Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Lisa F. Andrus "--- David A. Horowitz · Terence O' Donne 11 ~ The period of 1919 to 1939 was a significant one for the development of the literature of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The literary work produced in the region prior to the first world war was greatly influenced by the "Genteel tradition" of the late nineteenth century. By 1939, however, the literature of Oregon and the region had emerged from the outdated literary standards of the pre-war 2 period and had found a new, realistic, natural voice, strongly regional in nature and rooted in the modern American tradition.

Introduction Does the end ever justify the means? This question confronts and haunts the student of modem terrorism and revolution. In the first part of this century, Mahatma Gandhi, leading India in a non- violent struggle against British imperial rule, argued eloquently that violent means are never justifiable, no matter how noble the end. He convinced Indians to struggle for independence non-violently on the basis that "[t]ruth never damages a cause that is just."1 Leading this unique revolution, Gandhi provided a moral founda- * The author holds a law degree with Honors from the University of London (England) and teaches History and Human Rights at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.

Film Composers ...whose themes are sometimes presented in memorable light music arrangements... Composing for motion pictures and for television is sometimes thought to be the same job. Sometimes the same composers do have an opportunity to score TV series as well as films. But film and TV scoring are seen by cliquish Hollywood insiders as distinct areas of employment. Composing for feature films is considered more prestigious than doing the same thing for TV episodes, even though it takes the same skills and may challenge the composer more because of time limitations. Of course one reason for the distinction is the old motivation -- money. Motion picture scoring can pay more than episode scoring for television. It takes quite an apprenticeship and a lot of lucky breaks to migrate from TV to feature films. Despite this Web Site's emphasis on researching undiscovered THEMEs from radio and TV, feature film scores often yield some very tuneful tasteful melodies, which are sometimes found in very nice arrangements in the Light Music genre. A number of prominent film composers began in Hollywood by writing for TV, and developed their craft composing for the small screen before making the transition to "the big screen." John Towner Williams is a case in point. He used to go by the name of "Johnny Williams" in the days when he wrote for TV series, including "Checkmate", "Lost in Space", and other series.
