FEAT~ Families preoccupy us over Christmas and the holiday season. This month two of our writers take a fresh look at the intricacy of family bonds, and the delicate business of being honest about them in print. ~? Peter Rose (pictured, above right, with his brother Robert, and his father, Collingwood hero Bob Rose, below) discloses some of the difficulties-and the rewards-of writing Rose Boys, his poet's account of growing up in a sporting family, and dealing with his brother's life and premature death. In quite a different vein, Tracey Rigney tells the story of her grandfather, Jack Kennedy, a Wotjobaluk man from Dimboola, who fought with the Sixth Division in Syria and later campaigned for land rights back home. A playwright, Tracey catches the voice and dignity of a man she both loves and admires. Dorothy Horsfield, in 'Seven days in Kabul', looks at the aftermath of war in Afghanistan, and meets some extraordinary characters involved in its reconstruction. Back home, Bruce Duncan and Andrew Hamilton examine the theory and practice of just war-and ask whether or not Australia should be involved in Iraq. • -Morag Fraser See page 16 for winners of the November 2002 Book Offer.

  • Sammy Cahn and the Enactment of Request
    ROMANCING THE VERNACULAR: SAMMY CAHN AND THE ENACTMENT OF REQUEST by MARILYN JUNE HOLLOWAY submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject ENGLISH at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR I A RABINOWITZ APRIL 2016 i SUMMARY The lyrics of Sammy Cahn played a dominant role in shaping the Golden Age of American light music. He remains the most successful lyricist in cinema history, in terms of Academy Awards and Nominations, yet he has received little acclaim for his achievements. This thesis explores the diverse constituents of his creative genius, focusing on his ability to “romance the vernacular”, and write “bespoke” material on request. The argument follows a chronological path, tracing the major influences on Cahn’s life: vaudeville and musical theatre, the growth of the film industry, and the collaborators and performers who helped him achieve a level of mastery that he sustained for nearly fifty years. Particular emphasis is placed on his relationship with Frank Sinatra, on both a personal and professional level. Cahn had an acute awareness of the human condition and his ability to convey a range of emotions to match mood and moment displayed consummate craft and intellect, with a self-confidence that bordered on bravado. His contemporaries in the Golden Age of popular song have received due recognition, yet little has been written about Cahn, whose appreciation of the interaction between spontaneity and creativity remains unsurpassed by fellow lyricists. He had an intuitive understanding of the vernacular and an instinctive ability to write to order.
