    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES VERNON WILLARD HUGHES 1921–2003 A Biographical Memoir by ROBERT K. ADAIR Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 84 PUBLISHED 2003 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. VERNON WILLARD HUGHES May 28, 1921–March 25, 2003 BY ROBERT K. ADAIR ERNON WILLARD HUGHES, Sterling Professor Emeritus and V senior research associate at Yale University, died on March 25, 2003, at the age of 81 at Yale-New Haven Hospi- tal from medical complications after an operation for an aneurysm. Hughes began research in physics in 1942 when he worked on radar at the MIT Radiation Laboratory. Dur- ing his terminal stay in the hospital, he wrote letters of recommendation for a postdoc working with him on a ma- jor experiment. Thus, Hughes worked at physics research— largely at the cutting edge of atomic, nuclear, and elemen- tary particle physics—for 61 years. Born in Kankakee, Illinois, on May 28, 1921, Vernon Hughes was raised in the Morningside Heights sector of New York City by his mother, Jean Parr Hughes, who was a librarian at Teachers College of Columbia University. His father, Willard Vernon Hughes, died when Vernon was three years old. As a New York City boy of his time Hughes played stickball in the streets—he later told his sons Gareth and Emlyn that he had been a very good stickball player—and he played tennis on the local Columbia University courts.

    The Ultimate Playlist This list comprises more than 3000 songs (song titles), which have been released between 1931 and 2021, either as a single or as a track of an album. However, one has to keep in mind that more than 300000 songs have been listed in music charts worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century [web: http://tsort.info/music/charts.htm].

That's pretty evidently meant to contrast with present- day Manhattan. Are there any major cities today which feel especially creative? EW: I've just spent two months in Madrid, which seems vibrant and alive, full of young people who inhabit the center and who stay up all night, a gay life that is flourishing... New York seems to have lost its edge. RC: By page two, you're hanging around, hoping to bump into Susan Sontag or Paul Goodman, author of the journal Five Years, a big deal in its day for its openness about his bisexuality and erotic adventures. The contrast in subsequent reputations of this pair is rather poignant, isn't it? As you point out, Goodman is scarcely recalled today, and almost never read.

  • Call for Papers for an Edited Collection on “New York City in Song”
    H-Announce Call for Papers for an Edited Collection on “New York City in Song” Announcement published by Sabrina Mittermeier on Wednesday, August 26, 2020 Type: Call for Papers Date: October 31, 2020 Subject Fields: American History / Studies, Cultural History / Studies, Music and Music History, Popular Culture Studies, Urban History / Studies New York City has one of the richest musical histories in all of the US, and has been the subject of an astonishing number of songs – something that has so far not been comprehensively addressed in academic works. Thus, the proposed volume under the working title “New York City in Song” wants to analyze songs written about New York City, and engage with the depiction of the city within them, but also use it as a way to deal with several musical genres that the city has been home to, and was instrumental in developing. These include the vaudeville and musical theater scene on Broadway and beyond, but also hip hop, disco, punk, folk, jazz, swing, rock or pop music. It will therefore contribute to both the fields of urban studies and popular music studies, which have become well- developed areas of study over the recent years, but are still lacking specialized literature – especially such that considers their intersections. We are seeking contributions from those with a cultural studies, media studies, music geography, cultural history or musicology background, making possible a far- ranging treatment of the interconnection of the city space and its musical history. We are looking for authors with an accessible writing style, while still having rigorous research standards.
