Lobbyists rush to high-speed rail - Politico.com Posted: 30 Nov 2009 03:48 AM PST The U.S. High-Speed Rail Association's October conference opened like any Washington gathering. The congressmen were in the front row. A powerhouse law firm laid out prints of its lobbyists' biographies. And as the J.W. Marriott meeting room went dark, a film offered romantic visions of bullet trains in America's future. For decades, American rail buffs have coveted the sort of sleek trains that crisscross Europe and Asia at speeds of more than 180 miles per hour. But after the U.S. has spent millions of dollars studying high-speed rail, the American incarnation is but a single line that travels from Washington to Boston at an average speed of slower than 80 miles per hour. Now, though, the Obama administration is looking to change all that, starting with $8 billion in stimulus money, to be awarded starting this winter. Congress is considering adding as much as $4 billion more to next year's budget. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman, Rep. James Oberstar (D-Minn.), is talking $50 billion after that. That helps explain the U.S. High-Speed Rail Association. The group was formed in June, and the timing is no accident. High-speed rail is Washington's latest potential bonanza, and that $8 billion dollars — just for starters — is attracting a lot of attention. In fact, an examination by the Center for Public Integrity found that more than 50 public and private groups explicitly lobbied on high-speed rail policy last quarter — a threefold increase from a year ago. Even that number fails to capture dozens of other actors likely working on high-speed rail who keep their specific lobbying targets vague. New money Advocates hope that high-speed rail's future is brighter than its past, and the $8 billion that emerged from negotiations over February's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is an encouraging sign. The Senate passed $1.2 billion more for high-speed rail in the fiscal year 2010 budget, topping the $1 billion called for by the president. Meanwhile, the House blew past both numbers with a proposal for $4 billion. The final figure awaits negotiations between the two chambers. Rail backers are also jockeying for advantage in the ongoing debate over a new six-year bill guiding U.S. transportation policy that may be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. "Everybody stands to benefit," Obama argued at an April news conference after listing the reasons high-speed rail has gained traction. Airports are at capacity. Highway congestion is costing billions. Trains promote energy independence. And they offer the potential for long-term job creation and economic development. "I submit that this is our moment," former Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater said at the rail conference. The Clinton-era Cabinet member is now a partner at Washington's most prolific lobbying firm, Patton Boggs, which is already representing six of the nation's 15 largest cities and more than 40 transport-interested clients in all. Looking for a blueprint Now the fun begins. At least 34 states submitted $57 billion worth of proposals chasing that initial $8 billion. Washington has designated 10 logical high-speed rail corridors since 1991 — in addition to Amtrak's Northeast corridor — based on projected ridership, public benefit and anticipated partnerships, but it is unclear which of those areas might win funds.

St. Tudwal - Catholic Online Posted: 29 Nov 2009 11:59 PM PST Feastday: November 30 564 Welsh monk and bishop, called Pabu (Father) among the Bretons and sometimes listed as Tugdual. Originally a monk in Wales, he journeyed to Brittany, France, with his mother, sisters, and other relatives. The Celtic language of Brittany was easily understood by Welsh speakers. Tudwal's cousin, Deroc, was a king of Dumnonia and he worked to promote the faith in his cousin's domain, founding Lan Paku at Leon, Spain. He eventually became bishop of Treher (Treguier) with King Childebert I (r. 511 -558) as his patron. He is remembered in Wales in several sites in the Leyn Peninsula.

