"Flowers for McGillycuddy" is based on the life and times of Valentine Trant O'Connel McGillycuddy a physician and land surveyor who acted as the nations first "Indian Agent" for the Red Cloud Agency in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the late 1800's. The Lakota Sioux named Valentine a "Friend of Crazy Horse” after the Native American Chief allowed McGillycuddy to administer western medicine to his ailing wife. McGillycuddy was present when an infantry guardsman fatally wounded Crazy Horse and the physician provided morphine to the fallen warrior on his deathbed. McGillycuddy was considered a controversial pioneer in the effort to build a sustainable relationship between the United States and the Native American people. As a result of these actions, he was heavily investigated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. "Flowers for McGillycuddy" features performances and musical contributions from Fitter, Noa Winter Lazerus, and Adam Overton.
"107 for Baby Doe" is centered upon Elizabeth McCourt "Baby Doe" Tabor, who participated in one of the most famous and publicized love triangles of the nineteenth century. She became the "Silver Queen of the West" by marrying an incredibly wealthy mining tycoon named Horace Tabor in 1882. The couple lost their fortune in the silver crash of 1893 when the United States Federal Reserve demonetized silver. Baby Doe spent the remaining years of her life impoverished and living in a small cabin outside the Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado. After a series of tragic events including the death of her youngest daughter, Baby Doe became increasingly devoted to the Catholic faith and recorded a series of mystic visions directly on the walls of her home. In early March of 1935, her frozen body was discovered on the floor of her cabin, her arms peacefully crossed on her chest. After a particularly cold spell, she had apparently run out of wood for her stove. "107 for Baby Doe" features performances by Gabrielle Faragher and Barb May.
A convicted murder sentenced to death via gallows is the focal point of “Silence for Herbert.” Herman (Herbert) Young forfeited his life to the state of Arizona at 5:30am on the day of August 21, 1931 in payment for the murder of John Dye, a Tucson cab driver who Young had beaten to death with a wrench. Young was found to be in possession of Dye’s purse containing $73.50. Although he talked with his wife while eating his last meal, Herbert refused to comment on his crime. It was reported that Young went to the noose calmly and kissed a crucifix in preparation for death. He was the last person to be executed by hanging in the state of Arizona. The state switched from gallows to lethal gas in 1934. “Silence for Herbert” features Patrick Kennelly as Herman (Herbert) Young.
Ensign Hickory Floed from Portland, Oregon provides the subject for “A Trumpet for Hickory.” Floed was born on August 9, 1903. His father owned a local newspaper and he was the great grandson of General Joseph Lane, an American general during the Mexican-American War and a United States Senator from Oregon. Destined for a life of military and political service, as a young man Hickory participated in military training in the state of Idaho, He received an appointment to the United States naval academy by congressman Addison T. Smith in the first part of 1926. The young ensign died tragically on November third of that year when his airplane struck another machine at 3000 feet. The pilot jumped at about 200 feet but his parachute failed to open. The other plane landed safely. “A Trumpet for Hickory” features Asher Hartman.
“Songbirds for Anne Messing” was created in response to an obituary that ran in the Adams County Leader and a death certificate from the state of Idaho dated May 10, 1932. According to these documents, Anne P. Messing had suffered for years with hardening of the arteries and she died of cardiac failure in her home on April 28, 1932. Anne was born in Germany She immigrated to the United States with her husband Frank in 1898 at the age of 32. The couple settled in Mesa, Idaho in 1917 and successfully operated a fruit orchard. “Songbirds for Anne Messing” features a performance by Laura Bierma.
Charles Jesse Jones, better known as “Buffalo” Jones, serves as the central character in “An Electronic Voice for Charles Jesse.” Jones is considered to be the quintessential frontier cowboy. He was a buffalo hunter on the Great Plains in the 1870’s. Later in life, Jones came to bemoan the demise of the American Bison and he lamented his role in their slaughter. He sought to save the species from extinction by gathering buffalo calves and raising them on his ranch in Kansas. The capture of live animals became an obsession with Jones and he soon became famous for this skill. He formed a friendship and rivalry with Theodore Roosevelt who assigned him to be first game warden of Yellowstone National Park. The video features a performance by Robert Jacka as Buffalo Jones.

