"‘Zanzibar’ is Paramount’s second coupling of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour following their successful teaming in ‘Road to Singapore’.
Although picture has sufficient comedy situations and dialog between its male stars to get over with general audiences in regular runs, it lacks the compactness and spontaneity of its predecessor...The story framework is pretty flimsy foundation for hanging the series of comedy and thrill situations concocted for the pair.It’s a fluffy and inconsequential tale, with Crosby-Hope combo, through their individual and collective efforts, doing valiant work to keep up interest...Comedy episodes generally lack sparkle and tempo of ‘Singapore’, and musical numbers are also below par for a Crosby picture.
Bing sings two, ‘It’s Always You’ the best candidate..." All lyrics by Johnny Burke, and music by Jimmy Van Heusen Bing Crosby recorded a number of the songs for Decca Records.Crosby's songs were also included in the Bing's Hollywood series.The film's copyright was renewed in a timely manner by the company which had acquired it.
Originally registered for copyright as LP10409 with a declared publication date of April 11, 1941, the continuation of copyright was contingent upon renewal between the 27th and 28th anniversaries of that date.Renewal occurred April 18, 1968, number R434268.While the film opened in New York on April 9, 1941, the renewal is still timely even if the earlier date were considered publication date.
Renewal was filed by EMKA, Ltd., which acquired Paramount's classic pre-1950 library in 1957.Today, EMKA is part of NBC Universal Television Distribution, and Universal Studios is now the theatrical and home video distributor.The copyright is now scheduled to run until 95 years after the publication date (2036).
Chic Harley Charles Wesley "Chic" Harley (September 15, 1894 – April 21, 1974) was one of the outstanding American football players of the first half of the 20th century and the player who first brought Ohio State University's football program to national attention.Harley was Ohio State's first consensus first-team All-America selection and first three-time All-America selection.
In 1951, he became a charter inductee in the College Football Hall of Fame.In 1941, James Thurber described Harley's running skills for the New York City newspaper, "PM", "If you never saw him run with a football, I can't describe it to you.It wasn't like Red Grange or Tom Harmon or anybody else.
It was kind of a cross between music and cannon fire, and it brought your heart up under your ears.
"Charles Harley was born in Chicago, Illinois, hence the source of the nickname Chic, but his family moved to Columbus, Ohio when he was 12 years old.There Harley attended East High School.
The family was to return to Chicago just before Harley's senior year, but the Columbus East principal convinced the family to let Harley stay for his final year.In his career at East High School, Harley's team lost only one game, his last.Harley was recruited to attend Ohio State by the university's chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, the fraternity he joined upon his arrival on campus.
Harley began his career with the Ohio State Buckeyes in 1916.He led the team to a 7–0 record and their first Big Ten Conference championship.The team scored 258 points in seven games and giving up only 29.
The key games of the season were a 7–6 victory over the University of Illinois and a 14–13 victory over the University of Wisconsin–Madison, teams that were at the time the conference's dominant powers.In both games, the margin of victory was a point after touchdown kicked by Harley.Following the season, Harley was named as a consensus first-team All-America selection, including a spot on Walter Camp's authoritative list.
The Buckeyes repeated as conference champion in 1917 with an 8–0–1 record, and Harley repeated as a consensus first-team All-American.In 1918, Harley left school to be a pilot in the United States Army Air Service during World War I, but he returned the following year.In 1919, the Buckeyes finished 6–1.
In Harley's only career loss, the team lost the conference title to the University of Illinois on a field goal with eight seconds left in the season finale.The 1919 season is most remembered at Ohio State, however, for recording the school's first victory over arch-rival Michigan.Following the Buckeyes' 13-3 win, legendary Michigan head coach Fielding H. Yost asked for and was granted a rare moment to address the Ohio State team.
"You deserve your victory, you fought brilliantly," Yost began.
"You boys gave a grand exhibition of football strategy and while I am sorry, dreadfully sorry, that we lost, I want to congratulate you.And you, Mr. Harley, I believe, are one of the finest little machines I have ever seen."
Coach Yost was not alone in his praise.Harley was again a consensus first-team All-American in 1919 and became the first three-time All-America selection at Ohio State.The Buckeyes now have eight three-time All-Americans in their 120-plus years of college football, but none more impactful than their first.