Biographies illuminate the lives of jazz giants Louis Armstrong and ... - Kansas City Star Posted: 28 Nov 2009 08:39 PM PST It's increasingly difficult today to comprehend the fame attained by Louis Armstrong, the first great soloist and superstar of jazz. Armstrong's world was not like ours: the pre-Internet engines of celebrity — radio, TV and movies — were new or did not yet exist when he made his first recordings in the late 1920s, though Armstrong eventually became a staple of all three. Plus, Armstrong was black, a fact that in itself might have made his renown impossible during the first half of the 20th century. Wall Street Journal drama critic (and former Kansas Citian) Terry Teachout's new biography of Armstrong is a mostly joyful account of the ways Armstrong's musical genius, work ethic, luck and surprising passivity at the hands of his white managers combined to make him one of America's most famous entertainers. This book, one of two big biographies of major jazz figures this season, will give newcomers to Armstrong's music, as well as curious fans, the most comprehensive and pleasurable account yet of the trumpeter's complex life and personality. Born poor in 1901 in New Orleans, Armstrong began playing coronet in brothels as a teenager to supplement the money he made delivering coal. The young Armstrong helped support his family because his father was lazy and mostly out of the picture, which instilled in the budding musician a disdain for anyone unwilling to earn his keep. Armstrong apprenticed on the back streets of New Orleans and played on Mississippi River pleasure boats. He eventually moved to Chicago to join the band of Joe "King" Oliver. Along with figures like Jelly Roll Morton, he refined the language of the "hot music" that spread across the country from New Orleans. His early Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings, made in Chicago, remain to this day a kind of Rosetta Stone of early jazz. While Teachout illustrates how some later musicians, including Dizzy Gillespie, expressed frustration with what they perceived as Armstrong's pandering to white audiences, he also quotes Miles Davis saying, "I can't even remember a time when he sounded bad playing the trumpet. Never." Teachout's Armstrong was hard-working above all things. He toured the world until, in his late 60s, heart trouble forced him to stay home in Queens with his fourth wife, Lucille. He blew his horn night after night until his chops literally bled. He was exacting about his own playing but content to let a series of corrupt white managers choose less-talented sidemen and run his career. His last manager, Joe Glaser, the engine behind Armstrong's fame, saved him from entanglements with Al Capone and other mobsters, possibly by creating further entanglements that Armstrong never knew about — "always have a White Man (who like you)" was one of Armstrong's maxims. Armstrong thought of himself as an entertainer. Despite accusations of "tomming," he said, "I have always done great things about uplifting my race." He was wildly generous, often giving money away, and also prone to unpredictable fits of rage. Teachout's vivid and accessible portrayal of Armstrong is one of the book's great pleasures: He will make a fan of the most skeptical reader. Another pleasure is the glimpse it affords of a bygone era. Armstrong's career had its ups and downs as first bebop and then rock took center stage, but it's hard not to celebrate each comeback with Teachout. Craig Morgan Teicher is a board member of the National Book Critics Circle who lives in New York. This content has passed through fivefilters.org.

Art Over Easy auction benefits School of Art and Design - The Southern Posted: 29 Nov 2009 03:35 AM PST CARBONDALE — Friday's Art Over Easy 5 auction and gala gives new meaning to the phrase "art for art's sake." More than 150 works of art and art-related items will be auctioned for the sake of the Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Art and Design. The school hopes to raise at least $30,000 to benefit the goals of the programs that teach and nurture art and design students. Funds raised will be used to match grants awarded by the Wingate Charitable Foundation for scholarships and creative research. The auction features works of art donated by a variety of artists, from current and emeritus faculty to distinguished alumni to students, school director Peter Chametzky said. "The gala also gives local artists the opportunity to have their works side by side with those of nationally known artists. We have what I think is a great collection," he said. "Virtually every medium is represented — photography, ceramics, glass, fiber, prints, drawings, metal, sculpture, woods, paint, jewelry." The gala was organized by the school's art advisory board consisting of members of the community and faculty, Tracee Norris, director of development for the College of Liberal Arts, said and is co-chaired by Larry Weatherford and Rona Kay Cradit. The event includes silent and live auctions as well as "buy it now" items, which range in price from about $20 to $100 each. "This is a little different from other auctions. It's a much more casual affair," Cradit said. "You aren't tied to tables. You can grab a glass of wine, see your friends and enjoy art. The goal is of course to raise money, but it's also about showcasing the talent of our faculty and alumni." A catalog of items to be auctioned is online along with short biographies of the contributing artists. beckymalk@gmail.com 618-927-5633 This content has passed through fivefilters.org.

