CONNECTICUT COLLEGE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Join us on our forthcoming Alumni Cruise of the Nile specially arranged by SWAN HELLENIC Educational Tours since 1955 March 2 - 19, 1991 Only the Nile can claim to have shaped life to such an overwhelming degree. or to have provided such a focus for the birth of a civilization which proved to be one of the greatest the world has ever seen. This cruise will be far more than an exceptionally pleasant and relaxing holiday: it is a way of reaching to the heart of ancient Egypt. Aboard the SWAN HELLENIC 'Nile Star' you will cruise in comfort to the awe-inspiring sites along the banks of the Nile, learning about each from our scholar/escort and local guide. There is so much to see, absorb, learn - and simply enjoy - and the itineraries are carefully planned to provide a welcome balance between cruising, sight- seeing and free time. Following each escorted visit, at most sites there will be time to linger or explore on your own. At other stops there may be a half day or so with nothing planned, leaving you free to relax on board, go shopping, or wander around the local town. To help everyone gain a greater appreciation of this remarkable area, informative but informal talks are given on board by one of the scholar/escorts. They are specially chosen experts with a most important talent, that of being able to blow away the dust of ages and recreate in vivid detail the life and times of those whose tombs, cities, monuments and treasures you will have joined us to see.

  • Jazz Musician Michael Wolff Interviewer: the Impact of TS Differs from Person to Person
    TSA FAMILY PORTRAIT Jazz Musician Michael Wolff Interviewer: The impact of TS differs from person to person. Tell us how it affected your life. M.W.: It’s created this whole movie (The Tic Code) that my wife wrote because I have Tourette, and that’s been pretty interesting for me. As a kid, I didn’t even know I had TS. I just thought it was my “habits.” There wasn’t a big diagnosis thirty years ago. (In that way) It was difficult for me. I’m lucky I have it very mildly, I just have some motor and vocal tics. It never really interfered with school work or concentration, anything functional. I was able to do well (in school) and I always had a lot of friends. It did make me self-conscious. Even though I’m very outgoing, I always had an inner feeling of self-consciousness. I spent a lot of energy, unconsciously as well as consciously, trying to hide it and pretend it was something else. I could never be cool and invulnerable but I told Jeffrey Kramer’s kids that Tourette guys get the chicks because they think you’re really vulnerable. You always do really well (with women). I didn’t get a real diagnosis, until a few years ago. I kind of figured out what I had in the mid-eighties. I was about thirty, a friend of mine who had two boys with Tourette Michael Wolff, Jazz Musician Teti Bloom said, “You have Tourette.” And I said, “No I don’t.” She gave me a book to read and I recognized myself.

Downloaded from DRO: http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30016714 DRO Deakin Research Online, Deakin University’s Research Repository Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B Fixers and foreign correspondents: news production and autonolt1.y Colleen Murrell Abstract The television foreign correspondent s licence to roam and generate news is increasingly under threat. This paper concentrates on the micro production processes of today s correspondent as he or she goes about thejob ofnews gathering "on the road", and considers the changing na­ ture ofthe correspondent s autonomy. It inserts the missing character in foreign newsgathering - the locally hired fixer - and explores how this person affects the correspondents autonomy. An analysis of interviews with 20 foreign correspondents and five fixers leads to the conclusion that the foreign correspondent is rarely the sole editorial figure on the road but is instead the main actor representing the creative interplay of a succession offixers or "local producers". This deconstruction of the ways in which a correspondent builds an ad-hoc newsgathering team each time he or she lands in a new place allows for a deeper under­ standing ofthe modus operandi ofreporters. Introduction When it comes to sharing the credit, I think that it is one of the high crimes in journalism, for western and non-western producers and fixers and translators to not share the credit. Because obviously with foreign correspondency and also with television, it is team work, it is not a single individual.

All in the midst of the American war in Iraq? Short Synopsis Theatrical feature documentary Only the Dead is the story of what happens when one ordinary man, an Australian journalist transplanted into the Middle East by the reverberations of 9/11, butts into history. It is a journey that courses through the deepest recesses of the Iraq war, revealing a darkness lurking in his own heart. A darkness that he never knew was there. The invasion of Iraq has ended, and the Americans are celebrating victory. The year is 2003. The international press corps revel in the Baghdad “Summer of Love”, there is barely a spare hotel room in the entire city. Reporters of all nationalities scramble for stories; of the abuses of Saddam’s fallen regime; of WMD’s, of reconstruction, of liberation. There are pool parties, and restaurant outings, and dinner-party circuits. Occasionally, Coalition forces are attacked, but always elsewhere, somewhere in the background.
