    My Favorite World #37 Eagle-eyed readers of this here bloggy pontificatory nonsense are well aware of Your Narrator’s affection for professional tennis. It’s what makes the two weeks that wrap around Labor Day my favorite sporty time of the year. Yep, it’s US Open time. It’s not just that your guide has attended the US Open – once at the venerable Forest Hills Club, where he had the great fortune to have the great Pancho Gonzales take a leak in the urinal next to his, and where the legendary Alan King deigned to sign his player program and flick a cigar ash in his, Your Narrator’s, general direction. “Have fun kid, don’t get drunk.” Such a sweet man. Nah, I’m kidding. He was an arrogant asshole. But he did sign my program. Later, at the grandly named US Open Tennis Center out in Flushing Meadows, Young Narrator watched Laver and Connors and Rosewall and Stan Smith and some perky little blond named Chrissie playing her first big match against Billie Jean, &c. The last visit in 1985 found Your Narrator yelling for/against Wilander and Edberg, Connors, McEnroe, and that guy who sounded like a disease. Gerulitis. Yeah.

Richard Deakin 111 ABSTRACT Whateverperspective one takes, contradictions in the relationship between the capital and the provinces have always been evident to some extent, and the British undergroundpress of the late 1960s and early 1970s is no exception. The introductoryfirst chapter will definethe meaning of the term 'underground' in this context, and outline some of thesources used and the methodologies employed. Chapter Two will show how the British underground press developed froman alternative coterie of writers, poets, and artists - often sympathisers of the Campaign forNuclear Disarmament movement. It will also show how having developed from roots that were arguably provincial the undergroundadopted London as its base. The third chapter will take a more detailed look at the background of some London and provincial underground publications andwill attempt to see what extent the London undergroundpress portrayed the provinces, and vice-versa. In Chapter Four actual aspects of lifein urbanand rural settings, such as communes, squats, and pop festivals,will be examined in relation to the adoption of these lifestylesby the wider counterculture and how they were adapted to particular environments as part of an envisioned alternativesociety.

  • Executive Summary
    Executive Summary A. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION The City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), in coordination with USTA National Tennis Center, Incorporated (USTA)1, is seeking a number of discretionary actions in connection with proposed improvements and an expansion to the facilities at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (NTC), located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens (see Figure S-1). These improvements collectively are known as the NTC Strategic Vision (the proposed project). The NTC is located on a portion of Queens Block 2018, Lot 1, on park land leased by DPR to USTA. The leased site is bounded to the north by the railway tracks of the LIRR’s Port Washington line; United Nations Avenue North to the south; the Passerelle Building (connects LIRR’s Mets-Willets Point station to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority [MTA]’s 7 train station, and Citi Field, the New York Mets baseball stadium) and Path of the Americas to the east2; and Grand Central Parkway to the west.3 The 42-acre NTC is one of the world’s largest public recreational tennis facilities. For 11 months of the year, its facilities are open to the public for indoor and outdoor tennis; USTA maintains the facilities year-round. The NTC is also host to the US Open, one of the sport’s four Grand Slam championship tennis tournaments. The event is staged during a two-week period around the beginning of September, is attended by approximately 700,000 spectators, and is broadcast worldwide. The proposed project would improve the NTC site plan, circulation, visitor amenities, and landscaping, and would include construction of two new stadiums to replace the existing Louis Armstrong Stadium (Stadium 2) in the same location, and Grandstand Stadium (Stadium 3) in a new location at the southwest corner of the NTC site, as well as possible improvements to Arthur Ashe Stadium (Stadium 1).

  • A STUDY of GEORGE Mcgovern's RHETORICAL STRATEGY in HANDLING the EAGLETON AFFAIR THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council Of
    7q A STUDY OF GEORGE McGOVERN'S RHETORICAL STRATEGY IN HANDLING THE EAGLETON AFFAIR THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Deanna Dippel Alfred, B.S. Denton, Texas August, 1976 Alfred, Deanna D. , A Study of George McGovern's Rhetor- ical Strategy in Handling the Eagleton Affair. Master of Arts (Speech Communication and Drama), August, 1976, 87 pp., 81 titles. The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze George McGovern's rhetorical strategies during the three-week period known as the "Eagleton Affair." First, the thesis de- scribes the communications related to the selection of Thomas Eagleton as McGovern's running mate in 1972. Second, it ana- lyzes the communications related to the disclosure of Eagleton's past medical history. Third, it explains McGovern's vacillat- ing rhetorical strategies and the communications which led to Eagleton's withdrawal from the Democratic ticket. The results of this study show that McGovern's rhetoric reflected indecisiveness, inconsistency, and impulsiveness. The rhetorical errors greatly damaged his credibility as a serious presidential contender. Copyright by Deanna Dippel Alfred 1976 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.