St. Saturninus - Catholic Online Posted: 28 Nov 2009 11:53 PM PST Feastday: November 29 St. Saturninus Bishop of Touloise and Martyr November 29 A.D. 257     St. Saturninus went from Rome by the direction of pope Fabian, about the year 245, to preach the faith in Gaul, where St. Trophimus, the first bishop of Arles, had some time before gathered a plentiful harvest. In the year 250, when Decius and Gratus were consuls, St. Saturninus fixed his episcopal see at Toulouse. Fortunatus tells us, that he converted a great number of idolaters by his preaching and miracles. This is all the account we have of him till the time of his holy martyrdom. The author of his acts, who wrote about fifty years after his death, relates, that he assembled his flock in a small church; and that the capitol, which was the chief temple in the city, lay in the way between that church and the saint's habitation. In this temple oracles were given; but the devils were struck dumb by the presence of the saint as he passed that way. The priests spied him one day going by, and seized and dragged him into the temple. declaring that he should either appease the offended deities by offering sacrifice to them, or expiate the crime with his blood. Saturninus boldly replied: "I adore one only God, and to him I am ready to offer a sacrifice of praise. Your gods are devils, and are more delighted with the sacrifice of your souls than with those of your bullocks. How can I fear them who, as you acknowledge, tremble before a Christian?" The infidels, incensed at this reply, abused the saint with all the rage that a mad zeal could inspire, and after a great variety of indignities, tied his feet to a wild bull, which was brought thither to be sacrificed. The beast being driven from the temple, ran violently down the hill, so that the martyr's scull was broken, and his brains dashed out. His happy soul was released from the body by death, and fled to the kingdom of peace and glory, and the bull continued to drag the sacred body, and the limbs and blood were scattered on every side, till, the cord breaking, what remained of the trunk was left in the plain without the gates of the city. Two devout women laid the sacred remains on a bier, and hid them in a deep ditch, to secure them from any further insult, where they lay in "wooden coffin" till the reign of Constantine the Great. Then Hilary, bishop of Toulouse, built a small chapel over this his holy predecessor's body Sylvius, bishop of that city towards the close of the fourth century, began to build a magnificent church in honor of the martyr, which was finished and consecrated by his successor Exuperius, who, with great pomp and piety, translated the venerable relics into it. This precious treasure remains there to this day with due honor. The martyrdom of this saint probably happened m the reign of Valerian, in 257. This content has passed through fivefilters.org.

Finance workshop a real-world class for MVHS students - ReporterHerald.com Posted: 28 Nov 2009 04:55 AM PST Planning a community event like a financial literacy workshop is taking a lot more work than Mountain View High School student Ashley McPherson expected. "It's a lot of fun, but you have to think about every aspect of it," McPherson said as she worked on a flier during a recent sales and advertising class. McPherson is competing with the 14 other students in the class to come up with the best flier, which will be used to help promote the workshop "Believe in Your Financial Future" Dec. 10 in the school's auditorium. Dave Dillman, marketing instructor at Mountain View, tasked the semester-long class with organizing the workshop with the help of the Thompson School District chapters of DECA, an international business and marketing association formerly known as Distributive Education Clubs of America. Dillman's students came up with the topics for the four-hour financial literacy workshop that will include managing money, establishing credit, estate planning and financing college. The students found experts to discuss each topic. "Our goal is to get the conversation going between parents and students about these issues," Dillman said. Dillman said some parents do not talk to their children about money management, including the importance of establishing credit and using checking and savings accounts to manage money rather than relying solely on cash from paychecks and payday loans. "A lot of people could use this information," said Matt Peterson, 16, a student in Dillman's class and a second-year DECA student. "A lot of kids my age are spending money they don't have." Peterson and the other students in the class are providing all of the publicity for the event, including creating fliers and developing a direct-mail campaign to the juniors and seniors in the school district. In addition, the students are doing the event planning, such as figuring out the logistics for the workshop, setting up a speaker schedule and writing up biographies of the guest speakers. "They're learning all about the hard work that goes behind advertising and promoting an event," Dillman said. The workshops will include: • Establishing good credit — Colorado State University Extension Office. • Estate planning — Patterson Tabert Law Offices, Loveland. • Money management — First National Bank. • Saving, investing and establishing financial aid for college — College Invest, an education financing resource. © Copyright 2009 Loveland Publishing Co.

