But what resonated most was the depth of her investment in the artists, and her commitment to championing their place in society. There’s no doubt that the show will be widely discussed and give cause for head scratching, argu- ments and swoons. But whatever our individual views on individual works, Rujeko reminds us that they all offer the gift of perspective, as well as the opportunity “to use a different part of our brain and a different part of our heart, a different part of our being, to think about things.” While we’re on the subject of big openings, we were thrilled to catch up with Anna Boden ’02, director of the surefire blockbuster Captain Marvel, not long before it hit theaters on March 8. For the uninitiated, the movie is the latest installment in the epic and inter- connected Marvel Cinematic Universe that has ruled the box office over the last decade. It’s also the first in the series to be directed by a woman. What better way, then, to pay tribute to this barrier breaker than by giving her a starring “superhero” role? Associate Editor Anne-Ryan Sirju JRN’09, herself an avid Marvel fan, pitched the idea for a graphic feature when we first learned that Anna was on board, and then collaborated with talented artist Steve Mardo. It’s been a joy to watch Annie marshal this passion project from con- ception to completion, and its approach marks a first for the pages of CCT — kapow!

Karl Marx and Karl Polanyi have developed reputable theories that describe social movements as exercising a degree of control over political economy.

  • San Mateo County
    san mateo county the newsletter for the Libertarian Party of San Mateo County independence day 2013 image: Robert Santorelli jefferson weeping by Judge Andrew Napolitano Do you have more personal liberty today than on the Fourth of July 2012? When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he used language that has become iconic. He wrote that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not only did he write those words, but the first Congress adopted them unanimously, and they are still the law of the land today. By acknowledging that our rights are inalienable, Jefferson’s words and the first federal statute recognize that our rights come from our humanity – from within us – and not from the government. The government the Framers gave us was not one that had the power and ability to decide how much freedom each of us should have, but rather one in which we individually and then collectively decided how much power the government should have. That, of course, is also recognized in the Declaration, wherein Jefferson wrote that the government derives its powers from the consent of the governed. To what governmental powers may the governed morally consent contents in a free society? We can consent to the powers necessary to protect us from force and fraud, and to the means of revenue to pay for a government to exercise those powers. But no one can jefferson weeping ........... 111 consent to the diminution of anyone else’s natural rights, because, contact us ………....................

  • Glenn Killinger, Service Football, and the Birth
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities WAR SEASONS: GLENN KILLINGER, SERVICE FOOTBALL, AND THE BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN HERO IN POSTWAR AMERICAN CULTURE A Dissertation in American Studies by Todd M. Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.
