Rather than Congress Street, the answer now is more likely to be the "Old Port Exchange". This is the area of Exchange Street, below Middle Street, and Fore Street at the foot of Exchange. The area dates back to the earliest days of Portland and early chroniclers of Portland's history described it as the most heavily populated part of town. Author William Willis, in his HISTORY OF PORTLAND 1632-1864, refers to the "very valuable tract lying between Exchange and Lime streets and extending from Middle Street to low water mark". The property was owned by Deacon Milk, who died in The Mariners' Church 1772, having lived in a house which stood on only whole blocks, but entire streets, they are generally finished wiihin after a the left bank at th e corner of Fore and massive warehouses, lofty churches, splendid superior style with our richest native woods, Exchange streets, overlooking the harbor (it mansions, ancestral homes, in .

  • We Can Rebuild Him and Her: Bionic Irony, Hysteria, and Post-Fordism's
    We Can Rebuild Him and Her: Bionic Irony, Hysteria, and Post-Fordism’s Technological Fix in The Six Million Dollar Man Simon Orpana University of Alberta The working man’s crash landing Silvia Federici and George Caffentzis have observed that, when it comes to utopian visions regarding the societal benefits of space travel, it is not so much the alleged reasons for making a journey to Mars that matter but “what they can do to you on Mars when they get you there” (58). Pro- grams such as the Apollo missions or even current speculation about manned missions to Mars, whatever scientific benefits might be expected, simultaneously generate a host of less obvious outcomes that are nonethe- less useful from the point of view of social control, nation building, and ideological reinforcement. Collecting moon rocks might have added to the storehouse of human knowledge, but the Apollo missions were also immensely useful to the U.S. government for providing a unifying goal by which to capture the national imagination in the midst of such legitima- tion crises as those related to Vietnam, the Cold War, and environmental destruction. We might go further, with Caffentzis and Federici, and discern in the asceticism and other-worldliness required by space exploration a way of disciplining the terrestrial labour force: “The launch of today’s high-tech industry needs a technological leap in the human machine—a big evolutionary leap in creating a new type of worker to match capital’s ESC 42.1–2 (March/June 2016): 89–114 investment needs” (61).

    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing).
