Bix Beiderbecke and Some of His Friends
Authors: Sudhalter Richard M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Beiderbecke is one of the most ardently, tirelessly documented of all early jazz figures. Philip R. Evans, in researching Bix: Man and Legend, seemed determined to account for every day in his subject’s brief life and came remarkably close to achieving his goal. Such diverse writers as Otis Ferguson, Benny Green, Charles Wareing, Max Harrison, Burnett James, Humphrey Lyttelton, Gunther Schuller, and even, in rather different ways, Eddie Condon and Mezz Mezzrow (or their literary “ghosts”) have captured aspects of him in print.
Jack Purvis
Authors: Sudhalter Richard M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
He was tall, maybe about six feet. Stocky. Nice looking, if running a bit to fat. He had come up to the stand after a set and introduced himself to cornetist Jim Goodwin. “My name,” he said, “is Jack Purvis.” Goodwin knew some jazz history. He knew Jack Purvis by reputation as a brilliant, often wayward trumpet player whose adventures off the bandstand were almost as legendary as his daredevil solos.
Artie Shaw (2): Time and Change
Authors: Sudhalter Richard M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In late spring of 1944 the word went out: Artie Shaw was back in circulation and thinking of putting together a band. Shaw? No kidding. Last anyone had heard he was off somewhere in the Pacific, leading a U.S. Navy band called the Rangers. He’d had Maxie Kaminsky, Johnny Best, and a couple of other guys from his civilian bands; Claude Thornhill and two sidemen from his last prewar band-Tasso Harris on trombone and the amazing young lead trumpeter Conrad Gazzo; the extraordinary young tenor saxophonist Sam Donahue, who’d been leading his own civilian band. And, through some miracle of bureaucratic chicanery, he’d gotten Dave Tough, who all but defined the term “4-F.”
Bobby Hackett: Making It Sing
Authors: Sudhalter Richard M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Fellow-musicians still talk about the time Bobby Hackett was trying to sell one of his many cornets to a friend. “It’s been played a bit,” he said with real earnestness, “but the high register”-(here a small chuckle)-”that’s unused, brand-new.” That was his way-wry, a little self-deprecating-of reminding people that he didn’t often use his instrument’s extremes of register, either upper or lower, preferring to work in its vocal middle range. Anyone who knew Bobby even slightly will recognize the humor, as characteristic of the man as the sound of his horn on hundreds, even thousands, of records, over four decades.
Red Norvo and Mildred Bailey (2): Mr. and Mrs. Swing
Authors: Sudhalter Richard M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To hear Red Norvo tell it, he never had the slightest intention of leading his own band. “I didn’t want to be a leader,” he has insisted. “Never thought of myself that way; never had the slightest aspiration in that direction.” One of Norvo’s many endearing traits, however, is a practical nature. “I did realize,” he is wont to add, “that [leading a band] was a means for me to play what I wanted to play. To do things the way I wanted to do them. “So,” he says with a characteristic shrug, “I did it.”
Combining Lasers with Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry: Applications to the Study of Gas-Phase Metal Ion Chemistry
Authors: Weller Robert R , Macmahon Timothy J , Freiser Ben S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
With the development of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR or FTMS) and the greater diversity and availability of lasers, a broad frontier of chemistry has opened. These two instruments are ideally suited for coupling. The FT-ICR with its high sensitivity and the ability to acquire a complete, high-resolution mass spectrum from a single laser pulse makes it a method of choice for laser desorption (LD) mass spectrometry. Also, the ability of the FT­ICR to store ions for long periods of time, along with the high flux densities available in continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed lasers, makes it ideal for the study of single and multiphoton/ion interactions.
Technology Transfer and Economic Growth: A Historical Perspective on Current Developments
Authors: Aggarwal Raj 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In recent years, U.S. and Western European business and industry have been battered by increasingly intense international competition. Western companies in traditional manufacturing industries, such as automobiles, steel, and textiles, seem particularly threatened. Now a new source of competition is emerging-a source with which even the Japanese find difficult to compete successfully in some industries.