George F. Harding Collection;
George F. Harding Museum, Chicago, 1939;
Art Institute of Chicago, bequest of George F. Harding, 1982;
Deacessioned in 2014
D. Renoux, ‘Raoul Larche, statuaire (1860-1912)’ in Bulletin de la Société de l’Histoire de l’Art Français , 1990, pp. 243-76.
François-Raoul Larche began his studies in 1878 under François Jouffroy, Jean-
Alexandre Falguière, and Eugène Delaplanche at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux
Arts in Paris. Larche was a regular exhibitor at the official salons from 1884
onward and was awarded the Second Grand Prix in 1886 at the Prix de Rome
competition. At the Exposition Universelle in 1900 he received a gold medal.
After rather traditional beginnings, Raoul Larche became the quintessential Art
Nouveau sculptor through the evocative power of his many works. A road
accident in Paris on June 2, 1912 caused his premature death.
When Raoul Larche exhibited his La Tempête et se Nuées at the Salon of 1896
he shocked and divided the critics and the public. For an artist best known for
exhibiting more peaceful subjects such as Jésus enfant devant les docteurs in
1890, La Prairie et le Ruisseau in 1893 and La Mer in 1894, the group was
certainly a departure.
In his review of Larches’ career, Renoux was troubled by La Tempête
wondering at the artist’s audacity in trying to illustrate something as
“untranslatable” and “elusive” as a storm. For the critic Henri Rochefort it was
a masterwork and he described the work as “Michel-angelesque”.
Although highly original in sculpture, the theme of the storm was treated in
some important paintings earlier in the 19th century. Géricault exhibited his
Radeau de la Méduse , full of exhausted bodies at the Salon of 1819 and Eugène
Delacroix used the theme for his La Barque de Dante in 1822. This inspiration
is repeated in the latter part of the century with the evocation of La Tempête sur
les côtes de Belle-île by Claude Monet at the Salon of 1886, and especially in
sculpture by Rodin who started with his work on la Porte de l’Enfer , inspired by
Dante, as early as 1880.
Raoul Larche depicts his storm as the dynamic movement of a swirling wave,
carrying the bodies of four clouds, from which emerges a female figure in full
extension, embodying the storm, her mouth open in a powerful screech and her
arms outflung to destroy everything in her path.
With the repletion of the faces and the similar bodies La Tempête et se Nuées
also appears to be metamorphosis of a single woman, going through various

Raoul Larche won the award for sculpture at the Salon for this monumental
work measuring over 3.50 meter high. The city of Paris commissioned a bronze
example in this size. It was exhibited in the Salon of 1899, and then the
Universal Exhibition of 1900 before entering the collections of the Petit-Palais.
During World War II, the original cast was destroyed and the bronze melted to
recover the metal.
After the success of the sculpture at the Salon, the artist decided to have the
model edited by Siot-Decauville, the dimension reduced to a quarter of the
exhibition plaster. The foundry offered the 85 cm high bronze for 3,000 francs,
making Larche the second on the list of most expensive sculptors in the edition
catalogues (the first being Jean-Léon Gérôme).
The price of the cast, the complexity of the model and the size of the sculpture
explain why the edition was limited to very few samples. The chef-modèle of
the Siot-Decauville foundry reappeared in 1993 and is now exhibited at the
Musée du Petit-Palais in Paris.
Siot-Decauville also offered the present smaller version, which is 61 cm high.
Our sample of this cast is a particularly fine and detailed example.

Now that we got into 2012 for good, and with every new year most of us are trying to follow the infamous ''year's resolutions'', I decided that I should start something new in my life as well, like communicating more with people I consider interesting, and share my thoughts, likes and dislikes with them.
As you' ve probably understood already, I mean you guys, that helped me realize the power of communication, beyond human (scattered with land mines) borders!
And what best way to start communicating more with you, by sharing my thoughts about a thing I adore: Books!! Last year I managed to read 39 books (it was one of my 2011 resolutions - one book per week - and yes I keep a record - O.C.D is on its way... ), of various types: fiction, non fiction, biographies etc...
Through this blog, I will share my thoughts for books related to our hobby in a way (mostly historical books, or fictional that are ''into'' historical periods).
I think that they can help us get a broader picture of human history, with their diverse aspects and stories - so as to understand in a way...about our nature.
After this infinite prologue, I think I should start talking to you about the book I finished a few days ago, and I am sure that most of you have heard of it.
