  • Equality Winner’S Name Here | Company Name
    2019 THE NATIONAL LAW JOURNAL EQUALITY WINNER’S NAME HERE | COMPANY NAME Jeffrey S. Trachtman Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP Jeff Trachtman served as chair of Kramer Levin’s pro bono committee for 17 years. “The firm has been involved in LGBTQ equality issues go- ing back to the formation of GMHC, in 1981, as recounted in ‘The Normal Heart,’ a play about the early days of AIDS by Larry Kramer, whose brother was a firm founder. In the 1990s, I was asked to do an amicus brief in Boy Scouts v. Dale— what we used to call the ‘Homo 101’ brief, educating the courts about gay peo- ple. Later, we co-counseled with Lambda Legal on New York’s marriage equality challenge, Hernandez v. Robles.” Trachtman and the firm helped win one of the nation’s first rulings for marriage equality in that case. Although it was reversed on appeal in 2006, “there was such a backlash that the state assembly passed a marriage bill a year later, and the state senate followed in 2011. So our case did have an impact.” Trachtman has also filed Supreme Court amicus briefs in cases like Windsor, Obergefell, and Mas- terpiece Cakeshop representing “a wide range of mainstream religious groups favoring equality” and recently filed a similar brief in Bostock v. Clayton County, “which will determine whether Title VII covers gay and trans people.” Earlier, Trachtman also represented the lesbian partner of a 9/11 victim “seeking recognition as a surviving spouse under the Victims’ Fund.” Trachtman sees a mixed picture for the future.

  • J Ohn F. a Ndrews
    J OHN F . A NDREWS OBE JOHN F. ANDREWS is an editor, educator, and cultural leader with wide experience as a writer, lecturer, consultant, and event producer. From 1974 to 1984 he enjoyed a decade as Director of Academic Programs at the FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY. In that capacity he redesigned and augmented the scope and appeal of SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY, supervised the Library’s book-publishing operation, and orchestrated a period of dynamic growth in the FOLGER INSTITUTE, a center for advanced studies in the Renaissance whose outreach he extended and whose consortium grew under his guidance from five co-sponsoring universities to twenty-two, with Duke, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn, Penn State, Princeton, Rutgers, Virginia, and Yale among the additions. During his time at the Folger, Mr. Andrews also raised more than four million dollars in grant funds and helped organize and promote the library’s multifaceted eight- city touring exhibition, SHAKESPEARE: THE GLOBE AND THE WORLD, which opened in San Francisco in October 1979 and proceeded to popular engagements in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington. Between 1979 and 1985 Mr. Andrews chaired America’s National Advisory Panel for THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS, the BBC/TIME-LIFE TELEVISION canon. He then became one of the creative principals for THE SHAKESPEARE HOUR, a fifteen-week, five-play PBS recasting of the original series, with brief documentary segments in each installment to illuminate key themes; these one-hour programs aired in the spring of 1986 with Walter Matthau as host and Morgan Bank and NEH as primary sponsors.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

Opponents purchased newspaper advertisements which charged that the publicly funded production promoted a "homosexual, anti-family lifestyle." They held a rally, which attracted approximately 1,200 demonstrators. SMSU's attorney argued that the First Amendment barred cancellation ahsent substantial government interest, and asserted that the play was not obscene. Play opponents did not raise constitutional arguments, but suggested that freedom without commitment to moral order amounted to a "free-for-all." Some proponents of the production used the occasion to further AIDS education, while others labelled the play's critics as bigots. An arson incident brought national attention to the controversy and accusations from both sides in the dispute. The universi:4 formed a committee to oversee security for the play's performances.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) “After great pain, a formal feeling comes” After great pain, a formal feeling comes - The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs - The stiff Heart questions was it He, that bore, And Yesterday, or Centuries before? The Feet, mechanical, go round - Of Ground, or Air, or Ought - A Wooden way Regardless grown, A Quartz contentment, like a stone - This is the Hour of Lead - Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow - First - Chill - then Stupor - then the letting go - _____________________________________________________________________________ “After great pain, a formal feeling comes” After great pain, a formal feeling comes: The nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs. The stiff heart questions, was it he that bore, And yesterday, or centuries before? The feet, mechanical, go round— Of ground, or air, or ought— A wooden way Regardless grown, A quartz contentment, like a stone. This is the hour of lead— Remembered, if outlived, As freezing persons recollect the snow: First chill, then stupor, then the letting go… Adam Zagajewski (1945– ) Try to Praise the Mutilated World Try to praise the mutilated world. Remember June’s long days, and wild strawberries, drops of wine, the dew. The nettles that methodically overgrow the abandoned homesteads of exiles. You must praise the mutilated world. You watched the stylish yachts and ships; one of them had a long trip ahead of it, while salty oblivion awaited others. You’ve seen the refugees heading nowhere, you’ve heard the executioners sing joyfully. You should praise the mutilated world. Remember the moments when we were together in a white room and the curtain fluttered.