The Development/Manufacturing Interface: Empirical Analysis Of The 1990 European Manufacturing Futures Survey
Authors: Meyer Arnoud De 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Competitive pressures force companies to improve the management of the interface between development and manufacturing so that they can shorten the time between product concept and market launch. Indeed, a delay in the introduction of a new product can significantly shorten the period during which the company can market the product, since the time of the withdrawal of the product is often determined by market factors beyond the influence of the company. As a consequence, a delayed market introduction can have a strong negative effect on the overall profitability of an innovation project.
Bodily Bonds: The Intersecting Rhetorics of Feminism and Abolition
Authors: Sanchez-Eppler Karen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As Lydia Maria Child tells it in 1836, the story of the woman and the story of the slave are the same story: I have been told of a young physician who went into the far Southern states to settle, and there became in love with a very handsome and modest girl who lived in service. He married her; and about a year after the event a gentleman called at the house and announced himself as Mr. J. of Mobile. He said to Dr. W., “Sir, I have a trifling affair of business to settle with you. You have married a slave of mine.” The young physician resented the language; for he had not entertained the slightest suspicion that the girl had any other than white ancestors since the flood. But Mr. J. furnished proofs of his claim.
How Not To Decipher the Indus Valley Inscriptions
Authors: Bright William 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of the great unsolved problems of Indian history is the decipherment of the inscriptions from the ancient civilizations of the Indus Valley. The topic has been of special interest to Dravidianists because there seem to be two good arguments for the hypothesis that the Indus Valley language was an early form of Dravidian: first, the presence in modem times of Brahui, a Dravidian language, in Baluchistan, just west of the Indus Valley; and second, the fact that lexical and phonological loans from Dravidian existed in the earliest forms of Sanskrit, presumably reflecting language contact at the time when lndo Aryan speakers first entered the Indian subcontinent by way of the Indus Valley. However, conclusive proof for this position has not yet been found, and alternative hypotheses continue to be put forward.
Toddler
Authors: Barnouw Erik 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The excitement that exploded in 1920 was a nationwide eruption, but activities in Pittsburgh were especially decisive. For the Westinghouse company, the halt in war production had created a bleak outlook. As government contracts for transmitters, receivers, and vacuum rubes ended, the company searched for ways to use its idled production equipment, but for a time found none. When its rival GE, by forming RCA, seemed set to take a dominant role in international communication, Westinghouse was not at first included in the venture. One Westinghouse researcher, Vladimir K. Zworykin, who had been a communication specialist in the Czarist army and had participated in television experiments in Russia, asked for permission to pursue these. Permission was given, but with reluctance; financial returns seemed remote.
Insecticide Resistance
Authors: Cochran Donald G 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Control of the German cockroach by use of chemical insecticides has a long history going back to at least the early part of this century (Mallis 1969). However, the question of insecticide resistance in these pests did not arise until after the advent of the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides in the late 1940’s. One of them, the cyclodiene chlordane, rapidly became the insecticide of choice for cockroach control. By 1951 there were reports from Texas of failures to obtain satisfactory control with this chemical (Grayson 1966). Later research confirmed that high-level resistance to chlordane was present in field populations of the German cockroach (Fisk and Isert 1953, Grayson 1954, Heal et al. 1953). Subsequently, resistance to this material became so widespread in the USA that it had to be abandoned for cockroach control (Grayson 1966). By the mid-1950’s it was apparent that the German cockroach could also develop resistance to DDT and pyrethrins (Grayson 1966). DDT was not used commercially for German cockroach control in the USA, but selections in the laboratory produced high-level resistance to it (Grayson 1953). Natural pyrethrins have been used in cockroach control for many years, mainly as a flushing agent. Thus, it is not surprising that resistance to pyrethrins has been known in the German cockroach since the early 1950’s (Keller et al. 1956). Indeed, it is highly likely that resistance to pyrethrins existed in this pest for some time prior to its actual discovery, and may represent the earliest case of resistance in this species.