The book is written from Eric Larson and is called:
The story of this book, written by Eric Larson (a journalist, historian and author) who has visited Berlin, unfolds the journals of William Dodd, an American historian who served as the United States Ambassador to Germany from 1933 to 1937, during the Nazi era, and the story of his daughter Martha.
In these journal the Ambassador recorded the events day by day the critical first year, from July 1933 (when Hitler was appointed chancellor) until August 1934. Where all seemed very ''normal'' in a first glance, many dark things were happening ''behind the curtains''. That was one of the most impressive things during the first years of the Nazi era.
For visitors it was easy to travel to Berlin, stay in a nice hotel, make sightseeing walks and go with the feeling that everything was going by the clock. There was no evidence of violence and signs that Hitler was preparing for war, and Jews were isolated from society.
Through the memoirs of Martha, his daughter, which they did not give the feel of this growing darkness, Larson succeeds in showing the characters of the various senior Nazi officials met with the Dodds, in the parties and banquets which attended.
Appointed by F. D. Roosevelt himself, Dodd was expected to serve as a model of liberal American values, and Dodd fulfilled that role in the end. After his return / succession by H.R Wilson, he started the whole campaign in the U.S. against Hitler at a time when the American public did not want even to think of the prospect of engaging in war.
With this book, Larson achieves mixed results (as the Seattle Times conclude): As a suspense narrative, "In the Garden of Beasts" achieves mixed results: It's hard to warm up to the well-meaning but outmanned Dodd and his feckless, flirtatious daughter. But as a work of popular history, "In the Garden of Beasts" is gripping, a nightmare narrative of a terrible time. It raises again the question never fully answered about the Nazi era — what evil humans are capable of, and what means are necessary to cage the beast.
In my opinion, it was a book that travelled me back in some gloomy times of human history... and I would recommend it without hesitation (regardless of your origin). After all, we can become better if we learn from our mistakes...

Awaken Healing Center is located in a Victorian mansion built in 1896, nearby the prosperous City Park and what was once the Denver Public Library, now Public East High School. The building was previously known as ‘The Nutritional Therapy Institute’ established in 1999.
One hundred and twenty years ago, the neighborhood once known as mansion row, has the kind of story of nobility and time-tested longevity. Many of the mansions disappeared when commercial zoning came to Colfax, and fortunately this building still remained.
Awaken Healing Center was formed in 2012 by a healing practitioner, who first began her practice in one of the rooms in 2005. Enormous amount of care and renovation went into transforming what was once a school, into a full community of holistic practitioners.
Transforming the property to allow for one cohesive community wasn’t easy. There were four intensive months of renovation to fulfill the vision of an integrated center. Each project was decided upon and chosen to honor the legacy and era of the building’s history.
There are five entrances to the property. Seven main offices, a top floor private apartment, a sub-garden level with additional treatment rooms, a separate classroom building, and a travelers bed and breakfast suite with a private entrance from the garden.
Awaken is the kind of beautiful place that redefines what rejuvenation looks like, not a clinic or office building, but rather a type of Eden in the city. Surrounded by a full orchard of fruit trees; pears, peaches, apples, plum, along with grape vines and rose bushes, add a water fountain and it fulfills a true sanctuary. It’s a place where people come together and nurture what’s possible, and with the dedication of people in chosen healing fields, you discover you’ve come to the right place.

SEED Alum is a prime example of the impact that an investment in a single person can have on a community.
Mario García was awarded the prestigious Scholarship for Education and Economic Development to study Strengthening Rural Primary Education at Alamo Community College in San Antonio, Texas. A year later, he returned to his school in Sonsonate, El Salvador to become his school’s language and literature teacher.
Since his return to his home country, Mario has made a dramatic impact in his school and community and his school has become an example of success in the region. In the years since his return to El Salvador, Mario has:
- Trained 607 teachers from 273 rural schools to learn new methodologies and strategies on how to teach reading. This has directly improved reading for approximately 11,800 students.
- Become the Coordinator of the Integrated School System for his school district of Santa Clara. This impacts 10 schools with 88 teachers and 1,800 students.
- Created a school library and led a national campaign to teach fellow teachers how to create their own school libraries. Students take a major role in managing the library and parents have been trained both how to use the library and how to read with their children. His community now uses the library not only to check out books but it has become a meeting place to discuss and build community programs.
