The article told how Nieman credits Roosevelt and especially the late professor Charles-Gene McDaniel for giving him skills he has used throughout his career. “He was very much into the ABCs of journalism – accuracy, brevity and clarity,” Nieman said. “We had to get the facts straight. Charles-Gene was not very kind if you did sloppy work.” After I wrote the article, Nieman sent me an email saying that he and his wife, Sacha deBoer, a photographer and Nieman’s former co-anchor, were planning to spend most of the summer of 2016 in Chicago. “Do you know of anyone who might want to swap houses with us?” he asked. Well, it didn’t take long before my wife, Terry, and I and our neighbors, Linda and Roger Bain, “volunteered” to spend a total of eight weeks in Amsterdam while Rick and Sacha stayed in our houses. The arrangement worked wonderfully and Nieman wound up writing a book for the Dutch about his experiences, titled (in Above, top: Alumnus English) What We Can Learn from America. It is based on his observations doing such Rick Nieman and things as marching in a local Fourth of July Parade, visiting Roosevelt and Chicago, Sacha deBoer watching how American television covered the presidential election and taking a two week motorcycle ride on the Natchez Trace from Memphis to New Orleans. In the alumni essay on page 77, Nieman summarizes his book, pointing out that “the U.S. is still very much a dynamic, optimistic, can-do society.” I think you’ll find his insights uplifting, especially at a time when Americans are weary of politics, crime and economic issues. On another topic, I want to acknowledge the readers who took time to comment on the new look of Roosevelt Review by the design firm Ted Studios. Here are two of them. “Totally enjoyed the Spring 2016 magazine,” wrote Richard Wills (BS, ’65).

  • Glee: Give Us Something to Sing About Meenasarani Linde Murugan
    Glee: Give Us Something to Sing About Meenasarani Linde Murugan Good Vibrations: Glee’s Pop Music Archive Glee occurs at the intersection of various genres: teen program, musical, and variety show. Though the copious amount of musical numbers makes it difficult to parse out the various ways music is integrated into the show, what is apparent is the show’s enacting of an archive of pop music. The show revives forgotten songs, puts them in dialogue with or at least puts them next to recent hits, reinvigorating them for viewers of a wide age range. In featuring young performers doing renditions of old songs, Glee is similar to American Idol. On Idol, a pop archive is presented to the audience and in some cases to the singers as well. On a Stevie Wonder-themed episode, beginning music buffs can learn his body of work, devotees can see their favorite songs reinterpreted, and a singer can learn that even though he’s a rocker, soul can too work for him. A similar moment of singer-song incompatibility happens when Mr. Schuester makes the boys sing Madonna’s “What It Feels Like For a Girl.” Here, a legendary artist’s pop song is taken off its pedestal, free from the assessment of judges, and into the realm of the relational and interior. Unlike Idol where young singers are trying to be deserving of the pop song they choose to sing, Glee presents a youth that is often best expressed with the songs of an earlier generation. This interest with songs of the past is not foreign to teenagers, on screen and off, but demonstrates how teen television uses music to add depth to their characters.

  • A VIRTUAL CABARET EVENT in Support Of
    A VIRTUAL CABARET BENEFITING THE NATIONAL BREAST CANCER COALITION FUND FROM THE HOSTS OF AND THE NEWGala YORK Sunday, December 6, 2020 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET A LETTER FROM FRAN Dear Friends, Welcome to our first-everVirtual Cabaret Event and an evening of talented performances and tantalizing fun, all for a great cause. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of our Les Girls Cabaret and the 25th Anniversary of our NY Gala, and these two special events have sustained the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC), year after year. When the pandemic hit, I began to wonder if either event would happen. But we found a way. Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our Event Committee, the encouragement of our sponsors, the personal commitment of our hosts and performers, and the imagination of our production team, we are able to combine both events and once again offer a one-of-a-kind, fantastic evening. We are forever grateful to all of them. Since 1991, NBCC has been at the vanguard of the breast cancer movement, elevating breast cancer to an issue of national significance. NBCC brought about a federal research program that has awarded over $3.75 billion in research grants. We empower women and men, through education and training, to become a unified voice to save lives. And through our Artemis Project®, we lead a collaboration of exceptional scientists and dedicated advocates who focus on research to prevent women and men from getting breast cancer in the first place and stop it from metastasizing and taking lives.

(RCF) is a lay organization, with many religious members, dedicated to promoting orthodox Catholic teaching and fighting heterodoxy and corruption within the Catholic hierarchy. Our Philosophy While we accept the authority of the Holy Father and all bishops in union with him, we will not sit idly by, nor blindly follow, while many in the hierarchy allow the Holy Catholic Church to be torn apart and assaulted by the forces of Modernism, Syncretism, Heresy, and the gross immorality of some of its clergy. As parents and teachers, we will not allow our Catholic youth to be robbed of their faith or have their innocence destroyed in the name of “tolerance”, “ecumenism”, “diversity” or any other politically correct ideology of the day. We object to individuals or groups of individuals being given access to Catholic schools, churches, and Church property to promote any belief, teaching, or idea contrary to Catholic teaching as defined by two thousand years of Tradition and Church teaching. We expect every Catholic priest to follow the disciplines of the Catholic Church as he promised. We expect every bishop to do all he can to safeguard the souls of our children by exercising his authority to ensure proper teaching within Catholic schools and parish religion programs.