Biochemistry of Spermatozoa and Seminal Plasma
Authors: Mortimer David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As discussed in Chapter 2, human seminal plasma is a complex secretion containing numerous substances some of which are specific for the accessory gland, which contributed a fraction of the ejaculate. These substances in particular can be diagnostically useful as markers for the presence or absence, dysfunction, or infection of particular accessory glands. It is now generally accepted that seminal plasma biochemical markers are expressed in quantities per ejaculate rather than per milliliter (e.g., World Health Organization, 1992) as it is considered to better reflect the secretory capacity of the particular accessory gland.
Written By Themselves: Views and Reviews, 1750–1861
Authors: Davis Charles T , Gates Henry Louis 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The writings of the once enslaved, of the captive and his or her boldly effected escape, have long enjoyed an especial readership in Western cultures. Arna Bontemps compares the genre of black slave narratives to that of the Western; he could just as appropriately have compared the genre to detective fiction. The recently published narratives of the Iranian hostages, the detailed and impassioned stories of the American citizens imprisoned in Iran, are merely generic extensions of the slave narratives, which, in tum, were fundamentally related structurally to the Indian captivity tale, so popular in the late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-centuries, some of which have been collected by Richard Van der Beets in Held Captive by Indians: Selected Narratives, 1642–1836.This section of our book reprints several reviews of slave narratives to begin to recreate a sense of the critical reception these books received at the time of publication, and a sense of their role in the anti-slavery struggle. As many of these attest, the writings of the slaves were used to prove the common humanity and the intellectual capacities that persons of African descent shared with Europeans and Americans.
The Slave Narratives as Literature
Authors: Davis Charles T , Gates Henry Louis 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of the most quickly expanding fields of contemporary literary history is narrative theory. Those principles upon which we define “auto biography” and “fiction,” long thought to be self-evident and matters of common sense, have recently been recognized to be problematical. More over, the status of the black slave’s texts have, only in the past two de cades, received as much close analysis and practical criticism as have other sorts of written discourse. It was to collect these recent examples of literary criticism that the editors originally agreed to prepare this col lection. The essays collected here analyze the narratives as literary works. Some explicate the shared tropes and themes of the genre; others discuss their textual inter-relationships as literary history; still others are close readings of discrete texts. Jean Fagan Yellin’s essay marshals evidence to prove that the richest female slave narrative, the veracity of which until recently disputed by historians as scrupulous as John Blassingame, is indeed the narrative written by the slave, Harriet Jacobs, “by herself.”
Preparing
Authors: Kaye Sanford 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Most people would rather talk than write. Pressed to write, they draw a blank, or feel either that they have nothing new to say or that whatever they have to say could be said better by someone else. Yet when you talk to hesitant writers about assignments at work or school, you find they have too much to say: they are swamped by their research, and feel helpless in trying to sort out their own arguments in a clear and forceful way. The concept of writing with confidence or pleasure is even more mysterious, one reserved for “born writers.” This debilitating illusion is re enforced by our cultural myth that ‘writing can’t be taught.”
Dr. Nietzsche’s Office Hours Are Between 10 and 12 A.M.
Authors: Gustafsson Lars 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is hard to project oneself into one’s work. And still philosophers and writers love to do that. Not to speak about painters like Velasquez in “Las Meninas.” They constantly return to this experiment. Charles Baudelaire does it, for example in “Le Jeu,” when he places himself at the corner of the gambling hall. This is an unusual room, hall and belly at the same time time, populated by unreal gamblers, where the faces are dry and the ladies’ jewellery produces metallic sounds: There is always something very fascinating which takes place at the moment when the artist tries to project himself into his own picture. What attracts our attention by such attempts is, of course, the play with perspective, not unlike that in Baroque painting, the tendency towards infinite regress involved in such enterprises, and last, but not least, their ironic possibilities.
