Acknowledgements A great number of people were involved in the creation of the book you are holding. Our Manhattan Prep resources are based on the continuing experiences of our instructors and students. The overall vision for this edition was developed by Stacey Koprince and Andrea Pawliczek, who determined what strategies to cover and how to weave them into a cohesive whole. Stacey Koprince (SC, RC), Andrea Pawliczek (CR), and Daniel Fogel (SC) were the primary authors; they were supported by a number of content experts. Chelsey Cooley and Daniel Fogel served as the primary editors during the writing phase. Mario Gambino, Helen Tan, and Patrick Tyrrell served as a sounding board during the writing phase, vetting both ideas and content. Patrick Tyrrell deserves special mention as the source of multiple new ideas for the CR unit of the guide. Mario Gambino managed production for all images, with Derek Frankhouser and Israt Pasha lending their design expertise. Matthew Callan coordinated the production work for this guide. Once the manuscript was done, Naomi Beesen and Emily Meredith Sledge edited and Cheryl Duckler proofread the entire guide from start to finish. Carly Schnur designed the covers.

It feels like an academic test—math, grammar, logical reasoning—but it’s really not! At heart, the GMAT is a test of your executive reasoning skills. Executive reasoning is the official term for your ability to make all kinds of decisions in the face of complex and changing information. It makes sense, then, that graduate management programs would want to test these skills. It’s crucial for you to understand how they do so because that understanding will impact both how you study for the GMAT and how you take the test. You do need to know various math and grammar facts, rules, and concepts in order to do well on the GMAT—and this makes the test feel similar to tests that you took in school. There’s one critical difference though: When your teachers gave you tests in school, they tested you on material they expected you to know how to handle. Your teachers wouldn’t put something on the test that they expected you to get wrong. That would be cruel! Well, it would be cruel if the main point of the exam was to test your mastery of those facts, rules, and concepts. But that isn’t the main point of the GMAT. Rather, the GMAT wants to know how well you make decisions regarding when to invest your limited time and mental energy—and when not to.

  • A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department
    From Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion to Zorro Rides Again: A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department There are presently over nine hundred scripts in the Lilly Li­ brary Book department. The movies represented range from the silent version of Ben Hur to Breaking Away. The collection's scope is broad; one can find scripts for great film classics, musicals, mys­ teries, adventures, shorts, westerns, comedies, and science fiction movies. Many types of filmscripts make up the collection-drafts, cutting continuities, preliminary editions, shooting finals. Gener­ ally the scripts are accompanied by publicity photos. Although the majority of filmscripts in the collection are for talkies, several scripts are for silent films. The text of a silent film­ script is devoted primarily to directions for camera shots and de­ scriptions of the action, and provides title captions instead of dia­ logue. The earliest script in the collection is for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (released in 1921), the film that gave Rudolph Valentino his first starring role. The Big Parade (1925), King Vidor's popular film about an average man's experiences at war, estab­ lished John Gilbert as a top star. The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first full length feature with both singing and talking, starring AI }olson in his first movie role. Wings (1928), considered to be the last of the silent spectaculars, was the first movie to receive an Academy Award. Clara Bow and Charles Rogers starred in this tale of World War I flyers. One of the most lavish films of the silent era was the the 1926 MGM version of Ben Hur, starring Ramon Novarro, directed by William Wellman.

Journal of Religion and Popular Culture Volume 6: Spring 2004 The Deep Focus Typecasting of Joseph Schildkraut as Judas Figure in Four DeMille Films Anton Karl Kozlovic School of Humanities, The Flinders University of South Australia Abstract Cecil B. DeMille is an unsung auteur director, a master of the American biblical epic, and a founding figure of Hollywood. However, critics have routinely dismissed him as unfashionable, inauthentic or disingenuous. Rarely have DeMille's credentials as a legitimate religious artist been seriously investigated, acknowledged or applauded. One of his cinematic trade secrets was the utilisation of deep focus casting, that is, the engineering of significant correspondences between his on-screen characters and his actors' personal idiosyncrasies, which eventually resulted in their typecasting. Using humanist film criticism as the analytical lens, the critical literature is reviewed and eight components of DeMille's deep focus casting philosophy are identified.

  • Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: the American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955
    Working Papers No. 149/10 Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: The American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955 . Gregory Mead Silver © Gregory Mead Silver, LSE November 2010 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 Economic Effects of Vertical Disintegration: The American Motion Picture Industry, 1945 to 1955 Gregory Mead Silver Abstract In 1948, the United States Supreme Court declared the operations of eight of the nation’s largest motion picture studios in violation of the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act.1The decision ordered them to disintegrate their producer-distributor roles from cinemas. The Court believed this would promote competitive practices in a hitherto uncompetitive industry. However, these desired benefits were not entirely reached. Instead, by leading the Hollywood studio system to collapse, the Court also distorted the supply- chain for motion pictures. This work utilizes Coasian analyses of transaction costs to show that institutional integration was an efficient structure for the motion picture industry. It explores the motives to integrate and the benefits it garnered. Having laid this groundwork, it then assesses the effects theatre divorcement had on the industry and offers plausible counterfactuals had the studios remained intact after 1948. 1 Introduction There has been much conjecture over the effects that government intervention can have on industry. The case examined here is the intervention of the United States Judiciary on the American motion picture industry in the late 1940s. Since 1890, the year Congress signed the Sherman Antitrust Act into law, the government has served as the self- imposed overseer that assures the proper functioning of competitive markets.

  • «The Equivalent of an Important Star». Zur Rhetorik Der
    Cecil B. DeMille (Filmmuseum Berlin – Deutsche Kinemathek) Vinzenz Hediger «The Equivalent of an Important Star» Zur Rhetorik der Selbstpromotion in den Kinotrailern Cecil B. DeMilles The continuous and ambitious vigour of the DeMille approach and performance [...] rather tends to make one forget that he came in so long ago with the dawn of the modern feature picture era and has continued through in increasing importance without carrying any aura of «oldest inhabitant» or «sole survivor». He has always been thoroughly contemporary. (Terry Ramsaye über Cecil B. DeMille, 1952) Die Selbstpromotion bekannter Persönlichkeiten ist eine der wichtigsten Ver- marktungsstrategien der Medien- und Unterhaltungsindustrie, vor allem der amerikanischen. Stars sind Personen mit Produkt- und Verweischarakter; ihre Präsenz wird konsumiert, und sie dienen im Kreislauf von Produktion, Distri- bution und Konsum dazu, das Interesse der KäuferInnen auf bestimmte Ange- bote zu lenken. Während aber das Starphänomen und seine (fan-)kulturelle Bedeutsamkeit mittlerweile gut erforscht sind,1 fanden die Prozesse der Selbst- promotion bislang wenig spezifische Beachtung. Das ist umso erstaunlicher, als die Selbstpromotion einen besonders geeigneten Ansatz bietet, um jene umgreifenden Prozesse der Kommodifizierung von Subjektivität zu studieren, die im Zeitalter der Daytime-Talkshows zu einer dominanten Strategie der Medien geworden sind. Die mediale Öffentlichkeit und vor allem das Fernse- hen erzeugen Prozesse der Veräußer(lich)ung von Innerlichkeit, die es zu ver- stehen und zu bewerten gilt. Um eine Arbeitsdefinition der Selbstpromotion zu gewinnen, möchte ich auf die Feststellung Paul Ricoeurs zurückgreifen, dass man Wissen über das Selbst nicht durch unvermittelte phänomenologische Reflexion erwirbt; Selbstidenti- tät wird vielmehr über geschichtenförmige Konstruktionen aufgebaut (vgl.
