Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • Ouida Bergère
    Ouida Bergère Also Known As: Eulalia Bergère, Ida Bergère, Mrs. George Fitzmaurice, Mrs. Basil Rathbone Lived: December 14, 1885 - November 29, 1974 Worked as: adapter, film actress, scenario editor, screenwriter Worked In: United States by Laura Jacquelyn Simmons Ouida Bergère was perhaps best known in the film industry as Mrs. Basil Rathbone and party hostess extraordinaire. However, before her marriage, to Rathbone, Bergère was a prominent and top paid scenario writer. Bergère was born in Spain, but moved to the US at the age of six. Her father was French-Spanish and her mother, British (Lowrey 1920, 22). There is some conflicting information regarding her birth name; most sources claim she was born Ida Bergère, others Eulalia Bergère. Regardless, upon entering the film industry, she changed her name to Ouida. Bergère began her film career by serving as scenario editor and actress for Pathé Freres, eventually writing her own scripts and branching out to other companies, including Vitagraph and Famous Players-Lasky, according to the New York Dramatic Mirror in 1915 (24). Much of Bergère’s screenwriting career coincides with the career of her second husband, George Fitzmaurice, to whom she was married before Rathbone. She met Fitzmaurice after she started her screenwriting career, and after their marriage, he directed almost all of the films she wrote. As is the case with the many Hollywood marriages, Bergère’s relationship to Fitzmaurice must be considered when discussing her career, and, typically, because her career was so closely linked to that of Fitzmaurice, there is confusion about their credits. She very well might have had her hand in directing some of the films that have been credited to him, as was the case with other couples such as actress Alice Terry and director Rex Ingram.

  • Bread from the Book
    Bread From The Book Articles by Conrad Murrell On The Book Of Psalms John 6:50 [Jesus said,] This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Click Here For Index Of Psalms Articles 1 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” (Psalm 1.) In this first psalm, the writer draws upon rich imagery to mark out a sharp contrast between the righteous, the “blessed man,” the man whom the Lord “knows” and the “ungodly,” those who fear not God. The God-fearing man does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly.

In many ways it is disability―its disfigurement, impairment, and vulnerability and dependence―which raises the objection we have to life at its beginning and end. (See our past two issues: “Beginning and end of life” and “Re- conceiving the human person”). It is disability that we want to avoid, be it the disability of the one about to be born or the one at death’s door, not to mention the “disability” that they will cause the mothers, fathers, and children who will be responsible for them.Just a couple of months ago the whole world watched as a young, attractive, recently married American woman explained why she had scheduled her own death for November 1st for the precise reason that she could see no value in the disabling effects of her recently diagnosed brain cancer.

    The Journal of the Core Curriculum Editor-in-Chief Robyn Fialkow Editorial Staff Lauren Becker Wesley Furste Mollie Bergeron Sarah Hartshorne Matt Colangelo Juliana Jackson Jerrod Dolenz Jerome Turnbull Laura Wipf Managing Editor Zachary Bos Designer Amiel Bowers Poetry and Translation Editor Matthew Kelsey Advisor Professor Sassan Tabatabai Director of the Core Curriculum Dean James Johnson PUBLISHED IN MAY 2007 AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY The Journal of the Core Curriculum Editor’s Note When I think of the Core Curriculum, the first things that come to mind are family, intellectual discussion and bad jokes (but most- ly family and intellectual discussion). The Core is unlike anything else offered at such a large university; it fosters a welcoming com- munity of students and professors who are able to connect on both an academic and personal level. The professors act as mentors, as Plato is to Aristotle; guides, as Virgil is to Dante; and loyal com- panions, as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are to each other. Throughout our journey together, we have fallen with Milton and climbed with Petrarch, theorized with Hawking and sailed with Malinowski. In the brief time since our matriculation, we have explored two millennia of the most profound and inspira- tional literature, art and music, which are reflected in this volume of the Journal. Special thanks to my incredibly helpful and humorous staff, Zachary for his endless contributions to the Core (words cannot express my gratitude), Professor Tabatabai for his guidance, and Dean Johnson, who has served as the father of our family for these past two years.