Implications for Theory
Authors: Stillinger Jack 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The foregoing chapters have illustrated multiple authorship in a variety of forms: the young Keats being refined, polished, and restrained by well-intentioned friends and publishers; the middle-aged Mill being spruced up by his wife for attractive autobiographical presentation; the old Wordsworth rewriting his younger self; Coleridge constructing his philosophy with lengthy extracts taken over verbatim without acknowledgment from the Germans; Eliot seizing on the revisions and excisions of his mentor; novelists routinely sharing their authorship with friends, spouses, ghostwriters, agents, editors, censors, publishers; playwrights and screenwriters disappearing in the ordinary processes of play and film production.
Pecksniff and Politics
Authors: Longenbach James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The appearance of “Sunday Morning” in the November 1915 issue of Poetry magazine has always seemed a remarkable feat. Stevens had published only a handful of poems in 1914 (none of them particularly memorable), and before that, he had published no poetry since leaving Harvard in the spring of 1900. His sonnets in the Harvard Advocate look a lot like the rest of the verse in the Harvard Advocate, and not even the exceptional “Ballade of the Pink Parasol” prepares us for the outburst of the earliest poems of Harmonium.
The Fellowship of Men that Perish
Authors: Longenbach James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Paradoxically, one way to witness the war’s presence in Stevens’s early poems of the earth is to notice how much of the argument of “Sunday Morning” or “Peter Quince at the Clavier” is latent in Stevens’s prewar letters and journals. It would seem natural that Stevens would have penned “Sunday Morning” immediately after this meditation of May 2, 1909.To-day I have been roaming about town. In the morning I walked down-town-stopping once to watch three flocks of pigeons circling in the sky.
Jam Sessions
Authors: Crow Bill 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When I moved to New York, I knew my nightly idylls at Birdland couldn’ t last forever. When my money was gone, I went downtown to a printing trades employment agency and they found me a job at Bergen Press, a print shop in the Bronx. I had learned printing in Kirkland, working after school and on weekends for seventy-five cents an hour in the print shop of the East Side Journal, our weekly newspaper. The money was no better in New York: Bergen Press paid me thirty dollars a week to hand-feed a job press for them.
“The Music Goes ‘ Round and Around”
Authors: Crow Bill 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
My dad shipped my old drum set to me from Kirkland in time for my first job with the Mike Riley Trio at a bar and grill in Elmira, New York. I recently looked up Mike’ s vital statistics and found that he was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1904, so he was forty-seven years old when I joined him, but he was a boyish old leprechaun, built like a tree stump. His long, vertical nose erupted sharply between a pair of intensely blue eyes. His fierce red hair had turned gray, but he dyed it back to its original color.
S.S. Uruguay
Authors: Crow Bill 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I took all my instruments with me on the S.S. Uruguay. When we played on deck as the ship was going in and out of port, I played valve trombone. During the evening dance sets I played both bass and drums: bass on the American tunes and drums on the Latin ones. I knew how to play tangos, rhumbas, and sambas, but I had to be taught the baion by a passenger, a Brazilian lady. When the guy she was with complained that we weren’ t playing authentic Latin music, I told him, “Wait ‘ til you hear this next one. It’ s called ‘ Caveat Emptor.’ “ Before we reached our first port of call, Trinidad, we ran into some bad weather. I was awakened early one morning by a metallic rumble that repeated every few seconds. In the dark, I couldn’ t imagine what it could be. When I turned on the light, I saw that it was the metal drawer under my bunk, slowly sliding open and closed. I had hung my trousers on a hook over my bunk, and they were slowly swinging from horizontal to vertical. I realized that the ship, large as it was, was rolling alarmingly.