Throughout his Ohio State career, Harley played right halfback on offense and safety on defense, and was also the team's punter and place kicker.He scored 201 points in a 23-game career.This total was the school's individual scoring record until Harley was surpassed by Howard "Hopalong" Cassady in 1955.
Harley's 8.74 points per game remains a school record.Harley also holds the team record for interceptions in a game
The other first-team halfback was Jim Thorpe.Red Grange was voted to the second team.When asked to explain his vote, one writer said, "Red Grange was a great runner, but that's all he was.
Chic Harley was a great runner, a great passer, a great kicker and a great defensive back.That's why he's on my first-team.
"In 1951 Harley was one of 44 players and coaches selected as the charter members of the College Football Hall of Fame.
In Harley's era, the Buckeyes played in Ohio Field, which had a seating capacity of no more than 20,000.Harley so excited the fans of Ohio State football that he inspired a $1.3 million funding drive, starting in 1920, to build the massive Ohio Stadium.For this reason Ohio Stadium, where the Buckeyes still play, is sometimes called "The House That Harley Built".
In addition to his football exploits, Harley also lettered in baseball, basketball, and track.He was an outfielder in baseball, a guard in basketball, and a sprinter in track.Harley was a member of the 1917 Big Ten baseball championship team.
On the track field, Harley set a conference record in the 50-yard dash.Following his college playing career, Harley was contacted by George Halas to play for the NFL team Halas was organizing, a team that would ultimately become the Chicago Bears.Harley's brother, Bill Harley, negotiated a contract that was to give Chic Harley one-third ownership of the team.
However, that contract was voided when a physical revealed health impairments resultant from Harley's time in the war.At the time he was diagnosed with Dementia praecox, a chronic, deteriorating psychotic disorder characterized by rapid cognitive disintegration, usually beginning in the late teens or early adulthood.
"Harley ultimately became hospitalized at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Danville, Illinois, where he was a patient for the remainder of his life.
Harley returned to Columbus in 1949 for a tribute at Ohio Stadium.The Ohio State University Marching Band adapted their famous "Script Ohio" formation to spell out the name "Chic.
"By 2009 that performance remained the only time that the formation has been altered.
Harley died of pneumonia in 1974 at the age of 79.His pallbearers were the five Ohio State football captains at the time; Archie Griffin, Arnie Jones, Steve Myers, Neal Colzie, Pete Cuzick and tackle Kurt Schumacher.Chic's final resting place is located at Union Cemetery along the Olentangy River, about two miles north of The Ohio State University campus.
Harley was among the first induction class of the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame in 1977.Ohio State began honoring players by retiring their numbers in 1999.Jersey numbers were more fluid in Harley's era, changing from game to game, but the University decided to honor Harley by retiring the final number he wore for Ohio State, #47.
The ceremony was held at halftime of a game with Penn State on October 30, 2004.Ironically, that number was worn by Harley in the only collegiate game he lost.Many believe it would have been more appropriate to retire #10, which was the number Harley wore while defeating Michigan.

Their acapella blend has resulted in multiple contemporary recording awards, NACA (National Association of Collegiate Activities) Entertainer of the Year nominations, considerable national press, and has landed their music among the best selling seasonal DVD's at Wal-Mart.Tonic Sol-fa has established itself not only as an in-demand vocal group in the Midwest, but also as a successful independent act in America.In addition to substantial CD sales of its own independent releases (2,000,000 copies sold), the group has toured festivals and private shows extensively throughout the US and abroad, leading to numerous sold-out tours of theaters and small arenas.
In 2010, Tonic Sol-fa released their third television holiday special, which aired over 1800 times in forty-seven states and Canada.This special was shown on PBS through 2015.In 2017, former band member Mark Thomas McGowan was convicted of felony theft for embezzling $27,154 from Tonic Sol-Fa between January 2010 and December 2014.

David Galula David Galula (1919–1967) was a French military officer and scholar who was influential in developing the theory and practice of counterinsurgency warfare.Born in Sfax, then part of the French protectorate of Tunisia, on 10 January 1919 into a family of Jewish merchants, Galula obtained his baccalauréat in Casablanca at the Lycée Lyautey.
