 begins with Emily's early acceptance of Susan Gilbert, who eventually married Austin Dickinson. Emily's desire to remain on good terms with Sue can be seen in the poems sent to Sue that reveal dependency.
