  • The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon
    T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F... The Rise and Fall of Richard Nixon What events influenced Richard Nixon’s rise to and fall from power? Introduction This photograph was taken of vice presidential candidate Richard Nixon relaxing with his pet dog, Checkers, in 1952. In his famous “Checkers” speech, Nixon refuted accusations that he had misused campaign contributions. He emphasized his family’s modest means, claiming that his wife, Pat, wore not a mink coat but “a respectable Republican cloth coat.” On September 23, 1952, California senator Richard Nixon reserved a spot on television to deliver the most important speech of his career. With this address, Nixon hoped to squash rumors that he had accepted $18,000 in illegal political contributions to finance personal expenses. The Republicans had recently nominated Nixon to run for vice president on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s ticket. When these charges against Nixon became public, Eisenhower was noncommittal — he did not drop Nixon from the ticket, but he also did not defend him. In his speech, Nixon said, “Not one cent of the $18,000 or any other money of that type ever went to me for my personal use. Every penny of it was used to pay for political expenses that I did not think should be charged to the taxpayers of the © 2020 Teachers' Curriculum Institute Level: A T H E R I S E A N D F A L L O F...

Brands Dagmar Hamilton Mark Lawrence Michael Stoff Watchmen in the Night: The House Judiciary Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry of Richard Nixon by Benjamin Jonah Koch, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2011 Dedication To my grandparents For their love and support Acknowledgements I owe an immense debt of gratitude to my dissertation supervisor, David Oshinsky. When I arrived in graduate school, I did not know what it meant to be a historian and a writer. Working with him, especially in the development of this manuscript, I have come to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and he has made me a better historian. Thank you. The members of my dissertation committee have each aided me in different ways. Michael Stoff’s introductory historiography seminar helped me realize exactly what I had gotten myself into my first year of graduate school—and made it painless. I always enjoyed Mark Lawrence’s classes and his teaching style, and he was extraordinarily supportive during the writing of my master’s thesis, as well as my qualifying exams. I workshopped the first two chapters of my dissertation in Bill Brands’s writing seminar, where I learned precisely what to do and not to do.

  • Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film
    Representations of Female Adolescence in the Teen Makeover Film By Kendra Marston A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfilment of the Requirements for a Degree of Master of Arts in Film Victoria University of Wellington 2010 Abstract This thesis proposes to analyse the representation of female adolescence in the contemporary teen makeover film. The study will situate this body of films within the context of the current postfeminist age, which I will argue has bred specific fears both of and for the female adolescent. This thesis will examine the construction of the initial wayward makeover protagonist, paying attention to why she needs to be trained in an idealised gender performance that has as its urgent goal the assurance of heteronormativity and ‘healthy’ sex role power relations. I will also analyse the representation of deviant adolescent female characters in terms of how their particular brand of postfeminist female masquerade masks a power and status-oriented agenda. The behaviour of these characters is shown to impact negatively on the peer group within the film, and is particularly dangerous as it threatens to negate the need for romance. 1 Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgements 3 Introduction 4 Chapter One 23 Chapter Two 62 Chapter Three 86 Chapter Four 112 Conclusion 132 Bibliography 143 Filmography 153 Television Sources 155 Internet Sources 157 2 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge my supervisor Sean Redmond for the time he put in to helping me with this thesis, as well as for the encouragement, support and advice offered. 3 Introduction My Moment of Awakening in the Makeover Moment While watching The Princess Diaries (Garry Marshall, 2001) for the purpose of this research, I became fascinated by the particular tone of its makeover scene.

  • LOOKING BACK in HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville Area As Recorded in the Pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN
    WAY BACK WHEN: LOOKING BACK IN HISTORY Happenings in the Cookeville area as recorded in the pages of the Herald Citizen Newspaper, Cookeville, TN. By Bob McMillian 1970’s (Compiled by Audrey J. Lambert) http://www.ajlambert.com 1970 Everyone is taking about who might be the candidates in this summer's Cookeville City Council election, and the newspaper has surveyed the most likely candidates. Incumbent Robert King says he's in the race. Bob Poteet is about ready to announce a decision. Mayor Bobby Davis says he's honestly uncertain at this point. Noble Cody wants to be the next mayor. Kenneth Dyer says it's too early for a decision. Albert Maxwell says he's giving serious consideration to running. Donald Ferrell hasn't made up his mind yet and Wendell "Cotton" Johnson says he, too, is giving serious thoughts to entering the race. (January 8, 1970) Algood Mayor John Carr says that the Algood Board of Aldermen has decided not to follow a recommendation by the University of Tennessee's Municipal Technical Advisory Service. The agency said that Algood residents would be better off if Cookeville were to annex Algood. Taxes would be less because the tax base would be larger and governmental services would no longer be duplicated by the two next•door neighbors. But the Algood board said that it felt residents preferred hanging onto their town's identity and rejected the plan. (January 15, 1970) Baxter’s Larry D. Williams, 34, a lieutenant in the Navy, has been awarded the Bronze Star and the Air Medal for outstanding performance in combat missions in Vietnam.
