  • The Making of the Meyerson Photography by Danny Tu Rner
    THE MAKING OF THE MEYERSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY DANNY TU RNER Dallas is the city where, not so many years ago, the symphony went broke. Now, Dallas is home to one of the great concert halls of the world and to a symphony that shows eve,y sign of belonging there. The unlike­ ly story of how Dallas transformed itselffrom a musical backwater to a cultural star is chronicled in The Meyerson Symphony Center: Building a Dream, a new book by Laurie Shulman due out this month from University of North Texas Press. These excerpts from Shulman's book reveal the inside story of the critical moments when the hall's future, not to mention its very exis­ tence, hung in the balance. Thirty years ago, the reputation of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra was well established: It was financiallyinept, chaotically managed, and musically undistinguished. After a series of disasters in the 1973 sea­ son, including a musicians' strike, the board declared bankruptcy-----a rst in the history of any American symphony orchestra. The emergency-----and the embarrassing headlines-awakened the Dallas civic leadership. Longtime cultural stalwart Henry S. Miller, Jr. suddenly found himself and the symphony besieged with offersto help. With a renewed commitment from the business community, the sym­ phony was reorganized, refi.nanced, and rejuvenated. An exciting young director, Eduardo Mata, was hired and ticket sales began to percolate. Inevitably the question arose: How can we conceive of building a great symphony with.our first constructing a hall to house it? The answer to this question fell in 1979 to young Robert Decherd, scion ofthe Dealey family (now chairman of Belo Corp., publisher of the Morning News) who had been handed the symphony's reins.

  • The Quest for World Citizenship & Effective Global Governance A
    The Quest for World Citizenship & Effective Global Governance A Short History of World Federalism By Daniel Schaubacher, Founding & Board Member of CUNCR www.cuncr.org The Charter of the United Nations Organisation begins with the words: “We, the peoples…”. However, the peoples are not (yet) directly represented; the executive powers or governments of nation states are. A call for reform of the UN, if not democratic legitimation of the world organisation, is increasingly heard in many lands, even though the victor states of World War Two which permanently sit at the helm of the UN Security Council have not yet agreed, in spite of Article 103c of the UN Charter, to call in a UN Reform Conference. In the thirties and during World War Two, several politicians and statesmen as well intellectuals proposed true community if not federalist measures for world governance, while condemning nationalism of Nazi Germany, Italian fascism and Japanese military imperialism. Campaign for World Government is an American organisation which was formed in 1937. In 1938, Clarence Streit proposed in the USA, in a book Union Now ! that a Federation of Democracies be formed. His thesis made a great number of adepts on both sides of the Atlantic and eventually gave birth to two independent organisations in America and in Britain, called Federal Union. The invention of nuclear power caused great fears, given the discernible inefficiency of the UN system to control armaments of mass destruction. After the Second World War, the peoples of Asia and Europe were still greatly suffering of the disastrous consequences of the global conflict.

  • Winston Churchill
    Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965) The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill , the son of Lord Randolph Churchill and an American mother, was educated at Harrow and Sandhurst. After a brief but eventful career in the army, he became a Conservative Member of Parliament in 1900. He held many high posts in Liberal and Conservative governments during the first three decades of the century. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty - a post which he had earlier held from 1911 to 1915. In May, 1940, he became Prime Minister and Minister of Defence and remained in office until 1945. He took over the premiership again in the Conservative victory of 1951 and resigned in 1955. However, he remained a Member of Parliament until the general election of 1964, when he did not seek re-election. Queen Elizabeth II conferred on Churchill the dignity of Knighthood and invested him with the insignia of the Order of the Garter in 1953. Among the other countless honours and decorations he received, special mention should be made of the honorary citizenship of the United States which President Kennedy conferred on him in 1963. Early life Winston Churchill was born on 30 November 1874 into the aristocratic Spencer-Churchill family of the noble Dukes of Marlborough, but his mother was born in America. After enjoying a privileged childhood, Churchill began his education in 1888 at Harrow, a top London boys’ school. He did not prove to be an outstanding student and school was not therefore something he enjoyed.

  • Letter to World Citizens a Tribute…
    Letter to World Citizens Garry Davis Vol. XI/2, Apr/May 97 A Tribute…With a Caveat If I had to name one person who influenced me the most in my spiritual life, it would be Nataraja Guru, whose Memorandum on World Government we reprinted recently in its entirety. But the person who first inspired my search for a peaceful world was Emery Reves. In our last issue, we reminded you of some of the events of 1948, when the world citizenship movement sprang into life, beginning in Paris. But the preface to that story concerns my reading of Reves’ The Anatomy of Peace shortly after its publication in 1945. I had left the road tour of “Three to Make Ready” in Chicago, after playing straight to Ray Bolger in the Broadway production. It was my second show after “Let’s Face It!” (1940-41) with Danny Kaye (whom I understudied), and I danced in the chorus. My only other “road show” had been as a B-17 bomber pilot in the Air Corps from ‘42 to ‘46. The sole Broadway production casting in September 1946 was “Inside USA” with Bea Lillie. Every out-of-work actor in town auditioned for it, including me. From dozens of aspirants, I was hired as a second comedy lead by producer Horace Schmidlapp. But that summer, unemployed and still traumatized by the war and my part in the killing, as well as by my brother Bud’s death at Salerno, I had read Reves’ book. I was both shocked and elated. Nothing in my academic background had provided this knowledge.