A Populist Frankenstein - Daily Beast Posted: 28 Nov 2009 05:59 AM PST X Close Getty Images (3) Mix Lou Dobbs' brain, Sarah Palin's sensual warmth, and Glenn Beck's acting skills, and you've got one scary political monster. "Who is Lou Dobbs?" As the genially malevolent talking head considers a bid for the presidency, a lot of people are asking themselves that question. It recalls another similar query, "Who is John Galt?"—a question that runs through Ayn Rand's sensationally popular 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged. Perhaps it's President Obama's increasing incapacity to seem actually engaged with his country's traumas beyond eloquently declaring his engagement, again and again, but I see failures of the liberal imagination everywhere—most recently in the way two new biographies of Rand were treated by the liberal commentariat who review books. This is too bad, because if you can't understand the popularity of Ayn Rand, you are never going to understand either the popularity of Lou Dobbs, or what seem to be Dobbs' outsized political ambitions. Dobbs and Beck are self-created, hail from humble origins, and seem to have the audacity, not just to hope for change, but to wreak it. Reviewers belittled Rand as a crackpot philosopher, or as a lousy novelist, or as a highly neurotic egoist desperately in need of some self-criticism. It would be hard to refute any of those judgments. But no one seriously considered her as a powerful mythmaker, whose archetypal tales of individual initiative and self-creation respond to the way a lot of Americans like to think of themselves. Some reviewers never even mentioned the self-made world-beater Galt. Instead, they dismissed Rand's fans as examples of arrested development or as simply unhinged, in much the same way as the political historian Richard Hofstadter attributed the fanatical conservatism of the 1950s to a bad case of status anxiety. But Rand's novels sell hundreds of thousands of copies a year, while the descendants of Hofstadter's hordes are a permanent fact of American life. The dysfunction of rage and resentment can only get you so far. There has to be something more to a populism that seems to be only getting stronger. In that sense, Rand's fiction is a "teachable" oeuvre. Dobbs and Glenn Beck, who has also been making politically ambitious noises lately, are figures that seem to have walked out of an American nightmare, which for some people is in fact the American Dream. Like Rand's John Galt, the son of a mechanic who bends the static world to his dynamic will, Dobbs and Beck are also self-created, hail from humble origins, and seem to have the audacity, not just to hope for change, but to wreak it. Like Galt, they spring from the country's gut and therefore know how to speak to it. Until now, such figures have stridden the phantasmal plains of American folklore and popular culture. Another similar character is Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes in the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd. Like Galt—a cross between Prometheus and Joe the Plumber— Rhodes is an eerily familiar precursor. A small-time television personality, he first attains popularity and power through the same type of abusive and abrasive behavior flaunted by his successors: He trashes his sponsor to the delight of the audience. Sales soar, and Rhodes is rocketed toward a political career before his hypocrisy and unrestrained appetites derail him. It's significant that both A Face in the Crowd and Atlas Shrugged came out in 1957. That was the era of the advent of television, and both Rand and Budd Schulberg—who wrote the film—were inspired by the new medium's power to shape mass opinion. How much more powerful are our mass media now! Cable, combined with radical advances in permissiveness, and with the exponential amplifications of the Internet, is a demagogue's dream. With the dawn of our digital age, the demagogues of American folklore have become the real bugbears of American society. The reviewers denounced Rand the novelist for her one-dimensional characters, but she knew what she was about. One-dimensionality is the key to myth; mythic characters are strangers whom, when we encounter them, we feel we have always known. In other words, mythic characters are celebrities. Rand was aware of this phenomenon, and so was Schulberg, who portrays Rhodes with an electric simplicity that makes him a kind of pre-celebrity before he is discovered. Both writers knew that celebrity—which provokes a feeling of intimacy with someone you don't and never will know as a person—was the new prerequisite to political success.

