There is something grossly defective about how we rank-order our presidents that ought to be blindingly obvious, yet isn’t. Remarks Prepared for “Coolidge and the American Project: The Mount Rushmore Test” (C-SPAN recorded the event, but I don’t think it has aired yet.)Ĭoolidge: Last of the Founders’ Presidents As usual I departed substantially from my prepared text here, as is my usual practice in conference settings, but I forgot to record it as I had intended for use as a podcast. Amity Shlaes, Coolidge’s best biographer, challenged me to make the case that Coolidge belongs on Mount Rushmore, which I was only too happy to accept. Since it is President’s Day, I thought I might as well post up my prepared remarks presented last Friday in Washington at the Coolidge Foundation conference that marked the centennial of Calvin Coolidge’s ascension to the White House following the death of Warren Harding.

Psychiatrists and talk therapists turned dubious theories of trauma and recovered memory into a destructive new kind of psychotherapy. Using extensive archival research conducted in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Minneapolis, and elsewhere, and drawing on dozens of interviews conducted with the hysteria's major figures, n+1 editor Richard Beck shows how a group of legislators, doctors, lawyers, and parents, most working with the best of intentions, set the stage for a cultural disaster. These crimes, social workers and prosecutors said, had gone undetected for years, and they consisted of a brutality and sadism that defied all imagining. "During the 1980s in California, New Jersey, and New York, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Ohio, and elsewhere, daycare workers were arrested, charged, tried, and convicted of committing horrible sexual crimes against the children they cared for. What in Blonde’s depiction of the relationship is true to reality? What veers into fiction? Here’s a quick explainer.Ģ022 © Netflix How did Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio get involved? In Blonde, it’s pretty much all seen as ugly: We watch Bobby Cannavale's DiMaggio abuse Ana de Armas’s Monroe both verbally and physically, belittling her when she’s already reached a mental lowpoint. But their romance, split, and later-in-life friendship has long captivated the public. With a Hollywood output as rich and productive as Monroe’s, and a private life splashed across tabloids, it can be easy to forget all about DiMaggio. She wants agency-she just can’t seem to get it. Monroe (real name: Norma Jeane Mortenson) struggles and fails to get out from under the character the rest of the world has set for her. The plot is structured around a series of cascading traumas suffered by Monroe that circle back on each other in a dizzying, sometimes powerful, sometimes mind-numbing cycle. Directed by Andrew Dominik ( Killing Them Softly), the rare NC-17-rated feature functions as a “dream film” as much about Monroe’s image as her actual life, according to Dominik. Blonde, based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, is heavily fictionalized yet assembled from a spattering of well-researched truths. Hopefully, this will be something that will be embraced by schools, libraries, medical practices, and should be an essential read for anyone with autism, or anyone affected by autism.Īnd frankly, given that we're all on the spectrum somewhere, you will, definitely, know someone affected by autism. And in that sense, Camouflage is a hugely successful thing. I guarantee that you'll finish Camouflage with a better understanding of an important issue. Which is just what Camouflage does very well, breaking down the subject with a clarity and simplicity, yet without sparing any factual details or the personal experiences of women with autism. When it comes to autism, no matter how aware we think we are, there's always more to discover. Using comics for this (and make no mistake, this is, definitely, a comic), is a perfect fit, getting factual information through to many who simply either wouldn't be able to, or more likely, wouldn't wish to, access it through plain text. As a medical comic, an educational comic, it's really well done, imparting knowledge with ease, simple, clear, effective. Autism in women and girls is still not widely understood, and is often misrepresented or even overlooked. Schwartz’s expertise clearly shines when she is analyzing the various ways that both black female slaves and white female aristocrats negotiated the man’s world of early nineteenth-century America. She succeeds a little better than might be expected given her sources, and has produced a very insightful yet readable, compelling, and fairly unbiased contribution to North American slave and women’s studies scholarship. She analyzes the lives of three out of the first four First Ladies in compartmentalized sections, interspersing her analyses of these colonial matrons with periodic Downton Abbey–style peeks into what might have been happening in the slave quarters at the time the events upstairs were going on. With this book, Schwartz attempts to “ the relationships that developed between First Ladies and their slaves” (p.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Dark Waters written by Katherine Arden which was published in. Brief Summary of Book: Dark Waters by Katherine Arden Mel Dixon, your friendly neighbourhood artist, can be seen swinging from the DeviantArt servers and smashing baddies at the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram factories. This talented artist also does custom orders and judging by her explanation that one particular picture took three weeks of work, I’m guessing that she puts the necessary effort in to produce such stunning pieces of art. Extremely intricate and mesmerising fan artwork isn’t exactly an uncommon sight to people (like myself) that spend obscene amounts of time online in search of such things, but the green-haired artist behind this table brought her amazing skills to life with some absolutely gorgeous works of art that sat before her and portrayed a variety of characters, such as Batman (or a far more dementedly appealing Joker) or Stitch (of Lilo and Stitch fame) or storm troopers (of Star Wars and not World War 2 fame). |
