    Biography of Richard Ford
    by Brandon Patton (SHS) Richard Ford, a Mississippi writer who in 1996 won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature for Independence Day , was born in Jackson, Mississippi, on February 16, 1944. While growing up, Richard went to Davis Elementary, the same elementary school Eudora Welty attended. He even had some of the same teachers! Interestingly, he also lived across the street from Eudora! Richard graduated from high school in Mississippi , then went on to get his B. A. from Michigan State University and his M. F. A. from the University of California. Ford wrote short stories for Esquire The Paris Review , and The New Yorker before completing his first novel

Richard Franklin with John Ford filmography bibliography articles in Senses web resources
I read Senses of Cinema 's call for contributions on "Great Directors" with interest. Among the list of directors to be profiled were Cox (Paul) and Cronenberg (David), both of whom I've met. But among the list of those for whom you were looking for "expressions of interest" I noted Ford (John), who I am delighted to say I also met and who is quite simply the greatest director of all time. Why did Cronenberg and Cox (contemporaries of my own) get a look in before the man who Ingmar Bergman called the greatest director who ever lived? Why is Ford's work seldom studied, when that of say Hitchcock is dissected in film class after film class? Because the great, great, great John Ford made so many films (and so many great films) his canon is virtually unassailable. I repeat myself in keeping with Orson Welles who after viewing Stagecoach (1939) 40 times before embarking on Citizen Kane (1941) said he was influenced by the old guys; the "classical" film makers, by which he meant "John Ford, John Ford and John Ford". If the pantheon of classical music is "the three Bs" (Bach, Beethoven and Brahms), then it is arguable there is only one true great in cinema - and that's the man who won more Academy Awards (five) than anyone before or since.

Richard Ford
Richard Ford was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1944, the only child of a traveling salesman for a starch company, and was raised in Mississippi and in Arkansas. He went to college at Michigan State University, where he met Kristina Hensley, to whom he has been married since 1968. Ford attended law school very briefly before entering the University of California at Irvine, where he received his M.F.A. in writing in 1970.
After publishing two novels, A Piece of My Heart (1976) and The Ultimate Good Luck (1981), Ford took a job writing for Inside Sports magazine. When the magazine was sold, he decided to write a book about a sportswriter; the resulting novel, published in 1986, received widespread acclaim: it was named one of five best books of 1986 by Time magazine. The Sportswriter was followed by Rock Springs (1987), a highly praised book of short stories, and in 1990 by a novel set in Great Falls, Montana, called Wildlife . His most recent novel, Independence Day , won the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction, the first novel ever to win both awards.
In addition to his steady production of fiction, Ford has also taught writing and literature at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, at Princeton University, and at Williams College.

Richard Ford
By SOPHIE MAJESKI Illustration by Zach Trenholm R ichard Ford, whose novel "Independence Day" was the first ever to win both the Pulitzer Prize and the Pen/Faulkner Award and had just about every critic in America breathing words like "mastery," "genius" and "tour de force," once told an interviewer that "writing is the only thing I've ever done with persistence, except for being married." Much has been made of his habit of moving around his most recent home is on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, where his wife of 28 years, Kristina, is executive director of the city planning commission and "Independence Day" plays beautifully with the idea of impermanence. The novel is the sequel to Ford's highly acclaimed "The Sportswriter," which was the story of a man named Frank Bascombe who, devastated by the death of his young son, dropped quietly out of his own life. In "Independence Day," Frank Bascombe more or less returns, moving into his ex-wife's old house, settling permanently after a fling in France with a woman some 20 years his junior into the suburbs to reconnect with his family and to sell real estate, which becomes for Bascombe a heady metaphor for the nature of attachment. He has moved into what he calls his "Existence Period," a tenuous equilibrium that seems to depend on keeping people and his own feelings at a comfortable remove. Over lunch in San Francisco at the beginning of a 15-city tour to promote the Vintage paperback edition of "Independence Day," Ford says that he personally prefers the sometimes disastrous habit of feeling to Bascombe's more defensive strategy. Attractive, intensely engaging, very funny, all soft Southern charm he was born in 1944 in Mississippi Ford asks for a quiet table, thinking of the tape recorder, and though he eloquently and cordially answers every question, no matter how personal or banal, he asks polite and probing questions of his own, including the first question of the interview.

      Ford, Richard Ford, Richard, The Sportswriter (1986), a widely acclaimed novel that is still his best known. It is a first-person account of a weekend in the life of novelist-turned-sportswriter Frank Bascombe, a tough-minded yet thoughtful, alienated yet acutely observant character whose reflections on his own life reveal much about contemporary America. Bascombe reappears in a sequel, Independence Day (1995, Pulitzer Prize). Ford's other novels include A Piece of My Heart The Ultimate Good Luck (1981), and Wildlife (1990). He has also written numerous short stories, many dealing with life in the rural West and collected in Rock Springs (1987), the three novellas of Women with Men (1997), and later stories focused on marital infidelity in the collection A Multitude of Sins (2002). His works also include essays, a play (1983), and a screenplay (1991), and he has edited several short-story anthologies.

    President Gerald R. Ford's Proclamation 4311, Granting a Pardon to Richard Nixon
    September 8, 1974 By the President of the United States of America a Proclamation Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his resignation on August 9, 1974. Pursuant to resolutions of the House of Representatives, its Committee on the Judiciary conducted an inquiry and investigation on the impeachment of the President extending over more than eight months. The hearings of the Committee and its deliberations, which received wide national publicity over television, radio, and in printed media, resulted in votes adverse to Richard Nixon on recommended Articles of Impeachment. As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States. Whether or not he shall be so prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and on the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. Should an indictment ensue, the accused shall then be entitled to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed to every individual by the Constitution. It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.

    TRANSCRIPT
    Elizabeth Farnsworth discusses Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Independence Day , with its author Richard Ford. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: In fact, the winner of this year's Pulitzer for fiction has pulled off a double coup. Just yesterday, he learned that his novel Independence Day also won the Penn Faulkner award. The author is Richard Ford, who also wrote the Sports Writer and Rock Springs, among other books. He joins us now in New Orleans. Welcome and congratulations. RICHARD FORD, Author: (New Orleans) Thank you, Ms. Farnsworth. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: What's it like to win a Pulitzer Prize and a Penn Faulkner award? RICHARD FORD: Well, you mean, after I got over the presumption that they'd called the wrong guy? ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Right. RICHARD FORD: Well, it was a thrill actually. I, I was surprised. The Pulitzer Committee had never called me before, so I was sort of caught unexpectedly. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The novel, your novel, Independence Day, is set during the Fourth of July weekend. RICHARD FORD: Right.