- Positioned his school as the magnet school for the Integrated School System.
Mario is a prime example of the impact that an investment in a single person can have on a community. Mario’s school is located in a low-income neighborhood of Sonsonate, the ninth largest city in El Salvador with some 60,000 inhabitants. Located on El Salvador’s Pacific coast, the province of Sonsonate is a strategic territory for drug traffickers. Its main port, Acajutla, is a major hub for drug shipments, and its proximity to Guatemala ensures quick ground transfer to and from Mexico.
However, Mario’s efforts are helping keep children and youth in school. Parents and community members are taking an active role in their children’s education. In turn, the student’s academic successes counteract the growing influence of youth delinquency and gang involvement.
The SEED Program was a USAID sponsored exchange initiative that provides U.S.-based technical training to youth and community leaders. The program creates productive and mutually beneficial academic, economic, and social relationships that benefit people of the United States and the Latin American/Caribbean region.


CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The question of the causes and consequences of the First World War is still much debated today but it is undeniable that it was the result of the geopolitical developments that matured in Europe in the second half of the 19th century and which subverted the balance of power that existed at the time. In particular, the rise of Prussia, in the period just considered, as a great power laid the foundations for German unification (GERMAN UNIFICATION: ORIGINS, CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES (geopolitika.it)) and therefore for the birth of such a geopolitical reality powerful, the German one, to threaten the interests of England not only on the European continent but soon also on the seas of the world (thanks to the creation of a powerful maritime and commercial fleet as well as a vast colonial empire). The German threat therefore did not present itself as a simple continental threat (i.e. a threat to the geopolitical structures on the European continent) but also as a direct threat to the English thalassocracy which, in fact, guaranteed London immense profits (thanks to trade with colonies and the main markets of the world) and was the true origin of his enormous wealth. Wilhelmine Germany also represented a direct economic threat since the powerful German industrial production came to compete directly with the English industrial output, making Berlin a formidable competitor on markets around the world. This situation worsened at the beginning of the 20th century since the exponential growth of German industry made the economic and commercial confrontation between Great Britain and Germany increasingly harsh and imposed a military confrontation to decide which of the two realities geopolitics should prevail over the other. The rivalry between Berlin and London was, without a doubt, by far the main reason that led to the outbreak of the conflict. Which had some background events that say a lot about the extent of the military and naval clash between Germany on one side and England (and France) on the other. The two Moroccan crises of 1905 and 1911, although resolved in favor of London and Paris, revealed how bitter the clash between London and Berlin had become and, above all, how threatening Germany had become on the seas of the world. With the aim of countering English thalassocracy and everything that derived from it (control of the straits, of the main commercial sea routes and, ultimately, of world trade). Which posed serious challenges for British hegemony since the latter had its raison d’etre precisely in the immense wealth that commercial activities guaranteed it.
CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR: THE FORCES IN THE FIELD AND THE GEOPOLITICAL INTERESTS OF THE VARIOUS NATIONS AT WAR
World War I was a total war. That is, the nations involved in the conflict (and in particular England and Germany who fought for dominion over the seas and for world power) committed every available resource to the war machine. Alongside England there were France, the United States of America, Italy (from 1915, based on what was established by the famous London Pact) and the Russian Empire until the October Revolution (1917). The interests of all these countries converged with those of Great Britain, based on their specific regional economic and territorial interests. Paris wanted to redeem itself from the humiliation suffered in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, reconquer the territories that it had been forced to cede to the nascent German empire (Alsace-Lorraine) and reduce the power of Wilhelmine Germany on the old continent. Washington entered the war (1917) to the aid of London for economic and commercial interests with Great Britain that a German victory would have seriously compromised and did so at a time when the developments of the communist revolution in Russia led to the end of hostilities on the Eastern Front . Rome took part in the hostilities to give full fulfillment to the territorial and geopolitical aspirations (liberation of Trentino and the territories of the Italian peninsula still under Austrian occupation) of which the Italian Risorgimento had become the spokesperson (there are those who consider the First World War such as the fourth war of independence) in contrast with the Habsburg power (whose interference in the affairs of the Italian peninsula increased exponentially after the Congress of Vienna). Moscow went to war against Austria not only out of solidarity with Serbia (of which it was a close ally) but also to counter Vienna’s expansion plans in the Balkans and to extend its influence over the Bosphorus area to the detriment of perishable Ottoman empire (aligned alongside the central empires). The interests of the Habsburg power, a close ally of Wilhelmine Germany, were relegated to the geographical context of central-eastern Europe and were aimed at strengthening the position of the Austro-Hungarian empire in this area to the detriment of the Russian empire and the Ottoman.
CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR: CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WAR AND ITS CONCLUSIONS
The First World War was essentially a war of position and attrition. In fact, except for the first phases of the war which saw the attempt by German troops to break through the Anglo-French defensive lines and penetrate French territory towards Paris, the conflict crystallized into trench warfare with very few territorial changes. Only on the eastern front, where the Austro-German troops faced each other on one side and the Russians on the other, could we witness phases of maneuver warfare with more or less extensive advances along the entire front line. But the various successes that the German army managed to achieve in the field did not lead to a decisive victory over the Russian army. At least until the insurrectionary movements of the Soviet revolution broke out. The “great war” was therefore won by those who were able to resist the longest and had greater economic, financial and material resources at their disposal than their adversary. A decisive role was played by the so-called “internal front” (i.e. the role played by the civil society of the various countries at war, not directly involved in the conflict but which in some way suffered its consequences) in all the belligerent states. In fact, when food resources (and materials in general) began to run out as a result of the war effort, the population’s discontent broke out in riots which undermined, from within, the resilience of the war effort. This happened above all in the central empires starting from the first months of 1918. In Germany due to the progressive exhaustion of the country’s economic resources and in the Austro-Hungarian empire also due to the nationalist claims of the various ethnic groups in the country. The war was therefore won by the richest nations with more resources available. This was the decisive competitive advantage of the so-called Western democracies.
CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR: THE END OF THE WAR AND ITS REAL GEOPOLITICAL REPERCUSSIONS
The victory of England and her allies in the First World War had as its first consequence the maintenance of English hegemony on the seas of the world. But the decisive war effort of the USA meant that the weight of the latter increased immeasurably on the global geopolitical scene. The American industrial and material industrial effort was indeed decisive for London’s victory (especially after the collapse of the tsarist army as a result of the October Revolution). Which meant that the USA began to join England, de facto, at the helm of the world. The reflection of these developments was the expansion of US financial capital in the world, the affirmation of the dollar as a global currency of exchange (along with the pound), and an ever greater geopolitical weight in the world. This was also evident in the post-war peace treaties where the geopolitical vision of the US political leadership was preponderant compared to that of their allies. Wilson in fact imposed the birth of the Society of Nations (which would later transform into the UN) as a supranational instrument with the formal aim of resolving geopolitical disputes peacefully (in truth, we still see it today, a mere instrument for the US hegemony in the world). He also imposed the so-called principle of self-determination of peoples according to which every people should be free to decide on their own future. For the rest, France reoccupied Alsace-Lorraine and obtained at Versailles the possibility of occupying the German industrial districts as a guarantee of the enormous war reparations that the treaty imposed on Germany. The power of which appeared completely reduced after the end of hostilities. Not so much for the territorial losses (relating more to the separation of East Prussia from the rest of the German Reich due to the so-called Danzig corridor) but also for the downsizing of the army and fleet that the peace treaties imposed on it. The country’s productive potential was also greatly reduced and placed under the partial control of the Anglo-French occupation forces in the industrial basins of the Ruhr and the Saar. The Austro-Hungarian Empire ceased to exist and in its place were born the different geopolitical realities of Central Europe that we still know today (the Austrian nation, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland). The Ottoman Empire also collapsed under the weight of the war and was dismembered into various geopolitical entities that are still alive and well today (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt). Italy obtained Trentino and Alto Adige but was unable to have everything it had been promised with the signing of the London Pact (hence the birth of the myth of the so-called “mutilated victory”). Russia, which had become the first communist country in the world following the October Revolution at the end of the war, had to face an attempted Western invasion of its territory as a result of the progressive annihilation of the Tsarist armies by the newly formed Red Army. An attempt that failed but which says a lot about how the affirmation of communism in the Eurasian country was one of the consequences most opposed by the Anglo-Saxon establishment during the entire First World War.


