  • Constitutional Law-Fourth Amendment Search and Seizure in the Context of Air Piracy
    CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-FOURTH AMENDMENT SEARCH AND SEIZURE IN THE CONTEXT OF AIR PIRACY In United States v. Moreno' the issue of search and seizure in the context of air piracy gained prominence. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that anyone anywhere in an airport may be searched if he has a bulge in his coat and evidences devious conduct, is hesitant, and acts suspi- ciously. Abraham Pina Moreno was arrested at the San Antonio Interna- tional Airport on January 21, 1972, for the unlawful possession of heroin with an intent to distribute. Deputy United States Marshal Granados, a member of the airport's Anti-Air Piracy detail with 20 years of experience in law enforcement, noticed that Moreno, upon deplaning, appeared to be quite nervous and wary of the security guards around the airport. Subse- quently, Moreno left the airport in a taxi and returned two hours later. Granados recognized him on his return and once again began observing Moreno as Moreno switched ticket counters several times before finally purchasing a ticket. Moreno then noticed Granados and went into a rest- room. Granados followed, and once inside the restroom Granados noticed a bulge in Moreno's coat. He approached Moreno, identified himself, and asked if anything was wrong. Moreno replied that he was simply a little nervous because of his taxi trip downtown to a hospital and because of the fare back to the airport. Granados became even more suspicious because he had checked with the cab driver and knew that the bus station, not the hospital, had been Moreno's downtown destination.

Loechle Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of the History of Art Indiana University November 2010 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctoral Committee _________________________________ Chairperson, Sarah Burns, Ph.D. __________________________________ Janet Kennedy, Ph.D. __________________________________ Patrick McNaughton, Ph.D. __________________________________ Beverly Stoeltje, Ph.D. November 9, 2010 ii ©2010 Anne M. Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

  • The Evolution of Yeats's Dance Imagery
    THE EVOLUTION OF YEATS’S DANCE IMAGERY: THE BODY, GENDER, AND NATIONALISM Deng-Huei Lee, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: David Holdeman, Major Professor Peter Shillingsburg, Committee Member Scott Simpkins, Committee Member Brenda Sims, Chair of Graduate Studies in English James Tanner, Chair of the Department of English C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Lee, Deng-Huei, The Evolution of Yeats’s Dance Imagery: The Body, Gender, and Nationalism. Doctor of Philosophy (British Literature), August 2003, 168 pp., 6 illustrations, 147 titles. Tracing the development of his dance imagery, this dissertation argues that Yeats’s collaborations with various early modern dancers influenced his conceptions of the body, gender, and Irish nationalism. The critical tendency to read Yeats’s dance emblems in light of symbolist- decadent portrayals of Salome has led to exaggerated charges of misogyny, and to neglect of these emblems’ relationship to the poet’s nationalism. Drawing on body criticism, dance theory, and postcolonialism, this project rereads the politics that underpin Yeats’s idea of the dance, calling attention to its evolution and to the heterogeneity of its manifestations in both written texts and dramatic performances. While the dancer of Yeats’s texts follow the dictates of male-authored scripts, those in actual performances of his works acquired more agency by shaping choreography. In addition to working directly with Michio Ito and Ninette de Valois, Yeats indirectly collaborated with such trailblazers of early modern dance as Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncan, Maud Allan, and Ruth St.
