By Elaine Akagi A s a child growing up back in the '50s and '60s, I often heard my parents and their friends talking about "camp." I never knew what "camp" was, but assumed it was a normal part of growing up. Later, much later, I learned that it was in fact an unpleasant part of their young lives. Now, I under-stand that the "camps" were places in the desert, far from civilization, where 120,000 Japanese-Americans, most of them American citizens, were interned following the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was a dark time in the history of the United States. It was a time when people were judged unfairly, solely on race, and tens of thousands of Americans paid with their freedom.

Extractions: At the time I did the interviews with Eleanor Roosevelt, she was at her peak of world popularity. My meetings with her caught her at a time when she spoke for millions of the unfortunate of the world. She taught me, as a relatively youthful reporter, the value of good skills in interviewing: how to catch facts and nuances of meanings as they appeared in interviews, and how to make instant assessments of the major news points of any encounter. She taught me that the higher and more popular the figure, the easier it is to talk to them, to relate to them and to glean from them enormous insights into the human condition, world affairs and the affairs of the heart. The experiences I had covering race relations, civil rights and the anti-war protest movement gave me tremendous insights into the era of the 1960s and 1970s. I think it helped me to bridge the gap between the generation of my period, the 1930s and 1940s and the Vietnam and civil rights protest generation. Without this first hand experience, the nitty-gritty day by day workings of the mentality of the 60s generation would have remained largely a puzzle to me. I was a WWII generation person who could have looked at the hippie generation with alarm, but I learned from the inside the virtues and values of many of this generation, and this helped me to understand the complex nature of their protests. It also helped me to appreciate tolerance in the arena of domestic affairs reporting at a time when it was required in order to provide balanced coverage of such affairs.

Extractions: Publication Date: Fall 2000 Old Route 66 was much more than just a road. It was a bonafide part of American history. Wild and winding, Route 66 was a 2,400-mile roadway that began in Chicago. It snaked westward through eight states and across three time zones before dead-ending into Santa Monica, California. Officially opened in 1924, then finally bypassed in 1984, old Route 66 seems to have been so much more than just a road. It was a bonafide part of American history. The road may have played just as important a role in settling the west during the modern era as the Oregon Trail did in the 1800s. Arizona Crossroads: Along Old Route 66, had to be more historical. Craft set out to learn everything he could about the road.

Extractions: What's New Upcoming Events Organizations Research ... Home In Fatherhood in America: A History, Robert L. Griswold documents the evolving nature of fatherhood throughout the history of America. Griswold's account challenges the myopic notion of a monolithic definition of American fatherhood. He identifies conceptualizations of fathering which have coexisted throughout America's history, calling attention to the influences of slavery, immigration, class, education, and social and economic trends. Within a chronological framework, Griswold incorporates personal accounts with historical and social science perspectives on the major trends that have molded and reshaped various definitions of fatherhood. Some of the major time periods and political events surveyed include the pre-Industrial era, the rise and fall of Industrialism, the Roaring '20s, the Great Depression, World Wars I and II, the activism of the 1960s, and the economic boom of the 1980s.

Extractions: DONNA ALLEN'S WORK WILL LIVE ON by Michael Honey One of Dr. Donna Allen's strongest beliefs was in the principle that everyone should have an equal voice. From 1972 to 1987 she published the Media Report to Women, a newsletter reporting on the ways that women were creating their own media or making inroads into a media world in which money and white men typically rule the airwaves and dominate production and dissemination of the printed word. Dr. Allen also founded The Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press, which continues to publish booklets and to organize programs. Donna Allen insisted that equal access to one's fellow citizens was the first principle for a democracy. Through her own experiences as an activist and educator during the 1940s, 50s and 60s, she discovered how the mass media trivialized, ignored, distorted and otherwise misinformed the public about crucial issues such as national health insurance, labor rights, and racism, sexism, and war. From the 1970s to her death at the age of 78 this summer, she dedicated her life to restructuring mass communications so that the media is no longer controlled by a wealthy few.

Some, such as Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls , become movies. Readers, who vote at their bookstores, seem to love his stuff. Reviewers react, at best, with yawns. I was aware of Patterson's reputation, although I had never read any of his books, when I picked up his latest detective/thriller Four Blind Mice (Little, Brown, 387 pp., $27.95). The book rocketed up the bestseller lists when it came out in November; hundreds of thousands of copies were gobbled up by Patterson's many fans. The few reviews I read were lukewarm. Here's my verdict. You could characterize it as ice cold. I found

Extractions: Willie Morris During the three decades since the London Sunday Times praised his memoir North Toward Home as "the finest evocation of an American boyhood since Mark Twain," Willie Morris has written more than a dozen other books (including a second well-received autobiography) and has attained national prominence in his career as a journalist, nonfiction writer, novelist, editor, and essayist. He is particularly well known for the books and articles in which he compares his experiences and his long and complex southern heritage to America's own history. "I am an American writer who happens to have come from the South," he emphasized in the spring of 1997. "I've tried to put the South into the larger American perspective." William Weaks Morris was born in 1934 in Jackson, Mississippi , but when he was six months old his parents moved to Yazoo City , a small town located, as he writes in North Toward Home , "on the edge of the delta, straddling that memorable divide where the hills end and the flat land begins." His family members were all storytellers, and he grew up in the almost conscious tradition of recounting tales and handing them down from one generation to the next. After he graduated from high school in 1952 as valedictorian of his class, he left the familiar Mississippi Delta for the

Extractions: Since the heyday of Sherlock Holmes a century ago, one of the most elementary aspects in understanding American popular culture has been the popularity of the mystery story. Until the past decade or so, however, many collectors really didn't have a clue as to the "art" of the mystery—wild, weird and often even wacky, over-the-top art that has helped make the genre so compelling for untold millions of readers. Well over a dozen comprehensive and even scholarly "histories of mystery" appeared from the 1940s through the 1950s but most of these focused almost entirely on the creators and their characters. Books such as Murder for Measure (1941) by Howard Haycraft—billed as "the first book about the detective story as a literary form to be brought out in this country"—were wonderful studies in mystery fiction, but typically did not examine artworks and reproduced very little of it. Fortunately for fans, a multitude of evocative images were produced to accompany mysteries in hardbound books, paperbacks, pulps and comics. And a group of spectacular volumes has emerged in recent years to collect it.

COSDON, Times Staff Writer published March 31, 2002 TAMPA "Wow! What a horse!" said the winner of Saturday's American Invitational. Molly Ashe and Kroon Gravin defended their title at Raymond James Stadium. The 31-year-old from Wellington and her 10-year-old Dutch-bred mare completed the jump-off without a fault to win $60,000. They are the first back-to-back winners in the event's 30-year history. The mare had been ill and not shown since July. The first time Ashe competed in a grand prix with her since then was Sunday at the Tampa fairgrounds. Walking onto the course Saturday, "my heart was in my throat," she said. But through the first jump and 16 other obstacles, Kroon Gravin "knew where she was," Ashe said. Only three out of 30 competitors completed the course without a fault. Second went to Laura Kraut and her Dutch-bred gelding Anthem. Her horse's performance, she said, was "the best he's jumped all season." Gabriella Salick took third with her Dutch-bred stallion Sandstone Laurin.
