Despite strong potential, it will likely be some time before overseas operations begin to make genuine profit contributions (the role of platforms remains unknown), so overseas markets do not offer much relief either, in our view. As the market shifts to native smartphone applications, the balance between increased costs and growth in user numbers in the domestic market will likely become a critical earnings variable for social network game developers.

This master’s thesis uses as an example Washington Square Park, which has become a center of contention due to the interplay of public and private interests.

  • BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus
    BIOGRAPHIES John Antrobus (1837–1907): Sculptor and painter of portraits, landscapes, and genre scenes (showing everyday life). Antrobus was born in England but came to Philadelphia in 1850. During his travels through the American West and Mexico, he worked as a portraitist before opening a studio in New Orleans. He served briefly with the Confederate Army during the Civil War before moving to Chicago. Antrobus sculpted both Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas and was the first artist to paint a portrait of Ulysses S. Grant (in 1863). Edward Atkinson (1827–1905): American political leader and economist who began his political career as a Republican supporter of the Free Soil movement. Atkinson fought slavery before the Civil War by helping escaped slaves and raising money for John Brown. After the Civil War, in 1886, Atkinson campaigned for future President Grover Cleveland and worked against imperialism (the movement to expand a nation’s territorial rule by annexing territory outside of the main country) after the Spanish-American War. Baker & Co (active, 19th century): Lithography firm associated with Louis Kurz. Thomas Ball (1819–1911): American sculptor who gained recognition for his small busts before creating more monumental sculptures. Notable works include one of the first statues portraying Abraham Lincoln as the Great Emancipator (1876), paid for by donations from freed slaves and African American Union veterans, which stands in Washington D.C.’s Lincoln Park. Ball also created a heroic equestrian statue of George Washington for the Boston Public Garden (1860–1864). He joined an expatriate community in Italy, where he received many commissions for portrait busts, cemetery memorials, and heroic bronze statues.

    WARREN ADLER Warren Adler/ Press Kit “Adler writes with skill and a sense of scene.” The New York Times Book Review STONEHOUSE PRODUCTIONS GARGI SHINDÉ CREATIVE DIRECTOR OFFICE: (212) 350-9356 CELL: (917) 596-1897 [email protected] WWW.WARRENADLER.COM .co Warren Adler/ Press Kit Acclaimed author, playwright, poet, and essayist Warren Adler is best known for The War of the Roses, his masterpiece fictionalization of a macabre divorce that was adapted into the iconic dark comedy that starred Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. Following the success of his The War of the Roses, Adler went on to option and sell film rights to more than a dozen of his novels and short stories to Hollywood and major television networks. Random Hearts, The Sunset Gang, Private Lies, Funny Boys, Madeline’s Miracles, Trans-Siberian Express and his Fiona Fitzgerald mystery series are only a few titles that have forever left Adler’s mark on contemporary American authorship from page to stage to screen. Adler illuminates the intricacies of the modern American family through wit and realism, a trademark that has earned him the moniker ‘master of dysfunction’. He navigates the turbulent waters of the American political and social scene on the other hand with unsurpassed authenticity. His political thrillers such as The Henderson Equation, The Casanova Embrace, and American Quartet - a ‘New York Times notable crime book’ are born from his experiences as a former White House correspondent, and co-owner of Washington Dossier Magazine, chronicling the social history of the nation’s capital from 1975-1991.

  • Chapter 3: the Patrician Response
    3 The Patrician Response On the north side of Washington Square, on the square itself and on streets adjacent to lower Fifth Avenue, were the homes of the upper- class Villagers. These patricians were Protestants of Dutch, English, and French stock, some of them heirs to old wealth and to the handsome resi- dences that their parents or grandparents had built before the Civil War. Culturally, religiously, and politically, the north Village gentry had little in common with most of their near neighbors, the working-class and immi- grant Villagers who lived south and west of the square. Italian immigrants and Irish Americans worshipped at Catholic churches, while the gentry at- tended Sunday services at Protestant edifices along lower Fifth Avenue, elite congregations such as the First Presbyterian Church and the Episcopal Church of the Ascension. Irish, Italian, and African American Villagers gathered to drink and socialize in the numerous working-class saloons of the west and south Village, while the Protestant elite socialized in the ele- gant drawing rooms of their homes. These cultural and class contrasts were reflected in political rivalries, especially between the Irish Villagers loyal to the Democratic machine and the patrician Villagers who deeply distrusted Tammany rule. Again and again the Village gentry, whether they were Re- publicans, Independents, or Democrats, organized to challenge Tammany’s control of the city. By the turn of the twentieth century, the future of this upper-class north 77 78 chapter three Village enclave seemed increasingly uncertain. Tenementhousing and Ital- ian immigrants were invading the Village from the south, and commercial buildings were encroaching on the square from the east.
