The new Grand Jury, as the former Grand Jury, has brought before it various people who were at City Hall the night of the riot and those who had information on the “conspiracy to riot” that May 21st night. Harry Britt, an appointed Member of the Board of Supervisors, defend­ ed the riots, on numerous occasions, much to the shock of many gays. Britt has repeatedly told people that he “had no regrets” about tfie actions by the rioters that night. He has told people that the anger that gays felt at the verdict had to l>e expressed. He said he would not apol­ ogize for any statements that he has made about the riots. To which attorney Terence Hallinan. who has “credentials” in the field of radical politics, particularly at ,San Francisco State in 1969 and other areas, has replied; “If Harry Britt is re-elected to the Board of Supervi­ sors, following his conduct at City Halt (May 21st), it would be like electing Nero to the Roman Senate after Rome burned.” Britt was brought before the Grand Jury this past summer, in fact he was number.two to testify, and he was followed by the Rev.

  • Dissertation Reconsidering Randy Shilts
    DISSERTATION RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER Submitted by Andrew E. Stoner Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2013 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: James C. Landers Joseph E. Champ Patrick D. Plaisance Michael J. Hogan Richard Breaux Copyright by Andrew E. Stoner 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER The role of openly-gay reporter and author Randy Shilts (1951-1994) is examined related to his use of journalistic practices and places him on a continuum of traditional reporting roles as considered in the context of twentieth century philosophers Walter Lippmann and John Dewey. Reporter functions demonstrated by Shilts are examined, including those dictated by expectations of either strong journalistic influence over society and media consumers, or those more aligned with democratic practices where education and participation emphasize strong roles for society and media consumers. Using a biographical approach including 17 primary source interviews of former colleagues, critics, sources and family/friends, the examination of Shilts’s work as both a reporter and noted author is presented as being heavily influenced by his forthcoming attitudes about disclosure of his sexual orientation from the start of his career and his desire to explain or unpack aspects of gay culture, and ultimately the AIDS crisis, to heterosexual audiences. Careful examination of the posthumous critique of Shilts’s work – including his construction of Patient Zero – is undertaken. The study concludes that Shilts fully engaged a Lippmann-esque approach embodied in an authoritarian role for journalism that sought to change the world in which it was offered, and did so perhaps most influentially during the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in America.

Cast: Matthew Modine, Michael Wright, Mitchell Lichtenstein, David Alan Grier. Summary: Stage play adaptation set in a U.S. military barracks in 1965. Four young recruits and two Army veterans await the orders that will send them to Vietnam.