In 1949, Galula married Ruth Beed Morgan (1922-2011).He is survived by his only son Daniel Frederic Galula, his wife Claudia Elena and his grandchildren, David Salvador Galula and Danielle Sophia Galula.Galula graduated from the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr in the number 126 promotion of 1939-1940.
In 1941, he was expelled from the French officer corps, in accordance with the Statute on Jews of the Vichy State.After living as a civilian in North Africa, he joined the I Corps of the Army of the Liberation, and served during the liberation of France, receiving a wound during the invasion of Elba in June 1944.Galula departed for China in 1945 to work as an assistant military attaché at the French embassy in Beijing.
There he continued his warm relationship with Jacques Guillermaz, an officer from an old French military family with whom he had served in France.Galula's wife recalled that her husband went to China to follow Guillermaz, who was, "without a doubt, the most influential person in David's life.
"Galula witnessed the rise to power of the Chinese Communist Party.
In April 1947, he was captured by Chinese Communists during a solo trip into the interior.Though he was fiercely anti-Communist, his captors treated him well and he eventually was released through the help of the Marshall mission.In 1948, he took part in the United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans (UNSCOB) during the Greek Civil War.
From 1952 to February 1956, he served as a military attaché at the French consulate in Hong Kong.He visited the Philippines, and studied the Indochina War without taking part in it.From August 1956 to April 1958, during the Algerian War, Galula, then a captain, led the 3rd Company of the 45th Bataillon d'Infanterie Coloniale.
He distinguished himself by applying personal tactics in counterinsurgency to his sector of Kabylie, at Djebel Mimoun, near Tigzirt, effectively eliminating the nationalist insurgency in his sector and earning accelerated promotion from this point.In 1958, Galula was transferred to the Headquarters of National Defence in Paris.He gave a series of conferences abroad and attended the Armed Forces Staff College.
Galula resigned his commission in 1962 to study in the United States, where he obtained a position of research associate at the Center for International Affairs of Harvard University.He died in 1967 of lung cancer.Galula described his experiences in two books, "Pacification in Algeria", published by the RAND Corporation in 1963, and "Counterinsurgency Warfare
His books analyse his experiences in Indochina, Greece and Algeria, giving a taxonomy of favourable and unfavourable settings for a revolutionary war from the point of view of both the revolutionary (insurgent) and loyalist (counterinsurgent) forces.Galula cites Mao Zedong's observation that "[R]evolutionary war is 80 percent political action and only 20 percent military", and proposes four "laws" for counterinsurgency
... A victory is that plus the permanent isolation of the insurgent from the population, isolation not enforced upon the population, but maintained by and with the population....In conventional warfare, strength is assessed according to military or other tangible criteria, such as the number of divisions, the position they hold, the industrial resources, etc.
In revolutionary warfare, strength must be assessed by the extent of support from the population as measured in terms of political organization at the grass roots.The counterinsurgent reaches a position of strength when his power is embedded in a political organization issuing from, and firmly supported by, the population.With his four principles in mind, Galula goes on to describe a general military and political strategy to put them into operation in an area that is under full insurgent control
Concentrate enough armed forces to destroy or to expel the main body of armed insurgents.2.Detach for the area sufficient troops to oppose an insurgent's comeback in strength, install these troops in the hamlets, villages, and towns where the population lives.
3.Establish contact with the population, control its movements in order to cut off its links with the guerillas.4.
Destroy the local insurgent political organization.5.Set up, by means of elections, new provisional local authorities.
6.Test those authorities by assigning them various concrete tasks.Replace the softs and the incompetents, give full support to the active leaders.
Organize self-defense units.7.Group and educate the leaders in a national political movement.
8.Win over or suppress the last insurgent remnants.Some of these steps can be skipped in areas that are only partially under insurgent control, and most of them are unnecessary in areas already controlled by the government.
Thus the essence of counterinsurgency warfare is summed up by Galula as "Build (or rebuild) a political machine from the population upward.
"Galula has been considered an important theorist by contemporary defence experts.Notably, the United States military used his experiences as examples in the context of the Iraq War and he is often quoted in the US Army's "Counterinsurgency Manual".
Galula's "Counterinsurgency Warfare