Encounter with evil influenced work - Cincinnati.com Posted: 27 Nov 2009 03:51 AM PST Twenty-five years have come and gone since Anita Vizedom passed up a chance to bake Christmas cookies with her cousins. That decision saved her life. And sent her on a lifelong quest for justice. Vizedom's tenacious work over the last eight years as an assistant Hamilton County prosecutor has earned her a well-deserved, award-winning reputation as a voice for victims of violent crime. She has no qualms about speaking out in court and calling criminals "wicked." "Someone needs to speak on behalf of the victims and their families," she said during a rare relaxed moment in her office. "They never deserved what happened to them. They are truly innocent." That description fits her family. An encounter with evil changed her loved ones' lives forever a quarter century ago on the day after Thanksgiving. Late that night, a former boarder by the name of Rhett DePew - "I don't like to call him a person," Vizedom declared - broke into her cousins' small Butler County home. He stabbed three of them to death and set the house on fire. "I remember my mom getting the call at our house in Hanover Township and me running down to the basement to get my sister," Vizedom said. "She was listening to music." She still remembers the tune. It was Elton John's "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues." On their way to the hospital, Vizedom and her family passed her cousins' house. "It was," she recalled with a shiver, "still on fire." Among the dead that night were her 27-year-old cousin, Theresa Jones, and Jones' seven-year-old daughter, Aubrey. The fire and the knife wounds also claimed the life of 12-year-old Elizabeth Burton. Beth, as the future prosecutor called her younger cousin, was 12. Vizedom was 13. "We were close," Vizedom said. And not just in age. They played on the same softball team and attended the same junior high. They had the same hair color. They looked like sisters. Even down to the matching cowlicks. The killer - whose death sentence was overturned and changed to life imprisonment in 2005 - spared Jones' younger daughter, Megan. That night, she had just celebrated her first birthday. The murders "caused a humongous ripple effect that's still being felt throughout our entire family," Vizedom said. "There is no healing. There is no closure. This is not something you can ever get over." The tragedy changed her forever. Encountering "real, absolute evil in the world" robbed her of her innocence. "It still amazes me," she noted, "some people think there's no such thing as evil or something like this can't happen." The University of Cincinnati Law School graduate carries these thoughts, feelings and memories with her, along with criminals' bulging case files, as she strides into court. "She really wants to get the bad guys," said Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Robert Ruehlman. "She's one of our best," said her boss, Prosecutor Joe Deters. "She's passionate about victims," said Common Pleas Judge Charles Kubicki Jr., "without letting that get in the way of her professionalism so the guilty get punished." Her passion won one of this year's four Hope in Heels awards. The honor, to be presented Dec. 4 by five members of the Monfort Heights-based Besse family, recognizes advocates for victims of violent crimes. "This tall," - Vizedom stands five feet, eight inches - "thin woman is so beautiful, she could be a model," remarked Marie Besse, the award's founder. "But, in the courtroom, she's a tenacious bulldog." Vizedom's tenacity in the case of Michael Williamson won her the award. Williamson raped three girls, ages 10, 12 and 13, over three years. He did so, his attorney claimed, to keep the girls away from their "out of control" mother. That claim enraged Vizedom. In court, she called Williamson's actions "absolutely disgusting, nauseating." Behind the scenes, she regularly visited the three victims at their foster home. She saw to it that the traumatized young women would not have to testify. She also saw to it that Williamson got a sentence of 80 years to life. Vizedom, 38, said she was "just doing the job I love." The award comes with a $1,000 prize. Vizedom, a Cheviot resident, plans to donate the money to care for the city's first police dog, Charlie. "I love animals," said Vizedom, the owner of a hound named Piggy. But, she hates bad guys. Especially murderers. "There is so much fascination with killers," she said, wincing as if she'd just bitten into a rotten tomato. "Biographies are written about them. But, you don't need to read those books," she added, slashing the air