An era of jazz Jalopies Prohibition And Trigger-Happy Punks.” — Baby Face Nelson this essay examines a distinctive and coherent cycle of films, pro- duced in the late 1950s and early 1960s, which exploited the notoriety of Prohibition-era gangsters such as Baby Face Nelson, Al Capone, Bonnie Parker, Ma Barker, Mad Dog Coll, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, John Dillinger, and Legs Diamond. Despite the historical specificity of the gangsters portrayed in these “bio-pics,” the films each display a marked interest in relating their exploits to contemporary topical con- cerns. Not the least of these was a desire to exploit headline-grabbing, sensational stories of delinquent youth in the 1950s and to link these to equally sensational stories of punk hoodlums from 1920s and 1930s. In the following pages, some of the crossovers and overlaps between cycles of juvenile delinquency films and gangster bio-pics will be critically eval- uated.

Contact: [email protected] 1 Prudence and Controversy: The New York Public Library Responds to Post-War Anticommunist Pressures Stephen Francoeur Baruch College [Post-print version accepted for publication in the September 2011 issue of Library & Information History. http://maney.co.uk/index.php/journals/lbh/] Abstract As the New York Public Library entered the post-war era in the late 1940s, its operations fell under the zealous scrutiny of self-styled ‗redhunters‘ intent upon rooting out library materials and staffers deemed un-American and politically subversive. The high point of attacks upon the New York Public Library came during the years 1947-1954, a period that witnessed the Soviet atomic bomb, the Berlin airlift, and the Korean War. This article charts the narrow and carefully wrought trail blazed by the library‘s leadership during that period. Through a reading of materials in the library archives, we see how political pressures were perceived and handled by library management and staff. We witness remarkable examples of brave defense of intellectual freedom alongside episodes of prudent equivocation. At the heart of the library‘s situation stood the contradictions between the principled commitments of individual library leaders and the practical political considerations underlying the library‘s viability.

I stole from the bankers who stole from the people. Harry (“Pete”) Pierpont Member, Dillinger Gang Robbing banks and getting away in fast cars, John Dillinger was busy during a thirteen-month crime spree (in 1933-34). How did this gangster, also accused of murdering a police officer and designated "Public Enemy Number One," become an American folk hero? Because Dillinger was also a gum-chewing, easy-quipping, lopsided-grinning, charismatic guy - and journalists loved to write about him. If it hadn’t been for Harry Pierpont, John Dillinger may never have become a “Public Enemy.” If it hadn’t been for Indiana’s Pendleton Reformatory, the two pals might have never met. If it hadn’t been for a prison in Michigan City, Dillinger may not have learned Pierpont’s bank-robbing skills. And ... if it hadn’t been for Dillinger’s bank-robbing skills, he might have failed to become the Depression-era’s “most wanted man” (whom Americans secretly, or openly, admired). But ... this is not a story about might-have-beens. It’s a story about what was - and what became of a group of gangsters who helped give birth to the FBI.

  • DILLINGER Here in America, Ford Recently Has Lost a Little Legend and the Long-Deceased Marque Hudson Has Gained Some
    DILLINGER Here in America, Ford recently has lost a little legend and the long-deceased marque Hudson has gained some. According to the book, “Dillinger, The Untold Story,” John Dillinger, Public Enemy No.1, who supposedly favored Ford’s 1932 crop of hot and fast V8 flatheads, actually didn’t. According to “Dillinger,” Dillinger’s actual bank robbery vehicle of choice was Hudson’s model Essex-Terraplane 8. And all those admiring letters sent by Public Enemy No. 1 to Henry Ford? Apparently Dillinger never mailed them. Dillinger’s standing as the worst, probably most dangerous, crook of all time, remains unchallenged. He’ll always be remembered as the prototypical bank robber, the far-ahead-thinking hoodlum who was first to realize that the era of running the law ragged on hot-blooded stallions was finished: a really up-to-the-minute desperado must loot by automobile, and even employ shady racing drivers to chauffeur his getaway cars. So impatient was Dillinger to get on with a life filled with truly big-time crime that he began the enterprise by going over the wall at the Indiana State Prison. His date of escape was 26 September 1933. Accompanying him were murderers, embezzlers, and an assortment of other violent hoodlums, all destined to be known as members of “the Dillinger Gang.” You don’t, however, achieve the status of Public Enemy No. 1 without acquiring overwhelming firepower. So Dillinger began paying criminal calls on the only rival organizations in possession of all the dangerous weapons of destruction he and his fierce tribe of bank- robbers required.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law.

Couples Nell and Truman McGiver and Bert and Ethel Davis join sisters Mabel and Maude Gunderson in their virtual adventures around the world. Click here to learn more about the Front Porch Travelers. Page 2 The Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood, might have said it best in their song “Sweet Home Chicago” from the movie The Blues Brothers. They sang, “Baby, don’t you wanna go back to that same old place—sweet home Chicago,” and this month, the Front Porch Travelers are doing just that. Chicago is near and dear to Bert’s heart because that is where his grandparents lived during the 1940s. Page 3 Truman Loves History The city of Chicago is located in the area of the United States known as the Midwest. It is located in Illinois, which joins the states of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in what is also called the Heartland of America. Page 4 The first record of the name “Chicago” dates back to 1688 and was derived from the Algonquian word Chigagou, meaning onion field or wild garlic. The city’s first permanent settler was Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a trapper and merchant originally from Haiti. In 1779, he built the trading post that evolved into what we now know as Chicago.