Yes, this is an invitation, but not to a party. Brad Edmondson, the reporter behind BenefitCorpReporter, learned about the world of socially responsible business by writing Ice Cream Social: The Struggle for the Soul of Ben & Jerry’s (Berrett Koehler, 2014). If you haven’t read it yet, you should!
The book is about the beloved ice cream company’s 35-year struggle to live up to its commitment to the triple bottom line, and how that commitment survived after the company was forced to sell to a huge corporation, Unilever.
It’s a funny, sad, and ultimately uplifting story written for a general audience, and it got rave reviews. Brad also built a large and lively web site to support the project, because it turns out that the Ben & Jerry’s story is an excellent way to introduce students to the big ideas driving socially responsible business. Check out the web site here. Better yet, cut to the chase and buy the book.
(You might be able to come to a party too, because Brad gets a lot of speaking invitations. Check here to see if there’s one coming up near you).

There has been this Book Bucket Challenge going on around social media recently. I decided to jump on the bandwagon and think about the ten books that have had an impact on my life. As I was trying to recall the books I had read, I realised that many of these are texts I studied in Literature classes in the past. In no particular order, these ten are:
- The Hunger Games Trilogy, Suzanne Collins
One of the few books I could not put down after watching the second film installment, the trilogy is a lot more accessible than other trilogies, and the themes are powerful and well-packed. I love the utopian/dystopian contrasts and the ideologies raised in the series. Plus, the film, although nowhere as good as the book, is an awesome accompaniment to the written word.
- Flowers for Algernon, Daniel Keyes
It was one of the first few books that made me cry. It was nothing but heartache watching Charlie Gordon degenerate, while at the same time conscious of his degeneration. It made me realise how much we crave human relationships and love and intelligence and gave me a glimpse of what makes us human.
- Dracula, Bram Stoker
I studied this as part of a Geopolitics module in Literature and absolutely loved it and how ingenious Stoker was in incorporating the geopolitical relations in the gripping novel.
- Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte
A dark romantic classic which I can never forget. As cheesy as some parts can get, they always give me goosebumps. The elusive Mister Shao is probably influenced by the darkishly handsome Mr Rochester, more than I dare to tell. And Jane Eyre – strong, passionate and bold – as one of the perfect female protagonists.
- Gulliver’s Travels, Jonathan Swift
A long ago travel narrative that unlocked my interest in satirical novels. This one is simply brilliant.
- Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad
This novella has been read over and over since I studied it as an ‘A’ level text. I loved the sensitive way Conrad treated the natives and Kurtz/Marlow, as well as the post-colonial influences on the novella.
- The Outsiders, S. E. Hinton
If I had a choice, I would want to teach this book to the teenagers I work with. I think it raises questions about who belongs on the ‘inside’ and the ‘outside’, and it is one of those powerfully moving books that probes and questions what we are introduced to – strangely familiar in the real world we know.
- The History of Love, Nicole Krauss
‘Part of me is made of glass, and also, I love you.’
I think Krauss managed to treat ‘love’ in an extremely mature and thoughtful way for all the characters in her novel. What sticks with you at the end of the novel is not the narrative, which is rather disjointed, but the powerful and emotive quotes that just strike you as memorable and worth remembering. I was surprised how ‘love’ was treated in this novel – without adhering to its usual romantic thread.
- Cranford, Elizabeth Gaskell
I don’t know why I like this book, but I do. It left a strangely pleasant aftertaste reading about the mundane and peasant lives of women. Of course, what made the reading so pleasurable was the sense of humour Gaskell conveyed.
- The Bible
Of course, I believe the Bible holds some Truths in life which has influenced me more than I am even conscious of. It transforms me day by day, and although I have put it down for a while, I hope it will continue to mould me as a person.

I read the news today, Oh boy/
About a studio that’s changed its name/
And though the news might make some sad/
Well, I just had to grin/
I knew it way back when.
My apologies to the Beatles for stealing and butchering the lyrics and meter of “A Day in the Life,” but it was the most appropriate song I could think of to express the bittersweet and mixed feelings of loss and relief I felt as I read the Washington Post story about the Disney Corporation’s decision to drop “Fox” from “20th Century Fox.” For almost 15 years I grew up under those searchlights that swept across the great silver screen as the swirl of drums leading Alfred Newman’s soaring fanfare heralded the arrival of yet-another wonderful movie produced and/or written for the screen by my grandfather, Charles Brackett.