with her right index finger. "Here's all you need to know about these guys: They're bad. They're evil. And, they need to be taken out of society. That's it." She finds society's "sick fascination" with killers "appalling. You never see biographies about victims or their families." And she never sees fright flicks on the big screen. "I've never been to a horror movie," she said. "If I'm in another room and the TV is on and a commercial for one of those movies comes on, I hold my hands over my ears until it's over. I have no idea why it's entertaining to see people in fear of being murdered. I don't want to hear the screams." She paused and lowered her voice. "Because," she whispered, "I'm sure there were screams that night." She knows her cousin Beth fought back. "From what little I've read of the reports - and it never will be a lot - I know she had lots of defensive wounds. "That's not surprising," Vizedom added. "I knew Beth. She would have done everything she could to help herself as well as her sister and her sister's children that night." Again and again she revisits "that night" when she was supposed to be with her cousins baking cookies for Christmas. That family tradition, so sweet and so innocent, so filled with fun and happy memories, ended with the lives of her three cousins. "We still mark that day," Vizedom said. But the new tradition is based on sadness. "Here's what I do," she said. "I get depressed." But not for long. Vizedom refuses to dwell on the tragedy. "I finally have in my mind a vision of their lives," she said, rather than their deaths. In her dreams, her cousins "are alive. I talk about them and to them. "In some way," she added, "I still have a relationship with Beth. I have her picture up in my house." She thinks about her cousin as a grown woman of 37. She wonders what clothes she would be wearing. What color would her hair be? Would she be married? Would she have kids? "Would she still have this cowlick?" she asked tugging at a wayward lock. Beth and her other cousins are with Vizedom in court. As she gets ready to question a piece of evil on the witness stand, she quickly glances over her shoulder to catch a glimpse of the victim's family. For a split second, she can sense the spirit of her cousin. Vizedom never said they've talked about the job she's doing. But, you can bet, Beth would be proud.

A Populist Frankenstein - Daily Beast Posted: 27 Nov 2009 06:00 AM PST X Close Getty Images (3) Mix Lou Dobbs' brain, Sarah Palin's sensual warmth, and Glenn Beck's acting skills, and you've got one scary political monster. "Who is Lou Dobbs?" As the genially malevolent talking head considers a bid for the presidency, a lot of people are asking themselves that question. It recalls another similar query, "Who is John Galt?"—a question that runs through Ayn Rand's sensationally popular 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged. Perhaps it's President Obama's increasing incapacity to seem actually engaged with his country's traumas beyond eloquently declaring his engagement, again and again, but I see failures of the liberal imagination everywhere—most recently in the way two new biographies of Rand were treated by the liberal commentariat who review books. This is too bad, because if you can't understand the popularity of Ayn Rand, you are never going to understand either the popularity of Lou Dobbs, or what seem to be Dobbs' outsized political ambitions. Dobbs and Beck are self-created, hail from humble origins, and seem to have the audacity, not just to hope for change, but to wreak it. Reviewers belittled Rand as a crackpot philosopher, or as a lousy novelist, or as a highly neurotic egoist desperately in need of some self-criticism. It would be hard to refute any of those judgments. But no one seriously considered her as a powerful mythmaker, whose archetypal tales of individual initiative and self-creation respond to the way a lot of Americans like to think of themselves. Some reviewers never even mentioned the self-made world-beater Galt. Instead, they dismissed Rand's fans as examples of arrested development or as simply unhinged, in much the same way as the political historian Richard Hofstadter attributed the fanatical conservatism of the 1950s to a bad case of status anxiety. But Rand's novels sell hundreds of thousands of copies a year, while the descendants of Hofstadter's hordes are a permanent fact of American life. The dysfunction of rage and resentment can only get you so far. There has to be something more to a populism that seems to be only getting stronger. In that sense, Rand's fiction is a "teachable" oeuvre. Dobbs and Glenn