Here and Vow NEW YORK — Taste and Grace — Those Two Words Sum up Vera Wang’S Spring 2006 Bridal Collection, Shown Here on Thursday GAP FILLS A BIG HOLE/2 LUXURY TIME FOR JAY-Z/2 WWDWomen’s Wear Daily • The Retailers’TUESDAY Daily Newspaper • April 19, 2005• $2.00 Ready-to-Wear/Textiles Here and Vow NEW YORK — Taste and grace — those two words sum up Vera Wang’s spring 2006 bridal collection, shown here on Thursday.

With Neiman Marcus Group expected to be sold as early as next month for a minimum of $100 a share, or in the $5 billion range, concerns are mounting over what it will all mean for the luxury chain’s future and its ongoing expansion. At the moment, it appears the bidding action has boiled down to two front- runners — Kohlberg, Kravis Roberts & Co. teaming with Bain Capital Partners, and Thomas H. Lee with The Blackstone Group. Other private equity firms apparently have taken a pass.

Acknowledgements I would like to first and foremost thank my advisor, Kathy Fuller-Seeley. This project was initially conceived of during my first semester at UT in her class, and she has supported me through all of its various iterations. Kathy’s commitment to her students and genuine kindness are a huge part of this thesis being a largely positive experience. I would also like to thank Tom Schatz for his support, time, and editing expertise. This project would not have been possible without such a supportive committee.

McKenna PhD Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham School of American & Canadian Studies March 2008 Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my PhD supervisor, Julian Stringer, for his tireless support of this project since its inception. Julian has provided me with extremely valuable advice and guidance as well as allowing me access to his extraordinarily detailed knowledge of film history and scholarship.

My thanks also go to the staff of the various libraries and archives I have visited: the staff of the Hallward Library at The University of Nottingham, the staff of the BFI Library in London, the staff of the Howard Gottleib Research Center in Boston and the staff of the Margaret Herrick Library in Beverly Hills – especially Jenny Romero.

    1W (FLEXIBLE CASTING): DIVERSITY AND DOUBLENESS IN ANNA DEAVERE SMITH’S ON THE ROAD: A SEARCH FOR AMERICAN CHARACTER DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mark Jeffrey Seamon, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Joy Harriman Reilly, Adviser Dr. Lesley Ferris _______________________ Adviser Dr. Alan Woods Theatre Graduate Program Copyright by Mark Jeffrey Seamon 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines playwright and performer Anna Deavere Smith’s critically acclaimed series, On the Road: A Search for American Character. Focusing on the project’s thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth installments, Fires in the Mirror: Crown Heights, Brooklyn and Other Identities, Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992, and House Arrest: A Search for American Character In and Around the White House, Past and Present, respectively, this study demonstrates how diversity and doubleness serve as the foundation of Smith’s dramaturgical investigation into the relationship between language and character. Smith focuses on communities experiencing socio-political duress and persons whose voices have gone largely unheard within those communities. In collecting, editing, and performing verbatim excerpts from interviews with white, African American, Korean, Latino, and Jewish women and men, Smith’s interest in cultural diversity plays a crucial role in fulfilling the mission of On the Road: to make connections between the seemingly disconnected and spark productive discussion about matters of race. Characters in Smith’s dramas regularly reveal a sense of double consciousness, to quote W.E.B. Du Bois’s influential concept, grappling with their awareness of themselves as racial minorities and how their identities are viewed as “other” by the dominant culture.
