  • Boston Divided: Representations and Perceptions of Judge Garrity and Morgan V
    Boston Divided: Representations and Perceptions of Judge Garrity and Morgan v. Hennigan by Kerri Anne-Marie Hutchinson A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Kerri Anne-Marie Hutchinson 2009 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract In 1974 Boston, Massachusetts was forced to confront its civil rights violations. In the case of Morgan v. Hennigan, Judge W. Arthur Garrity Jr. found the city of Boston guilty of intentionally segregating its public schools and ordered Boston to bus students to achieve integration. When busing commenced in the fall of 1974, Boston was a city divided. The citizens of Boston were divided into two main groups: the opponents and supporters but there was no uniform consensus in either group. This study will argue that the motivations for support or opposition were multi-faceted. Those who supported busing had varied reasons for their support and those who opposed busing had varied reasons for their opposition. Through the examination of local and national newspapers and letters of public opinion this work elucidates how Judge Garrity and the Morgan v. Hennigan decision were represented and perceived throughout the city. iii Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Andrew Hunt, for his continuous support and enthusiasm throughout the year.

    Page 1 Low-Cost Ways to Generate High-Price Publicity By Nancy Michaels Top 10 Takeaway Tips 1. The differences between advertising and publicity are many. In short, you pay for advertising and you pray for publicity, but not entirely. You have much more control when you purchase an ad in a newspaper or other media outlet, however, the consumer knows the difference between a paid ad and editorial content whereby an "objective" source feels you, your story or your business are truly compelling enough to write about. Advertising will cost you money. Publicity will cost you sweat equity. 2. When pitching yourself to the media, be sure to put yourself in their shoes. Why would you or your business be newsworthy to write about at this time? Do you other sources to give the reporter to better round out the story? Have you done your homework and know what "beat" they cover and they are the ideal person to pitch this story to? 3. In addition to keeping a folder of media contacts or reporters/editors whose topic area relates to you and your business and whose style you like, there are directories that can be found at the reference section of your local library such as Bacon's Publicity Checker. Almost all industry trade associations have publications as well. If your business is local, offer to take the editor of your local newspaper out to lunch and ask him or her what kinds of stories he/she is interested in. Offer names of others who have interesting businesses or could be good resources as well.

My goal is not merely to win office, but also to support the initiative on the ballot in Massachusetts this November to abolish the state income tax, and to promote the Libertarian Party philosophy to the public so others who share this philosophy can be elected to federal and state office and/or inspired to work towards instituting Libertarian principles.

  • Tito Francona Smiled on Monday As He Recalled His First Drive up to Cleveland So Many Decades Ago
    Return to Cleveland a Francona family affair By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | 10/08/12 4:35 PM ET CLEVELAND -- Tito Francona smiled on Monday as he recalled his first drive up to Cleveland so many decades ago. When the city was within view, just breathing everything in let him know he could get to like this town. "I saw the steel mills and saw all the smoke," Francona said. "I took a good whiff of it and said, 'You know what? This is just like home.'" Home for Francona is New Brighton, Pa., a steel town located roughly two hours southeast of Cleveland, where Francona suited up for the Indians during the 1950s and '60s. Cleveland always felt like his second home, so Francona was thrilled to be back inside Progressive Field on Monday morning. That is where the Indians officially introduced Terry Francona -- Tito's son -- as the 42nd manager in the franchise's long history. During his press conference, Terry Francona offered a warm smile and thanked his dad for being there, along with his wife, Jean. It was clearly a special moment for the Francona family. Terry will never forget telling his dad he was going to be the manager of the Indians. "I kind of cried a little bit," Terry Francona said. "I didn't want to, but it just happens. You can't take a job because your dad was a good Indian, but it's still a good story. My dad spent six years here. This is my third stint with the Indians, and it's pretty special.
