Contributors to this anthology show how such classics as Strangers on a Train Vertigo North by Northwest , and Rear Window along with several of Hitchcock's less famous moviesregister the ideologies and insurgencies, the normative assumptions and cultural alternatives, that shaped these formative and tumultuous decades.

Mercury Truck History near the Canadian border during the 1940s, 50s, or 60s As a point of history, Ford was in business in For instance, like the americanbuilt Ford trucks, Ford http://www.mercurypickup.com/merc_history.htm
Extractions: The Meteor, Monarch cars and Mercury trucks first appeared in April, 1946 because of Ford of Canada's postwar marketing strategy. More lower-priced cars were sold in Canada than in the United States because of the slightly lower standard of living, not to mention whopping sales and excise taxes that added almost 20 percent to the sticker prices across the border. To give the Canadian Lincoln-Mercury dealers a broader range of cars that reached into the low-price market, they sold the Meteor, a Mercury-ized Ford. To counter any sales advantage from Lincoln-Mercury dealers' broader range, Ford dealers got the upscale Monarch, a Mercury clone. Because smaller Canadian towns had either a Ford-Monarch or Lincoln-Mercury-Meteor dealer, but not both, the L-M-M network got the Mercury truck. Canadian-made Ford and Mercury trucks differed, for the most part, only cosmetically. Many years it was just "Mercury" versus "Ford" letters on the hoods and pickup tailgates, plus distinctive medallions that set them apart. Often there was a bit more glitz on the Mercury trucks, in keeping with their slightly-more-upscale image. As far as the dash plastic molding in 48-50, only the Mercury had a kind of gray marble look, where Ford was tan in color. But occasionally there were distinctly-different grille layouts. For instance, like the American-built Ford trucks, Ford of Canada's 1946-47 pickups were warmed-over pre-war models, but the Mercury trucks were treated to a heavily-chromed grille and bumper treatment, compared to the Ford's plain looks.

Extractions: current issue back issues history subscribe By ANDREW SILOW-CARROLL Me, Myself and Israel : "In subsidizing trips to Israel and funding Jewish day schools, are Jewish philanthropists retreating into a narrow tribalism?" asks Michael Massing in an article in the November 6 number of The American Prospect . Mr. Massing's article, "Should Jews Be Parochial?," is a survey of the recent "Jewish identity" initiatives of such "megadonors" as Michael Steinhardt (the vice chairman of this newspaper), Charles and Edgar Bronfman Steven Spielberg Leslie Wexner Charles Schusterman and Morton Mandel Mr. Massing compares these efforts, more than somewhat unfavorably, with a number of organizations "explicitly dedicated to social goals." These include the American Jewish World Service, the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, the Jewish Women's Archive and the Jewish Fund for Justice, all of which serve Jewish and non-Jewish populations and which operate on a fraction of the budget of the "identity" programs. For Mr. Massing, the comparative lack of support for true tikkun olam (repairing the world) is a betrayal of the famous dictum of the rabbinic sage Hillel, who asked, "But if I am only for myself, what am I?"

