McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) T7300 THE TRIAL OF BILLY JACK (USA, 1974) Credits: director, Frank Laughlin ; writers, Frank Laughlin, Teresa Christina Laughlin (Delores Taylor) Cast: Tom Laughlin, Delores Taylor, Victor Izay, Teresa Laughlin. Summary: Melodrama set in contemporary Arizona. Billy Jack (Laughlin), the mixed-race Native American, ex-Green Beret, and Vietnam vet, is put on trial for two killings he committed in self-defense while protecting the Freedom School from small-town Arizona bigots. He is convicted and sent to prison, but the Freedom School thrives under Jean Roberts (Taylor). When Billy Jack is paroled for good behavior, he returns home to explore his tribal spiritual heritage. Meanwhile the Freedom School’s television station has broadcast exposés of America’s sociopolitical ills which have annoyed local officials. National Guard troops occupy the school’s campus, but the students resist. Billy Jack agrees to surrender to the Guard if they withdraw, but the Guard opens fire, killing many students and wounding Billy and Jean. The Guard is finally forced to withdraw from the reservation by the terms of an 1880 treaty, and Billy and Jean vow to rebuild the Freedom School. Includes flashbacks to atrocities committed by American troops in Vietnam. Adair, Gilbert. Hollywood’s Vietnam [GB] (p. 61) ___________.

The numbers reported, when the numbers have instantaneous tracking and reporting hurts little meaning? The motion picture industry, movies with weak openings, but helps movies aware that inflation helps movies grow bigger, with big openings become even bigger as has little interest in reporting highest grossing people flock to see what all the fuss is about. box office numbers with inflation-adjusted Due to inflation, the highest grossing movies dollars that will show the motion picture tend to be the more recent releases, which the industry is stagnant at best.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Native Americans in Popular Culture: a Proposal
    THE WAY WE NEVER WERE: NATIVE AMERICANS IN POPULAR CULTURE: A PROPOSAL FOR A VIRTUAL REALITY BASED EXHIBIT By JON C. KETCHEM Bachelor of Secondary Education - Social Studies Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 2004 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS December, 2017. THE WAY WE NEVER WERE: NATIVE AMERICANS IN POPULAR CULTURE: A PROPOSAL FOR A VIRTUAL REALITY BASED EXHIBIT Thesis Approved: Dr. Bill Bryans Thesis Adviser Dr. Laura Arata Dr. Doug Miller ii Acknowledgements I dedicate this thesis to the one person without whom I would not be able to pursue my dreams and goals. For twenty-five years, through every twist and turn of a constantly changing life, she has supported, nurtured, loved, and encouraged me with an abundance of love and the occasional metaphoric kick in the pants. Everything I have been successful at in the last quarter century of my life was only possible because of you. This one is for my Chicago-Hawaiian Rose, Anette Ketchem. I love you. I would also like to thank a few others for invaluable assistance along the way. To the faculty of the History Department and the College of Education at Oklahoma State University, thank you for helping me expand my knowledge base and professional skills. To Lu Ireton, Rodney Stewart, Robert Wilds, Tinia Petties, James Smallwood, Bill Steinbrink, and Patricia Nowlin, thank you for showing me by example the right way to teach. To the Power Triplets, Cara Eubanks, Sarah Barton, and Emma Fritz, your friendship and ebullient humor kept me sane through some truly stressful times as we pursued our MA degrees.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture

INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

  • Annual Report of the Town of Raymond, New Hampshire
    The Raymond Community Stewardship Committee Caretakers & Facilitators Of The Vision For The Future Established in July, 1992 by the Board of Selectmen as a permanent advisory committee of the Town of Raymond, our fifteen-member group of volunteers accepted a formidable challenge with enthusiasm. We are made up of eleven members at-large, plus one representative each from the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Board, the Conservation Commission, and the Raymond Industrial Development Corporation. As charged by the Selectmen, we are "to provide an orderly forum to discuss and consider matters that affect the town's public image, historic heritage, community spirit and public facilities planning." In addition, we are "to identify ways the town can leverage its assets to attract desirable business and industry in order to broaden its tax base." Formation of the committee grew out of Raymond's participation in the 1991 Governor's Commission on the 21st Century. Raymond was one of two communities chosen by the Office of State Planning to help the Commission develop a process and set of planning tools that could be used by communities state-wide, and that would enable them to direct the location, character and timing of their future development in order to 1.) conserve important natural resources, 2.) promote economic growth, and 3.) maintain the "rural" atmosphere that makes New Hampshire living so desirable. In January of '92 a series of intensely productive meetings took place between Raymond citizens and a Task Force of State Planning Officials and private-sector volunteers with expertise in banking, real estate, architecture, landscaping, conservation, the environment and historic preservation.