Beck, who has also been making politically ambitious noises lately, are figures that seem to have walked out of an American nightmare, which for some people is in fact the American Dream. Like Rand's John Galt, the son of a mechanic who bends the static world to his dynamic will, Dobbs and Beck are also self-created, hail from humble origins, and seem to have the audacity, not just to hope for change, but to wreak it. Like Galt, they spring from the country's gut and therefore know how to speak to it. Until now, such figures have stridden the phantasmal plains of American folklore and popular culture. Another similar character is Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes in the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd. Like Galt—a cross between Prometheus and Joe the Plumber— Rhodes is an eerily familiar precursor. A small-time television personality, he first attains popularity and power through the same type of abusive and abrasive behavior flaunted by his successors: He trashes his sponsor to the delight of the audience. Sales soar, and Rhodes is rocketed toward a political career before his hypocrisy and unrestrained appetites derail him. It's significant that both A Face in the Crowd and Atlas Shrugged came out in 1957. That was the era of the advent of television, and both Rand and Budd Schulberg—who wrote the film—were inspired by the new medium's power to shape mass opinion. How much more powerful are our mass media now! Cable, combined with radical advances in permissiveness, and with the exponential amplifications of the Internet, is a demagogue's dream. With the dawn of our digital age, the demagogues of American folklore have become the real bugbears of American society. The reviewers denounced Rand the novelist for her one-dimensional characters, but she knew what she was about. One-dimensionality is the key to myth; mythic characters are strangers whom, when we encounter them, we feel we have always known. In other words, mythic characters are celebrities. Rand was aware of this phenomenon, and so was Schulberg, who portrays Rhodes with an electric simplicity that makes him a kind of pre-celebrity before he is discovered. Both writers knew that celebrity—which provokes a feeling of intimacy with someone you don't and never will know as a person—was the new prerequisite to political success.

Veterans get first crack at new digital audio books - Great Falls Tribune Posted: 26 Nov 2009 04:43 AM PST When Carter Williams started losing his eyesight more than 15 years ago, he discovered a new federal program to help him savor his love of reading. The Montana Talking Book Library, which provides its patrons, generally individuals with visual impairments, with audio versions of about 40,000 books in every genre, on Wednesday rolled out a digital player system that eventually will be the primary format of audio books through the talking library. Williams, a World War II Air Force/Army Air Corps veteran, was one of the first four recipients of a new player in Great Falls and already has read 3,727 audio books using the cassette player system. He and three other local veterans received a tutorial on how to use the new player at the Great Falls Public Library on Wednesday. Christie Briggs, the regional librarian for the Montana Talking Book Library, said computer skills aren't required for the transition. The new system is a lightweight unit with distinctive controls and foolproof cartridge insertion methods. Lee Madison, who is the lending agent for the state's talking library, said extensive research went into determining the most feasible method for upgrading the cassette format, and the cartridge that operates as a flash drive was both economical and resilient. Madison said the program "gives (the visually impaired) an open-door opportunity to read again." "It gives them something to pass the long winter months," he said. "With my bad eyesight ... these talking books make my life," said Williams. "I've been reading my whole life." Williams, who enjoys biographies and sports stories, said he's never wanted a book that was not available. His favorites include biographies of Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson, as well as anything historical about the U.S.'s founding fathers. What isn't in the state's collection, he said, can be found through the Library of Congress' 140,000-book inventory. Williams wrote an autobiography after his 1997 retirement, "My Memories of the 20th Century," that is currently available in cassette format. He expects his book to be available digitally in about three years This content has passed through fivefilters.org.