Terry Gibbs
Authors: Crow Bill 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
My first job with Terry Gibbs was a week at the Rouge Lounge in River. Rouge, Michigan, near Detroit. Our quartet included pianist Terry Pollard, who sometimes played duets with Gibbs at the vibraphone, and Frank DeVito, our drummer. We laughed a lot on that group. We had fun playing together, and we enjoyed each other’ s company off the bandstand. Woody Herman played a concert in Detroit, and most of the band came out to see us afterwards. Red Kelly, Woody’ s bass player, was also from the Pacific Northwest, but we hadn’ t met before. We stood outside the club during a break and got acquainted. When we came back in and passed by Woody’ s table, Red grabbed me by the back of my jacket and held me up in front of Woody as if he were showing him a beagle.
The Half Note
Authors: Crow Bill 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Composer Edgar Varese had someone assemble a group of jazz musicians at Greenwich House one afternoon to experiment with a new form of composition he had devised. There was one of each instrument: me on bass, Ed Shaugnessy on drums, Don Butterfield on tuba, Teddy Charles on vibes, Art Farmer on trumpet, Eddie Bert on trombone, Teo Macero on tenor sax, and one or two others that I can’ t remember. Varese explained that as the composer, his only control of the music would be choosing who was to play when, and for how long. He wanted us to improvise freely within the time parameters he would give us. He said he had chosen jazz musicians because he felt that classically trained musicians weren’ t “free enough.” Varese pulled out a stopwatch and a notepad that contained his composition. He announced something like this: “First, the string bass and the trombone will play together for eighteen seconds. Then the trumpet and the tuba play for fifteen seconds. Then the saxophone and the percussion for twenty-one seconds. Then the vibraphone, saxophone, and tuba for eleven seconds. Then everyone together for twenty-five seconds.
Finding the Poetry Hidden in the Prose
Authors: Bremen Brian A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In “How to Read,” Ezra Pound distinguishes prose as being “less highly charged” than poetry, yet he sees that “during the last century or century and a half prose has … arisen to challenge the poetic pre-eminence.” Pound elsewhere asserts ‘‘that prose is as precious and as much to be sought after as verse, even in its shreds and patches’’ and that “one of the finest chapters in English [may be] hidden in a claptrap novel.” “Great literature,” Pound claims, “is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree,” and those who discover “a mode or process” to do so received Pound’s highest praise; they are ‘‘the inventors.’’
A Century of Spies
Authors: Richelson Jeffrey T 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Spy-masters, moles, and double-agents. Ciphers, saboteurs, and atomic secrets. The shady world of real-life espionage is as alarming and mysterious as any John Le Carré novel or James Bond movie. This outstanding book chronicles the international history of intelligence in the 20th century, exploring the impact of spies on world events during both war and peacetime. The work highlights the key events and breakthroughs in the history of intelligence and espionage - from the codebreaking and sabotage operations in the World Wars to the U2 incident and the CIA’s secret war in Nicaragua. It also offers fascinating details of the colourful individuals who have made a mark as spies, defectors, and counterspies. The increasing importance of technology is a central theme in the book, from the advances in reconnaissance that make modern warfare possible to the spy satellites that help to verify arms control treaties. With the end of the cold war Richelson examines the role of intelligence in the 1990s and beyond, including the possibility of US-Soviet co-operation to combat terrorism and to halt the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons to developing countries.
A Prodigy Despite Her Mother
Authors: Block Adrienne Fried 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It Was Exciting To Be In Boston, a city whose leaders were devoted to the arts and to the city itself as a work of art. Boston used the years following the Great Fire of 1872 not merely to rebuild but to improve, to enhance, to make crooked streets straight, plan for broad avenues and parks, and to decorate with fanciful terra-cotta carvings, ornamental ironwork, and Victorian elaborations in wood. The enormous work of transforming the mud flats of Back Bay into elegant streets of town houses was on its way. The hub, the “modern Athens,” grew more handsome than ever, dominated by a State House with a dome now covered in gold leaf. Of course, no further away than the far side of Beacon Hill was an Irish slum, from whence came many of the day laborers who carried out the plans to beautify the city and the domestics who toiled in Beacon Hill and Back Bay mansions.
