COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S REPORT I Executive Steinhilber told the Board that he had just returned from a reception honoring Yvonne Frank. She is a citizen of Winnebago County and serves on the Community Programs Board. She was given a national award by the U.S. Department of Health and Social Ser· I vices for outstanding volunteer work. This award is one of only nine awards presented nationwide. Executive Steinhilber extended his congratulations to Warren Basler I on his "1995 Lifetime Services Award" he received from the Wiscon­ sin Council on Aeronautics. Executive Steinhilber shared with the Board some good economic news on Winnebago County. Figures from Economic Development I News show that February unemployment rates in Winnebago Coun­ ty were 3.2%, which is lower than Wisconsin's rate of 4.5% and the United States' rate of 5.9%. Employment in Winnebago County was I at an all time high of 89,900 for the last six months. Executive Steinhilber told the Board that the Human Services Center-Oshkosh project is slightly behind schedule. WIC moved in­ to the building on April 24. The Department of Community Programs I is scheduled to move into the building on May 31. Social Services should be moved by the end of June. The Huber facility is on target and scheduled for completion by July 1. Bids for the new Highway I Department facility have come in within the budget. A completion date is set for mid-December. Work is continuing on Phase III (con­ version of the present Social Services Building to an administrative I office building). All departments concerned are being consulted to assure that there will be ample space for current and future needs. A meeting with the Property Management & Maintenance Commit­ I tee will be scheduled to go over the proposed plans for Phase III. I I 4 Adjourned Session (April 18. 1995) I On April 27, the Solid Waste Management Department is having I visitors from Thailand. They are coming to study our methane gas conversion system. Executive Steinhilber stated that he is "less than enthusiastic" about Motion No. 258-495, "Reconsider Resolution No. 255-395". He feels I that more study on juvenile justice is needed before a decision on this resolution can be made. He recommended that the Board layover this Resolution until a future date. I Executive Steinhilber told the Board that a $9 Million reconstruc­ tion project is beginning at the U.S. 41 and 45 interchange. This in­ terchange will be closed starting this week until completion in October.

LESSONS FROM THE FALL Andrea D. Lyon* A.Fr.ER THE MADNEss: A JUDGE'S OWN PrusoN MEMOIR. By Sol Wachtler. New York: Random House. 1997. Pp. 369. $24. This book is both better and worse than one would expect. It is the story of Sol Wachtler, former Chief Judge of New York State Court of Appeals.1 Wachtler had an extramarital affair with a woman for whom he had been appointed executor, and after the breakup he stalked her with letters, phone calls, and threats. Even­ tually he was convicted of extortion and sent to prison. His fall from power is what fascinates us, of course, but that is not what is valuable about this book. It answers an outsider's questions about the prison experience, seems to reflect accurately the dehumanizing aspects of prison, and cautions us regarding our wholesale ware­ housing of so much of our population.

  • The Feminist Origins of the Midlife Crisis*
    The Historical Journal, , (), pp. – © Cambridge University Press . This is an Open Access article, distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/./), which permits unrestricted re-use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. doi:./SX THE FEMINIST ORIGINS OF THE MIDLIFE CRISIS* SUSANNE SCHMIDT University of Cambridge ABSTRACT. This article tells the history of the midlife crisis, for the first time. Today, the idea of midlife crisis conjures up images of male indulgence and irresponsibility, but it was first successfully promoted as a feminist concept that applied to men and women equally and described the dissolution of gender roles at the onset of middle age. Although the term was coined by the psychologist Elliott Jaques in the s, it only came into general use two decades later with journalist Gail Sheehy’s bestselling Passages (), as a concept that relied on older understandings of middle age as a welcome ‘release’ from motherhood and domesticity. The feminist origins of the midlife crisis suggest, first, that journalistic publishing can be more significant for the history of an idea than spe- cialists’ theories, even if those precede it. Secondly and more importantly, it sheds new light on Susan Sontag’s classic analysis of the ‘double standard of aging’ by making visible how women used the notion of midlife change to undermine gender hierarchies. One might not have expected the history of the midlife crisis to begin with a shocking scene from a notorious massacre, still less that a woman would tell the tale.

  • By Joe Degennaro Our 75Th Diamond Anniversary Convention Is History and I Feel It Was Great Success. Why?
    RMS BULLETIN NO. 577 November/December 2015 by Joe DeGennaro Our 75th Diamond Anniversary Convention is history and I feel it was great success. Why? Because it fulfilled all that a collector could want in a convention. There were great collectors and friends, a nice gift bag at registration (manned devotedly by Gayle Hofacker), 13 dealer tables (which I believe may be a record for us), overflowing grab tables (thanks to Bob Hofacker), four terrific auctions (thanks to Marc Eedlman, the auctioneer and the great auction group who work so tirelessly), a display room filled with outstanding displays as well as items and pictures from our history (maned by Lorne Ross and his wonderful helpers), a great speaker on paper preservation and a wonderful Collector's Forum. I'm sorry if I missed any names but so many people worked and contributed. Okay, so the hotel involved a lot of walking but we can all use the exercise, especially me. There were 157 registered with 19 first time attendees. These days we like to go for quality rather than quantity. There were 27 states represented with the largest contingent coming from Pennsylvania followed by Ohio with 17, 5 people from Canada and 3 people from the U.K. There were 96 people at the Ice Cream Social (which included some great fun & games) and 97 at the final banquet. The 4 auctions took in $26,500 helped by a lot of great old items that don't come up too often. continued on p.3 2 RMS Bulletin November/December 2015, No.

Five StarsBy Desiree Williamsexcellent0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Could not get into - had to return audiobookBy NowhereStairsI purchased this as an audiobook and had to return it. I listened for over an hour and it was SO BORING. The narrator was good, but there was way, way, WAY too much back story. I just could not become interested. On an August night in 1986, Jennifer Levin left a Manhattan bar with Robert Chambers. The next morning, her strangled, battered body was found in Central Park. Linda Wolfe goes beyond the headlines and media hype to re- create a story of a teenager whose immigrant mother was determined to make a better life for her son, a petty thief and drug user who'd been expelled from the best schools. It's all here, from the initial police investigation, during which Chambers claimed Levin died accidentally during rough sex, to the media frenzy of the courtroom, where Chambers took an eleventh-hour plea.