Growing up with a Hollywood icon
I was born one year before my grandfather and his writing partner, Billy Wilder, parted ways at Paramount Pictures as one of the most successful writing and producing teams in Hollywood, as documented in “It’s the Pictures That Got Small”: Charles Brackett on Billy Wilder and Hollywood’s Golden Age,” for which I wrote the foreword.
By the time I was old enough to see my grandfather’s movies, he’d moved to 20th Century Fox and was on his way to earning the second two of his four Academy Awards (he won his first two for Sunset Boulevard and The Lost Weekend, under the Paramount logo). At 20th Century, Gramps (as we called him) wrote and/or produced some of the most iconic films of the 1950s, including: Niagara, with Marilyn Monroe and Joseph Cotton; Titanic (his third Oscar); The King and I with Yul Brenner and Deborah Kerr; John Steinbeck’s The Wayward Bus, with Jayne Mansfield; Ten North Frederick, with Gary Cooper, and Journey to the Center of the Earth with James Mason and Arlene Dahl. Of my grandfather’s more than 45 credited films from 1926–1962, 18 were 20th Century Fox productions.
Charles William Brackett was a Hollywood oddball…a politically conservative but liberally-aware old-school (Williams and Harvard Law) gentleman’s gentleman. He’d put off law school to join the Army and serve in France during Word War I. After the war, and with a law degree, he pursued a journalism career, writing short stories for The Saturday Evening Post, authoring five novels, drafting a few plays, and working on the staff of The New Yorker as a theater critic, associating daily with his friends and colleagues who made up the Algonquin Round Table.
In the mid-1920s, he and Hollywood flirted with each other, with the relationship firming up in 1936 when he finally caught a contract sufficient to support him and his family in Hollywood.
In a Hollywood environment known for casual wear and tennis courts, my grandfather was a double-breasted suit kind of guy, getting almost daily haircuts, making sure his ties and pocket handkerchiefs were “just so” and choosing to drive Packards, Lincolns, and touring Jaguars rather than smaller, spiffier sports cars or coupes.
Politically Right, Socially Left
Although he was rabidly anti-FDR, and often hosted national Republican candidates at his Bel Air home, Brackett nonetheless advocated for, and often financially contributed to, civil rights movements in the 50s and early 60s. He was especially attuned to the fates of his friends who had either fallen on hard times, or who were struggling with alcoholism — Dorothy Parker among them. He had little use for the anti-communist fervor which swept over the movie industry, and he did not turn his back on friends who had been blacklisted.
During his time at 20th Century Fox, my grandfather made sure that whenever my family and I were visiting (my dad was military, so we were on the road a lot, and the Brackett house in Bel Air was our respite home in between duty stations), Gramps would bring me to the various sound stages and back lots where his movies were being produced. It was pretty heady stuff for a little kid to sit behind the cameras and watch a scene go through a dozen iterations, or to climb into the partial cockpit of a bomber that would appear in a war movie, or to walk the streets of a western town that moments before had been action-central for a gunfight.
For me, the stars of the day were welcome guests at the house, and it was not unusual for my grandparents to share their Sunday breakfast table with the likes of Raymond Massey, Richard Haydn, Bing Crosby, Walter Pidgeon, Olivia de Havilland, the columnist Hedda Hopper, and whatever actors, writers, and producers were working on a Brackett film at the time. Even Walt Disney stopped by for dinner. How ironic.
The old system ran into the new reality
That was the 20th Century Fox era that I knew and grew up in, and it marked the beginning of the end of a halcyon time for an industry that still reflected the glow of the golden age of Hollywood. By the time of my grandfather’s death in 1969, the Hollywood he knew was long gone, and the art of screenwriting, producing, and bringing a film to the audience was more intertwined with the “business” of movie-making than he would have been able to cope with — practically and philosophically. He certainly would not have tolerated someone like Rupert Murdoch overseeing a film, television, and news empire with such rapacious corporate greed and politically freighted control.
That is all in the past, and with Fox dropped from the 21st Century brand, it feels like the echoes of the fun days of Hollywood have finally petered out, more with a whimper, I’m afraid, but it was inevitable. My grandfather and our whole family had a wonderful time of it, and I’m forever grateful to him for his legacy and his body of work.