Forest Fire In The American Southwest-Logging In the 1940s, 50s and 60s, an agricultural model of sustainable forestry favoring evenaged management Fire in America A cultural history of wildland http://forestfire.nau.edu/logging.htm
Extractions: Logging truck and Whiting girl, 1960. Logging of the ponderosa pine forests of the American Southwest began in the 1870s and 1880s largely on the odd-numbered sections of land deeded to the transcontinental railroads for twenty miles on each side of the tracks. At first, the harvest was primarily used for railroad construction products such as ties and telegraph poles. Gradually, as a timber industry developed, increased volume was removed to supply a burgeoning market. Some lands were completely cut over, spurring Carl Shurz, Secretary of the Interior, to criticize such logging practices as "wanton, barbarous, disgraceful vandalism" (Ashworth, p. 89). In other areas, only large, high-grade pines were cut, and vast amounts of slash and other debris left on the forest floor. There was no thought to the regeneration of the forest or for leaving trees to provide seed for it. In 1891 Congress passed legislation giving the President power to establish forest reserves and withdraw them from public entry. The Interior Department was given power to "monitor, manage and conserve" the forests; permits were required for tree cutting on public domain, and provisions were made for sparing some younger trees and the leaving of a few seed trees.
CSHL - History: Symposium On Quantitative Biology longtime Laboratory director and leader of the american eugenics movement set the stage for the later, pathbreaking Symposia of the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. http://www.cshl.org/History/symposium.html
Extractions: Origins The Symposium was begun in 1933 by Laboratory director Reginald Harris, son-in-law of Charles Davenport, long-time Laboratory director and leader of the American eugenics movement. Harris inherited from his father-in-law a desire to establish a quantitative biology, to move biology away from descriptive, 19th-century practices and more toward the style of other sciences like physics and chemistry. The early Symposia were relatively non-descript, but they were interdisciplinary and set the stage for the later, pathbreaking Symposia of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. In 1941 Milislav Demerec became director of the Biological Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor. A primary goal of his was to unite the Bio Lab with the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Genetics, adjacent to the Bio Lab (these two institutions, which had operated side by side since 1904, were merged at last in 1963 to become the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for Quantitative Biology). One way to do this was to focus the research of both institutions on genetics, biochemistry, and evolution, and one way to do that was to emphasize these topics in the annual Symposium. Demerec thus brought CSH Symposium into its classic period discipline-defining meetings on molecular biology.

Extractions: It's all over. Or is it? In 1938 Congress established the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives (HUAC). In 1969 its name was changed to the House Internal Security Committee, and in 1975 this group was dissolved and its records and authority transferred to the House Judiciary Committee. In 1976, the HUAC's vast files on tens of millions of "subversive' Americans were sealed in the National. Archives, not to be opened to public scrutiny for 50 years. In April 1977, that other relic of a supposedly bygone era, the Senate Internal Security Committee, was abolished, its responsibilities taken over by the Senate Judiciary Committee. An historic period had come to an end. Or had it? Many of these extremely important issues are highlighted by Robert Carl Cohen in his film COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES . The film is certainly timely and its significance today perhaps even greater than when it was produced in 1962. SYNOPSIS: COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES is the first film ever made by a private US citizen which questioned the legitimacy of a US governmental agency. As its name implied, the Committee's purpose was to investigate those organizations and individuals it deemed "un-American." The writer-director of the film uses as his focus a modern day "Everyman," an average American who wanted to understand the Committee, its purpose, its function. He watches as events spanning a quarter-century unwind. He witnesses the beginnings of the Committee under Chairman Martin Dies, the post-World War II sessions under Chairman J. Parnell Thomas, when particular attention was paid to the employment of alleged communists in Hollywood. He sees the parade of friendly and unfriendly witnesses who appeared before the Committee, of witnesses who refused to cooperate with the Committee and subsequently saw friendships destroyed, jobs lost, freedom exchanged for prison and, in some cases, even suicide.

DONNA ALLEN'S WORK WILL LIVE ON experiences as an activist and educator during the 1940s, 50s and 60s, she discovered of the extended Allen family. He teaches american history and labor http://www.womensradiofund.org/dallen.htm
Extractions: DONNA ALLEN'S WORK WILL LIVE ON by Michael Honey One of Dr. Donna Allen's strongest beliefs was in the principle that everyone should have an equal voice. From 1972 to 1987 she published the Media Report to Women, a newsletter reporting on the ways that women were creating their own media or making inroads into a media world in which money and white men typically rule the airwaves and dominate production and dissemination of the printed word. Dr. Allen also founded The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press, which continues to publish booklets and to organize programs. Donna Allen insisted that equal access to one's fellow citizens was the first principle for a democracy. Through her own experiences as an activist and educator during the 1940s, 50s and 60s, she discovered how the mass media trivialized, ignored, distorted and otherwise misinformed the public about crucial issues such as national health insurance, labor rights, and racism, sexism, and war. From the 1970s to her death at the age of 78 this summer, she dedicated her life to restructuring mass communications so that the media is no longer controlled by a wealthy few.