'Mary Poppins,' 'Pulp Fiction' among 25 movies added to National Film Registry
The family classic film "Mary Poppins" is getting recognition, along with 25 other films, for its "great cultural, historic or aesthetic significance to the nation's cinematic heritage," according to the Library of Congress.
It was announced on Wednesday, Dec. 18, that the 1964 movie, as well as films like "Pulp Fiction" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"" are being added to the National Film Registry this year.
"The National Film Registry stands among the finest summations of more than a century of extraordinary American cinema," Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington said in a statement. "This key component of American cultural history, however, is endangered, so we must protect the nation's matchless film heritage and cinematic creativity."
The new selections bring the number of films in the registry to 625. The full list, which can be seen below, also includes the documentary "Roger & Me" and the western "The Magnificent Seven." Each year the Librarian of Congress names 25 films to be added to the registry. The films must be at least 10 years old and the public can nominate titles.
The induction of "Mary Poppins" into the registry just happened to occur at the same time as the upcoming release of the film "Saving Mr. Banks," which is a behind-the-scenes look at the early stages of the making of the 1964 musical film and the issues Walt Disney had with P.L. Travers, the British author of the book series by the same name, when trying to adapt the books for the silver screen.
"Mary Poppins" stars Julie Andrews, who won an Oscar for her role in the film, and Dick Van Dyke recently appeared at the premiere of "Saving Mr. Banks" in Los Angeles and talked about why "Mary Poppins" has a special place in the hearts of many film lovers.
"'Mary Poppins' is a wonderful, family movie. All the family can enjoy it," Andrews explained to OTRC.com. "And I was just saying that every seven years there's another generation coming along that would probably be introduced to it and so it just goes ... the circle goes on and on and on with a good film."
"That's true of a lot of movies, but 'Poppins' seems to have been around for a long time because it is about family and about love and safety," she added.
Van Dyke said, "Walt Disney is the real why, I think. It's because he had a hand in it every day. He was right there and just with the combination of the Sherman brothers and the great tunes they wrote, I think that Walt and the Sherman brothers made that the movie it was."
The actor also admitted that he still occasionally sings songs from the film and sang a little sample of "Jolly Holiday" during our interview, which can be seen above.
"Saving Mr. Banks" hits theaters in wide release on Dec. 20. Check out the full list of films added to the National Film Registry below.

This is truly a MUST-READ Book!!
This is my third book which was published in 2017.
WHY SHOULD YOU READ THIS BOOK?
- To understand why we lose our temper.
- To learn practical ways to control your anger!
- To know the side effects of Anger!
- Read live example of loss of a life of a young professional over 2 Rs CHANGE – Unbelievable!!
- Read live example- how a young bright professional lost his job because of his one impulsive anger.
- Must understand how anger can destroy the marriage of couples, relationships and families. Is it worth it over 1 second of impulsive anger?
WHY DID I WRITE THIS BOOK?
The inspiration to write this book came from a most shocking headlines of Times of India newspaper of 26th July, 2016 when my eyes stuck on a very disturbing piece of news reading- “Youth dies in a petty fight with a auto driver over 2 Rs change”. This young man was a BBA graduate, had just got his first job. What a loss of precious life and what an avoidable life-time shock and punishment for the youth’s old parents.
The second reason of writing this book is my own family. A few family members must first accept that they have an anger issue. They also need to accept that anger harms them as much as it harms other family members who are cool. Once they accept these facts, they should be able to make a conscious efforts to develop a mindset to demonstrate a high degree of tolerance and anger control. Yes, you can make it happen.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS BOOK:
- Anger is a drop of ink in a glass of milk. Once you become angry, there is no turning back. Once the ink gets into the milk, the milk is lost for ever.
- A decade of good work can be wiped out by anger is an instant.
- In detachment, anger, at best, is a tool and many a great man has used it in order to create an impact.
- Like a knife in the hand of a murderer can take away somebody’s life, same knife in the hand of a surgeon can save life of somebody.
- Likewise, if detached, ‘anger’ could be a tool, if attached, you become its tool. Anger is manifestation of love.
I dedicate this book to you, the reader!! I shall feel rewarded if you apply the life lessons you discover within these pages to create a wonderful world for you and for all those people around you. Make a difference atleast in the life of one person you love. Take that vow today!!
